This month’s Petite Fashion Challenge, hosted by Really Petite, is: Stylish for under $100: Put together a professional outfit (excluding shoes and accessories) for under $100. I had some trouble figuring out what to wear for this month’s challenge – I had originally planned to use a dress I bought back in November or December, […]
As mentioned in the other post, shoppers were only allowed to purchase three items at the Jason Wu for Target pop-up on Thursday. I took in six pieces to try, including dresses (three), a skirt and two tops and ended up buying one dress and two tops. Two of the dresses I wanted to buy […]
This post is a long time coming as some of the purchases came over two weeks ago! Since I signed up for the flash sale site, Peacock Parade back in the fall, I had mostly been buying dresses. Lately, it has been tops – ones that I can wear into spring and even summer. The […]
They’re surprisingly ankleish on me, even though it’s not a petite size (Jacob does not do petites), especially when tucked into a lose-ish fitting top (as I’m wearing in the pictures). What do you think of this? Pants: Jacob Houndstooth Ankle Pants, size 0 – $79 CDN Top: Lucian Matis, size XS Blazer: Femme […]
My family went to the 360 Restaurant, a revolving restaurant at the CN Tower for our annual “spin of luck and good fortune” dinner. This is a tradition that we have continued to do for over The dinner was absolutely amazing (we were very lucky to go on a clear night so we got an […]
Yeah, I know. I neglected to mention that I’m finally a proud owner of Christian Louboutins! The Prorata 90 mm pumps were purchased from a Christian Louboutin boutique in Hong Kong at the oh-so-hard-to-find size 34 (the similar-looking New Simple Pump starts at 35). Yes, size 34. Not 34.5 or size 35. I don’t think […]
I’m going to do something different this session. Rather than at Shorty Stories, my Petite Fashion Challenge is being posted at DelectablyChic!, a site that focuses on general style, rather than something that is height/petite-specific. So, for those readers who are not regular Shorty Stories readers, the Petite Fashion Challenge, which launched in 2010, asks […]
Maybe it’s just that we’re Canadian, but unlike Europe and some other parts of the world, clients at the H&M store on Yonge and Bloor in Toronto were relatively well-behaved at today’s launch. Coloured bracelets were given out to people who were in line just around 7:40, each coded for a time slot. Mine was […]
As cold weather approaches, I’m finding that I’m wearing more and more sweaters. I actually have a huge collection in my closet (and my old closet at my parents’ place) dating back to high school (I think I still have a Fair Ilse sweater from the Gap circa 1995 or 1996.) My three newest additions, […]
E-commerce is back at The Bay! Many of the brands found in the historic Canadian department store can now be bought right from the comfort of your home, office or local coffee shop, just with a click of a mouse. Luxury labels found in The Room, however, are not available. Anyway, I recently picked up […]
