Dearest BusiChic, I have a confession to make: I’m burnt out.         It’s my own fault really – with working a full-time job, running a daily blog and spending quality time with loved ones – all things that I love but are taking its toll. Which is where you come in. I [...]

The “Smart Casual” dresscode otherwise known as “Business Casual” can be a minefield. Some interpret that “Casual Fridays” means that it’s ok to wear faded weekend wear and tshirts with loud slogans in the office. If you’re trying to make a professional impression, might I suggest taking some cues from today’s BusiChic? Adam is wearing [...]

Is it just me or does it always tend to start raining just as you head out the door to work or on your way home after a long day on the job? Even worse, why does it always seem to rain on the Friday afternoon, leading into a weekend? Today’s Smart Casual and Creative [...]

Going to a conference that doesn’t have a dress code ao you are allowed to wear, anything? Sometimes this laissez-faire policy can be daunting.
