by Maria Pierides   Getting the perfect petite summer wardrobe is no easy feat, which is why we can be forgiven for feeling a little disheartened when autumn arrives. However, saying goodbye to summer doesn’t necessarily mean saying goodbye to our summer clothes.

As self-deprecating women, we’ve unfairly spent years reminiscing back to our youth when everything used to fit like a glove (well almost, we’re still petites living in a 6 foot catwalk model world after all) not quite knowing where we’ve gone wrong. But now we’ve realised that it’s not actually us who have changed, and we need to stop beating ourselves up about our body types. We may not be teenagers anymore ..read more

We’ve all dreamt of that fantasy 10 foot walk-in wardrobe and the Hollywood-style dressing room with space for hundreds of handbags, shoes, and accessories. However, we’ve slowly come to realise that being drowned by our wardrobe isn’t necessarily a good thing – especially as a mountain of clothes doesn’t actually guarantee style, as proven by some of the most stylish women we know who have shockingly few clothes. True story. But how can that be, we hear you cry. Style doesn’t come from the amount of clothing you own, rather it comes from what you do with it. It’s all about working with what ..read more
