Recent Edits and a Mint on the Pillow

Now that I've had time, I have edited some entries:
Must-Have: denim jacket
I added a new piece to the Vuitton ad entry

And because I don't want to waste precious space, here are some stylish presents for you (not all are petites):

These concealed-wedge Nike sneakers are the results of a Nike and Liberty of London collaboration. Covetable enough at their $130 price, they're already out of stock online!









Burberry Prorsum woven raffia trench coat, $2.995. Even though the Burberry trench is a classic must-have, there are millions of new variations every year that are equally lovable.


Sometimes the classic Burberry checks just get on my nerves, so it's nice to see a belt in neon shades. It would look great with the trench I previously showed. 495 USD














Christian Louboutin loafers, 995 dollars at net-a-porter.com. Although the real fun Louboutins are the sky-high heels worn by Blake Lively and Lady Gaga, the flats are much more comfy. Besides, slip-ons are in!

Beauty Update!

I hope that two entries compensate for abandoning you for more than a month.

The last time I wrote about beauty, I was using a Neutrogena concealer. Since that time, I went over to the dark side (Origins) because the other concealer didn't work out for me. I don't mean to critisize the concealer in any way, but I don't recommend it. It's orangey and destroys the whole purpose of wearing concealer, beause it's more noticeable than blemishes. Aside from that, I haven't really changed my beauty routine. Even though they're expensiv, Avène products are great and now that summer's right around the corner, I'm going to use their SPF products, which have worked for me year after year.

Origins Quick, Hide! concealer, 15 dollars, origins.com











Beauty tip:
Trust the ballerinas: When I was in the Nutcracker this year I kept some of the bobby pins from the company and I don't just use them for my buns, they have the strongest hold I've ever seen in a bobby pin and work for every kind of hairstyle. We also got professional Mehron make-up and I have to admit that I've used it many times offstage, but you can never go overboard with it.

Mehron Hyper-performance CreamBlend foundation, $10.95












Mehron Pencil Liner, $3.50
You really can't go overboard with this eyeliner because it's for stage use so it can look exaggerated.










The Must-Haves II

I haven't posted anything recently because I've been extremely busy and travelling and all, but my mind has been buzzing with all these ideas for entries that I seem to forget when I sit down at the computer.
Anyways, this entry is about denim jackets (I actually don't have one).
The easy way to go is to pair your Gap jeans with your Gap jean jacket, but we're fashionistas, aren't we?

Recently, celebrities have been wearing denim jackets with cute party frocks, so we'll try that look too.

Celeb style:










Keira Knightley chose an LWD with a faded denim jacket, khaki booties and an oversized bag, while Rachel Roy opted for her own designs; a tie-dye denim jacket and a beaded LBD.

























Real girl style: (these are from the TeenVogue website)

 From left to right: Stylish Indian 21-year-old Anupreet Sidhu wears a faded denim jacket and white sunglasses from Thailand, a handmade maxidress, Mango bag and heels from a local fashion shop. Spanish style blogger (thefashionthroughmyeyes.com) Carla Estevez sports a Pull & Bear denim jacket and Zara dress, bag and flats.

My outfit:
 Pull&Bear denim jacket (also available in a more faded shade).














White Pull&Bear dress. White Asos Petite dress, from $60.90



From left to right: J Crew Tillary shoulder bag in neon coral, $148 at jcrew.com. This is the J Crew Brompton hobo bag and it's my favourite bag out of all the bags in the world. I don't even have it, but it looks comfotable, conventional and overall, chic. Here it's in henna and it's 298 dollars at jcrew.com


Sam Edelman for American Eagle Outfitters flats, 29.99 USD










As you know, I always make sure that the clothes I show are petites, larger children's clothing or from a store with smaller sizes or that usually caters to teens. If I show shoes, I also make sure that they exist in a size 5 or under (these aren't currently available online in such sizes).
More denim jacket looks coming soon!
