Recently, I was on the TODAY Show talking with David Gregory and Ann Hodgman, a 52-year-old "executive intern" at the website wowOwow.com.

Hi everyone. I'm Teresa, the online editorial intern, guest-blogging for Suze. I'm here for my internship in NYC all the way from San Diego, California, where everybody's style is pretty laid-back: Think Abercrombie, Hollister and the occasional ode to LC.

Hi Everyone! This is Suze's intern Christy again. Today is my last day at Glamour so Suze asked me to pick my five favorite moments from my internship this spring. In no particular order, here they are:
