Pioneered with the aid of my fashion idol, the aggregate of tweed and pearls has this sort of simple elegance to it. i like the top half of this outfit, however oh, drat these reasonably-priced H&M pants! I wear them loads because the rich color is so versatile, however every time I see photos I want to burn them and get a exceptional pair.

a while returned, Anna of UniQUEEN (based totally in Toronto) contacted me to try some of her petite-friendly Korean apparel. on the time I declined, but supplied up a few feedback. although Korean casualwear is state-of-the-art and lovely, I mentioned that i'd love to look extra stylish, fashionable portions to be had as properly. I feel like petite ladies can presently locate low priced and nicely-fitting casualwear from a spread of retailers (ASOS, hole, H&M, F21, LOFT, urban clothes shops, and so on...). it's with paintings clothes, blazers, and coats while the options get constrained. What do you men think?
Malang Tweed Blue1
closing month, this excellent piece in her keep caught my eye. i've been hunting for a collarless tweed jacket to satisfy my Coco styling goals, and this one suit the invoice. It is available in a female infant red/blue as well as a chic army blue/teal combination - difficult choice. i've acquired such a lot of compliments on this jacket, and wanted to do a complete overview for you guys.

style: conventional and collarless, with four useful pockets and fringe trim. I think the perimeter at the sleeve establishing is a touch an excessive amount of, and hid it just with the aid of cuffing it. pink is absolutely covered in a satiny fabric, and blue is heavier in weight and coated in a quilted fabric. replace: each jackets are now lined in a heavier quilted fabric, making them extra like warm jackets than blazers.

Sizing: is available in two sizes, S and M. The measurements supplied on line for a sz S are 14.5" shoulders (14" earlier than the padding), 17.four" bust, 18.five" sleeve duration, and 20" total period. searching at the bust dimension, i used to be doubtful about how this will fit. Upon receiving the jacket, however, I noticed that the front evidently overlaps a bit. while lying absolutely flat with the front overlapped, the bust of my sz S measures 16.five" throughout, with 20" lengthy sleeves. per Anna, the blue/teal has 2" longer sleeves.

Fit: : length S suits me in the shoulders (most essential), is barely unfastened in the torso, and the the front flaps overlap. given that it's an open-fashion jacket, I don't thoughts a few torso room. One alteration i'm considering is shortening the hem an inch or two, to hit above my hips. At four'11" and three-quarters (Nick just measured and wouldn't deliver me the final sector), i'm on the shorter facet, even among petites. The right garment duration is fundamental to retaining my proportions.

note: i love how on the lowest of each object listing, UniQUEEN provides the model's measurements for reference. The female modeling this jacket is 160cm / five'three" tall, with a 25" waist.

exceptional / cost: i am inspired by using the jacket workmanship and the tweed combo. No cloth label (no longer required in Asia), so I count on it's frequently polyester. *up to date rate (as of 2012) for new colours is $117.eighty one. The price isn't always cheap, but my Zara juniors tweed jacket retails for the identical, and the UniQUEEN one is fantastically higher nice.

payment/delivery: Ships to US, Canada, and the United Kingdom. PayPal general. there may be a promo occurring till 11/27 totally free delivery, however it's far uninsured and un-tracked for the us. in case you live in Toronto, you could in reality prefer to do nearby pickup and get a fifteen% discount as an alternative! I trust returns are for credit score most effective, except the item is faulty. due to the fact this is a brand new save, please email information@myuniqueen.com when you have any troubles or questions. I had an extended list of them and Anna became so responsive - this is why i love small commercial enterprise proprietors.

final weekend, my pricey friend Vi -in the sunny yellow dress- turned into again from Texas. We crammed ourselves silly with brunch on Newbury St. rapidly after (likely whilst Nick and that i were aimlessly wandering H&M), her then-boyfriend got down on one knee and proposed to her in the Boston Public lawn. I still can't believe I missed it!

I bear in mind the fruitless nights as Vi's wing-woman out in Boston, so i will smell a "keeper" from afar : ) They had been pals for over 10 years before figuring out that each different was the only. i am so very satisfied for them, and can't wait to attend my first ginormous Vietnamese wedding in Texas!
