The denim jacket is back!

                                                              



The denim jacket is back! Now, only in a more unique way! It is all the rage in Hollywood, and the original denim jacket has now been altered! These days, a studded, acid-wash, cropped, cut, hooded, or tie-dyed jacket is very popular. It's like the "denim jacket" had a make-over! I love it paired with a cute floral top or a summer dress!

What to (not) wear on an interview

Job interview coming up? Perfect! Here are some tips one what do to and what NOT to do.
You've spent a lot of time preparing for your interview, and when you look at yourself in the mirror, you're thinking you have the perfect hair, perfect shoes, perfect outfit, great makeup, etc. This may be the case, but you could possibly look so much different to others seeing you..
What you wear to an interview is so important, because no matter what type of personality you have or how intelligent you are, you can't attend an interview wearing dirty clothes with holes in them, too much makeup, revealing clothes... you get my drift!

Your best bet is to wear something that frames your face (A suit jacket, with a collared shirt/blouse underneath) - not low cut. You need to wear something that says, "I'm mature, smart, responsible, and I want this job". The interview is the first impression you get to "wow" an employer, and dressing the part is one of the most important things.

You can never go wrong with black,gray,white,navy,brown. A skirt and jacket would be ideal for a business type interview. This is one situation in which what other's think, matters. Don't ask yourself if you look good, ask yourself if the employer would think you look good for the position you have applied for.

Ideal for a younger women (in her twenties).

There are a wide variety of suits to choose from that would be great to impress an employer during an interview! Alot of them are currently on sale too! (whoo hooo!)

Suits.Shapes.Sizes.

Summer is fast approaching! (You know what that means....) BATHING SUIT SEASON. If any of you are like me, your cringing at the thought of that. Or, your spending your days at the gym! I'm going to share a few tips with you that might make this experience not so bad for you!

First. The secret is, not to get too small, or too big of a suit. Sometimes, you might have to go up a size. Bathing suits fit so much differently than other garments. You don't want the suit squeezing you in the wrong places, but you also can't be running around with one that's sagging on your body!

Look for something that flatters your frame. Ask for a second opinion when you're trying different things on. (Second opinions are very helpful!)

You need to be familiar with the different types of suits that are available..Tankinis- Obviously swim wear that is a tank top fit, that covers most, if not the entire stomache area. Swimwear with skirts - This will give more coverage for the bottom half of the body. Shortinis- a bathing suit that have shorts for the bottom. Lastly, bathing suits with blouson tops or one-piece bathing suits.

Suits that have a larger neckline or V-neck, adds emphasis on other areas and tend to give the body a more slimming effect. (PERFECT!)

If you are plus-size.. go with something cute that has underwire in the top (for support). Perhaps a cute floral or animal print, or a more rich color of suit!

Lastly, bunching fabric, bows, etc can do wonderful things! Don't forget a cute cover-up too!

Happy Weekend! xoxo-

Look Good in the Rain!

It's been raining for DAYS in Columbus, Ohio. It's starting to get everyone in a tired and grouchy mood. I feel like the sun just needs to come out for one day to brighten up some faces! I won't lie, on rainy days like today...I dress in rain boots, yoga pants, a tank, and zip-up! BUT - I started thinking, why dress crappy just because the weather is crappy!? I know so many of you are guilty of being the same way!

A must have for a rainy day!

Thank God for whoever decided to make these cute rain boots. It makes the not-so-great day, a little brighter...
