Gaga Over Leopard And Red

by Lil J

Gaga Over Leopard + Red by petite-stylist on polyvore.com

There’s no doubting her ability to influence change in music. Likewise, this petite songstress manages to have an influence on fashion. Lady Gaga’s statement pieces, bold colours, wild choices and sheer unpredictability with style, makes her one very exciting fashionista . In one of tamer outfits (which I love), she wears a beautiful flowing leopard sheer dress with some super high red pumps. I just love the mix of leopard print and bright bold red.

My petiteness in height, size and footwear would not stop me from getting my favourite look! Nor should it stop you! If you like Lady Gaga’s leopard look, all you need to do is add some of Pretty-Small-Shoe‘s ‘Hyper Red-Super High‘ heels, KandyCollective‘s ‘Leopard Effect Jacket‘ and add a bit of wackiness, you’ll almost be like the real deal herself.

Winter Charm

by Lil J

For me, I find winter to be the funnest season to dress up in. The coats, the hats, the gloves… The boots! Ah, bless the good ole boot. And bless Pretty-Small-Shoes for getting me in some gorgeous petite pairs this winter.

Pretty-Small-Shoes has a huge range in petite sized boots for women. They have small sized ankle boots, knee boots and also thigh boots for the daring. A favourite boot of my is definitely the ‘Nell‘ boots. The outer material is soft lamb skin leather and the inner part of the boots are lined with thick wooly softness. I don’t have a pair yet, but I really want some! I have a friend who got these made to measure for her. They fit her perfectly!

Pair these wonderful petite ‘Nell‘ boots with Kandy Collective‘s ‘Petite-Knitted Waistcoat with Fur Overlay‘ and you’ve got one ultra warm and fashion fierce outfit.

Gorgeous Winter Warmers

by Lil J

Now that Christmas and New Years are over… I feel like chilling out for a bit and really embracing this nice wintery weather. I just want to relax and feel really comfy. That’s the best thing about winter, you can wear nice and cosy outfits. I’ve decided on an outfit I’d like to get and YES, it does require a bit of Pretty-Small-Shoes and a bit of Kandy Collective. How could it not for a petite like me?

A pair of boots I’ve been thinking seriously about getting are the ‘UMA‘ boots. I love how it sits tall on the leg. Prior to discovering Pretty-Small-Shoes, I would have never had the opportunity to wear such beautiful boots. What’s more, these petite boots can be made tailored to fit your calf/leg measurements! AMAZING!! I know Pretty-Small-Shoes do a fantastic job on this as I’ve got a pair of ‘REBEL-knee‘ boots made especially to fit- and they fit perfectly! Not only are the ‘UMA‘ petite tall boots stylish, they are practical for many occasions. In keeping with snuggly and stylish petite wear, I would most definitely match it with Kandy Collectives ‘Short-Sleeve-Chunky-Knit-Cardigan‘… OHHH they look fabulously comfortable.

A perfect petite outfit for a wintery day out in the park.

My Letter To Santa

by Lil J

Dear Santa,

So, it’s that time of year again where you’re supposed to fulfil my wishes. I was impressed with your gift last year. I love my ‘Cinderella Colours‘, thanks very much again Santa!

So this year, I’ve decided to extend my list of shoes, if that’s OK with you?

First of all, I’d like for you to get me the petite sized ’American Beauty‘ mid heels from Pretty-Small-Shoes. They’d make the perfect pair of work shoes, wouldn’t you agree? I just love the leopard bow- such a nice touch.

For the second pair of small shoes, I’d really love to get my hands on the ‘Sydney’ boots. I really like these boots as they’re the perfect pair of casual boots. I think they would look great with the skinny jeans I’m getting from mum and also would suit all the leggings and tights I own. So, this would definitely be of use during this colder season!

OK, so for my final pretty petite pair on the Wish List, please… please… PRETTY PLEASE, would you send me a pair of ‘Hyper Red‘? I’d love to wear these for New Years! You and I both know these shoes will be the talk of the party. They’re so sexy, extremely trendy and I love the colour red. So loud and so bold! Just like me.

Well, there you go. That’s my list of petite sized shoes so far… There might be more to add later, so Santa, please stay tuned. In regards to that question you ask every year, have I been naughty or nice? I know you know the answer to that!

Love,

Lil J. x

Christmas Work Party Style For Petites

by Lil J

Petite Christmas Party Style

Hello Monday morning! OH MY! I just realised that it is that time of year already… Sort out the presents, pick the tree, organize the family and… The much anticipated annual work Christmas party is coming up. I remember it wasn’t too long ago that I dreaded the process of picking out the outfit for the Christmas Party due to the fact that I had very limited choices – which I blamed on my petiteness, obviously! Now, is a completely different story. I have Pretty-Small-Shoes to thank and now with the new petite ladies fashion house, Kandy Collective, there’s no stopping me. The only problem I have now is narrowing down my seemingly endless options, but I’m not complaining.

The moment I saw these shoes, I JUST KNEW, they were THE PAIR for Christmas. I am of course talking about the small sized shimmery ‘DISCO DIVA‘. My favourite is the peach colour. I am a fan of the extra height- 14cm, the sparkle and the fact that they fit my petite size 34 feet.

I’ve mentioned before that I usually dress by choosing the shoes first then making my way upwards. So, since I had already decided on the pair of petite shoes I’d wear, it was time to pick a nice petite show-stopper top. I was browsing Kandy Collective and found an amazing top that just screams “CHRISTMAS PARTY… CHRISTMAS PAAARTAAY!”. This is of course the Gold Metallic Knitted Top. How could I go past this lovely piece? Now, don’t worry, I’m not turning into a Christmas ornament, but it is after all that time of year where you have an excuse to wear all that shimmers and sparkles and with these exciting options- how could I say no?!

Modern Metallics for the Modern Petite

by Lil J

Just because you are petite in shoes or in body size does not mean you get to miss out on the hottest trend going around. No more waiting around to see if other labels will release that style in your petite size. All you need to do is hit up the TWO coolest online shopping stores specialising in everything for the petite! Yes! I am indeed talking about Pretty-Small-Shoes and the newest small ladies fashion house, Kandy Collective.

The latest in shoe trends and fashion trends suggest you oomph up your winter wardrobe with some hints of METALLICS. Be careful not to over-do it, that people mistake you for a ‘candy wrapper’ attending a fancy-dress Christmas party. The key is, splashes of metallics – done minimal chic! You may want to consider having the key piece of your outfit and accessorising around it, like, the Kandy Collective ‘Multi Chain Necklace‘ and pairing it with a petite pair of ‘New Day‘ heels or small sized ‘Celestine‘ in metallic colours.

This particular trend in metallics would be perfect for the wintery Christmas holidays!

Dressing Up For The Airport, Petite Style

The festive season is coming up and there will be a lot of you travelling by plane and if you do make sure you do it in style. A pair of petite leather look leggings from Pretty-Small-Shoes will be a staple item that you must bring with you on holidays. It will also be a good idea to rug up if you’re in cold places with a ladies fashionable petite sized Blanket Wrap Cardigan from Kandy Collective and add a bit of sexiness with some small sized high heel boots like Super Modella from Pretty-Small-Shoes.

For those of you who have already planned the holidays, make sure you plan you petite outfits too! =)

Ooh La La

by Lil J

French women love heels, particularly the Parisian women. The key is investing in a pair you know you can wear everywhere. I am absolutely in love with Pretty-Small-Shoes revamped taller version of French Kiss, the French Kiss- Crystal (super high). These sexy petite leather booties have a 14cm heel and 4cm platform which makes them quite tall but also very comfy to walk in. I think these booties look super pretty with the petite Black Pixie Dress from Kandy Collective. This style can work with all petite shapes and sizes. The heels give the boost in height and the style dress has lovely layering around the hips to flatter any petite shape. Little ladies everywhere finally have an exciting place to shop for their petite frames to match their petite feet. Thanks Pretty-Small-Shoes and Kandy Collective!

Micro Trend: Fetish

by Lil J

Now, I know it’s Monday and this could seem like a bit much for the beginning of the week. But really, if you do this style correctly, you’d see that it can work perfectly. The micro-trend going around is ‘Fetish’. Sounds a bit scary, but it’s not exactly what you are thinking! It’s more about sexy heels with long pencil skirts and all covered top. It’s about focusing on the shoes and keeping everything else nicely covered- so no exposed bras or bodices ladies! Think, Dita Von Teese in the daytime!

Pretty-Small-Shoes has so many styles that cover burlesque/ fetish inspired looks. Have a look at some of my favourites! Pasha-Thigh, Boss Cat Mary Jane, Bad Lu Lu, Strap Culture and Gisele.
