Got a summer fling and hope it sticks? Read on.

Want to spice things up without breaking too much of a sweat? Go Indian.

Indian clothing is beautiful, light-weight and easy to wear during those hot, sweltering days. Plus, work-appropriate!

Enjoy your little piece of India! =)

Want to show your rockin' bikini bod at work?

There are work-appropriate ways to do it.

For example, as seen to the picture on the left, you can wear fit forming lasagna-strapped tank top, which will show off all your curves.

Pair it with some dress capris, and you're good to go! =)

Yay or Nay: Short hair on a woman?

Emma Watson rocks her pixie look

 Many people may say "Nay" to the short hairstyle, but I am here to tell you: YAY!!!

If you can pull it off, go for it girl! If guys can have long hair now, girls can have short hair.

Keira Knightley also rockin' her 'do here.

So, follow in the footsteps of Halle Berry and Winona Ryder. I give you my blessing. ;-)

At work: Blouse + dress pants (or jeans) (or skirt) = timeless, classy, and professional.

A blouse is ALWAYS work appropriate. Always, always, ALWAYS. You can even go a bit crazy with the colours, make your outfit really POP!

Depending on your type of work, you can either wear jeans, dress pants, or even a skirt (just make sure they're in a neutral colour!).

In a male-majority job and want to stand out as a woman? Do it through fashion. (Part 2)

This time, I will talk about the make-up - that is, how much of it you wear.

Don't go over-excessive, Gaga-esque with your make-up, as seen opposite (Photo credit: Ottawa Metro News).

When it comes to work make-up, unless you work as a cosmetician or some other job that requires the heavy make-up, keep it to the KISS code, that is: Keep It Simple Stupid.

A little eye-shadow, some mascara and some concealer to cover up the bruise-coloured bags under your eyes, maybe a little lipgloss, and you're good to go! Keep it natural. That's when your true beauty shines and when people will start taking you a little more seriously then before. (See below for a low-key look).

Try to find unique pieces...

Try to find unique pieces, either in outfits or accessories for your work attire.

This necklace, for example, is perfect for dressing up even a simple polo shirt, and is sure to draw a lot of compliments.                                                                     

The dress to the right here is another unique piece, from Terra Nostra's new fall 2011 collection, that is fun, flirty, quirky, yet can be worn in certain offices or worn out to a work party!

     

This outfit to the left, again from Terra Nostra's collection, is fun, flirty, simple, and yet totally professional for any office space. The colourful flip-flops add a nice punch to the whole outfit (though I don't recommend that footwork for work!!!).

So, don't be afraid to wear unique things to the office space, as long as they're no too over-the-top...
