Reader Request! What to Wear to an Interview

Image
Hi! I've been following your blog now for about a year, and I really love it! I'm getting close to college graduation now, and I am just lucky enough to have landed a super-important interview in NYC. I'm totally clueless as to what I should wear, so I was hoping you might be able to offer some advice. Here's the dirt: - the interview/job is in NYC - it's for a graphic design firm, so I need something artsy yet chic - my current style is a mix of basics, favorite stores are gap, old navy, and j. crew - i want something that stands out, and i'm not afraid of color or prints & i love accessories!! - i'm 5'7, but very curvy (so basically, i'm not a size 4.. more like 14) Thanks so much!! i hope to hear from you!!! - Nervous & Clueless in RI Free Counter The following text will not be seen after you upload your website, please keep it in order to retain your counter functionality online blackjack Hi Ok first of all- good luck on the interview!

Top Spring Looks from Club Monaco

I love Club Monaco- I aint gunna lie. I walk in the store and wish to purchase everything but the cash register. Being jobless for at least the next few months, I choose to drool over their pieces online, avoiding the chaos and drama that would occur should I decide to walk into their store.

BOOK THIS LOOK- Cameron Diaz

Image
You would think that in a world of bright accessories, a purple and a yellow combo may be overdoing it. But for Cameron right now...I don't know if it is because she dated Justin or something, but this seems to work. The bright yellow and purple seem to somehow coexist in harmony...pair that with Hepburn's stripes and dark denim and you are good to go. By the way, in light of me always wanting to keep it simple...this about as far as I will go in terms of mixing colors and patterns...so un-adventurous of me! Book This Look: . Stripe Top Club Monaco $39.00 . Jacket Suzy Shier $25.00 . Jeans RW& Co. $65.00 . Scarf Le Chateau $19.95 . Bangle H&M $7.90 . Necklace La Maison Simmons $20.00 .

BOOK THIS LOOK- Jennifer Lopez

Image
I am aware that I did not give an option of a puff sleeve blouse as per Jennifer's outfit but I felt the short sleeve one was more fitting. I visited Club Monaco who is currently promoting all of their white blouses and I must say that I was impressed with this one. The white on white on gold looks very "socialite lunches with her aunts at the Ritz" don't you think? There is a richness to this look that you can obtain even without having to spend a Hilton's allowance. In any case, it's sharp, it's fresh and don't those butterflies look so darn cute!?

The Little Red Dress

White Here, White Now

Image
White has always been a tricky color. It always looks crisp and clean in the magazines and yet when we buy white, here is what tends to happen: Situation 1: We vow to take care of it, washing it only with other whites. Then reality sets in and due to lack of time or just plain laziness, they end up in the wash with your hot pink underwear or those never before washed dark denim jeans. This then turns your white into either a pale pink, or a light shade of smog. The “formally known as white” top gathers dust in the closet ( we feel too guilty throwing it out, I mean we JUST bought it and have yet to wear it)... Situation 2: We buy cheap white tops and bottoms, figuring "hey it’s cheap, for sure I’ll wear it" (why, oh why, do we lie to ourselves so?) . Then to our amazement, we try them on and realize “oh my” we can see right through the shirt to our belly buttons (not cool). The transparent top is pushed far back into our drawers. Ignorance is Bliss. Situation 3: We buy a whit...

BOOK THIS LOOK- Christina Ricci

*The fit of the jacket at Jacob is a little tight but the color and the shape are striking. With the grey, white and denim combo she has going on, you can pretty much go buckwild with the accessories (patent leather shoes, crazy oversized bangles, or even a detailed bag- just not all at once).

Why Joe Fresh is so Fresh

Image
A s you walk into a Maxi or a Canadian Superstore, browsing the aisles for the regular milk, butter and cheese, the last thing you expect is to land on the perfect pair of bright flats, or the ideal summer bag, or even, what’s this? Ohhhh, pretty printed skirts! That’s exactly how it feels when you walk through a Joe Fresh Style. Joe Fresh Style was founded by Joseph Mimran (the same dude who thought up Club Monaco and Caban). There are so many great things about this "groceretail" store. The prices are extremely affordable (think $14.00 for a 3/4 sleeve tunic), the set-up is uncluttered and actually pleasant. And yes, there are change rooms (unlike other places where you have to assume you are a medium). The staff is quite helpful and friendly. The merchandising makes you want to buy EVERYTHING (I need a cash register in my kitchen right?) On top of all this: It is Canadian! The Joe Fresh area is divided in sections such as womenswear, menswear, sleepwear, loungewear and la...

HOT FOR SCARVES

Image
I live in the cold. It is winter here from October to May. I hate the cold. I was born on an island and the very concept of not being able to wear open toe shoes in November makes me slightly uneasy. But there is this one itty bitty asp ect of winter dressing that makes it somewhat bearable: scarves. Love them and can’t get enough of them. Early on, I realized that a) outside in February without a scarf pretty much meant you were spending the rest of the week at home, watching the Price is Right and Days of Our Lives, eating chicken soup and b) scarves looked good. And I don’t mean the same way you try to justify that the big chunky yet warm boots are cool in a rocker chic kind of way. Scarves look fly even when you’ve taken your coat off. They look effortless. Leaving a scarf on with your regular outfit punches it up. In any case, I have them in all shapes, sizes and color. I am thrilled to see this year, an emergence in the trend. Granted the forever stylish Hermes scarf will… um…fo...

THE TRENCH COAT

Image
Sherlock Holmes was one cool guy. He would walk around the dim streets of London with his sid ekick, Watson, and his magnifying glass and find clues. The clues led him to solve some crazy mysteries. But you know what made him cooler than his wit and intelligence? His trench coat . Oh yes, the young chap looked mighty sharp in the beig e rendition of what I call Spring 2007’s “You Need It More Than It Needs You” jacket. Do you realize how crucial a trench coat is to your coolness this season? :P Do you really? It is the jean jacket of 1998 . Yes, the one we wore with the matching jeans to look like Madonna in Ray of Light . That one. Ok, now that you have grasped the necessity of the t rench, here is where you can get it.
