blogger spotlight: petite fashionista

petite fashionista I recently chatted with the lovely and talented Christa MacLellan about fashion, petite shopping, and her blog. She lives in Toronto, where she writes about her life and what it’s like to be a petite fashionista.

Velvet, Enjoy, Forever 21, Joe’s Jeans, Lululemon, and H&M.

How tall are you? And what size do you wear?

What is your favorite article(s) of clothing? And, why?
My Petite Provocateur jeans by Joe’s Jeans. And dresses, like my mini summer dress from the 70s. It’s blue and purple, and effortlessly fabulous. I have sooo many favourite summer dresses, as that’s pretty much all I wear from the end of May to August. I will go to a vintage shop in the spring and buy at least 10 dresses that have potential. Then I bring them home, cut them to minis, and make any other needed alterations. And, voila! A summer wardrobe for around $50. You can take a hot pink muumuu and make it look runway-fresh in 10 minutes.

Tell me about your blog. What would you like my readers to know about it?
I blog about what I find interesting, entertaining, and helpful as a petite. Sometimes it’s the style of a petite celeb, or the savvy petite woman on the street. Just whenever I read or see something that’s worth sharing.

Anything new and exciting you’ve found? Petite brands, shopping etc?

I love the brand Tamiece out of San Francisco — these gals have created a petite line that is youthful, sexy, and playful. I really hope they make it. They are truly unique!

Anything else you would like my readers to know?

Most importantly, I want readers to understand that being petite means that you are under 5′4″ — in any size. You can be a size 12 petite! I think that’s a common misconception. With my blog, I hope to appeal to petites of every shape and size.
