Long time, no blog. I don't understand how people can keep this up as a full-time job...I can barely remember to post once a month, let alone once a day. It's been a while though, so I figured I would come on and write about my most recent day-to-day life...I got a new job! Finally (my dad says) lol no but really I DID graduate in December so it's overdue. Regardless, I am now an employee of Echo Design in Midtown Manhattan and absolutely LOVING it. For those of you who have known me for a while, you'll know that working in fashion in NYC was a farfetched dream of mine...and it's now a reality...I am so pleased!
The company is a family owned business going on 95 years, built around their passion for silk scarves. Since its inception however, the brand has branched out to swimwear, outwear, hats, gloves and other accessories. Based out of NYC, Echo has such a great working environment with great employees (and I'm not just saying that to suck up to my boss...she doesn't even read my blog posts lol). Everyday is different, fun and so fast paced. Fashion in New York City is no joke, but so exhilarating. My position, if anyone cares, is Sales Assistant..which doesn't really give much away about what I do day-to-day and to be quite honest it's different each day. I work for two great ladies who deal with department store and off-price store sales and assist them throughout the week with various tasks - whether that be running reports, hanging clothing, interacting with our buyers, etc. It's so versatile and ever-changing and such a great learning environment. One of the best parts about the job, as we pride ourselves on the beautiful accessories, is we wear the pieces each day as part of our outfit...no better accessory than a gorgeous silk scarf...Echo made of course! Anyway, if I filled you in on my tasks since I started a month ago, I would be here a while so I'll spare you the details. Life is good, I love my job. Steve, after working a while for a fragrance company, decided to move into the world of pharmaceuticals and is now an employed chemist at a company nearby. We spend our weekends lounging around the house, after long days at work during the week. We've planned a few trips before the end of the year - Busch Gardens over Labor Day Weekend and more importantly - Glasgow and London over the Christmas Holiday..at long last! I've been wanting Steve to come home and visit my extended family for years now, but it never seemed to work out and finally it has worked itself out - flights are booked! Were also spending a few days in London as Steve has never been to the UK and wanted to do a bit of traveling while we were there...so we've got some days out in London to plan over the next few months - recommendations welcome! I have no recent photos to post with this blog as I spend most of my time in the office, I'll try and get a few of my walk to work over the next few weeks and maybe I'll remember to post again before the next solar eclipse!
