Olympic Great British Knitwear!

I have just finished my first week interning for the lovely Amber Wood, director of fashion PR agency 'Emslie Creative' - Take a look at our Facebook page and like if you like what you see!!

One of Emslie's clients is Madeleine Thompson; 'The Queen of Cashmere' who designs stunning knitwear garments, so I decided to have a look through the high street's petite collections to see what they had to offer in knitwear.

I found this perfect 'Petite Union Jack Jumper' from Topshop's petite collection which not only ticks the box of being able to recreate Madeleine's staple knitwear look but it is also a great piece for your Autumn Winter wardrobe and a perfect way to get you in the Olympic spirit and support Team GB!!

I thought the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony last night was absolutely amazing and it really did make me feel very proud to be British, so come on and support Great Britain in gorgeous knitwear!

Petite Prada Perfection!

I am loving Asos Petite's current collection and following my previous petite post, focused on an Asos Petite sequined dress, this post is dedicated to their stunning 50's body kickersuit which is almost a EXACT replica from Prada's SS12 collection! 

The 50's was a big trend on the Spring Summer 2012 catwalk with pencil skirts, bandeau tops, prom dresses, knicker shorts and all in one swimsuits being some of the key features, so this kickersuit will keep your summer wardrobe bang on trend.

To add to this petite perfect find, the knickersuit has now been reduced from £32 to just £16 which is an AMAZING price for a high street garment which is SO similar to a Prada look! (check out the similarities from the images below - colour, panelling and all!!!)

Sequin Stunners!

I LOVE everything pink, sparkly and girly soI fell in love with this dress worn by actress Ashley Tisdale to the Premier of the upcoming film 'The Rock of Ages'!

At a tiny 5'3" Ashley really manages to stand out from the crowd in this stunningly shimmering dress and is a true petite sequin inspiration! To top it off, this sequin stunner also helped Ashley make her way to Look magazines 'This Week's Best Dressed!' List! Take a look at Ashely and the rest Look's Best Dressed list now!

I decided to take inspiration from Ashley's lusterous look and take to the high street's Petite online colllections and I loveeeeeee this gorgeous gold dress from Asos Petite which is embelished in sequins from top to toe! I also love the cap sleeve styling and the dress' perfect mid cut length and think it is a great buy for any Petite who wants to shimmer their way out from the crowd on a night out!

Furthermore, this beautifullll dress has had a great price reduction, going from £140 to just £40 - So get your hands on this Asos sequin stunner now! 

Happy Shopping Petites!

Parvin's Royal Petite Tip!

Hope you have all enjoyed your long Diamond Jubilee weekend Petites and are now all red, white and blued out!

I thought I would finish the memorable celebrations off with a petite tip from the stylist of none other than the Her Majesty herself, Stewart Parvin.

Parvin has been stylist to the Queen since 2000 and designs her outfits for all official Royal occasions. In a recent article from the Mail Online, Parvin reveals that he like to dress the Queen in block colours, to elongate her tiny 5'4" frame.

The bright block colours worn by the Queen are also an excellent way to ensure that she is always visible and that she easily stands out from the crowd, which along with the fact that block colours elongate tiny frames, I thought was an excellent tip to share with you!

I was also amazed and very jealous to discover that the Queen has a servant with the same sized feet as her who;s job it is to breaks in  her shoes before she wears them to save her feet from blistering!!!! Oh if only ayyy!

Parvin, I salute you for this great petite tip!
Hope you enjoy it too Petites, and use it to stand out from the crowds despite your petiteness!

Cheerio!

And I am pleased to announce, that after my previous petite post (Petite Passion: Crazy Print Peeps!) which was all about a stunning pair of on trend New Look heels..... New Look won the 'Best Shoes' award! HORAYYYYY!!!!

Starting from a tiny UK size 3 New Look shoes are perfect for petite feet and in my eyes extremely worthy winners! They have an amazing collection of heels and wedges which are great for height boosting and New Look is always the first brand I head to when heel hunting!!!

Petite Pashion: Crazy Print Peeps!

Afternoon Petites, I would just like to start off by saying a HUGE thank you to all of my followers as I am very pleased to announce that Short Couture won my uni blog competition!!! Thank you so much for supporting me and I hope you continue to enjoy my petite posts!

So today's post is dedicated to every short girl's petite passion... Heels!

I came across this stunningggg pair from New Look which start from a tiny UK size 3 and instantly fell in love! I love the beautifully bright colours of the heels and think there a perfect way to add a splash of summery colour to any outfit.  Their crazy floral pattern also really reminds me of the outrageously gorgeous prints used throughout Mary Katrantzou's Spring Summer 2012 collection so not only will they give you that extra bit of height us Petites crave but this dizzying print is also extremely on trend!

Furthermore, when wearing these beauties you are guaranteed to stand out in the crowd (no matter how short you are)!!!!!
