blogger spotlight: ma petite chou
Petite fashion blogger, Moi of Ma Petite Chou, blogs voraciously about everything under the sun. Namely, Hollywood fashion, Asian designers, and fantastic finds worldwide.
She kindly accepted my interview. And below, her two cents about her blog, fashion, and what’s hot online.
Tell me a bit about your blog.
It’s a fashion and shopping blog where I talk about fashion trends, where to shop, where you can find great deals and discounts online, my love for shopping, and all things pretty and girly.
Inspiration? Do you have a favorite site or blog?
I frequent so many blogs on a daily basis I could never narrow it down to just one favorite.

You are an avid eBay shopper –- is it easy to find petite sizes?
I find that sellers in Asia offer a much better selection for smaller sizes, which I really like, aside from the ultra-cute and girly style that I’m crazy about. My favorite Asian eBay seller is Ever-Pretty US.

I’m 5′5″, so I’m technically not a petite size. But I wear size 25 or 26 in jeans, or size 2, depending on the store; XS for tops and dresses; 6.5 or 7 for shoes.

Banana Republic | Empire Waist Dress | $148
Any favorite articles of clothing?
My dresses; they are very versatile. I can wear them in so many ways, dressing them up or down. So, I have lots of fun with them. I love dresses from H&M, Le Chateau, Banana Republic, Mango, and Zara, among many, many others.
Shopping haunts?
I’m located in a small town an hour away from Toronto, Canada. So, If I want to do some serious shopping, I go to Toronto and shop ‘til I drop at the larger shopping malls, such as Yorkdale and Eaton’s Centre — these are my favorites.

My choice stores: Le Chateau, Aldo, H&M, Banana Republic, Club Monaco, Mexx, and Jacob. I also spend an obscene amount of time on online stores like Style Violet, Rampage, Lulu’s Fashion Lounge, Shopbop, Girlshop, Intermix, Mandee, YesStyle, GoJane, Daisymaze, Cutesyshoes, and so many others.
Your most recent purchase?
Ultra low-rise boyshorts from Garage Clothing. They have the cutest prints on them — I got some with monkeys and hippos — and they are insanely comfortable.
Any words of petite shopping wisdom?
Although I haven’t done it, a petite friend (at 5′0″ tall) buys clothes in children’s section (usually for girls, age 10-14). She has a closet filled with cute skirts and tops that fit her just right.
