today was a fairytale.

I have yet to really share my internship experiences on my blog. I currently intern in the Marketing department for JEZEBEL Magazine in Atlanta, which is a part of Modern Luxury. Recently, I've been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to help one of the editors on a story she's working on. I'm usually there 3 days a week, about 7-8 hours a day. I wish I blogged about my experiences in New York because there were many great stories to tell and plenty days full of crazy. Better now than never, I suppose.

Today was intense.

Here's a log of my day. I got the idea from ELLE, when I read their special edition issue.
