Busy Bee

I apologize for neglecting the Little Black Blog as of late. I've been super busy with classes and my internship. SO, to make up for lost time, I'll blog about what's been keeping me from writing about my one true love: fashion.

First off, the internship! I'm currently interning for Little Lime Dress, an online styling and shopping website. On a daily basis I'll manage Little Lime Dress' social networking, e-mails about partnerships with other companies, blogging (which is why the LBB gets a bit neglected lately), and my FAVORITE part of my job, adding to the website the merchandise we sell!

Little Lime Dress is so great and ALL OF YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT THE SITE because not only do you get amazing merchandise with great prices, a blog that keeps up with fashion week and the latest trends, and online styling, but if you purchase a styling service you get an ACTUAL human being putting together outfits for you, not just a machine!

Check out Little Lime Dress here.

And read the blog The Juicer here.

Next up, the Fusion Fashion show! I've been volunteering for Fusion since November and the experience has been incredibly enriching. For anyone who doesn't know about Fusion, here's a bit of history for ya.

Every year, FIT and Parsons face off at the Fusion Fashion Show and show their 5 best looks per designer to a packed crowd and a star-studded judging table. Students from each school apply in October with a portfolio of 5 looks they would like to create from start to finish, and the director of Fusion chooses 15 students from each school.

Okay, enough of the boring blah blah blah.

Fusion is going to be CRAZY this year! Obviously I'm rooting for FIT.

Take a gander at this year's designers here.

(And if you want to see me in my shining glory on the Volunteers' page, click here.)

Also, for some intrigue, Teen Vogue and GQ are two of the judges this year.

GO FIT!

Finally, I had to go to the MoMA this weekend for a report, and holy cowgrass I LOVED IT!

If you walk in there and you're not inspired by something, shame on you.

Probably my favorite piece was Ingo Maurer's "Porca Misiera!" Chandelier, made in 1994.

Annually, only ten of these are made. The makers build them by dropping plates on the floor or breaking them with hammers, and then they visualize the chandelier's final design. The title "Porca Misiera" is similar to the Italian proclamation "DAMN!".

Well, frankly put, DAMN. This thing is so DAMN cool.

It's inspired me so much that I'm breaking dishes to make a texture for one of my classes. Can't wait to destroy the floor of my dorm with some plates!

I promise I'll try to blog more often, guys!
