You might have already read my post at DelectablyChic! about MasterCard being Toronto Fashion Week’s new title sponsor, but this morning, I found out that L’Oreal has been replaced as well. The new cosmetics sponsor is Maybelline! Maybelline is the official make-up sponsor for Fashion Weeks around the world, including Berlin and of course, New [...]
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 [...]
Toronto style blogger Backseat Stylers recently posted about Charlotte Olympia’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection of devastingly gorgeous shoes. While they’re very pretty to look at, practically every one of them has a super-high heel. According to the Charlotte Olympia website, many are as high as close to 5 3/4″ (the Dolly Slingback, shown below, is listed [...]
I found August’s blog recently and came across The Beauty of a Woman Blogfest post. August is encouraging people to post about what they define as The Beauty of a Woman on February 9, 2012, which can include any of the following: – When do you feel most beautiful? – The most beautiful you’ve ever [...]
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.

You have to be invited (or request an [...]
I’m going to do something different this session. Rather than at Shorty Stories, my Petite Fashion Challenge is posted at DelectablyChic!, which focuses on style, dining and travel. So, for those of you who are not regular Shorty Stories readers, the Petite Fashion Challenge, which launched in 2010, asks petite bloggers (and some non-bloggers, too) [...]

Some allowed a one inch leeway (after all, regular runway models [...]
This year, Shorty Stories celebrates its fifth anniversary as a blog (the site launched a year before as a non-blog site, but I now consider 2006 my “beta year”).
