Internship Style

April 30, 2013


Greetings Fashoinistos/as! As summer slowly creeps up on us, so does internship season. If you haven’t started applying for every internship under the sun, then now is the time. First things first though, you’ll want to make a great impression. Dressing for interviews can be tricky if you aren’t aware of all the rules. This week’s Fashoinisto teaches just how to stay on track to land that perfect internship position.


When dressing for an interview, you never want to go overboard. Fashion is an amazing outlet but should be used carefully when trying to make a professional statement. For you boys out there trying to climb up the social ladder, try placing a fitted v-neck sweater over a button down shirt. If you’re a fan of color, it’s okay to introduce it into one area of your outfit but don’t go crazy with it. Craving Color? Tie up this teal beauty from Express.


Business men from all over are becoming more and more fashion savvy these days. Fall into their footsteps with a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo penny loafers. Shine them up bright and your first impression is on it’s way to a success. Lastly, suit pants come in a wide variety of sizes and styles. I’m finding the slimmer fit pants very flattering Fashionisto’s and also a great statement maker. You’ll definitely want to try the Photographer Suit Pant by Express here.


hint: Make a lasting impression this week and dress yourself up for success. Not only will you exude confidence in your new look but you’ll also be giving your potential employer one more reason to want to hire you. Pair a light knit sweater over a button down shirt and tie. Slip on a slim fitting pant with a shiny pair of penny loafers. To take your internship style to the next level, place your precious resume in a briefcase. Burberry has the perfect one for you here. Good luck Fashionisto’s and remember, your first impression, is always your last one.

Style On,
Alicia Gonzalez

Outfit Post: Reviving The Victorian Era

April 11, 2013

Ciao fashion lovers! I hope that your week is going great and very fashionable! Today's outfit post is one of my favorites because I love taking old pieces of clothing from my wardrobe and reviving them. The lace floral top that I am wearing I have owned for over 10 years. I almost got rid of it a few months ago but something was telling me to hold on to it and now I know why. My everyday wardrobe consists of wearing comfortable clothing but with an edge. So, this week my goal was to accomplish a "dressy" look without being uncomfortable. After all, I'm a student who sits in a classroom all day who doesn't want to be annoyed by what she's wearing. It is possible to have style without all the hassle. Do you like my take on my old top?

xoxo,
Alicia G.

My hubby, daughter and I went on a mini vacation to Jacksonville, FL over spring break. We stayed right on the water and the view was amazing. It was just what I needed to get re-energized for my next quarter of school and it was a fashion bloggers dream. I'm pretty Forever 21 crazed right now because their prices can't be beat and their clothes are very trendy/stylish. Fast fashion is definitely taking over my wardrobe this spring. Enjoy the photos!
