nyc day 1: teen vogue
Thursday, September 16, 2010 by jennie 
from the moment i landed at jfk international airport, i was already on a non-stop spree going place to place. after finding our home away from home in the east village, christina and i met with aimee to get an exclusive tour of the teen vogue offices at conde nast courtesy of our friend dara.
i was in complete awe of the space. honestly, it looked like any other office building; however, this one had the most coveted shoes, clothes and beauty items everywhere you looked. in fact, i was literally stopped in my tracks by an office half full of shoes on the floor. amy astley's office was light and airy perfection with floor to ceiling windows and sterile, stark white from top to bottom. we also met the adorable eva chen, beauty director (in photo above), who told us all about her path to becoming part of the team at teen vogue.
the best surprise of the tour was that we got to visit the beauty closet and take some goodies home with us! we were like kids in a candy store just giggling and running from shelf to shelf, scooping up product after product.
before we arrived at teen vogue, christina and i made a pit stop at topshop, where i regret not buying a few items. i visited uniqlo for the first time and fell in love with this faux fur vest. i also toted around my new marc by marc jacobs purse while sporting my new jeffrey campbell boots. i can't stop wearing them!
i've also started a facebook fan page! please check it out and 'like' it in the sidebar on this page.

That beauty closet looks killer. I'm so glad I don't work in a magazine. I would be promptly sent to jail for attempting to haul away all their samples.
PS - love that faux fur vest. and you can never go wrong with a pair of campbells!
Ahhhh! I love those boots. I've been lusting over them. They look fab on you!
