We all want to get that fashion internship of our dreams and hopefully we all will. To have a better likelihood of getting that internship, it is important to network and gain experience. This is obvious to us all. However, today there are so many interesting ways to do this.

Social Media: Believe it not, I got my first internship from Twitter! A designer used her 140 characters to ask for potential interns. I ended up interviewing and landing the position! None of the other interns in the office could believe it. This is why following all of your favorite designers, brands, and companies is extremely important. You never know when they’ll ask for your resume or teach you something valuable!

Virtual Internships: We are all busy at school and cannot intern during the semester. This is when virtual internships are a lifesaver. I’ve personally already had three of these. Most of the time, students act as campus representatives for some company and endorse their product. A lot of fashion brands offer these so keep a look out at InternQueen.com!

Volunteering: It may not sound as fancy as an internship, but it certainly is just as valuable. Volunteering at fashion week is an incredible opportunity. I have volunteered for Charleston Fashion Week (which led to an internship!) as well as Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. You can learn so much from these experiences and it shows other employers that you can handle the extremely fast paced atmosphere.

Also ask stores, designers, photographers, or anyone if they ever need a volunteer. Many times this could lead to an internship or job in the future. I once drove four hours to volunteer with a designer and stylist for the day during a photo shoot. Now they will forever be great networking for me!

Don’t forget to take every opportunity that comes your way! Keep an open eye and you’ll be surprised at what you will find!

This is a guest blog post from our Florida State campus ambassador, Chandra!

Living on a college kids budget is never easy. Neither is saving up for graduation, especially when your plans consist of moving to New York City, which is why I decided to do something about it. Near the end of last year, I had thought of a bracelet design that I thought could be really fun for gamedays. I wore my design to the Florida State vs. Florida game & everyone loved them. I decided that by next fall, I would have them available for sale on my blog, FSU Fashion Girl.

I am SO excited to see this dream finally come true! You can now order your own collegiate gameday bracelet just in time for the first football game of the season. Better yet, this is not closed off to just FSU students. I welcome any & all orders regardless of your school (yes, even you Gators!).  These bracelets are completely customizable, adjustable & made to order. They are $30 each or 2/$50 and will be shipped within 7-10 days.

You can find more information about my bracelets & how to order at http://fsufashiongirl.com/shop. Order now to ensure that your wrists will be gameday ready in time for the first football game of the season!

I would LOVE to hear what you all think about the line. What style is your favorite?

Ever since I walked into the bookstore and picked up a copy of Gabrielle Bernstein’s, Add More -Ing To Your Life, I’ve been a fan. She is inspirational and I truly enjoy reading what she has to say. If you haven’t picked up Gabby’s book, I suggest getting it ASAP.

Being a full time college student, working part-time, and doing an internship can be not only time consuming, but incredibly stressful as well.

Finding time to do something for yourself can be difficult but it is even more important to do something with that time that makes you happy and relaxed.

So what do you do when you’re stressed out from school, work and all other things that take up so much of your time? What about zumba? Or even yoga? I have found these two very different types of exercises to be not only relaxing but amazing for my body as well.

Other than two years of volleyball in high school, I was never really active, and so running a mile for me can be very difficult. I started doing yoga at home because I was bit self-conscious to go to classes and figured that buying a DVD would work for me. Money well spent I would say! The DVD that I purchased is divided into morning and night yoga and it’s for beginners! I feel so relaxed after doing yoga and I also give myself a couple minutes to meditate and prepare myself either for a great day or a restful night.

Zumba on the other hand, is completely different from yoga! Recently, my sister asked if I wanted to go to a class with her and I thought why not? What do I have to lose except a couple of pounds, maybe? So I went with her and it was the best work out ever!

Not only are you constantly moving around, but it is actually fun! The dance moves that you learn you can use outside of the class. Every time my sister and I hear a song that is from our class, we just start dancing, wherever we are. And to those who are a bit self-conscious about dancing in front of a bunch of people, myself included, nobody cares what you look like when you dance. Everyone is there to have a good time, have fun, and tone his or her body. Your booty and legs might hate you for a couple of days if you put your all into it, but it is all worth it in the end.

Whether you’re looking to get rid of your stress by doing yoga or zumba, both will leave you feeling better than before. Also, since exercising releases endorphins, not only will you feel relaxed but you’ll feel happy as well.

What school do you go to and which exercise classes do you attend?
