The perfect leather pants :: Camel coat

 

I've been on the hunt for the perfect pair of leather pants for what seems like forever. There are many options out there for faux leather leggings but for faux leather pants, not so much. I ordered a couple of pairs to try and none of them worked out for me. This pair from BlankNYC has amazing reviews but the inseam is too long for my liking. I also tried on this pair. The length is great but the waistband and bum areas are just too big. Then I stumbled upon this pair from Zara and decided to give it a try. These pants turned out perfect for what I was looking for and I couldn't be happier. Unfortunately, they're sold out online but might still be available in-stores. I just ordered them last week. Outfit details: Zara leather pants | similar camel wool coat | Chanel boy bag | Tom Ford sunglasses | GAP tee

5 random things I am loving right now

1. Batiste Dry Shampoo
I've always been curious about dry shampoo but never committed to trying it. After weeks of research and countless hours of web surfing, I decided to give the Batiste Dry Shampoo Original a try. The online reviews were right, this dry shampoo is amazing. I have thin hair, and if I don't wash it every day, it gets oily. Well, I don't need to do that anymore. To use, just simply shake the bottle and spray onto oily parts of your hair. It will leave a white powdery finish to your hair at first but don't worry. Leave on for a couple of minutes then brush out. It gives my hair the most fantastic instant volume. Using dry shampoo is a super easy and quick way to give your hair a boost. It smells fresh and the price can't be beat. I highly recommend this product to those who'd like to give dry shampoo a try.

Review: My latest GAP purchase

I have been keeping an eye on the Gap legging jeans for a while. When I saw the medium faded wash was on sale for $24.99 last week, I couldn’t help myself. I ordered 2 of the exact same pair in a 00R – one for myself and the other for my sister. I also added the Gap floral pleated skirt as a filler for free shipping. I am going to start with the skirt first. Although I enjoy wearing my pencil skirt every day to work, I am on the hunt for something different. This skirt looks versatile on the model. I was sold by the black and white print. This is how it looks on me:

Looks pretty good right? Not really. This skirt is at least an inch bigger than my natural waist. I am wearing a size 00 in this post (buy it here). I like my pants and skirts to be anchored at my true waist. Continue reading...

Online Boutique: TheLittleShoeStore.com

Today, I am going to talk about shoes. They're not just shoes, they're vintage shoes. I was thrilled that TheLittleShoeStore.com (TLSS) has contacted me for a review of their vintage petite shoes. I never had any problems finding a pair of shoes that fit. However, I totally understand the frustration of women who have small feet. TLSS currently carries shoe sizes from 4 – 5 ½ in stock. Since my shoe size is out of this range, my sister will be modeling in this post. She typically wears a size 3 in girl’s shoes. Continue reading..

Review: Laneige skincare

I don’t have a major acne problem but my skin is still far from perfect. I've been looking for skin care products that would improve, lighten and even out my skin tone for a while. I am overwhelmed with all the skin care products out there and do not know where to start. I turned to some of my favorite beauty bloggers for their experiences.  After doing a bit of research, I decided to try the Laneige skin care products.  I started with two products: the Laneige skin refiner and the Laneige night cream. They are the basic of any skin care routine.  I have always had very dry skin (so dry it flakes), especially in the winter. Therefore, moisturizers are essential for me. Let's start with the Laneige white plus renew skin refiner: Continue reading...

Skin refiner is another term for skin toner. This product also has moisturizers to hydrate the skin. According to product’s description "skin whitening toner that refines and clarifies your skin surface. The product contains papaya extracts and water lily extracts that remove old dead skin cells and impurities on skin surface.”

Review: The Little Bra Company (TLBC)

The petite blogging community is probably very familiar with The Little Bra Company (TLBC). They have generously sponsored many of the petite fashion blogs. After seeing many great reviews, I am so thrilled that they contacted me to do another review for them and also another giveaway for my readers. Stay tuned!

Company overview:

For those of you who aren’t familiar with this brand, TLBC was designed to fit the smaller body proportions of petite women. The line features hard-to-find petite sizes ranging from 28A to 36B. TLBC informed me that C cups will be available in the very near future. Continue reading...

Review: Bebe Petites

Some of you might have heard Bebe launched their petite line a few months ago.  Bebe's petite line is targeted  at women 5’4” and under. I have always been a big fan of them. Bebe carries a nice selection of pencil skirts and it’s almost a guarantee that size zero will fit me. I noticed the other day that more than half of my pencil skirts are from Bebe. Lately, Bebe's style is getting a bit too trendy for me. On the other hand, maybe I should say I am getting too old to wear Bebe clothes. Regardless, I am thrilled that PR agreed to send me a few pieces from their petite line to introduce to my readers.

 


The package arrived at my door the very next day with a cute little note. Bebe has been around forever. We are all familiar with what they have to offer. I received these items two months ago when their petite line first launched. I know people say not to wear white after Labor Day, but the purpose of this review is to (hopefully) give you guys some useful information regarding the petites fit vs. the standard fit. Below are the items they sent me.  At the time, these were the smallest sizes they carried.

What I am wearing:

Jacket: Bebe Petite Hooded City Suit Jacket in 00R (buy it here)

Cami: Lace Trim Seamless Cami in SP (buy it here)

Trouser: Bebe Petite Wide Leg in 2P - Waist taken in (buy it here)

Shoes: Guess peep toes pumps (buy similar here or here)

Necklace: Lia Sophia (buy it here)

Hair Extension: 22" Straight Hair Extension by Jessica Simpson (buy it here)
