I love my current occupation: Fashion Bitch!

I've been doing a lot of heavy lifting and running around this week, but it has been SO worth it. Assisting Tiffany on this styling assignment has definitely been one of the coolest things I've done in quite a long time. It's been really neat seeing my buddy in action—using her decision-making and problem-solving skills—I've learned a lot! Not to mention, I'm watching her do her dream job right before my very eyes—it's amazing!

Susie needed 18 looks, so we brought lots of options. It was quite a challenge packing and unpacking the SUV each time. You should have seen me loaded up with bags on each shoulder and around my biceps—I'm surprised I didn't just tip over!

The infamous Food Network logo!

Being in the office was so cool. Susie led us to a room for the fitting, and she seemed really excited to get started—even at 7am! So remember the DKNY jersey dress we loved that I went to the stock room to find? Well, that was our first look and Susie didn't love it nearly as much as we did. Shiiite! Our next one was a Nanette Lepore suit dress that was totally chic (she wanted a business-y outfit for her first appearance on the show), but she wasn't 100 percent sold on it either. Strike TWO! I was a bit nervous on the shaky start, but everything else was just about perfect. Susie was so cool and down-to-earth, and just seemed really pleased with what we pulled together. As she tried on one thing after another she said, "Each thing I try on is my new favorite outfit!" That was music to our ears. Phew!

I was sad when everything was over—it went by so fast. I way too eagerly shook Susie's hand at the end—I hope we cross paths again soon! I was tempted to ask her for a quick pic, but I didn't want to be that girl, plus she was running late to a meeting. Oh well, hopefully there will be a next time!

We had a few issues sticking within our budget, but we're working the kinks out now. Tiffany asked me to work again tomorrow and I happily agreed. I love working and being busy! I've neglected the blog just a bit more than usual, but don't worry, I'll get back on track soon. Until tomorrow...later, bitches!

I have resurfaced from under a pile of clothes!

Hey guys! My goodness, yesterday was such a fun day, but very busy! We went pretty much nonstop until 1opm with a quick dinner break—Tiffany's homemade rissotto—and by the time my head hit the pillow at 10:30, it felt like it should be 1am! Anyway, here's what went down.

We used the studio services at Bloomingdales which means we have to keep 20 percent of anything we pull for the shoot. That's what most stylists do—otherwise, if you shop the store like normal and then return everything, the salesperson gets royally screwed on her commission!

So here I am in the studio with my bright orange Studio Services sticker. Antonio, the sweet guy who helped us all day, was laughing when I posed for a few pics. I had to explain to him that the mini photo shoot was for Fired 'n' Fabulous of course! That sticker even gave me access to the stock room. One time I went back there to find a different size in a DKNY jersey dress we were dyyying over, and one of the stock guys said to me, "Hey, you make $100,000 a year?" Me: "Umm, no, not even close." His response, "Well that's too bad because you're appearance is working for me, but I need to find a girl with money in tha bank!" My appearance is working for him? Right. Why do I have a feeling stock boy has more cheese than I do?

Anyway, we pulled a million great things—Black Halo, Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg, Trina Turk, See by Chloe, Helmut Lang, Theory—you name it, we got it. Ohh and my new favorite line is All Saints. I'm sure it's been in Bloomingdales for forever, but I just noticed it for the first time yesterday, and it is freakin' awesome. The style has a cool, rustic flair, and the prices are reasonable too. Love it!

After our 3-hour shopping trip at Bloomies, we scarfed down our turkey wraps on the subway as we headed to our appointment at DVF where we met with a PR girl to lead us around the store and pull whatever we needed. After that, we went to a few more stores and then headed back to Tiff's apartment where we unpacked all of our great finds! I know it sounds like all glitz and glamour, but trust me, there were some not-so-fun moments as well. I have aching biceps and blistered fingers to prove it!

It was really satisfying to see everything we got. We worked hard, and I learned a lot about Tiffany's job. A day in the life of a stylist is tough man! Seriously. We had to work under a lot of parameters, like a budget being a huge one, as well as only getting certain styles and cuts of clothing. And of course, we had a few hiccups—we were given the wrong size, color and style for some pieces, but I guess that's bound to happen. Not to worry, Tiff, I'm on it!

I loved the costume jewelry from nOir Tiff called in—it's so much fun!

This post wouldn't be complete without Rocky! Look as his adorable puff jacket with a fur collar. Awww!

Alright, guys, I'm heading out to meet up with Tiffany for MORE shopping. The fitting with Susie is early tomorrow morning, so we need to make sure everything is perfect by the end of the day, and you better believe it will be.

Gosh, I would love to be a celeb so that I could have someone as talented as Tiffany style me. If you had your own stylist, what would you need help with the most? For me, I'd need guidance on execution. I have great ideas in my head, but they don't always translate how I want them to in person!
