Are you having a hard time styling your outfits to complement your petite stature? Here are the most important challenges we petite women experience all the time.

Layered outfits are the thing right now, but putting together the perfect layered outfit may be something difficult to do. Still, if you follow these simple principles you’ll layer clothes like a pro in no time!

Christmas holidays are almost over here in U.K  however, it’s winter till February so some of us still go away for short breaks or skii holidays.  If packing for the winter holidays sounds too much for you, you need a few ideas to guide you and help you out. First things first!

Hello Everyone! Few weeks ago I was introduced to Luxemme, a luxury women’s clothing based in the U.K. Luxemme ‘s clothing range is a great mix of Parisian chic and Manchester street style. I was lucky enough to be able to try on an elegant lace playsuit* which I absolutely adore. I all about luxury classy dressing without breaking the bank and Luxemme is the perfect shop for this. If you want to buy luxury clothing at great price check out Luxemme website.

The lace playsuit that I wore is available for only £35 on their website. I love the mesh short sleeves and the elegant lace detail of the playsuit. The open look cut out on the gives the elegant playsuit an edgy look.

Talking about luxury dressing without breaking your bank may be a real challenge, especially when you’re petite. Most big retailers have petite sections in their store where you can find amazing pieces, but not that affordable in most cases. So, what to do when you’re petite and you want to have luxurious clothing without spending too much? Here are few tips that can help you out.

# 1 Find the Best Bargains Online
One good starting point would be to go for outlets or online fashion retailers that have seasonal discounts, so there’s a great bargain all year around. Some of the most affordable yet luxurious looking clothing can be found on Luxemme.com

# 2 Buy Clothes that Don’t Get Outdated Easily
Another thing to consider when you want to buy cheap clothing that looks expensive is to stick to somewhat classy clothes that rarely get out of fashion. This way, you’ll have a large wardrobe and even if you buy a piece that costs a few extra pounds, it compensates with its versatility. Go for solid colour clothes. Blacks will always stay elegant and in fashion. Remember: when it comes to luxurious clothes, simplicity is key!

# 3 Take Good Care of Your Clothes
Keeping your clothes in amazing shape will make them look expensive just because they aren’t degraded, decolored or thorn. So don’t spend all your money on outlets, bargains just to fill up your wardrobe with anything cheap, instead appreciate what you already have, combine them in neat, elegant looks and take good care of them starting with washing, ironing and so on.

Hello everyone! Happy Monday! Winter is that time when I want to change my wardrobe and wear something warm yet stylish. We need clothes that will make us sparkle and make us stand out from the crowd. As a petite woman, deciding on what trend to follow amid the cool months becomes quite imperative.

Here are some winter style tips you need to know about

1. Every season there will be a trend that suits all body shapes.

The secret to looking truly smart is to choose the dress, skirts, trousers and coat styles to suit your body shape. This is very important for us petite women to choose to outfits that suit our body shape.

2. Find a statement coat

This season is the best time to shine because it’s quite grey and we all need some colour. Color the walkways with a decent winter statement coat! Choose a coat in a brilliant color or complicated plaids so you can pop out of the group!

Do you feel luxurious? If yes, then invest in an Italian or French wool coat. If you are the type that loves fur, if you are getting faux, ensure you get one that is absolutely over-the-top.

3. Try over the knee boots

Today, wearing a pair of over the knee boots are the hottest things in the fashion world. You could also choose to go for an ankle boot or shoes with fringes

4. Investing in cashmere is a good idea

Go cashmere in everything – from scares to gloves to dresses and sweaters! You’ll certainly feel like a million bucks!

5. The Color Purple

The shade of the season is certainly purple! In this way, stock up on purple packs, gloves, caps, rings, and so on!

6. Create an impression with tights

Over the last couple of years, statement tights have turned out to be progressively prevalent. Wear tights in bright colors and patterns for a fun and smart winter time look.

7. Balancing the outfit

Whichever clothing and accessories you wear, ensure that you consider the completed look to guarantee that it is well balanced.

8. Adding extras Accessories

Pick your accessories carefully. Scarves make awesome winter accessories, they not only give a touch of warmth but they also include color and texture. Belts are also good because it helps to make your dress fit.

Hello, everyone! Today’s post is about few fashion tips to make you look taller. Being petite I am always trying to look tall, so hopefully these tips would be helpful to all you petite women. See below for the tips:

1. You can look taller by wearing matching dark color suits. When, you wear dark matching outfits, it eliminates minor imperfections such as shadows and wrinkles because they blend in with the fabrics. You can choose to wear navy blue, dark green, brown, charcoal etc.
2. Avoid wearing clothes that does not fit you. Rather wear clothes that fit you as your torso would seem long than short.
3. High heels can also make you look somewhat taller. However shoes with massive heels actually can make you look shorter so it’s better to choose a medium heel height.
4. Another tip is to attempt to separate the upper part of your body and the base in differentiating colors. This will make your lower half seem longer – for instance, wearing high-waisted shorts. Wearing long shirts will make you seem shorter.
5. Your posture also goes a long way. When you stand straight or keep your spine straight, and having your head up high, you will look taller than you actually look.
6. V-neck areas and dresses with hemlines that can reach the top of the knee or higher are other fashion tips that may also help you look taller.
7. Fitted Jeans with an unmistakable flare at the base make the deception of a longer leg, particularly when the hem hits the highest point of your shoes (heels, obviously!) The trick here is to keep the fit of the jean super-thin through the leg, and to ensure the waistband hits your natural waist — not any lower. For ideal stature, make sure to match your flares with a waist-length top, or a shirt you can tuck in.
8. Go super short or super long (to avoid calf length and knee-lengths) – if you decide to go for shorts, the go for super short. For petite women, as regards skirts and dresses, you should either go for a super long or super short. Wearing a mini skirt will help you show more of your skin which will in turn create an illusion of a long leg.
9. Lastly, one of the popular fashion tips for petite women is wearing vertical stripes. Wearing things that have stripes going straight here and there offer you some assistance with looking taller, instead of level stripes that will make you look big.Pinstripes likewise can definitely enhance your tallness.

Hello everyone! Hope you are all well. Recently I was approached by Aisle Style to check out their 2016 bridesmaid collection.

Hello, everyone! Thanks so much for your overwhelming comments on the last post. I apologize as I wasn’t able to reply to every single one of you.  Today’s post is about how I styled SheIn sweatshirt. Few weeks ago I was approached by SheIn to collaborate with them and style on of the items from their store.  SheIn founded in 2008, is a global online fashion store for women aged 18-35. They constantly strive to stock good quality fashionable and trendy clothing for women all over the world. In addition to women’s clothing, they also stock very trendy accessories at an affordable price.

I absolutely fell in love with their collection and chose this black long sleeve sweatshirt. I love sweatshirts they are a must have for cooler temperatures especially in a city like London. I styled the sweatshirt with boyfriend jeans and high heels. The sweatshirt is round neck with a stretchy fabric. Check out the sweatshirt here.

Hope you guys enjoyed the post. Now it’s time for Classy Monday Blog Link Up.
