Confessions of a Styling Assistant....

SMD,

So I have some exciting news!...I recently got confirmation that I will be an assisting with Runway Ready (a styling company in Dallas) for a SAG signature film. They are the sole styling company of the film and I get to be apart of it!...I'm really excited. This is my first real experience being apart of a styling company, especially of this caliber, so I'm happy that I get to really get a feel for styling and being on set.

Ultimate Panic Attack..

Today was the first meeting. I had been so excited ever since I got word that I was going to be assisting with the project. But, I got a new job (sales associate at Macy's)...so I was scheduled to work today. I didn't get off until 3p and the meeting was at 4p..BUT..way in Lewsville (40 minutes from my job)...

I dashed out of the store...quickly changed in the back of my car (my work attire just wasn't up to par for a FASHION meeting...of course)...LOL..I even changed my hair...

So, anyway, I finally got dressed...clothes on...new hair in...makeup retouched...and was on my way...until...I.GOT.LOST. Yes! I got lost, on one of the most important days for me, something I have been looking forward to for days, and I got lost on the way. I was horrified. Worried. Frustrated beyond belief! I didn't even know if they would still let me participate (and I hate being the girl who walks in late...eyes staring at you...ugh) but finally I found my way...I made it! (20 minutes fashionably late...lol)

Final Destination...

I walk in. And...was greeted with smiles from the girls. Once I got there everyone was really cool. Fanitsa (the owner of RR) didn't even lash out at me (for some reason I pictured Kelly Cutrone, from Peoples Revolution, while I was driving...biting my head off...thus my fear). But, Fanitsa and her team were sweet and understanding of everyone's schedule. Everyone seemed easy going and happy, which fits my personality perfectly. We went over details about the shoot which will last an entire month! YAY!

I couldn't be more excited to work on this project and share my journey with you. Whether your into fashion or could just really give a hoot about this season's "shade of peach" this still should be a fun ride. I'm excited to learn and grow as a stylist and have lot's of memorable experiences along the way!...

Stay tuned... :-D
