The Halfway Hookup

Hey guys,

My name is Hanna, and no, I'm not kidding- there are three of us. This summer, it’s my job to help mark team up with some of the hottest celebs, stylists and makeup artists in the industry as the Alliance intern. Hey, it beats scooping ice cream in New Hampshire all summer, right?

As we plow head-on into the “over the hump” halfway point of our internship, I am super pumped for this upcoming week! Not only do I get to celebrate my 20th birthday and (four year anniversary with mark!) with the entire intern crew, but we are heading off tonight for round two of Gabrielle Bernstein time. At 7:00 p.m., the girls and I are attending motivational speaker turned author’s workshop on “mirroring.” Tonight she will explain (and give us the Readers Digest version) of the anciently rooted Law of Attraction. The workshop is centered around the power of positive energy. Come on guys, it’s time for us to get hip to the idea that what we see in ourselves is what we will get out of the world around us. And although quantum physics is not my area of expertise, nor is it part of my job description, I think this stuff is pretty cool! Gabrielle is one hooked-up woman making her mark! ;)

In this economy (ah, why does everything always comes back to the dreaded “economy” reference) we are all watching our wallets. Whether you’re packing a lunch, carpooling or opting for DIY mani/pedi’s, it’s time to get serious about where we spend our money. Okay, I’ll get off my soapbox now, only so I can let you in on a little treasure some of the interns and I uncovered in Brooklyn on one of our “adventure” days off!
Enter: Beacon’s Closet. Think a 60s inspired vintage shop with an indie New York feel with a splash of Chanel thrown in. We discovered this thrifty find on our way into the borough, only to be greeted with storm brewing rainclouds. But I must say, maybe the silver lining was the $12.00 authentic Louis Vuitton bangle Claire, the creative intern, snatched up or the next to nothing Rock and Republic jeans outfitting the “sale” rack! Here’s a peek into my new favorite hotspot!
