Dress For Success

“To build a positive first impression, it’s better to air on the conservative side. You don’t want to wear something that you’d leave with the interviewers … that all they remember is that tattoo or nose ring.”
– Kelly Van Aken, recruiting director for Aerotek
According to Wikipedia, “business casual is a kind of middle ground between formal business wear and street wear.” That’s the reason we picture business casual as a mixture of business pieces with trendy everyday items. Even though every workplace is different, a rule of thumb is to stay away from denim, neon colors and sheer or shiny materials. Stay away from spaghetti straps, plunging v- necks,  ruffles and above the knee fashions. It is recommended to wear closed-toe shoes. Makeup should be kept neutral. It’s best to steer clear of false eyelashes, chunky mascara and ultra shiny lip gloss. Keep hair clean and avoid excessive products.
It is easy to look professional and stylish even in a conservative work environment.

Lip Tattoos

A 2011 strange trend have been the temporary lip tattoos. Violent Lips offers a variety of designs  from pink leopard to red glitter. These natural and vitamin enhanced lip tattoos are FDA approved and can be easily removed with mineral or baby oil and a textured wipe. However, are they as easy to apply as stated on the website and do they last for hours? Below, Judy gives us her first impression of Violent Lips.

Jessica Simpson Launches New Line

“I believe that beauty is something that only you can find for yourself,” -Jessica Simpson has said.

Jessica Simpson launched a  new beauty online destination that sells anti-aging skincare.  The singer teamed up with celebrity aesthetician Nerida Joy to create BeautyMint (http://www.beautymint.com). The website follows the same retail model as sister sites JewelMint (Kate Bosworth’s jewelry site) and StyleMint (the Olsens’ T-shirt line) in which users take a beauty quiz upon signing up, and the answers determine which fixed-price products they’re offered each month. For $39.99 a month, users get a new anti-aging product every time.

JewelMint (http://www.jewelmint.com) has been a big hit. The site gauges your style and offers personalized selections of jewelry to choose from for $29.99/month. If you decide to skip a month, you can do so at no charge.

StyleMint (http://www.stylemint.com) includes unique T-shirts designed by Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen. A new T design is released each month and users can receive it one for $29.99/month. It also provides no obligation to buy and free shipping.

It makes you wonder who the next celebrity to team up with a designer will be and what product will be offered for a monthly fee.

Get Your FUR On

Celebrity or not, everyone is getting their fur on. Faux fur has made a come back in a big way. Whether it’s trim on a hood or a full-on vest, fur is everywhere this fall. A neutral color such as beige, gray, or black can last season after season and can become a wardrobe essential.

Leather Accents

Fall’s all about sophisticated staples in luxe leather. What the cardigan represented in 2010, the little leather jacket represents in 2011. A leather jacket can be worn so many different ways. You can layer up a leather jacket, you can put a coat over it or you can wear it with an oversized scarf. Leather is also incorporated in small dozes this fall accenting every piece. We are seeing leather shawl collars and leather trim. A combination of fabric and leather is seen in dresses and skinny pants. Another popular item this season are leather shorts. They’re perfect for a fall transition and look equally as good with bare legs or tights. Let’s not forget about leather jewelry. The leather cuffs are even seen on the red carpet. Be fashionable this fall and don’t only rely on your shoes, bags and belts for that leather staple.

Below Hayden Panettiere is seen in a leather Bomber jacket from Express. Rachel Bilson is wearing Chanel leather shorts. Kim Kardashian looks sexy in a LAMB leather mix dress. Emma Watson wears a similar bracelet to a Juicy Couture riveted leather cuff.
