Day 1

Yesterday was my first day as Judy's intern and I am already having a ball. I arrived at her house around 9 and we quickly jumped in the car and headed for downtown. First stop on our list, California Market Center (CMC). This (gigantic) place was filled with amazing vendors and showrooms. We were there to drop off fabrics but I had fun walking around, popping in and out of showrooms and playing dress up in one of the purse shops.

From there we walked a couple blocks over to the Fashion Building where we met with the Avant Garde Apparel Group. This was the coolest place ever. It was a big, open warehouse, all painted white with chrome accents. Rows and rows of leather jackets filled the room. Judy and I made ourselves right at home trying on jackets and picking out which ones we would like to take home. Although the cute man, that was helping us, offered amazing deals, we walked away empty handed. But I'm planning on taking him up on his offer some day, soon :) At noon we had had appointment with Lafayette Textile Industries to pick out a jersey material for a t-shirt design. And by the time we were finished there we were hungry for lunch. On our way to lunch we saw a sign for a Barney's Warehouse Sale and decided to make a little detour to check it out. I ended up walking away with a pair of incredible Jerome Rousseau boots. Im in love.

An hour or so later, after a lot of trying on shoes, we finally made it to the cutest little hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant. I wish I had gotten the name because I will definitely be going back. And finally we headed back to the house to walk the dogs and make a quick trip into Beckley's, the store Judy is designing for, to drop off swatches. On a scale of 1-10, I would say my first day was an 11.
