SONY DSC

ShareHosted by I am Stylish/T + J Designs and judged by blogs Alterations Needed, Extra Petite and I am Khatu, participants were asked to “take a piece of jewelry, maybe a statement piece that you don’t wear often but would like to or just your favorite stand out piece and put an outfit together.” If [...]

Trying to Get into More Glitzy Stuff

jewelleryandstuff

ShareDespite having graduated from high school almost 14 years ago, I still have a resistance to wear lots of jewellery.  My high school was pretty strict about what we could and couldn’t wear while in uniform.  No “shower curtain earrings” (i.e. what the headmistress at my school called big hoop earrings, still popular when I [...]

Mad Men Scarf From Banana Republic

bananascarf1

ShareAs you probably have read in various petite blogs, Banana Republic’s Mad Men collection, while pretty, was for the most part, not petite-friendly at all.  Petite sizes were not in stores – even ones with petite sections and the regular sizes were just too big.  However, that can’t be said about accessories.  Accessories don’t have [...]

Webitor’s Picks: Gorgeous Burgundies that Can Be Worn NOW!

Bordeaux, burgundy or whatever you want to call it, deep reds are IT for the fall.  They’re everywhere, from bags to clothes to shoes and cosmetics.  I wore burgundy (and grey) every day for six years when I was at the Bishop Strachan School (BSS), and though I don’t wear them together anymore, burgundy still… [Continue Reading]

Pre-Fall Bag from Coach’s Chelsea Collection

ShareI posted about this Coach bag over at DelectablyChic! this morning, but thought I’d write something a little different for Shorty Stories.  I fell in love with the colour, “curry” – a tomato-y shade that looks salmon in certain light(funny how the colours are food-connected) since I saw another bag displayed in the window.  I [...]

My Obsession with Kristin Continues

Share I recently took advantage of my 30% off card for Coach and bought another bag from the Kristin collection, the Kristin Spectator Leather Zip tote (I already have the Kristin Spectator Willow) in ivory.  The bag measures 16 1/4″ x 11 3/4″ x 4″, a bit bigger than what I normally carry, but like [...]

Mott Street Fisher Bag by Kate Spade

Share Most of you know that I’m always looking to add to my bag collection, especially one I can use for events.  The Mott Street Fisher Bag looks like a contender.  Available in three colours (black, cream and orange), it measures 8.6″ (h) x 12.5″ (l) x 3.9″ (d).  Considering that I’m looking to get [...]

442 McAdam Hobo Bag

ShareI recently received my new Hobo bag from 442 McAdam, which I purchased back in the fall. This bag, which measures about 17″ at its widest point is perfect for travelling (after all, you need to carry a camera, phone, wallet, passport, etc, etc…).  It also comes with regular handles as well as a longer [...]

Michael Kors Bag!!

Share  Last week (and the week before), I posted asking readers their opinion on which bag to purchase.  I was looking for something that was not too small – enough to fit my essentials, which include my wallet, my Blackberry, lipgloss and sometimes, my camera (especially if I’m covering an event for DelectablyChic!)I finally [...]

Social Media and Purse Hunt Update

ShareYou might have noticed that I’ve changed things around a little on the site.  I’ve moved my social media links towards the top of the left sidebar so it’ll be easier for readers to find us on Facebook and Twitter.  You can also now follow this blog without having to scroll down towards the middle [...]
