Neon and pastels. Both are major trends this season and I’m really leaning towards more of the pastel look so when I cam across this photo I felt inspired and I hope you will too. I love the peachy color of her dress combined with the minty green accessories for accents.

Will you be wearing pastels for Spring? What are your favorite colors?

Twiggy (5’5) was the shortest runway model in American history and she was a supermodel! When I look at pictures of Twiggy, I always forget that she is just 5’5. She carries herself with such amazing confidence and grace.

Feel inspired by the 1960′s Twiggy look too? Find it below!

A few weeks ago I shared a post about the new face of BCBGMAXAZRIA contest. Little did I know, this inspired fellow petite, Ariana Villegas to enter the contest!

Here is Ariana’s entry:

“I’m 5 feet tall, I don’t have the modelesque figure and my facial bone structure is average. I think I am the face of BCBGMAXAZRIA Spring 2013 because I am not the cookie cutter model. The brand always showcases clean, simple and sophisticated designs in their clothes. I rarely saw over-the-top clothes from BCBGMAXAZRIA. I always interpreted this as a statement that the BCBGMAXAZRIA woman does not need complicated and elaborate clothes to exude her confidence and individuality. The BCBGMAXAZRIA woman is comfortable with who she is and loves her flaws. I am definitely not perfect in a lot of ways but I try to work things out by accepting my imperfections and using these to find my individuality and inner glow. At the end of the day, these flaws make me uniquely chic and that makes me a BCBGMAXAZRIA woman.”

Go Ariana!! I always love to hear about petite women going after what they love so I’m supporting Ariana by voting and hope that you will vote for her as well! We have to support petite models everywhere!

Vote for Ariana here and show her your support! You can vote multiple times through Facebook and Twitter too.

Hurry, voting ends March 29, 2012.

I know, I know — another reality show, another competition. This one’s got my attention though.

NBC’s new reality competition show, “Fashion Star“ premieres tonight with two of my favorite petite celebrities Jessica Simpson (5’3) and Nicole Richie (5’1) on the judging panel.

Fourteen designers will have the chance to show mini collections to both the mentoring judges (Simpson, Richie and John Varvatos) as well as a panel of buyers judges from H&M, Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue. Ultimately the buyers have the final vote and the retailer with the highest offer will manufacture the outfit and have it available in stores the morning after the show airs.

Crazy huh! I am at least interested enough to try it out and see what it’s like. Just don’t tell anyone over at Project Runway.

Will you be watching? If so, let me know what you think! The show premieres at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.

Here’s a couple clips from Nicole and Jessica regarding their own personal style and inspiration.
