Petite Fashion, Style, Issues and Random Rants

ShareI saw a Tweet from @hmusa recently about the fact that the plus department in the US is rebranding from Big & Beautiful to the more appropriate H&M+ name. Sizes this department will carry will range between 14 and 24. While I knew that H&M had plus sizes, I can’t help but wonder if they’ll [...]

ShareThey’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 [...]

ShareYeah, 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 [...]
ShareRemember the Greta Constantine dress I got from Peacock Parade at their Black Friday sale? Well, it’s been hemmed and I wore it out for the first time to a dinner here in Hong Kong. This is what it looks like now: Dress: Greta Constantine, size XS Belt: H&M, size XS Shoes: Cole Haan, size [...]

The jacket can “casualize” a little black dress (especially when paired with boots) or worn with jeans. Which one do you like better?
