Primark Autumn/ Winter Favs 2012

If you have not guessed it by now: I am a massive Primark fan :) Although I have to say I sometimes go into a Primark and seem to not like anything. Well this fall/winter 2012 I like a lot from the new collection. We see a lot of graphic prints in this new collection that we already spotted with Chanel, Proenze Schouler and Prada. However some of Primark’s collection has also got some Céline and Chloé like stuff with pastel colours like grey, pastelpink, light blue and crème.        

Prints

Also i love the new cosy knits primark have in this year. Really need to buy the creme one featured in this video. Also loving the new jean colours although im quite boring when it comes to wearing bright colours.
I can however imagine me buying that dark navy sheer shirt for a smart day time look, and it will turn into an outfit for evening drinks by pairing them with the metallic print trousers, only £16.00!
The PU sleeve parka, £25.00, is perfect for any music festival and the pleather sleeves give an edgy feel to this classic garment.

Ace the interview

Office/ work clothing 2012

First impressions always count when going for a job interview, audition or business meeting. Here I bring you some hints and tips on how to impress your potential bosses without breaking the bank.

The Dress

Dresses are always one of the top choices to wear to an interview. When it comes to length, always try to go for something that either hits right above or below the knees (you can go longer if you would like), but never go shorter. When it comes to colour, dark neutrals like black, navy, or gray usually work best. If the dress is a basic colour, pair it with fun items like a printed bag or bright shoes to make you stand out from the rest.

The Top 
Tops can be paired with either a smart pair of trousers or a smart pencil skirt. I would however recommend wearing a suit blazer or jacket. This will add more elegance and polish to your appearance.
