Tiny skirt alert again! This is a mauve ruched skirt I just recently bought at H & M and love it! It's teeny weeny so it's perfect for petites! It's more of a casual/going out skirt but it fits like a glove and I can wear it in all seasons! Anyone who is my size or even smaller- you definitely have to check this skirt out! The color is super pretty and you can pair it with tights! I included the tag as a reference below:)

The best part about blogging is coming in contact with some really great companies and designers! One of which is Menuet Designs. The name Menuet refers to a classical courtly dance from Europe which dates back to the 1700's. They currently sell their beautiful jewelry on HERE. I was honored when contacted by them to do a review on one of their gorgeous pieces.  Before agreeing to do a review on this designer, I checked out all the pieces and really fell in love with this particular necklace- the Flower and Pearl Necklace. Most readers know I LOVE pearls and pearl necklaces and this is definitely something I would add to my wardrobe. It's dainty, feminine and just so ME! I was fortunate enough to be able to pick an item that I thought best represented me and my blog. And I knew that if I loved it as much, then most readers would be just as excited!

I have realized something about LOFT dresses! Most of the time, when I see them on the hanger in-store or online, they don't look as cute but when I actually bring them home and try it on, it always look better on! That's happened with my  petite cowl neck sweater dress and the petite patterned flutter shift dress I got about 2 weeks ago. And I love both of them! This post will include a video and stylebook pictures:)

Most readers know that I don't ever pay full price (with the exception for Chanel, Christian Louboutin's and Louis Vuitton) and I love a bargain! Who doesn't love a great deal? I always shop the sale racks and wait for discounts, coupon codes or anyway to save a buck! Another way I save money is through ebates- sign up here to get cash back on your online purchases!

I just bought a bunch of stuff last week at 40% off in-store and now they have 50% so I am hoping to sneak in there tomorrow again!!! Here is what I got last week, the day after I got back from vacation because I just couldn't resist! So glad I did! Here is what I found:

This is a top from Summer- see it on Petite XXS here. Not sure if she ended keeping it but she has really good luck with finding tiny sizes! I would have never bought this but I got it for $7.64 after all discounts. I even signed up for a LOFT card which gave me an additional 15% off on top of the 40% - I figured it was about time. I about squealed in the store when I saw XXSP on the sale rack.

Happy Friday everyone!!! Still working on my photos from Bora Bora so I wanted to share this dress that I just got during my pop in at LOFT. I am going through some major shopping withdrawal so I just had to go in there on my way to work. Much to my surprise- I found tons of 00p items still left in the 40% racks! Yippee!

I just got back today from vacationing in Bora Bora and now am going through blogging withdrawal!!! Sorry I have been M.I.A and not commenting or responding to emails, questions etc..... 12 days in paradise was AMAZING!!!!!! There are no words to describe how beautiful it really is.  I have so much to share, pictures to show and even videos!!!! Here is just a sneak peak of a photo....more phenomenal pics to come- I promise!!! I feel like a new woman! So refreshed!!!!

I also have some great reviews and giveaways set up and coming soon so please stay tuned! I had to postpone everything until after my trip so there will be some goodies in the very near future!!!!

It's a rarity that I wear pants but I bought 2 pairs of wool Banana Republic pants last Winter and they have been sitting in my closet waiting to be tailored. I finally got myself to get them tailored and  am NOT loving the fit. It makes me look really big and wide.....so I am confirming that there is NO HOPE for me and pants!

I don't know if it's just me but I am getting bored with the same brands for petites. It's either Ann Taylor, LOFT, Banana Republic petites, J.Crew petites, ASOS petites, H & M or Bebe. The same old brands over and over again. I want another brand to try on and excite me! So I have been scouring the internet for just anything. When I visited my family in the Midwest, my sister-in-law had on a cute Free People dress and it fit her really well and she's tiny just like me.

Finding the right pair of boots for petite's is extremely difficult and frustrating. I have always had trouble finding boots with the correct shaft height and calf circumference. I don't have the narrowest legs but they are short and my calves measure 12" which make it very hard for me to find the perfect pair of boots. I did some research and wanted to pass the info along to the petite community!

I got an email from a reader asking what are the things I must have in my wardrobe - especially for someone who is starting out their career. I am sure it's different for everyone but I wanted to share the top things I believe are staples that every petite woman must have in their wardrobe.

#1. The first is a nice, well tailored pant/skirt suit. I much prefer skirt suits. I had to dig into my blog archives to pull up some old photos so sorry if they are not great
