What Working at 'Vogue' is Really Like: An Instagram Diary

If there's one thing we can all probably assume about working at Vogue, it's that it's anything but normal. A run-in with Anna Wintour is never exactly out of the question; you're surrounded by some of the world's most beautiful clothing; and a stream of celebrities are constantly making their way in and out. 

But you know what they say about assuming—so we made it our mission to hunt down Instagram snaps from some of Vogue and Vogue.com's staffers, to get a peek into what their work lives are really like. We found more normalcy than expected, but, of course, not without a dash of fabulousness here and there.

Click through the gallery below to see an Instagram diary of what it's really like to work inside the hallowed halls of Vogue!
