What to wear to an interview

I have been job hunting for a few months now and continually need a new interview outfit each time I go to one. I don't have a particular outfit for an interview but since they are for media companies, I am dressing in a smart/casual style.

Today I had an interview with a big media/entertainment company for an editorial internship. Before the formal interview took place, all candidates were introduced to the company by the HR department and we were shown a series of videos about the brand and what the internship programme is like. I have to say those clips got me all excited about potentially working there. Eek!

Being in the same room as people who are fighting for the same job as you was different but at the same time it's good to meet others who just want the same break as you. Best of luck to us all.

Anyway so here is what I wore:

Shirt - New Look £16.99
Jeggings - H&M really old
Boots - Topshop a couple seasons ago
Bag - Not in stores

During my last New Look haul I picked up a long-sleeved polka dot shirt that I thought would be perfect for the meeting. It buttons up all the way to the neck and has fastenings on the sleeves too but I chose to roll them up. I teamed the shirt with dark denim jeggings from H&M and some black Topshop boots.

When no one else is around to take my pic a mirror image will do ;-)

I thought the polka dot button down shirt was a great blend between trendy and smart. While my dark denim jeggings were a good option for a casual laid back style.

I had to bring an iPad with my so I took my new bag out. It's a black tote with studded detail. I got it from my aunt who buys tons of bags from a wholesaler and sells them on.

It can be worn three ways, one by the short handle, on the shoulder using the strap I attached which is like a chain and the other is longer so the bag can be worn across the body. Finally I had to wear some boots because it's still too cold to wear flats :-( booo. Bring on spring already!

What is your interview/meeting style like?

Birthday outfit post

On Monday it was my 24th birthday!!! I had a really lovely day with my family and received some sweet well wishes from friends.

In the afternoon I went to Frankie & Benny's to have lunch with my sis and niece and then had to dash home to get ready for dinner with the rest of the family.

My brother booked us a table at the Dover Street Restaurant in Mayfair for dinner. I'll do another post on that so you read a bit about what it was like.


I haven't done an outfit post in forever so I thought this special occasion would be a good time to share my latest style with you. Last week I bought a new aztec-style printed vest top from New Look using the rest of my gift card. I have previously purchased two tops in the same style, they are great to wear dressed up or down and are perfect for holidays. 


Yesterday's weather was typical for the UK with sun, rain and clouds all making an appearance. In great timing it poured down with rain as we left for the restaurant, so I paired my aztec top with black skinny trousers from River Island and my new Primark heels plus a massive envelope clutch which carried all my necessities.

Top - New Look £14.99
Trousers - River Island £30
Shoes - Primark £12
Clutch - Primark £8

Black stud strap wedge hi-tops

I went to the New Look SS13 press day back in November and was given a gift card in a goody bag. Can you believe up until now I hadn’t spent it?! I’m really good at resisting a shopping splurge but caved last week when I wondered onto the New Look site.


I came across these all black wedge hi tops, I’ve been a fan of this style of trainer hybrid for a while but never felt I could pull them off because A. I’ve got skinny ankles and B. I don’t think they look cute on any woman with feet larger than a UK 4.

Despite all my hesitations I purchased them. I like this pair from New Look because they are all black from toe to heel and reasonable in price at £27.99 which means I can buy some other things with my gift card.

There are a lot of high street versions of the wedge hi-top available right now, so if all goes well with this pair I’ll invest in another pair.

What do you think of New Look’s Wedge Hi-Tops?
