Having spent the last two months racing around Asia and Hawaii (working on a very special project I’m excited to share with all of you), I’m finally back in LA!  After filming all day, I slipped into a LBD, opened a bottle of wine, and enjoyed some quiet time by the fireplace before heading to dinner.  

Working in fashion for the majority of my adult life, I love finding excuses to get dolled up…and if you’re ever pondering over what to wear, you can never go wrong with a little black dress—I own them in multiples.  This one in particular is a fashion forward take on a classic silhouette with its long chiffon sleeves, chic sequin detail, and black / crème juxtaposition.  Sleek and simple, it reminds me of a tux with a feminine flair.  I completed the outfit with a pair of pointy louboutins—adding a layer of elegance and sophistication for the perfect night out.

These last few months of constant travel have undoubtedly been draining, but the excitement I feel starting something of my own, and something I’m so passionate about brings me much joy, fulfillment, and excitement. 





A LITTLE BLACK DRESS I'VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH

Despite having thousands of dress options to choose from, finding the right silhouette proves difficult when you’re petite.

When it comes to fashion, my mom has always taught me it’s less about following trends, and more about finding pieces that truly flatter your body shape and size.  With years of experimenting, I’ve found that A-line silhouettes best fits my 5’2 frame—exaggerating my height, adding length to my legs, and highlighting my waist. 
I gravitate towards classic A-line dresses when I’m looking for an ensemble that’s playful and feminine with a hint of sophistication.  Today, I’m sharing a piece from VIPSHOP—one that easily transitions from desk to dinner with a flirty fit and flare cut that floats as I move.  The cinched waist gives the outfit more structure—nicely balancing out the full skirt, the rich emerald jewel tone adds a touch of elegance, and the stretchy ponte-like fabrication allows for more weight and movement. 





I completed the look with a pair of Valentino bow pumps (one of my more comfortable heels since there’s a thick platform to balance out the heels), and a Marc Jacobs Snapshot Colorblock Camera bag (a piece that’s on trend, convenient, and versatile).

A Dress Silhouette that all Petite Girls Need

Culottes, crop tops, and sandals are the perfect formula for a summer ensemble that’s as comfortable as it is chic.  This culotte and crop top pairing takes my regular tee and jeans look to the next level without compromising comfort. 

The crop top adds a bit of playfulness to the outfit, and these amazing waist high culottes with nautical stripes perfectly offsets it’s shorter textured counterpart.  With summer in full swing, I’m beginning to embrace pieces that allow for worry free movement, and nothing does that better than flowy pants!

This culotte in particular from VIPSHOP is to die for.  A size small fits my 5’2 frame seamlessly—it comes in the softest fabrication, and has a chic polished silhouette.  They’re the perfect alternative for jeans or tailored pants and should be a wardrobe staple in every girls closet.  As a petite girl, it’s a trend I’ve been hesitant to try, but now that I’ve taken the leap of faith, I’m going to be making many more purchases.  Like a skirt or dress, it keeps you cool, but like pants, allows for true ease and comfort of movement for weekend ventures.  The navy color functions like a neutral while bringing a bold pop of color to your outfit.  It’s a trend that’s contemporary and guaranteed to be relevant for years to come!


I paired my culottes with a crop top for a more fashion forward look, but simply tuck in a white silk tank for a more polished, conservative look. 

If you’re as in love with these pants as I am, and are looking to purchase, feel free to use my coupon code Nicole1114 for $5 off your purchase of $50 or more.  Happy shopping!
