What to Wear: Corporate Interview

Posted By: KK on 09/30/09 12:15 AM | Categories: What to Wear

We thought we would help take a fraction of the stress out of
interviewing in a corporate environment by helping with what to wear. The
corporate workplace has begun to favor a more ‘smart casual’ dress code, yet classic
office attire is still the way to go – especially when making a first
impression. Let your individuality shine with great accessories such as this roomy tote.  Keep your hair and
make-up simple and your intelligence will make the impact.  Good luck!!

What to Wear: Over the Knee Boots

Posted By: KK on 09/24/09 2:27 AM | Categories: What to Wear

Fall is upon us and tis the season of babes in boots!  We decided to pick our favorite styles to wear this fall.  Ranging from trendy over-the-knee, to short bootie, and even foul-weather wear.  Which boot will you be walking in this season?     


KK: Having done
the jaunty Puss in Boots look once-upon-a-time ago,  I am opting out of
the over-the-knees this season.  Okay, maybe one pair – to wear with
shortish skirt and tights.   My boots go on in October and off in April
so I need all shapes and heel sizes, but none too flat.

Jimmy Choo Iris Stretch Boots ($885), Banana Republic Equestrian Rainboot ($98), Sigerson Morrison Wedge Booties ($675), L.A.M.B. Joelle Boots ($365),  Hunter Vegetable Rain Boots ($68.95), Diane von Furstenberg Rand Boots ($574), Cyntha Vincent Reva Boots ($395) 

[more] 

GB: Liking the over-the-knee look provided the boots are flat.  Especially love them with tucked-in skinny jeans.  Here are my favorite varieties this fall! 

Giuseppe Zanotti Black Over-the-Knee Boots ($975), D&G Wedge Boots
($1,124.80), Navy Suede Boots by Belle by Sigerson Morrison ($499), Chloe Belted Flat Boots ($995), Pedro Garcia Dorice Booties ($495), Tory Burch Duck Boots ($295)
 
 
LG:  I like the boisterous boot trends that are popping up this season which seem to be channeling the 60’s (hello Moonboots!) to the 80’s (Pretty Woman thigh-highs!)  Regardless of over-the-knee to bootie, it is important to keep the top-half of your outfit on the simple-side as these boots can be overpowering.  Being that I am quite tall, I like that there are attractive flats out there.  Here are some styles I will be flitting about this fall!  


See by Chloe ($719), Ash Cuff Boots ($310), Belle by Sigerson Morrison Flat Riding Boot ($495), Delman Darcy Boot ($499), Moonboot ($134), Giuseppe Zanoti Bootie ($699)

LG:  If you’re thinking bout the 80’s it don’t matter if you’re black or white…  Ah what better way to channel my birth era than with shoulder pads, crop tops n’ jumpsuits- these trends can be quite dramatic so really loving the simplicity of black and white!

LG:  Checking out the
Spring 2010 looks I am really drawn to the delicate soft-hued tones
that are showing up.  I would punch up these bare blends with some
chunky jewels- a la Reem Arca… thinking bangles to baubles.  From
Derek Lam’s off-the-shoulder onesie to the dramatic drape of Marchesa’s
ice-blue TDF cocktail gown—yes please!
