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!

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)!!!!!

I HEART Petites!

I love love LOVE this gorgeously cute red heart morif dress from Topshop's Petite collection!

Not only is the dress girly, cheerful and most importantly, petite, but the playful heart motif and red colour pallett also has a striking resemblance to a garment seen in one of my most favourite designers, Meadham Kirchhoff's Spring Summer 2012 Collection!  (Take a look at the pictures below to see the similarity!!!)

I also loveeeeeeed the AMAZING Tinkerbell like pom pom wedges seen in Meadham Kirchhoff's SS12 show (which the model is wearing with the heart motif dress) so I decided to take a look around to find some witty pom pom wedges from the high street and found this extremely playful leapoard print pair complete with a red wedge and red pom pom from New Look!
Starting at a UK size 3 these are just the right size for tiny petite feet and when worn with Topshop's Petite heart motif dress will complete the playful, summer look perfectly!

Happy playful shopping Petites!
