Interview in the Big City

Mar 05, 2009 @ 7:59pm

devil wears prada outfit way too much in my opinion.jpgSo I have a few interviews with companies in the fashion industry next weekend, and I'm having a really hard time finding something to wear.

I need to look professional, yet young, trendy, and fashion foward.

Most of all, I want to look special!

Any suggestions?

roman holiday still shot.jpgI am going to be visiting Rome this coming April and wanted tips on any good vintage stores I should check out while I am there.

I would also like to know about any reasonable place that makes custom made shoes, too.

Thanks, everyone!

Is Topshop Worth It?

Mar 03, 2009 @ 3:05pm

checked topshop sundress.jpgI'm on a hunt for cute (but not cutesy) mini dresses for spring and summer, and the only place that seems to have what I'm looking for at a halfway decent price is Topshop.

But the way the dresses are displayed on the website just makes them look cheap and ill-fitting. I won't be able to make it to the new Topshop store in New York until fall, so I want to know if any of you think $80 is worth it for a little cotton dress?

Is the quality worth it, or am I better off at Forever 21?

Thanks!

Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place...

Jan 06, 2009 @ 1:29am

rachel zoe the stylist.jpgSo I live in the Dallas area (I attend college here) and I am majoring in Fashion Merchandising.

I want to be a stylist after I graduate in May, but I don't know where to start. I know Rachel Zoe worked at Jane magazine for a while, so should I be looking for a magazine job? Should I go with a designer? I just don't know!

I am wanting to move to NY or LA (no more Dallas, please) so I can have more opportunities. Any advice you may have would be great!

Clueless with a Dream Internship

Jan 05, 2009 @ 9:38pm

harpers bazaar cover.jpgSo I was just offered an amazing opportunity to intern at a Hearst Publication for the spring.

I'm so excited, but terrified about what to wear! I feel I'm too young to wear business suits and would just look silly in anything too 'done up' because I'm just a student intern.

What should I wear? Are flats unacceptable? Think J.crew, Gap, etc. budget. Any advice or help is welcomed and would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much in advance!

Nov 06, 2008 @ 11:19am

fall 08 couture look from lacroix.jpgWriting a dissertation on the current status of couture and what might happen next season after this financial recession.

So, was hoping for your opinions on the Fall 08 collections, please! Questions:

Did they influence or inspire you?

Do you look at the Couture collections each season?

What is your opinion on Haute Couture?

Is Haute Couture still necessary?

Why is Haute Couture important?

Has Couture gone stale or is it still exciting?

How do you think the couture collections will be affected by the current financial recession?

Thank you for helping!

Prepping Dark Jeans

Sep 30, 2008 @ 10:04am

black jeans.jpgHi,

I just bought a gorgeous pair of super-dark jeans that I am loving.

Unfortunately, even though I have washed them five times, the color continues to come off on everything they touch.

I am now limited to wearing them with dark tops and black bags to prevent ruining any of my other clothing.

Any suggestions on how to prevent this?

Thanks!
