Nope. Not a post about anything related to romance (harhar). Just a lame play on words to introduce you to a fall wishlist! or random "I feel like showing everyone what I want to buy but can't afford" list!

Before I start, I just want to genuinely apologize for not writing a new post in 10 days. It seems unbearably bizarre, compared to how often I updated over the summer. But, I had a bit of spare time today so I thought I'd do a simple wishlist post, in honor of it being my birthday this Saturday.

Can I get a woowoot?

Let me know down below what you're pining for this week!

Dragonfly Cuff

HOOPLAH. You made it to the end. Yay.

Let me know stuff about your life. Your wishlist must have item. Your favorite fruit. Anything and everything! :)

As summer rolls around, more and more graduates, college students, and high school students are scrambling to look for jobs. While appropriately dressing for the interview is important, first impressions are equally, if not more, crucial.

Going into a store or a company to ask about job opportunities and openings may be the first instance of contact between you and a potential employer. Another instance comes from handing in the application. Sometimes you won't even have a chance to meet them until they contact you for an interview because a growing number of companies are switching to online applications.

I always recommend going to see them in person because they can't see who you are just from an online application.

Dressing nicely, cleanly, and appearing well-groomed will give the employer the impression that you are serious about the job.

Below are some outfits I put together as reference. Depending on the type of job, I don't think it's a bad idea to dress true to your own style but keep in mind that it would be a good idea to maintain a streamlined image.



In order for the employer to remember you (assuming there are many job applicants), wear something (accessory-wise) that sparks interest! This can be a subtle necklace with a unique pendant or a pair of earrings that represent some type of hobby (i.e. anchor studs, studs in the shape of heels) but nothing tacky or childish.

Iron your clothes the night before and polish your shoes! Don't wear too much perfume, as it can offend the other person.

Keep nails clean or painted in a neutral color.

Makeup should also be very natural but bring out your best features.

If you're bringing in an application, make sure the papers are crisp and not wrinkled or smudged.

I also recommend carrying around your resume and a list of references.

My last tip would be to just have confidence in yourself! If you look like you know what you want and what you're doing, the employer will recognize it.


I'm not an expert at how to dress for these kinds of situations but these are just my own personal tips so take it with a grain of salt!


Until then,

Finding cheap designer items can be tough especially because they hardly ever go on sale. I'm sure I'm not the only one who religiously checks websites like Hautelook.com, Ideeli.com, and Gilt.com for those make-ya-wanna-jump-up-in-the-air discounts.

Well, today I was browsing through Hautelook and I came across a necklace by BEN-AMUN. Known as the Riviera Knotted Necklace, the retail price of $170 has been cut down to $89.99! Is it still too pricey? Well, yes. But it is the perfect necklace for the spring: choker style and nautical themed. If you're anything like me, you'll know that these shorter length necklaces have been roaming around for the past few months. Famous bloggers have been sporting them with button up shirts, scoop necks, turtlenecks, denim shirts, and basically anything you can think of!

These rope-like collar necklaces can be found in a variety of places.

Forever21 offers a cheaper option at $12.80 but it's a bit dressier looking. Urban Outfitters (of course) also has their version at a whopping $98. How much you want to spend really depends on what you're looking for because not all necklaces are going to look or feel the same (but you already know that!).

Urban Outfitters a.v. max 3-Row Nautical Necklace $98

Which one would you wear?? Or are you just totally not into the nautical theme anymore?
Leave a comment and let me know! I would love to hear your thoughts.


Until next time,
