Charlotte Giver - fashion events, articles, spontaneous trips, days at my internship

Saturday morning, rain is falling down outside so we thought it would be perfect to do a roadtrip. So, today we are going to Santa Monica followed by Laguna Beach and OC. I will put up some pictures later. Have a wonderful weekend everyone. xxxx

When you leave your house, whether you are going shopping or just out eating...be prepared on that a lot of crazy things might happen. The other day, when going out eating in Beverly Hills we were told that Britney Spears was at the SLS hotel, just next to the restaurant where we were at. I usually don't get too excited when I see celebrities here...but Britney Spears, that is pretty cool! Unfortunately we did not get the chance to see her as the hotel was surrounded by body guards and paparazzis. When returning to our car we met her 5 year stalker aka paparazzi - Filipe Tiexiera who actually follows her everyday! (Sources say they even had a relationship...who knows? It's LA!) Here are some pictures that he showed us.

Last night we went to an event hosted by P Diddy here in Hollywood. I took a video and some pictures so here we go. xxx

Pictures I took last weekend, from the Pacific Highway and Malibu. Don't mind the bad weather! To get here, you have to drive pretty far from where I live (it will take you around 40 minutes without traffic) but once you get here it is so pretty. To me, this is the true California. Last year a stayed in Santa Monica and it was a totally different way of living. With Venice on your left and Malibu to your right, my days were all about going down to the beach, surfing, running along the ocean or going out with my friends in Venice. In other words, totally different from Hollywood. I would love to live here again!

I am over clubs, I am..I really don't see the point. I so much more like to go out to eat, attend events or go to bars such as Chateau or Standard, where you actually can network and create good contacts. Because you do! Whether you are at work (where you assist important people, meet stylists and sometimes talk to editors) travel or meet new friends on your road, I have learnt that it is so important to keep up to date with these contacts. You know what, one day that person you met at that event in New York for example, might just take you straight to where you want to be in your career.

 

*Jag ar sa over klubbar och ser verkligen ingen meningen med det. Jag tycker mycket mer om att ga ut och ata, ga till events eller barer dar du faktiskt kan traffa intressanta manniskor och skapa dig goda kontakter. Vare sig du ar pa jobbet (dar du assisterar viktiga manniskor, moter stylister eller pratar med redaktorer) reser eller traffar nya vanner, sa har jag har lart mig att det ar sa viktigt att checka in och ta vara pa dessa kontakter. For man vet aldrig om just den person du traffade en gang nar du var ute och at i New York kan ta dig direkt till den punkten du vill vara i din karriar.

 

Miss Jay from Americas Next Top Model stopped by the showroom the other week.

I decided to keep a diary. Well not an everyday kind, but of things I do that help me reach my dream of becoming an editor. Things I learn at work, from traveling, networking, meeting new people and going to new places. The best part...you might also learn something from it. I start now!

 

* Jag har bestamt mig for att borja fora en dagbok! Inte den typ av dagbok jag hade nar jag var liten, dar jag berattade om allt jag gjorde varje dag. Jag vill fora en dagbok om saker jag lar mig som kommer ta mig narmare min drom om att en dag jobba pa en tidning. Jag kommer skriva om saker jag lar mig pa jobbet, fran att resa, besoka nya stallen och fran olika intressanta manniskor som jag traffar. Det basta av allt ar...ni kanske ocksa kommer lara er nagonting kul fran det. Jag borjar nu!

View of the Hollywood sign from Griffith Observatory. This is a good place to go hiking, go running or just to spend some time away from the city.
