Find me here

Hello dear friends,

Last post, I hinted I was working on a new project.  I'm excited to reveal it's now up and running.
I've packed up my belongings and moved it to petite street and this is where you'll find me sharing the little things in life that I love.

On The Loh-Down I've often shared what it's like to be a petite little one.  How it can be problematic finding shoes and clothing which is why I've decided to start petitestreet, a place where it's a celebration of all things small and stylish.

A mixture of fashion, celebrities, street style and homewares, come join the celebration and check it out.

Back from hibernation

Where have I been?  During my brief hiatus I've been working on some fun self-projects, reading, watching and listening.

Here's a short and sweet update of what I've been up to:

• I've been watching: Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and Girls, the new HBO series which I find refreshing yet I can't actually decide if I actually enjoy watching it.

• I've been reading: Plenty.  Hunger Games, A Game of Thrones, my Fujifilm x100 camera manual and other camera related books to list a few. Lots and lots of magazines.  I've been popping into Magnation every second week and it's been dangerous to say the least. But it's all in the name of research - more on that perhaps in another post.

• I've been listening to: Grimes, Janelle Monae, Passion Pit and The Rubens (check them out here).  I'm not sure how sharing wearehunted playlists actually works but let's experiment and see if that works.

• Exciting new purchases:  Too many to list.  I can firmly say it's high time I stop unnecessary spending... until next weekend. I've named my sexy Fujifilm x100, Gertrude.  She's absolutely beautiful.  I can also add a Lover dress to that list and a pair of Cheap Monday high waisted jeans which I'm still trying to figure out what I should pair it with.

Well, until next time stay tuned via Pinterest & instagram (@tiffalo)

Red delicious

Check out Bossie at the Sundance Film Festival 2012. How much do you want to don a bright red lip after seeing this pic? I'm loving how perfectly matte it is against her luminous and bronzed skin.  My friend Heather, bought an amazing NARS lip crayon which achieves this red delicious look beautifully.  Get the look here.

This pay day's wishlist

A.P.C boots, sass & bide top, Topshop jeans and jacket,
Pamela Love necklace, A.P.C tote

Jalouse

It had been years since I had picked up a copy of Jalouse magazine.  Back in my interning days, I used to flick through a copy before filing it away on the reference bookshelf every few weeks.  Standing in the newsagents at Charles de Gaulle airport, my eyes scanned the Women's Lifestyle section for reading material for the two very long flights ahead.  It was the long (fake) mane of Chloe Moretz  which caught my eye. It was her stance, the skirt and that stare in her eyes which somehow reminded me of Where The Wild Things Are and made me want to pick up and purchase the mag despite the fact I can't read French.  

From that moment in Paris, let's fast forward two weeks to the moment when  a friend tweeted about this video which caught her eye. There's something about it which I find so compelling that a week and a half later, I'm still watching it.  I can't quite figure out if it's the quirky coolness of the magazine or the actual unorthodox publicity video which I like more. Either way, watch it and I can guarantee you'll want to be Ashley Smith (even if it's just a little bit).

Saturday morning treats

After being woken up at 6:30am by my next-door neighbour's atrocious singing, I eventually fell back asleep and woke up at 10:30am - a more reasonable hour for a Saturday. I rushed to the post office to picked up a parcel (my new Comme des Garçons wallet) and cooked myself a very yummy brunch.
