“Fashion should be enjoyable for every woman no matter what her height,” said Christa Jean, creator and blogger of petitefashionista.com. “Petites are too often an afterthought. Petitefashionista.com wants them to be the main attraction!”

Petitefashionista.com held its first fashion extravaganza at the gorgeous Proof Bar and Sky Lounge on Sunday June 22nd. The event was a tremendous success and SO MUCH FUN!!! Not only did the guests see a fashion show featuring top petite designers from across North America, they were also treated to a complimentary manicure and mini massage. Guests also had the opportunity to shop for stunning petite clothing and accessories while jamming to the beats of DJ L’oquenz.

Ok, ok, so I kind of cheated a little in today’s post. 2 out of the 3 people that you will see today are friends of mine who I ran into while I was trying to find strangers to take pictures of. (What can I say? I hate to work weekends). The second girl is named Allie and was nice enough to pose for me while she was waiting for the streetcar. This resourceful young woman had her laundry packed into a suitcase instead of a laundry bag! How brilliant is that? When I approached her, I saw the suitcase and imagined that she was off to Paris or London. That is the power of a great outfit and chic hairstyle. Thanks to Kelly and Melonie for helping out as well.

There are those who accuse modern day punks of merely dressing the part. This is a very easy look to achieve because there are lots of places to get punk fashion ideas and its way easier to dress like a punk now than it was in the 60’s. Green hair dye and black nail polish were much harder to find back then. Critics of the modern day punk also maintain that the anarchist’s spirit has been lost and that punk is no longer about shaking up the system and causing a commotion. The first young lady in today’s post is proof that the punk spirit is still alive and well. Her outfit definitely has elements of punk and when I saw her, she and her friend were trying to inspire some anarchy on the subway using the mouse that she is pictured with. (They didn’t get very far, and I think a few people just thought it was really funny) Ok so it wasn’t the nicest thing to do but at least their not posers. Vivienne Westwood would be proud.

The second young lady in today’s post was as sweet as the chocolate bars that her shirt advertises. I think that a chocolate logo is worth wearing on a shirt. Great boots too!
