One job at a time, Christie Lohr is doing her part in trying to match up talent to available jobs in both the fashion and beauty industries. Here’s a little bit on her:

Who: Founder of Style Nine to Five and Beauty Nine to Five.

What you do?: I created a fashion career website for Canada, Style Nine to Five and recently launched a beauty career website for Canada, Beauty

Nine to Five. Each day, I help companies find employees and open doors for job seekers. I also have a fabulous writing team for both website blogs where they keep you up to date on what’s hot in fashion and beauty. You also might just see me on TV (CTV Morning Live, Urban Rush) chatting on fashion trends.

Where are your favorite spots?: Deep Cove, at the top of Grouse Grind after hiking, Tofino, a little local restaurant in Cinque Terre, an area of 4 small towns along the coast on the Italian Riviera where I had the best fresh pesto, shopping in Soho, Les Faux Bourgeois on Fraser, patios in Montreal, the seawall at False Creek and the back waiting area at Vij’s Restaurant.

Trends FOR you and NOT for you: FOR me - All white. Looks like we’ll be seeing that into the fall too, anything with spikes, coloured and printed pants, colour blocking, the collar necklace, arm parties, ombre hair and coral lips. NOT for me - Hmmmmm, I like to give everything a go, but I can’t seem to get the peplum dress or skirt to work on me, and I dislike any form of the clog and too many sequins.

What are some of your favorite things?: Hiking, working out,  my family, my team at Nine to Five, a sheepskin rug at the foot of the couch (keeps my toes cozy), fresh whole coconuts, my black Marc Jacobs cross shoulder bag (so versatile), Carmex lip balm and my ipad.

Tell us one interesting fact about you: I can speak a bit of Kwak’wala, spoken by a small group of First Nations peoples. Growing up in Port Hardy, we studied that language rather than French in grade 1.
