Teen Vogue Fashion University Day 2

Day 2 was the longest day of the weekend and also the most exciting! We had our sessions with the speakers and learned so much. When we first arrived, we got our IDs with our individual schedules on the back. We also received a gift bag full of amazing products. My favorites was the Topshop Lip Crayon.

After we checked in, we went downstairs where there were various activities like this Sperry Spin to win wheel. Guess who won a pair of shoes? This girl!

On to one of my favorite parts..

Amy Astley + Teen Vogue Editors.

Amy Astley is the Editor in Chief of Teen Vogue. She basically has the best job on earth! Hearing Amy speak was amazing. She was so nice and informative and down to earth. She really did seem like she really cared about us and the future of the fashion media industry and that she really wanted to help us achieve our goals. The editors were also very helpful.

We got to hear first hand how each one of the editors got their start and there was also a Q & A session. It was so helpful to hear how they all broke into the industry. They were all so funny and genuine. They are a great team of people working together. They all bring different things to the table and all have their own point of view, which I learned was very essential in becoming an editor.

Elaine Welteroth and Sheena Smith even reposted my picture on their instagrams and twitters!
                          

After the Editor Panel, I went to my session with the designers behind Dannijo, Danielle and Jodie Snyder. They were so funny and cool. They gave great advice about breaking into the industry and how to work with family.

After Dannijo was my session with Thakoon. He was interesting because he didn't study fashion because of his parents influence. However, he knew he loved it. He gave great advice on being a good intern also.

Next, I had my session with Jessie Randall of Loeffler Randall. She was so sweet. She showed us videos and gave us background information on what goes into producing a line and getting it into stores. You can tell she really loves her brand and it's like her baby.

Following Jessie Randall, I had the lovely Coco Rocha. She was so funny but also motivational. She is standing up for underaged models and teaching them that they don't have to get nude to succeed in the modeling industry. She also let us in on where she got her shoes.. Payless! I loved her session!

My phone was dead for the last session, which was with the bloggers behind Into The Gloss and The Coveteur; two blogs I love. They told us a little about how they came up with their blogs and how they keep them fresh and alive.

After the last session, we headed to Topshop for the party. I spotted Jordan Dunn but my phone was dead. But it was really fun.

I was so tired afterwards that I went back to my hotel and ordered in. I ordered this delicious pizza from the bar downstairs in the hotel and got ready for the next day... Graduation!!
