How to Pitch and Get Published, According to a Magazine Editor
I thought I’d share this photo today because it’s been three years since it was taken. On April 21, 2016 @melissagiannini called me and offered me my dream job at Nylon and my face in this photo says it all. I had spent my whole college career interning at magazines from Marie Claire to New York Magazine hoping for this exact moment to materialize, knowing that jobs were few and far between (yes, even in 2016) and that only a combination of persistent networking, good luck, and of course a solid work ethic would land me on a masthead. - A lot has changed since then, but I will always be grateful for the late nights spent in our SoHo office trying to close issues, snapping outfit photos on my lunch break, the opportunity to tell some amazing stories, the hardworking staff who made me the writer I am today, and of course, the way I felt when I got this phone call. Things change, but reliving these memories keeps the spirit of Nylon print alive and makes me confident that I was meant to work there for a reason to end up where I am now. 📸 @ignanorell
Big fan of bright outfits on overcast days 😇🌈 #subwaybyausten 📸 @karyaschanilec
This week got me like 😴 who’s with me?? I am v ready for some weekend downtime coming off of this busy (but fun!) week 😇 📸 @thebrightestbrunette
#ad As a writer and editor, one of my favorite parts of my job is getting to share other people’s stories. Every one of us has something unique to offer the world and I love learning how someone I admire got to where they are today. That’s why I’m partnering with the @nytimes to spread the word about their live event series, Get With The Times.✨This series pairs the publication's top journalists with famous figures to share their stories and answer questions live for college students. If the event isn’t on your campus, the event will be live streamed on Twitter and broadcast to watch parties on other campuses across the country to make sure you don’t miss out on the action. 🙌🏻TONIGHT Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit (the third largest website in the US, nbd) and author of the bestselling book Without Their Permission, will be sharing what it takes to build a business with a focus on technology innovation. Tune in tonight at 7PM EST for the event! #nytgetwiththetimes #InfluenceHerCollective 📸 @norepeatsorhesitations
Really excited for more no jacket days ahead 🌤💕 also our couch comes tomorrow and I feel like it will change my whole life
Spotted: Queen B getting ready for spring ✨🌸 that’s right! My new YouTube video is now live and I’m sharing my take on the style of some of my favorite ladies from #GossipGirl (and Vanessa, ugh). Head to my channel for some style inspiration for spring and to see outfits inspired by Serena, Blair, and more! 📸 @jalch11
Basically killing time until Game of Thrones returns tonight! 🐉👑 I have soooo many fun things coming up I can’t wait to share with you all! Including tomorrow’s YouTube video 🎬 and a project that will be a first for me! 😍 what else would you like to see from me? 📸 @karyaschanilec
Sunny Saturday’s in the new hood 😍🎉🏙
Fragrance is extremely personal and I’ve always struggled to find an exact scent that I’m obsessed with. If you feel the same, let me introduce you to @olfactorynyc 🌈 they invited me in this week to design a custom fragrance (which you can actually BUY on their website!) where I took one of their signature fragrances, Ashton, and added unique accords of grapefruit and pink pepper to make a scent that’s as sassy and feminine and playful as me 😍💁🏼‍♀️ oh and if you do pop into their v Instagrammable Mott Street studio or click on their site use the code Austen20 for 20% off your order! Have a great weekend guys 😘
