Fashionably Yours

- You bet I missed the morning.

Here's the weather.

- Thanks, Dave.

At last I can finally see

there's spring in the air in Seattle.

While there's still a bit of a chill out,

it's looking like today is gonna warm up very nicely,

with a low of 50 and a high of 60 expected by midday.

So leave that winter jacket behind

because we can officially say that season is over.

Ooh!

I don't get it, Zoe.

It's been three years

and I'm still getting used to this weather.

It's sunny, but I'm cold.

Am I layering, not layering?

- Because you're from Scottsdale, Lauren.

Your blood is just thinner. (chuckles)

Are you ready for today?

Some people pick up a penny.

I brought this.

- You did not need to bring in a good luck cookie.

For my review, I hope not.

But for my last shot at moving into editorial, absolutely.

And I brought you guys these.

Huh, we love you.

Yes.

These won't last long.

Everyone around here loves a good cookie.

You're putting way too much pressure on yourself.

It's time Zoe.

I gave myself three years to break in.

And that doesn't include all the time

I spent in New York submitting articles before this,

and so far, (exhales) nothing's been published.

And I'm still stuck in the closet.

A very pretty closet,

managing everything we feature in the magazine,

which is no small task.

You're our fashion librarian!

Thank you.

And it's been great but it's now or never.

And since I got this job and my apartment

after eating my good luck cookie,

I'm just gonna do the same thing again,

then walk in there, and kindly ask

for the creative promotion I deserve.

Great.

It's gonna be great.

Oh.

This isn't good.

Mornin' Paige.

- Someone made coffee on set and now--

Don't worry, it's an easy fix.

I have a duplicate.

Oh, that's not gonna work.

Why not?

- Well, in that very short window

trying to figure out who broke

the no-food-outside-the-kitchen rule,

Michael, who isn't half as level-headed

a stylist as you, Zoe, has decided he would like '80s glam.

Mixed with plaid.

- Which is at least three seasons ago

but coming back, supposedly.

- Which is why he sent his assistant to figure it out.

Oh, don't worry.

We got this.

Come on, girls.

- All right everybody, one, two three.

Thundercats!

That's what I'm talking about.

Okay, everybody great work today.

Shane, I like the way you stayed down, moved your feet.

Thanks, coach.

- All right and everybody, solid swings.

But what are we gonna work on for next week?

Striking out!

Exactly!

Swinging is better than a walk, all right?

I guess if no one

is claiming these, they're mine!

No!

- Hey coach, can we play the running the bases game?

Right now?

- I think Coach Rob might have to go to his other job--

- But, that dedication, right there,

is how we're gonna make it to the league championship so,

Go!

Yeah!

Woo hoo!

- Are you sure you have time for this right now?

- That's why I never over schedule my day, right, Mike?

You never know what's gonna pop up, I mean look at that.

You can't squash that.

Can you believe that used to be us?

Man, that used to be you.

I enjoyed riding the bench.

- No, no, you were better than that.

And you made that bench look really comfortable.

Yes, that's how it was.

And I just wanted to get them as much practice as possible

If we're gonna do Travel League.

Are they?

Did Ethan's dad get back to you about the sponsorship

'cause we can't go without one?

Not yet, but hopefully soon.

Oh, come on, Shane.

What's going on?

Shane, what are you doing?

You're supposed to be over here, playing the game.

You're the one who asked us to do this.

You're already playing tag.

- Did you just eat the cookie that was in that bag?

Yeah.

Oh, sorry, yeah.

This wasn't your cookie, right, I hope?

Yeah.

- I thought all this was communal?

Oh, yeah, well these are.

But that, that had my name on it.

Did it? (chuckles)

(groans) Let me look.

Maybe next time, they'll probably be safer in your office.

- Oh, yeah we keep the food and the fashion separate.

So...

Use a sharpie?

- Yeah, I could have done that, especially today,

but it's usually not an issue.

- Oh, I don't usually work here so

there's more cookies here if you really want?

Yeah.

No, it would have been that cookie or nothing.

That's very specific. (laughs)

- In the future, your snack room is down the hall.

My snack room?

Yes.

For all the models, the snack room would be down the hall.

I bet sometimes they have cookies.

Julia's ready for you.

Who, me?

I think she's talking to me.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, don't wanna take your meeting, too.

Don't do that.

Great.

Bye.

- Well, you've certainly put your time.

A minimum, 50 hour weeks.

Yeah, and I have also been

at all the weekend photo shoots.

So it doesn't leave room for much else.

Well, work is paramount.

That's why everyone's raving about you.

Even the photographers, and they don't rave about anything.

Thank you.

It's really nice to hear.

- And your organizational skills are exceptional.

The closet has never looked better.

- It help coming from a family of accountants.

- Minus your grandmother, of course.

I used to read all of her pieces in McAllister's.

- She just wanted women to feel confident.

She was gonna follow her dreams

despite anyone who told her they were impossible.

- Maybe that's why she inspired so many of us.

So, at this point, I can offer you a 5% raise.

- Thank you, but did you happen to get a chance

to look at the article I wrote?

About handbag trends?

I did, I liked it.

Really?

But I didn't love it.

Oh.

- Lauren, all the pieces you've submitted, they're good.

They really are.

But they're missing that thing.

Thing?

- That strong point of view that really makes a statement.

To be a fashion writer, it's a must-have.

Right, obviously.

Well, I can take another pass at it?

I can push it a little further.

You know I'm a hard worker.

- Normally, I would encourage that

but we haven't made the official announcement yet,

but we're gonna be making some changes.

To the magazine?

- It's no secret the print world is shrinking,

and Seamless has held out for as long as possible.

You're scaling back?

- Going fully digital, which means creating more active,

presentational content, and cutting back on copy.

We're gonna be putting out a memo later today,

but don't worry, nothing's gonna change for you.

- Yeah, I was afraid you were going to say that.

- Let me guess, not what you were hoping for?

- Well, I have loved my time here.

I really have.
