Guess what? Petite fashionistas’ favourite petite-focused denim line, Allison Izu is hitting the big time. Nordstrom in Hawaii (not sure about mainland US locations) has taken notice of the jeans and will be selling three styles (the Chinatown Trouser in black (featured in Oprah Magazine), the NEW Chinatown in Dark Indigo Blue (only at Nordstrom […]
I decided to post my week’s worth of Fashion Week outfits in one post rather than separate “Outfit of the Day” articles that everyone else seemed to be doing. As usual, there was a lot of emphasis on wearing Canadian brands, so every day, I tried to incorporate at least ONE Canadian designer or brand […]
Day Five, the final day of Toronto Fashion Week was a good one with shows from the likes of Arthur Mendonça (some petite friendly pieces, with the right alterations), Joeffer Caoc and Travis Taddeo. Petites in attendance on the finale of the Fall/Winter 2012-2013 shows include: Anna Janelle Helen and Callie Harmonie Veronica and Natalie […]
It was another busy day at Toronto Fashion Week, featuring shows from Triarchy Brand (denim) and of course, the ever-popular Pink Tartan and the gorgeous, bird-influenced David Dixon (more on that over at DelectablyChic! soon) and many petites were at the tents for the shows, including: Sally Erica Katherine Ashley Emily Just one more day […]
Day Three was yet another busy day at Toronto Fashion Week with several highly anticipated shows including VAWK (which featured “regular women” models for the VAWKKIN line) and ever-popular and affordable, Joe Fresh. For me, it was also a matter of running back up to Yorkville to pop into the Coach boutique for a book […]

Many of the shows had gorgeous pieces (though I know some so-called “fashion bloggers” […]

Since petites are widely ignored by the fashion world, Shorty Stories is once again, bringing back our twice-a-year Petites at Fashion Week series. The pictures for Day 1 were all taken at the Royal […]
Though the pieces were slightly too big (make that at least one size bigger than “normal” at H&M), I managed to make them work…well, as best as I could, anyway. The first piece, one of the double sided dresses, something I was debating over – whether to get the top or the dress (which I […]
I was lucky enough to be chosen to shop the Marni at H&M collection the evening before its launch at one of the Toronto stores. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a DM notification on Twitter from the wonderful people at H&M Canada. I was happy as well, since it meant that I wouldn’t […]
Last month, we asked readers whether petite blogs have helped you become more stylish and “in-the-know” about what fits a shorter figure. Of those who participated, 62.5% said that petite blogs have definitely helped, 16.7% said that it depends, since most of the blogs focus on business/office-related clothing, while they were looking for something more […]
