Monthly Task

Hey guys so the 3rd of every month my boss's expenses are "due" which means I have to gather all of her receipts from things she used her corp amex card for such as transportation, food, travel, etc after I gather all of the transportation together and tape them down on blank paper in order by date leading up to the 3rd. Then I put the food receipts in order by date and all make sure she lets me know who she attended dinner with and what company they work for ( we have to do that if it's over a certain amount), so one receipt might say dinner with Jane Doe from Valentino you guys get the idea right? lol. After I tape the receipts down I have to do a grand total of transportation, sometimes it comes out to the biggest numbers you can imagine lol other times it can be a really small amount. From here I input these numbers into the company website in the expenses section and from there do a little faxing and uploading receipt photos and were done. lol I know that may sound like a lot but it isn't. Once you're doing it and is use to it you'll be done in no time. I remember my first time doing them alone it was july 3rd and the office had a half day due to the holiday being the 4th of July everyone had left including my boss's and the assistants and the other interns ahhh I was stuck there for at least an extra 2 hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I even made friends with a women in the help department on the 1800 number names Pam she was such a big help lol. Now I can do expenses with my eyes closed and have showed other interns how to do them as well. Below are photos of the starting out process lol enjoy and I hope I didn't talk you guy's ears off! 

by the way Hurricane Sandy stopped me from doing them before the 3rd but don't worry I'm finishing them as soon as I get into the office monday morning.

About Me

I don't know why I didn't introduce myself in my first post but here it is now. Hi everyone I'm Victor Q. I'm from the sunny city of Los Angeles California. I moved here to NYC in January of 2011 to pursue a career and future in fashion. I attend the Art Institute of New York City and I wish I hadn't. I wish that I had someone there to tell me that you do not need a degree in fashion to work in fashion. Now I'm stuck learning about things I don't care about at all lol, it's almost over thank goodness. I also work at H&M and cannot wait to get out of retail and have a career lol. I'm the Accessories Market Intern at Marie Claire Magazine and have been so since May 1st 2012. I have previously intern at Teen-Vogue Magazine, Lucky Magazine, Ford Models and Sophomore Clothing Co. As you can see I have a little experience in the fashion industry lol. I don't know what it is about accessories that I love but I just love them. I mean I love clothing but to me accessories speak so much more louder then clothing does. Anywho, yeah that's my life in a paragraph lol talk to you guys soon.

The Accessories Intern

How many times have any of you gotten dressed and was looking in the mirror thinking to yourself "somethings missing" only to realize you need to add a bow-tie or a necklace, a bracelet or bangle. Accessories not only complete a look but adds character to it as well. I think we need a blog/site devoted to accessories and me being an Accessories Intern who better to do so. So with that being said my blog/site will focus on accessories and how to wear them wisely an of course they'll be within everyone's budget being as though I'm a broke fashion student who interns and works in retail on the weekends to pay my rent lol.

The necklace above I got today while doing a little shopping to get ready for the hurricane we're having here in NYC. We walked passed a street free and there was a booth filled with all kinds of accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, bangles, glasses etc. The necklace cost $10 but me being me with my wide smile and only have $7 cash in my pocket I talked her into giving me the necklace for $7 lol, a smile can go a long way.


I'm going to update my blog/site weekly on new accessories finds I make and show what I've paired them with. STAY TUNED!
