Fashion’s Night Out Toronto Loot!!

Isn’t this bag gorgeous?  Looks vintage, doesn’t it?  The bag is by Sneha Varma and was purchased at the Toronto Fashion Incubator/Stylicity event held at Hazelton Lanes at Fashion’s Night Out, and it was my only actual purchase.  The bag also comes in black and blue and has both a shorter shoulder strap as well [...]

Trina Turk for Banana Republic Loot

ShareSome of the Banana Republic stores hosted an after 5 event to celebrate the launch of their Trina Turk collaboration where people got to shop for the looks as well as enjoy some delicious refreshments.  The collection of brightly coloured, resort-inspired pieces includes a very good selection of petite sizing, including tops, skirts (well, skirt [...]

My Petite Camera: The Sony NEX 5N

nex5n

ShareFor a very long time, I was shooting not only outfit pictures for this site, but runway and other fashion images for DelectablyChic! (and its predecessor, Prospere Magazine) using an advanced point-and-shoot.  However, I knew that if I wanted better pictures, I needed to invest in a better camera, something with interchangeable lenses.  I got [...]

The t+j Designs Style Challenge!

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

coachcurry2

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 [...]
