Visiting Seventeen Magazine

Hey everyone!

This Friday, I was granted the amazing opportunity to visit the headquarters of Seventeen magazine.  Naturally, I jumped at the chance. I walked from Grand Central to the Hearst Tower in New York City for the occasion. The trek was well worth it.

Some of you may wonder: what’s so special about this random kid that she was invited to visit Seventeen's main office. Well, I wasn't invited myself. My sister, Mary Cain, is a runner and (coincidentally) seventeen years old. She'll be attending the World Championships in Moscow later this summer. The lovely people at Seventeen allowed her to bring along guests.

Me and my sisters! You can even kind of see the

 big framed magazine covers in the office.

So, Mary chose our older sister Áine (who is an editor for her college newspaper, the Flat Hat) and me (because I just started this blog and I want to work in the fashion industry) to come with her. When we arrived, we met up with a really nice journalist who interviewed my sister. She showed us around a little. We even saw some of the cool clothes they were going to use for a fashion shoot!

Once the interview was over, the journalist showed us Seventeen's beauty closet. That's where they keep all of their hair and makeup products. She gave us a whole entire box of the O.P.I nail polish in Color #17.

The experience I had visiting Seventeen magazine was amazing. The people were so nice and friendly and I got to spend time with my sisters in the city on a sunny day. Overall, it was a really great learning experience and lots of fun.

Athletic Styling

Hey everybody!

This is my sister Mary!

So, this my sister Mary (Cain) she is a professional runner. This year, she made the World team. Some time in August, she’ll be heading for Moscow. I’m so excited for her! However, this experience may present a fashion dilemma. The American athletes can only wear Nike clothing (it’s the brand that’s sponsoring the team).

Luckily, this is a brand with quality outfits and a great selection. Nike generously sends athletes humungous boxes of free clothes.

Her hair bow

When my sister received the box of clothes, I helped her put together some outfits to wear (even when she’s running around, I want her to look her best).

I also wove her a red white and blue bow (hair bows are sort of her signature look). I had to force her to let me do her makeup. She’s an athlete, so lots of thick mascara and powder aren’t an option. I wanted to go for a light application that she won’t sweat off.

This is what I came up with!

Her makeup was just some BB cream powder and waterproof mascara
