http://petitefashionscene.today.com All things fashion for those 5 ft. 4 and under Fri, 06 Jun 2008 09:55:01 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Continuing in the Olsen vein from a couple of days ago, today's Celebriday features Ashley Olsen, one half of that multi-million (or is it billion?) earning pair. Now the Olsen twins have matured into right beautiful young ladies with a quirky sense of fashion, for the most part. Some days ... http://petitefashionscene.today.com/2008/06/06/celebriday-ashley-olsen/ No, I'm not talking about anyone's height here, I'm talking about a new venture started by a petite woman whose friends and family all came to her (since she's handy with a sewing machine) for alterations. She decided to start up her own business because even petite pants are sometimes too ... http://petitefashionscene.today.com/2008/06/05/5-ft-2-in-tm/ In theory, I'm a fan of the tunic. It can be casual or elegant...sometimes both. Tall, willowy women usually look fantastic in tunics when paried with slim pants or even nothing at all. That's why I'm a fan in theory--this isn't a flattering look for petites most of the time. However, ... http://petitefashionscene.today.com/2008/06/04/the-tunic-to-wear-or-not-to-wear/ Whenever you can, you should try and match your shoes to your slacks. Of course, this isn't always possible, but when wearing black slacks, black shoes are the way to go. But what do you do when you're wearing a skirt? While you won't always be able to sport a shoe ... http://petitefashionscene.today.com/2008/06/03/why-the-nude-shoe-works/ Believe it or not, it took me quite a while to warm up to the cropped cardi. Then again, in my younger days, I used to not follow many of the petite fashion rules, so I probably looked like Cousin Itt most of the time. Anyway, the cropped cardi! I am simply loving ... http://petitefashionscene.today.com/2008/06/02/the-cropped-cardi/ With the recent release of the Sex and the City movie, we're going to focus today's Celebriday on one of the film's stars, Sarah Jessica Parker. Please tell me I'm not the only one who remembers her from her Square Pegs days! Boy, talk about coming a long way. Personally, I like ... http://petitefashionscene.today.com/2008/05/30/celebriday-sarah-jessica-parker/ Contrary to popular belief in some circles, petite women come in a range of sizes, not just size 2. What's a plus size lady to do when other people equate the term "petite" with "waif"? Find shops that cater to your particular size, of course. Avenue, which has long supplied women ... http://petitefashionscene.today.com/2008/05/29/plus-size-petites/ Well, it's hot enough to feel like summer already, at least where I live, so that means Swimsuit Season is upon us. Even though swimsuits are barely-there items of clothing, petite women can choose swimwear that makes us look taller. Although I love boy shorts because they're perfect for hiding not-so-perfect ... http://petitefashionscene.today.com/2008/05/28/its-almost-summertime/ I have to admit, I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to undergarments. And when I say undergarments, I mean exactly that. They should remain under your clothes and not be seen (trashy celebrity trends aside). The thing is, with all of our options in fashion, you sometimes need ... http://petitefashionscene.today.com/2008/05/27/37/ Our second Celebriday features Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, who stands a petite 5'1 or 5'2, depending on which profile you're reading. Does that one inch matter? Not when you're this stunning. This dress really works for Eva and would for any petite women with similar shapes. The deep V-neck is almost ... http://petitefashionscene.today.com/2008/05/23/celebriday-eva-longoria/
