THE CITY - If you want something done right






This episode of The City seemed more beneficial to most of us than the previous episode which focused on boys. This time we saw Whitney struggling in promoting her new clothing line, Roxy as the barrier to making things better than what it could've been, Olivia running around to get clothes for the Today Show segment, and Erin getting pissed and upset with her- again. I enjoyed watching how a photo shoot for a look book was actually like, and how much better than Olivia we could've done in just picking out outfits that were more than enough for Erin to be pleased. I was not surprised that Roxy offered suggestions once again, and i know from this episode we have learnt that:

-never get carried away in photo shoots
-never offer ridiculous suggestions to your boss at a photo shoot
-never feel satisfied with your job when your boss isn't happy with you
-never suggest your boss to have an open mind
-never keep quiet to your co worker when both of you are pulling out outfits

THE CITY - Friends and Foe Workers





After watching this episode of The City, I think it would be great to emphasize on how important this show would be as an encyclopedia for those who want to channel their career path towards the fashion industry. Both Whitney and Olivia are involved in fashion, but one is in Public Relations/Designer, and the other is an Accessory Director at Elle magazine. In this episode, all of the girls get to go to Miami Fashion week, where they were given important tasks. Whitney and Roxy were suppose to help out in a fashion show, and Olivia was supposed to check out on the season's accessories. However, this week none of the girls succeeded, except for Erin whose job was to host the Elle afterparty. Here is a list of things I had learn from this episode:

-never forget your pen and paper during a meeting (Roxy)
-never work with your friends in the same company (Roxy and Whitney)
-never sabotage your co-worker (Erin)
-never fight when you are at the backstage of a fashion show (Roxy and Whitney)
-never not go to the trade shows (Olivia)
-never not listen to your boss (Erin)
-never order room service when you are on a business trip (Roxy)
-never comment on your boss when she is still in the room (Roxy)

Fashion at work

At the work place, its best to wear according to your status, or age. Here are some examples of what to wear.

-Director
-Editor in Chief
-basically the boss

This look is totally professional and chic. A tailored suit is extremely appropriate in the office, and for running around the city in a hurry to get a cab. Olivia Palermo topped the look with the classic Hermes Birkin bag, to polish the sharp office look. This look may not be cheap, but it would be worth it considering the pay you are getting, so it really describes your status and you salary in a way.


-Intern

Starting your career, especially if you're in the fashion field, you must always feel comfortable and fashionable. Your hair must also be neat at all times, and a cardigan is best when you're finishing up with the copying machine in the office, or when you're running around in the city getting a bunch of skirts from calvin klein, and 5 extra hot starbucks coffee for your boss. Its best to not wear heels in this job, but you can always keep your outfit cool and chic with flats and stockings.

-Public relations
-Human resource
-someone who is constantly in the office

What speaks 'office' more than a blazer? This could also be an intern look, but from the outfit, you can tell its much more expensive than the previous look. This is the look that other children would look at and wish it was them, that they could look like that on a daily basis. Personally i absolutely love the Fashion Toast blogger, and her sense of style is absolutely wearable but high fashion.
