Both Talbots and Tristan have closed over the past few weeks and the two stores replacing them are Juicy Couture and Pink, respectively. I was actually very surprised about the closing as I didn’t hear any announcement at all. I knew that Talbots was in a bit of trouble from a while back, but didn’t […]
Axe is launching a limited edition body spray called Anarchy, of which they’ll also produce one for women. They have released a teaser, which I found, for a lack of words, lame, probably worse than any other Axe ad I’ve seen. Most of us want to feel sensual, sexy and appreciated by men. The video, […]

So, for those readers who are not regular Shorty Stories readers, the Petite Fashion Challenge, which launched in 2010, asks […]
Happy New Year, everyone! Now that 2012 is here, it’s time for our very first giveaway of the year! This necklace, which was purchased by me from RW&Co. is simple and lovely and can be worn with a suit to work, glam up a dress for an evening out and even wear it with sweater […]
Recently, Jersey Shore’s Snooki announced that she had reached her goal weight of 98 lb. Now, I don’t watch the show – I think Jersey Shore is tacky and low brow entertainment to the core – but I can’t help but find her critics – those who say that she’s “gone too far” when it […]
