The navigational shopping site makes shopping trips stress-free by finding the stores you would be most interested in. I LOVVVVEE TEXAS. The main reason I love living in Texas = no real winter! Yes, it gets cold for a few days, just long enough to bust out my favorite coats and boots, but then it is back to warm temps. This time of year is perfect because its cool in the mornings, but warm in the afternoons. This allows for my favorite fashion combo: sweaters and sandals. When I lived in Boston/NYC, I hated the winters. The snow was pretty for a few days, but the appeal wore off quickly. The thing that annoyed me most about winters Well folks, I am sure you have heard the devastating news: Conde Nast (publisher of Vogue, Glamour, GQ, etc.) is ending their internship program at the end of the year. After a handful of lawsuits filed by ex-interns over violations of minimum wage and overtime laws, the company has just decided to not have interns anymore. Here is the full article on WWD. To me, this seems like an extremely drastic move. The fashion industry can’t survive without interns!! They do all the grunt work that everyone else is to glamorous to do. The end of internships Ok for anyone that knows me, I get obsessed with things really easily. Most of the time, I get obsessed with really stupid things that no one cares about. Case and point this new sweatshirt dress that I bought at Old Navy over the weekend. I can’t stop talking about it because it is the most perfect specimen of clothing. It feels like you are wearing your favorite over-sized, worn-in sweatshirt only it looks like a normal dress, so it is socially acceptable to wear to work. I wore it meet with a potential new client yesterday. I keep promising more fashion posts, and then it basically doesn’t happen. Why doesn’t it happen? 1) I was not born to be a model. I had a very short lived, awkward career trying to break into the world of “plus size” modeling (definitely a story for another time). I hate poising and I laugh when people take my pic. Yeah, thank god I am good at PR because my modeling career would have never worked out. 2) I love fashion, but I hate getting dressed. I have been this way my whole life…I would much rather get that extra
I swear, dressing for interviews is always a stressful situation. Since Nicole Confession: I’m not a Gen Y girl. I’m knocking on the door of 40. I remember the day MTV went live in our house and walking to my television to change the channel. Gen X all the way. Not to worry. I’m not a Gen X hater of the so-called entitled younger generation. In fact, I know some fabulous Gen Y women and I have a lot of admiration for you ladies. I may even be a wee bit jealous. You have the opportunity to learn from those who came before you in a way like we never did. All I am spending the next few days in the Windy City, which is exciting for a few reasons: I am meeting with a handful of new PR firms to see if we can work together in the future. I have flown through the Chicago airport a million times, but I have never actually spent any time in the city. It is kinda cold there (well, cold relative to Texas), so I am finally getting to preview my Fall wardrobe! These mini vacays are the best part of my job because they keep my life exciting, and I love meeting new I have a lot of old (and often oversized) t-shirts that I hold on to from school, community events and my husband outgrowing (or shrinking) his Old Navy t-shirts. I keep them with the hope that I can turn them into a more wearable item for myself at some point. This summer I decided to take the common DIY racerback tee and add some length to it to have a casual dress to take with me to the beach. It was the perfect piece to bring to the beach, so before I returned to my burning hot state of Texas Hello! I hope everyone is having a fabulous week! This seems to be a common theme in my life: everything takes a little bit longer than I originally anticipate. I have learned to just accept it and embrace the mantra, “better late than never”. Since I started my blog, I have been wanting to incorporate a column called, “Workin’ Girl Wardrobe”, where we take a peek into the closets of bad ass career ladies to see what they are wearing to work. Getting dressed for work can be challenging. You want to look professional without being stuffy. And most importantly, |
