Petite Impact

This is a guest review from Angie who was gracious enough to send me all of these photos and a review of each piece.  Thank you so much Angie!  I totally agree with you on unicorns and moths! "I have wanted to get a new wallet for a while.  I first learned about the gorgeous Nocturnal design from Alexander McQueen collection from Petite Impact's review of the key holder . I was instantly enamored. I am a child of the 80’s, who doesn’t want a unicorn on their wallet along with a few pretty blue moths?!  I was not sure which wallet I wanted so I ordered a few to look at, as there aren't any stores close to me in Minnesota that carried these beauties.  I found out that most of the stores that carry Alexander McQueen offer free shipping and returns, i.e. Alexander McQueen online store, Nordstrom, Saks and Neiman Marcus. Just a tiny tidbit, you can find these listed on European sites and pay less due to the currency exchange rate. (clockwise: top left key holder,

Not much to report for today but there are a few items worth nothing in case you don't want to scroll through all 200+ items, I give you the best of the crop right here.  Ebates is 4% cash back now. Cool Racerback II in Rose Quartz $39 Cool Racerback II in Mini Hounds Camo $39 Cool Racerback II Power Purple $34 Fluff Off Pullover is now $99 from $158 Wunder Under Crop in Midnight Bloom $59 from $88 Speed Short in Mini Obscured Dusty Mauve $49 (I have this and absolutely love them I have extra photos modeling here ) In other news, I received the Florence Wunder Speed Tights and sorry to say I am not impressed.  I think I actually prefer it in the Marble Mix.  I'll have a review of those up soon.  

The Geisha legging is my favorite from Werkshop's Zen Garden collection .  The artwork on it is beautifully done.  The colors are gorgeous.  So I was super excited to finally get them last week, but as soon as I tried them on I knew they didn't work on petite gals.  This made me really sad because the print is so amazing. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and usually a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms. Geisha Full Length One of the most challenging things about being super petite is finding clothes that does not make us look short.  If something makes my legs look loooooong, it's a keeper.  In the photo above, you can see the face of the Geisha takes up almost half of my leg lengthwise.  And it draws the eye downwards making my leg look short.  There's not much to go after the neckline of her kimono = short legs.  I also think the white band on the lower part of the legging near my shin, doesn't help either.  The next photo highlights this even more so.  

I think it's safe to say winter weather gear has officially landed!  Woo hoo!  Not that I need another jacket, BUT I'm really digging the First Mile Jacket.  I'm having a hard time decided which color to order this in.  Too many choices!  And finally the Florence Speed Wunders have arrived.  That only took over a month.  Don't forget to use Ebates 8% Cash Back !  Oh and Happy Shopping!
