It should come as no surprise that I work in the fashion industry. I have been a Designer, a Merchandiser and currently I am a Fashion Scout (dream job!). I actually get paid to shop the wholesale market for big stores that do not shop the LA market on a regular basis. I am their “eyes and ears.” I report on new resources, vendor updates, hot items, newest trends, anything that is fashion news worthy. I guess that I too am somewhat of a blogger, just with a limited audience. I get nothing free for writing up lines and know a best seller (and a mark-down) when I see one.
