Who's That Girl.....

Kim Sears

Like most people I am totally enthralled in Wimbledon and was so disappointed to see Andy Murray lose on Friday. Maybe for different reasons to most, I have a total girl crush on his girlfriend Kim Sears. She has that totally natural but polished look down to a tee. Her glossy hair is perfectly blowdryed for every game, her make up is light and she has that gorgeous honey hued tan that gives her that lovely outdoorsy glow. She is perfectly polished, even her outfits look carefree. I love her use of casual basics, blazers, shirts, straight jeans and ballet pumps to build her stylish Wimbledon outfits. And she can rock a pair of aviators! I love her Sloaney look. I think this is the year of the Sloaney, with the Middleton sisters rocking the look too. It might finally be the end of the Kate Moss, just rolled out of bed and haven't brushed my hair in a week look. Thank God!

I Could Have Spread my Wings and Done a Thousand Things I've Never Done Before...

Did we all have a nice weekend?? I had such a fun/lazy one. I got to enjoy the brilliant Ireland v England rugby on Saturday. Yesterday was the purr-fect Sunday. Starting out with a yummy late french toast brekkie at a cute little restaurant and a long walk on the beach, followed by watching My Fair Lady and a trip to the cinema last night to finally see the brilliant The Kings Speech.

Anyhu here is a cute little post on the beautiful Dree Hemingway. I love her, she is so natural and fun loving. There is something so bewitching about her.

Topshop Post....

Loving this new stuff from Topshop. I love planning my new season wardrobe and I can see some of these being S/S basics...

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!

Obsession du Jour...

Loving this Valentines offering from Moet et Chandon. It contains a pretty pink bottle of yummy Moet Rose NV, two champers glasses and a gold pen so you can scribble sweet nothings on your other halfs glass! How sweet! :)
