Soooo....I usually don't do this, I don't like writing about myself but Kellie has been asking me to do this for a while now and I do want to share my experience with you all, especially since Kellie's Consignments helped me achieve it.

This past spring semester I had the opportunity to intern with Cosmopolitan for Latinas in New York City. After working hard at school and working hard to gain experience and build my resume, I applied to Cosmo's internship program for the third time, after already been rejected twice in the past - however this time, it was different. I still sent them constant emails to not forget about me and had to be consistent with them. They would respond every few months telling me they still not had made a decision. The end of my Fall semester approached, as did finals week. At this point, I had begun to give up on my dream of interning at my dream magazine in the big apple and I began preparing to go home for Christmas break. The week before I went home I got an email from one of the editors at Cosmo asking if I had time for a phone interview. I, extremely excited, of course said yes. She interviewed me the next day and offered me the internship on the spot - I literally could not believe it.

So I interned with Cosmopolitan for Latinas during the months of January, February and March of this past spring. While here, I got to see and learn how the magazine industry works. I learned how to write and edit for magazines, how to pages together, how to do research, how to brainstorm in groups, how to pitch ideas for a certain audience and how to work in a fast-paced and competitive environment, all while in heels :) I got to attend a lot of events and met a lot of great people and a few celebrities, which was crazy. I was on the Today Show and I got to attend the Pamela Rolland fashion show at Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week - this was the biggest highlight of my internship; never could I have imagined getting to attend Fashion Week in New York City.  I was also in charge of organizing the beauty and magazine closet in the office, and on the last day of my internship the beauty editor told me I could go in the closet and pick out make-up I wanted. That day I left with new Dior, NARS and M.A.C. makeup, just to name a few.

My supervisor at the magazine told me that when reviewing applications for the position, this blog that I write for Kellie's Consignments helped set me apart from the rest of the applicants. It demonstrated my writing abilities and my knowledge and love of fashion. If I had not interned as a blog writer and social media intern at Kellie's the previous summer, I might have never gotten this great opportunity. It is amazing to see myself grow as a professional and chase my career goals and see my work now published in the newest issue of Cosmopolitan for Latinas. Thank you Kellie's! I love working here and writing this blog! <3

Kellie's Consignments was chosen to compete in a contest with Fanatics!!! We had to choose our favorite MLB hat from their fabulous hat selection online and create a collage ensamble. We had up to 7 additional pieces of clothing/accessories we could use to complete our outfit. This is the super cute outfit our wonderful Social Media and Internet Sales leader Christina put together. Everything she used is from Kellie's Consignments. 


Make sure to check out Fanatics to find more stylish hats for all your game day events this summer!
