The Office

19 May

Things a girl must know when there is a casual dress code at the office.

There are two sides to every coin, I could be working at a very conservative firm who requires business suits every day. But fortunately, that’s not the case. My work environment is casual and I was told I can wear almost anything I want, including jeans. This is also problematic because how do I know what is appropriate and what is “too casual?” SoI wanted to impart my wisdom on what I’ve seen other women wear and add in my own opinion.

  1. Black is always a safe bet for a bottom, be it a skirt or pant.
  2. Wedges are a must.  If you don’t wear them to the office, bring them to change into. No shame in that.
  3. Colored pants are ok. I’m talking red, blue, mint, etc. Embrace the trend.
  4. Don’t draw attention to yourself with an over-the-top outfit. You’ll only feel embarrassed.
  5. There is going to be people at your office who dress very well, and there are going to be people who dress very bad. Stick to your own style and you’ll be fine.

Just some examples of what I was talking about. I’ll definitely keep adding tips and insight to the list. After all, you learn something new about fashion every day, especially at the office.

Every Girl Should Own a Pair

28 Apr

Hi everyone, I’m sorry I’ve been a bit MIA this week. I had an insanely busy schedule dealing with interviews and such, but I’m happy to say I am finally employed! I’m going to be working for a large branding firm in NYC, any advertising girl’s dream. Ever since I’ve graduated university I told myself that with my first paycheck (or probably 2) I am going to buy a pair of Louboutins. I’ve been eyeing this pair since I can remember and for the first time I can see that they’re within my reach. My goal was to get them when I was 21, it was a personal thing, but I’ll take them now: Hey, I’m not even 22 1/2 yet! This is so petty but my biggest decision will be where I purchase them from: Saks, Barneys. Bergdorfs, or the Louboutin store. Decisions, decisions.

NYC Night Life

20 Apr

A couple of weeks ago I posted about my outfit for the club that I ultimately didn’t get in to. Last night, the impossible was made possible: we got in the club! The place was amazing, my friends and I had such a good time. The views, music, and atmosphere were priceless. As promised, I have a photo of what I wore. I finally got to put my hot pink Barbie-like blazer to use –and got a few compliments on it too!

I’m wearing an H&M blazer, Zara black cami, Zara black legging/pants, gold chains from Topshop, hot pink nail polish from Urban Outfitters, gold Marc Jacobs earrings, gold Casio watch from American Apparel, and black H&M wedges.

Ted Baker

18 Apr

Ted Baker is one of my favorite designers right now. I first took note of the brand 2 years ago when I saw the line in Selfridges, a department store in London. I fell in love with the ultra-feminine prints, silhouettes, and overall design. Recently Ted Baker has been given shops in Bloomingdales, in addition to having a few stores in the New York City area. They are set to open a flagship store on 5th Avenue in the Spring/Summer 2012. I wanted to share a few of my favorite pieces from the designer.

Birchbox X Gossip Girl

17 Apr

Although details are still on the down-low, Birchbox is teaming up with Gossip Girl to create a Blair and Serena inspired box of products. Birchbox is a monthly subscription which sends its members a cute box full of sample size beauty items. I’ll admit it, I still love and live for my Monday night Gossip Girl. Blair, Chuck, Serena, I can’t get enough. What’s better than GG inspired make-up and hair products? Nothing, in my opinion. The Gossip Girl Birchbox is to be sent out for May, so subscribe before it’s too late!
