NAME: Julia Kalachnikoff Position / Job title?: Accessories Director, Lucky When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? An archaeologist. I was obsessed with ancient Egypt. Fast-forward several years/decades. How did you land (or create) your current position? Internships! I interned starting my sophomore year- I studied Photography at Parsons but half way through my Greetings from London! My bff, Katie, moved to London, so I obviously had to come visit her. So far we have only been here a day, but we have accomplished so much. A quick rundown of the last 24 hours: Landed at Heathrow, went to Camden Market, had a real British tea at Fortnum & Mason (I consumed wayyy too many scones with clotted cream), quick pit stop at Liberty London, had a pint at The Holly Bush in Hampstead Heath…and then, that brings us to dinner at Byron – This infograph came to me at a very timely moment. If you didn’t know, my husband is currently in training with the Marine Corp to become a pilot. He’s learning a lot in his classes…but what he fanatically reports to me every single day are the perils of flying. Seriously, E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y he explains to me and shows me YouTube videos of how jets and other military aircrafts have crashed. Wouldn’t you know, Pilot is 3rd on the list of most dangerous jobs in the US. He’s flown already, and I guess in someways it’s reassuring that he’s learning what NOT
Alyse Mason Brill Position / Job title?: Founder, Fit Approach Founder, SweatGuru 1) When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? So many things! I wanted to be a veterinarian until the first time I saw our vet take my cat’s temperature – that was a real deal breaker for me. After that, I
In 2010, Carol Han and Alexandra Weiss took the ultimate plunge: they left their cushy fashion jobs to start CA Creative, an agency focused on growing brand identity and business by maintaining attention in digital spaces. Before they decided to go off on their own, Carol worked for Elle and StyleCaster, while Alex was at Ralph Lauren. With their combined years of editorial and fashion experience, they felt like should combine forces to I get some nifty tips from my fellow fashion bloggers. I was recently reading Goodwillista, and she mentioned that she found some good costume necklaces on eBay. I thought this was a really good idea because I have been on the hunt for the perfect necklace, but didn’t really want to spend tons on it. Low and behold, eBay proved to be a goldmine! I found so many good necklace, and they were all under $10. Last week was pretty gloomy here in Austin, and I honestly didn’t feel like getting dressed at all. To cheer myself up, I can wholeheartedly say that everything in my life is better when it is sunny and warm outside. I was going through some pictures I took last week versus some I took this morning (it is rainy and cold today), and I just look so much better in the sun! I guess everyone does. Maybe I look more awkward in the cold weather pics because I am rushing to get back inside. Anyways, since it is supposed to be cold (I know, I shouldn’t complain because it is WAY colder elsewhere) for the next few days, I decided to post
This is really only a question I suppose a 40 something can answer and after perusing this site and reading some of the posts I whole-heartedly agree with their advice. It’s all very sound and practical and wise. None of which I usually am, and I especially wasn’t in my 20’s. I had a great career, made Yes, this is another “Dear Diary” type post. Yes, I have become a typical gen-y female whining constantly about her love life (or lack there of). Yes, I know it is extremely annoying. Yes, I know, I am probably the reason I am still single. Okay, I have to do a blog post about my date, so I can get it off my chest, and move on with my day. After taking a major break from online dating, I decided to re-activate my OkCupid profile a few weeks ago. So last night, I met up with a fellow that I If my kids choose not to go to college, I might be more proud of them that way. If you’re shocked and appalled, bear with me here… My husband and I have been talking about the value of trade schools. We’ve been talking about them in the sense that we’d like to encourage our future kids to consider a trade school if it makes more sense. More generally, we were talking about how great it would be for the general public to stop devaluing the path to a well-paying blue collar job instead of glorifying a debt-laden education. It’s not |
