David Koma for Topshop...



We all sat up and took notice of David Koma last year when the beautiful Beyonce wore one of his dresses quickly followed on XFactor by Cheryl Cole. Well, Topshop on the button as usual, are launching a collection with him. There is major confusion around the release dates. It went into stores last week, many different dates for its online release have been published. Low and behold, three pieces popped up on the website today. Prices for this collection are STEEP. There are only 30 pieces of each piece available and prices range from £100 (for a belt) - £350 (amazing backless dress). As usual the only piece I like is the £350 dress. Damn you expensive taste

Kurt Geiger S/S11

I don't know if many of you know this but Kurt Geiger has opened a boutique in Dublin Airport's new Terminal, T2. This is a pic of it and doesn't it look nice! It is the first shoe boutique to open in Dublin airport and I have to say I love that it is one of my favourite footwear brands! I have to admit I am a little bit jealous of the girls who work there, it is a brand I would love to work for. Imagine getting to look at their shoes all day! So I had a little trawl through their website for you guys (not exactly a chore for me) and I picked out my fave shoes from their S/S 11 collection, which are currently online. I am loving the 70's vibe of their shoes, a look I will definitely be working this season. Which ones are your fave?? Kurt Geiger can also be found in Debenhams, Brown Thomas stores and Dundrum.

What to Wear to an Interview....

For those job hunters lucky enough to get called to interview it can be an absolute crisis trying to find something to wear. Below is a little Polyvore that I done up of pieces and outfits that I would wear to an interview. Obviously it depends on which industry you are going into, if I was going for a business interview and I wanted to be taken seriously I would wear a suit. But if I was going for a fashion industry interview I think it is okay to let your general style and personality come across. Dress the same way as you would dress every day at work.

Sometimes it is just easier (and less stressful) to pick a dress, but there are some rules to bear in mind. Rule number 1 being, nothing above your knee. Sitting on top of your knee is fine but girls mid thigh is just not a good daytime look! Number 2, I would go for a no cleavage approach and would probably wear 3/4 length sleeves too. Really this is just to keep it professional.
When it comes to shoes DO NOT wear open toe shoes. Closed toe are the only ones you should be wearing. Do not be tempted to wear your highest heels. A simple court shoe or ankle boot will generally suffice. If you normally wear flats then wear flats! I like these floral heels though because they do add a bit of personality to your outfit (fashion jobs only!).
I think it is okay to wear a fitted denim or check shirt to an interview, if you have a beautiful peachy well fitting blazer to go over 'em. Pair em up with black skinny trousers or some skinny cargo trousers and you have a cute, professional on-trend interview look!
