Short Lady Chronicles/Tips

Frequently asked question ;"How do you manage to always look so good in all your outfits.?"
The usual when i bump into someone and I'm dressed down;"You so short,you never this short when you all dressed up."

Today,for some reason,that i am not sure of myself.Such questions and compliments,or however you may wanna look at them,are dominating my mind.So as the saying goes,if you can't stop thinking about something,write it down,and it will go away.So thats what I'm doing,sharing tricks that i use to stay stylish,even though i am short.

Short Ladies Hello...
If you go through my outfits,you will notice that i usually wear slim belts,or like wearing outfits that will allow me to cinch my waist.It's not a style statement,or an obsession.I actually do it because it makes me appear taller,or rather,longer in the outfit that i am wearing.It's a saver!


  • Most of my pumps are pointed,i wear a lot of pointed court heels as well.Especially when wearing something short,like a skirt.Why?Well because yes,short girl chronicles.My legs look longer that way...

  • How do i survive with jeans?I am not sure how i survived before,but now i am very thankful for cropped jeans and the style of folding them.I literally fold almost every normal jean i wear.But my first option is always getting a cropped jean.For short people,these are  perfect,they become a normal size jean.Also opt for high waisted jeans/trousers/pencil skirts,it  gives the impression that you are taller,or have longer legs.Which is what we want,right?

  • LBD's or all black outfits are said to make you look slimmer,but they also work well in making you seem tall.
Lastly,because one never gives out all their secrets *inserts hidden face emoticon*
Heels.I mean obviously,heels mean stolen height.Even small heels make a difference,find a height or type that you are comfortable with,and rock them with your outfits,for days that you could do with habit of height.Because lets face it,we can embrace being short because blah,blah,blah,but there are days that we would like to seem tall as well.

And thats just about it,one day,hopefully soon i will share tips on how to avoid drowning in your own clothes when your a short girl.Please do share,if you try any of these tips and they actually work for you as well.

My 2017 Glow Up Products


2017 has been a year of GlowUp for many,including myself.After a lot of trial and errors with many products,i finally found what works for me.

I had an uneven skin tone,random break-outs that usually left me with a lot of dark spots to get rid of,and from time to time,my skin would get dull and tired.
With the year coming to an end,and with all the hype of summer,flawless skin and natural glows,i thought i would share my top picks.


1.I wash my face with Black Soap,but every second day i use the Garnier Pure Active 3in1 Clay wash,to get rid of dead skin cells.My skin has been loving me for it.

2.I cleanse and tone my face with Tea Tree Oil products from Body Shop.It has reduced my dark spots,i have also since said good-bye to alot of them.

3.Daily before my moisturizer,Even & Lovely,i use vitamin C from body shop,then Eucerin sunscreen.Daily!I now,happily have a everyday natural glow,even before washing my face in the morning.I am more confident then i use to be without any make-up.Some days i lipstick and go.And my skin still does the things...

4.Now for Make-Up,as seen on my picks from last year 2016.Estee Lauder is still my number one,i have tried several other brands,but nothing levels up.However,i have now added spring thermal water,as seen on supporting pictures.I use it as a setting spray,when my skin break-outs,when travelling and after long days in the sun and well,whenever i feel like it,after washing my face.Its very refreshing!


5.Lastly,as much as i hate it,i have trained myself to drink more water.Steam my face more often,use a mask atleast once a week,and try to get a full facial monthly.All this is still a work in progress,but is giving me good results,alongside my skincare products.

Though i have found my routine,i would still love to know what's been working for you.so please do share.A picture with all the products under comments will also do...
