It has been many months since I have posted for my blog and feel it is the time to say goodbye and move on to other subjects.
I still want to write a blog for a more personal accompaniment to my wedding plans and inspiration. And also I feel this one may be more relaxed in the frequency of undated.
I have enjoyed sharing my journey through the fashion world with you and I may see you again soon but in a different light.
But until then, farewell for now and to all those petite ladies out there. Never give up on looking fabulous.

Wedding Bells
A very happy day for me yesterday. I found and bought my wedding dress!
As you may have guessed from my last post. I imagined the search for that perfect dress was going to take me forever. And alot of adjustments to it once I had found it.
But, I found it. And guess where I found it.
NEW LOOK!! Yep. I was wondering around and I couldnt belive it. Its a gorgouse luchius, cream lace dress. Three quater length sleeeves. High scooping lenchth. Quite unique and amost fifties style to it.
I tried it on and felt great. So mature, so comfortabel and well just wonderfull.
And what really clinched it for me was the feeling I had wearing it and buying it. I had butterflies and couldnt stop smiling.
And i know, that is how a girl is meant to feel when she buys her wedding dress.
In my view at the end of the day, if you feel amazing like that, it doesnt matter how much it is and where it comes from. All that matters is if it flartters you and makes you look and feel gorgous.
The other great upside to saving money on my dress means i can put that money towards a lovely pair of shoes, that are in my size but are 'grown up' shoes. My first pair of designer shoes. Im looking foreward to shopping for those very muchly.
As my mum didnt get to come dress shopping with me, well I sent her pictures and had her on the phone to get her oppinion, we'll be going shoe shopping and accessorie shopping instead, which I think is going to be just as fun.
And she'll be taking my dress home with her so we'll still be keeping to some mother daughter tradditions.
I've done some research on the internet for some ideas on what style of shoes I would like and have found a couple that I really like. So I thought I'd share one those in this post.

White wedding = Big, long and poofy. Not for this little lady.
Last Christmas was a big and lovely one for two reasons. It was a christmas that Stew and I spent just the two of us, for the first time.
But also it was two years ago that Stew proposed to me on funnily enough, Christmas day.
And so, as we have reached our second year of being engaged, I am getting quite eager to tie the not. That and we do get asked, quite often, if we have set a date yet.
We do know what month we want to get married. But it's hard to say a year when we haven't been able to even start saving yet.
Unfortunately money is the lynch in the plans and really the only thing.
We've found a place and have got pretty much everything down as far as what we want for the day. Which I must say isn't a bad thing. The more I know now, the less stress for when the time comes :)
The one thing I don't feel so certain about is of course what dress to wear. My tastes have changed over the months. Going from sleek, slinky silk, Grecian style with flowing tule.
But a few things I've said no to in the past, ive been re thinking.
Big puffy dresses with mirrangue, (please excuse the spelling) are a no no. I don't really want to get drowned in a sea of silk and material on my wedding day.
I originally thought that a corset sleeveless top wouldn't suit me. I felt like it would eventuate my collar bone ( which I'm not a fan of) and make me look more skinny. But I have found that saving grace. Sweetheart neck line. Its using a stylish and pretty line but with more shape to it so it's not to harsh on the neck line.
That find lead me to some gorgeous dresses, in tulle but are shaped to he waist but flow at the skirt and look amazing.
I quite like the idea of a kind of wrap around look leading to my hips.
I think this will help show off what tiny curves I do have and hopefully help my figure look more mature and womanly than boy like.
The other thing I've been thinking about is the length. Id love to have a long flowing dress. Obviously I'd need it taken up like.. Miles lol but still every girl dreams of that flowing train. My dream is floaty and light. Not heavy and bulky.
But lately I've been wondering if a shorter dress would suit me.
I tried on a long dress in Debenhams and I couldn't help wonder if it swamped me and made me look shorter.
It was really when I went to new Look and tried on an evening dress, made from a Tule like material and it came to just below my knees. And I felt really good in it and it did show off my legs in a good way. Not short and nobbely knees like I usually feel in a dress with out tights.
I am still a bit dubious. Worried that a shorter dress would make me look like a little girl and a bit frumpy.
I think all I can do is try some on and see what makes me feel good. It's like they say, when you know, you know.
Are there any lovely ladies out there getting hitched soon who have had to think about these tricky dress issues?

New shoooes!!!
Hello there ladies.
Yet again I have let the blogging world down and have been very lacking in my posts.
I was hoping to upload the photos that I promised previously But unfortunately my back has been playing up as of late so for now I shall have to share my wonderful news about the new shoes I bought the other week.
It seemed like no sooner had January arrived, I have lost my patients with winter and am very much looking forward to the warmer weather.
And so in my bid to quench my thirst for those sunny days, I bought myself a pair of lovely new canvas pumps from, yes you guessed it, New Look. They are very comfortable and I feel
Most of this is down to the extra support they have in the arch. It seems to have a more cushioned sole which is raided slightly at the position of the heel of the foot.
They were a great deal too, at £8.99 o couldn't go wrong really. And I'm hoping to get the other pair which are a cute coral pink. (The ones I have now are navy)
So here they are, my babies.

Hello again and Happy New year
Id like to start by wishing all my readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year. I hope you all had a lovely holiday .
Next on the agenda is my apologies. It's been a very long time since my last post and this one is well over due.
To be honest I did get out of the way of it, some of it being that I've been very busy and of course we had Christmas. But the other reason being that I've ha a drop in my self confidence and I didn't think it right that I be posting about my pride in being petite when I wasn't enjoying my 4"11 stature of late. I've been getting a little cross with it lately too for some reason.
But I've had a talk with my lovely fiancé and he has made me feel a lot better about myself.
And so, I thought its about time I got back on the horse and start blogging again.
Over the break I have been fortunate to find a few very nice outfits and accessories. And what's been very nice is finding quite a few of them, mostly tops, in good ole size 6. Thank you New Look. :) Which has helped lift my confidence.
I'm I'll with the flu at the moment so I won't be horrifying with photos of me modelling my new buys, looking gross so tomorrow I'll be taking photos of just the items. And of corse a run down of where I bought them.
So until then. Hope you are all well., and I promise you will not have to wait months do the next post.
