Company Girl: Melissa St.Clair of WESC

Title: Account Executive/Merchandiser

What you generally do all day: Meetings with clients, work with designer on upcoming season mixes, problem solve, problem solve, problem solve.  Then I explore NYC to get inspired for my blog, thefashionblanket.com.

Describe work environment: I work in a showroom — casual atmosphere, big tables, samples everywhere, listening to a shuffle of my iTunes, a rotation of Wild Nothing, Kisses, Atlas Sound, The Drums, Active Child… the list goes on.

My Favorite eBay score is a Sterling Silver all over embossed cuff with a big native eagle on it. It’s super light & I wear it everyday. Questions come up all the time… “Where did you get that dope cuff?!”… “Ebay
girl!”

Company Girl: Whitney Brown

Feature: Co-owner of Valentine-NYC.com and model

What you generally do all day: I spend most days working from my apartment if I’m not producing a shoot for Valentine or at a modeling job. I spend a lot of time using Skype so I can talk to my business partner Paloma, who lives in LA. We’re constantly discussing branding, photography, collaborations, fabric, and production for our next Valentine project. 

Describe work environment: My apartment has amazing energy and lots of space so I never feel too claustrophobic. I am always listening to my Spotify playlist (Musica Bonita), burning my Milly+Wong candle and drinking La Colombe coffee from my French press. At some point I’ll usually have a casting or a lunch meeting (Hampton Chutney or The Butchers Daughter are my favorites for lunch). And if I’m already out I’ll try to get a workout in at Body By Simone or Equinox in Soho (booty lift Wednesdays woot woot!). If it’s a really good day I’ll meet my boyfriend for drinks and dinner at Barrio Chino when he gets off work. Love me some Mexican! Go home, walk the dog, another Skype with Paloma then chill with my man. Life ain’t so bad.

Keep searching Lily! It’ll come back around again on eBay. It always does.
