Finally, a luxury line has arrived for petite women 5’5″ and below. The 16th Bar, led by 4’11” designer Frankie Ortiz, presented its debut collection in Los Angeles late last year. Currently only available online, but with plans to open brick and mortar stores, the collection consists of skirts, dresses and jackets and features true […]
The Wall Street Journal and Toronto Standard were among the many publications that discussed Israel’s recent ban on “too skinny” models. In Israel, models must have a BMI of at least 18.5 in order to work and there are very strict rules about using models who fall below the magic number. However, this ruling is […]

Considering how I’m always about being “proper” and “lady-like,” I’m actually not much of a headpiece kind of girl.

I recently received a black Calvin Klein Push Positive bra, courtesy of a Toronto PR company. This push up/padded bra is, unlike many of its competition, soft wired, giving it a more comfortable fit – no digging in under your boobs, and with more of a sports bra-like feel. Unlike a sports bra, however, Push […]

Closet where I will be posting my style posts starting some time in early August. All posts coming from the site, which will include looks from my closet, wish list items as well as […]
First of all, apologies for the delay in posting the June results as well as the July poll – being out of town and then immediately having out-of-town guests is a lot of work! Last month, we asked readers whether they preferred seeing models or celebrities in magazines. We were not exactly too surprised with […]
The 17th Petite Fashion Challenge, hosted by Sew Petite Gal asks: Take a bowl full of colorful candies (M&Ms, Jolly Ranchers, jelly beans, etc.), close your eyes, and draw 2-3 pieces. Now use those colors (+ a neutral of your choosing) to form the basis for your ensemble. I don’t really have candy in my […]

Since 1989, The Canadian Dermatology Association and The Canadian Cancer society have been hosting all sorts of events during National Sun Awareness Week (which occurred earlier this month, from June 4 to June 10): free skin screenings, school visits by dermatologists, video competition for teens are among the few initiatives meant to bring ‘light’ to […]
I recently made some purchases at Murale, a Canadian beauty store similar to Sephora. Due to some crazy error, it took a couple of weeks for my order to go through. Because of the inconvenience, the store said that they’d send me some extra samples. Little did I know that these “extra samples” included two […]
