So it’s official! I received an offer from C 10/2/14. I accepted the offer 10/3/14 and am so freaking excited about this new venture.
 
 I am pushing for true start date to be 11/3 so we’ll see if they accept.
 
 The news went pretty well w J and P and am really happy they took it so well.
 
 
 
 
 

What a wonderful bday week! Last Sunday B and Adis took me Decoy for dinner. The food was so amazing!

We shared Peking duck and oxtail dumplings and Uni noodles. It was amazing!

Before that we saw Gone Girl which was so freaking amazing. Very well acted by the two leads Ben Affleck and the actress.

Made a quick stop at Red bull studios gallery to see some weird ass art.

So I’m patiently waiting for an answer. Kind of funny because another recruiter reached out to me regarding a position that I would be interested in.
 
 Part of me wants to pursue it to find out but I just don’t think it would be the right move. Would be lateral rather than vertical.
 
 
 

First time going to Brooklyn Heights area. Went to the Smorgasburg flea which was super fun. So many goodies and snacks.
 
 
 
 
 
 

So we officially had our last beach day of the summer.
 
 It’s kind of crazy that it’s the last day of September but this weekend the temps have been in the 80’s!
 
 This was the perfect day Togo because the weather was so perfect. Not humid at all and sunny but still cool. Miki had his umbrella so he was ok.
 
 We even got him to go into the water and swim. Was so freaking cute! He had a lot of fun and I think going forward we will bring him. It’s good for him to get some exercise.
 
 

Really hope that this new job that I’m applying for works out.
 
 So far I have applied to several and I’ve realized that it’s really hard to make the switch.
 
 I can justify it by saying that there’s a change in management and or they didn’t like my projects and or maybe it was just not meant to be.
 
 It’s difficult to be sure and I don’t have an answer but I’ve come to realize that after so many attempts whatever happens is just meant to be.
 
 In hindsight I look book at the position for TB and am relieved that it didn’t work out. Same with CH. It’s funny how you convince yourself internally that it’s the right thing to do.
 
 I’m feeling really positive about this one. She even had me meet with her team.
 
 More importantly I respect her which is so important. I’ve had friends who have bosses they have no respect for and its just really sad.
 
 Let’s see if this really happens. Fingers crossed!
 
 
 

So i went on my last intvw with TB and I left with a wonderful feeling like all went well.
 
 Turns out that it did not actually turn out well. T felt that my presentation was no up to par and also felt that I was probably not the right fit.
 
 I had Brunch with Kyle the other day and after he saw the project he mentioned that it should have been more about the journey than the actual product and or sketches.
 
 To be honest, the whole BS behind inspiration is such a waste of time- more of selling tool rather than useful info. He as saying that for example if I felt that the them was Morocco that the colors should have been curry, cumin and cayenne etc… Which I totally understand. Lesson learned- but in my eyes if someone presented this gorgeous mood/inspiration board but with no sketches and or weak sketches I would not hire them either. I guess i’s about finding the right balance.
 
 
 I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason so hopefully something positive comes around.
 
 
 

Wow. I had such a wonderful interview with Elizabeth.
 
 Super friendly and warm and so glad that she was down to earth and cool.
 
 I feel really positive about this and don’t think I have ever felt so positive about an interview.
 
 If it comes down to me leaving and moving on I am going to feel so awful and bad for doing it but I feel like I have to do whats right for me and my career.
 
 It’s really funny because I had this completely different view of what T would be like inside and am so happy that I was wrong.
 
 It’s true that she believes in not being that diva fashion company and am so happy that she stands by that.
 
 I’m working on my thank you notes now. Fingers crossed and hopefully I get the job!!!
 

So I have a second interview with T tomorrow. I previously had an intvw with HL and I assumed that it went really well but instead I received no email reply back.

I even sent several follow up emails and heard no reply.

I am a strong believer of Karma and one day that HR girl will apply to other companies. I feel like after all that I went through I at least deserved a reply.

So my first interview with J went really well. I was really happy with how well the interview went. The interview took a full hour which was surprising.

So now I have my second interview tomorrow and hopefully that goes well also. I am really looking forward to moving on to new challenges and experiences. Let’s see where this goes and I am sure that fate will decide where I end up.

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast day at Montmartre. Fried chicken and french toast
 afterwards went to sample sale and a quick stop at Opening Ceremony and Project No8.
 
 After that we went to see the movie Under My Skin with Scar Jo. Was really strange and creepy with barely any talking.
 
 Didn’t hate or love it but was just interesting. Definitely kept me interested throughout the whole movie because everything was so vague.
 
 So I guess its always about never giving to much away.
