over the last four years i have built up my closet with earth tones and riding boots to fit the RL mantra. now i'm throwing all that out to refill my closet with black, white, and splashes of bold color and prints. more than once since i've started at KS, friends have said to me, "i wasn't surprised at all that you are working for kate spade because it is totally your style." i couldn't agree more, which is why i say i'm going to have a major shopping problem!

the new job is more creatively based than i previously was doing, which is something i was really looking for. the environment is much less corporate than my old job and filled with very creative types. most of the employees are 25-35 year old women that are incredibly driven, and i feel like i fit right into the culture. most of the employees have been there less than 3 years (which is when kate spade sold her brand to liz claiborne inc), so i'm really getting in at a time of major growth and opportunity. the hours are longer and the work much less structured, and i barely notice. glittered pumps and polka dot prints are everywhere you can see, and the cultured, classic, stylish woman define the brand and the environment of what it is to work there.
there is a quote from "sex and the city" where carrie says, "every woman in new york is either looking for a job, a boyfriend, or an apartment." i have always felt that this was a true statement based on my experiences here; i have gone through a lot of challenges (stolen wallets, stolen identities, bed bugs, getting stood up on dates....), but i can honestly say that as of this moment: there is nothing else i want; i am the happiest and most blessed girl in the world. how many people can really say that and mean it?
