Reading is stylish featuring Joe Fresh skirt

Hey Girls,

You may have noticed my fashion features involving reading recently and I do think fashion and reading can unite and I love reading. It makes me happy to read. I hope you have enjoyed the previous features of my favorite books wearing some of my favorite fashions and stay tuned for more. Because reading is stylish! ~Isobella

P.s: the pics below prove that short chicks can wear longer skirts. Tuck in your shirt and look longer.

Short and Stylish wearing Strawberry skirt and button up shirt

Hey Girls,

Today I'm wearing a skirt and a button up shirt from Strawberry, so cute right! And together were under $30.  Also wearing tights from Wolford and shoes from Nina shoes. As I mentioned in a previous post I am wearing the skirt a size medium, purposely bigger than my usual smalls and xs sizes because I didn't wanted this skirt to be super super tight, and a medium gives this stretch fabric a bit more stretch and tames it down for day time wear. I think wearing the button up shirt (size small) not tucked in gives the look a more casual feel, perfect reading outfit after a long day.

Height isn't everything.

P.s: Below I'm reading 2011 edition of the The World Almanac that I meant to give to my father last year before he passed away, but now I can read and enjoy it, like he would have.

Short and Stylish tip: going up a size for stretch fabrics and tame down a tight skirt sometimes

Hey Girls,

Have you ever seen a cute skirt skirt but thought, that's a bit too sexy to wear every day....
Well I was in Strawberry store the other day outside Grand Central and I found this wicked cute stretch skirt but I ended up getting it in a size medium, even though I could have worn the small, because you know walking around the city I don't need to be harassed more than usual, and the medium fits slightly less tight and it's something I can wear around the city running errands and also to a meeting or dinner with the girlfriends.

Sometimes going up a size for stretch fabrics can work for petites especially if the skirt is tight to begin with to tame down the ROAR in your strut.

Wearing my skrit from Strawberry here in Madison Park today in the city.

More pics in the skirt coming soon.

Hey Petite's!

If it doesn't come in your size, make it your size: you might remember this Eddie Bauer skirt from Halloween pics below, but I plan to wear more often, I bought it at Housing Works on 23rd Street for $10 (Loved the fabric) and was 4 sizes too big and a lot longer, and had the tailor take it in and hemmed above my knee, and the extra fabric from the length makes for a perfect scarf too :) also today was reading some of Chanel: A Women of her Own (great book) which you can find at BN.com or Amazon.com :)

My adventures at Joe Fresh today and petite perspective

Hey Girls,

I stopped by Joe Fresh's Pop Up store on Madison Avenue yesterday. The man behind Club Monaco, Joseph Mimran, is taking over NYC. And you will see Joe Fresh stores coming in November on Fifth Avenue and also at 34th Street.

The staff was so attentive and kind (and consisted of petite/short chicks!) and one sweet lady snapped some pics of me in the dressing room with my iPhone :) The dress  below is $39 and shoes are also Joe Fresh. There is a nice collection of shoes in the store too. I'm wearing an XS (little big) could be me though, but petite chicks can find something for sure inside this store, I think the fit is similar to an Express store or an H&M. Joe Fresh has a nice amount of range preppy to casual and sporty, basic shirts to vests and dresses,  skirts, coats and a great amount of jeans too, there's a lot of product, even gloves and scarfs, a lot more product than I thought. Big dressing rooms.

I loved the camel colors I saw and grays and the store has a preppy, mature, classy look, it's not wild or 'loud clothing' and the styles don't scream but they are attention grabbing still, so depending on your style I think you'd find something you could wear often.

Some pics from my adventures in Joe Fresh so far:

prancing around midtown

Hey Girls, I hope your weekend has been inspiring and memorable. Was prancing around midtown in my Gap tweed coat, Tommy Hilfiger Women's Brit Ballet Flat, and Levi's Curve ID jeans and Ralph Lauren shirt I got for a steal at  Marshalls and Hunting World handbag. I mix it up. :) ~Isobella

home made brunch: Made veggie scrambled eggs tortillas today

Hey suit designers, design some more for petites please!

Hey Girls,

So if you saw the The 63rd Annual Emmy Awards, then you saw Jane Lynch's suit, no not track-suit, I'm talking about her walking on stage with, no that's not me, it's Paula Abdul and aren't they hot in matching bad ass pant suits?!

I think so. Pint-Size Paula pulled it off really well, but it got me thinking, what's a short chick to do when it comes to finding a pant suit, or a blazer and skirt? And it got me Gooling. Here are some finds:

Was glad to see a petite section for suits at Macy's. Not sure the length is going to work out though, but...maybe.

At Bloomingdales I didn't find any suits when I searched petite, but found some Tahari and Nanette Lepore in smaler sizes, but that doesn't mean the length is petite friendly.

At JCPenney, I was happy to see their petite section online and found these.

At Forever21, I didn't see any pant suits, for girls anyways, I wonder if they'll add some? It would be smart. But I found these blazers which are cute for all sizes.

I would also try a T.J Maxx, Marshalls and Kohl's for pant suits and blazer's too.

Hunting for more of that sophisticate bad-ass look...

In Petite Model Isobella Jade's closet: short chicks wearing poofy dresses

Hey Girls,

It is too hot to run around in heels today so I am running around my living room showing you the summer dress I am wearing today while I get stuff done in doors until the heat goes down a little. This is an example of a short chick wearing a dress with a wide poofy bottom...it doesn't always work well, but when the dress is about your shoulders it works out better for a petite. Also, a wider dress actually can make a shorter girl look leaner up top if the upper half is fitted or has thin straps.Watch this video here: http://www.youtube.com/isobellajade

Special Nina shoes coupon for my readers StandTall shorties

Hey Girls,

I've got a surprise for you! I am sure you love shoes as much as me, and recently I put up a video on Youtube and on this blog flaunting some very cute Nina shoes.

Well guess what! Starting right now, you can get 30% off Nina shoes with my coupon code.

Here's the code: StandTall

http://www.ninashoes.com/

Here are some of my favorite suggestions of Nina shoes, which are bound spread some pazazz even when it's cold outside.

The RAVINE, closed-toe, 4 inch heel, in red is very festive and cute, I think a girl should always own a pair (or two) of red heels, -I do!   (the Ravine would be very cute with fishnets)

The Evelixa, Peep-Toe Pumps, 4 inch heel also in red is smokin'!

The Evadne, Peep-Toe Pumps, in a pretty cabernet, with 4 inch heel, with the lace detail, are nice with a sweater dress or classic black dress to a special dinner or a party. I'm liking it!

Walking in a winter wonderland, these Nabal - Peep-Toe Pumps, in Ivory luster, with a 4.5 inch heel, are cute! 

Whoo hoo, enjoy using the StandTall coupon code and 30% off.  Happy Holidays and of course feel free to send me photos of yourself wearing them to petitepride@yahoo.com, and be featured on this blog!

More to come!

Saw a huge ad for GUESS at the NY Stock Exchange today

Btw, today I was stopping by my favorite cobbler Mina's shoe repair. (They have shops on 67 Wall (between Hanover St & Pearl St and on 40 Exchange Place.)

I often go to 40 Exchange Place and see Mina's wife, she is so sweet. She even came to my book party for my graphic novel Model Life.

Seriously, I pound the pavement of NYC, I always bust up my shoes, and the best shoe repair in NYC: Minas Shoe Repair I am there often actually, I might to see you there.  I used to actually live at 63 Wall, and now I don't but I do hike over to the area just to get my shoes fixed :)

After I dropped off my shoes, I walked past the NY Stock Exchange and I saw this GUESS ad. kinda cool.

~Isobella

P.s: Also aren't these navy Nina shoes so cute!

I would so rock!  I like my shoes to have a personality of their own.
