Blogs from the heart. Cute and Little.

I had been waiting to do an interview with Kileen from Cute and Little because she has been a little busy. As in she just got married and then went on an African safari. She is an amazing blogger who always seems to find the time to stay in touch with her readers, and has built a tight knit community.She is all the way from Dallas Texas.

Cute and little is a little slice of heaven for petite fashionistas. Kileen comes in at 5 foot tall, and the way normal fits can be a problem. She shares her tips, and tricks on dressing a petite frame. Kileen still has a feminine, and modern style that is bursting it color regardless of her height.

One of her biggest projects is The Color Brigade. Every Tuesday her blog brings a world of color into the blogging community. To participate you have to wear at least 3 colors, link up your post on her blog, and have a color brigade badge on your blog. Don't forget to check out the other entries to get tons of inspiration each week.

You can also find her on Bloglovin', Youtube, Twitter, Chictopia, and Facebook.

Why did you start blogging?
When I found a community of petite bloggers that were just like me, I wanted to join in and share my fashion sense with others out there. I was instantly drawn into a world where people were so supportive my efforts and I loved the learning process that came with sharing my daily outfits too!

What is your favorite thing about blogging?
My favorite thing about blogging is all the new friends I've made! I've met so many amazing bloggers (and non-bloggers!) through my blog and my life has been tremendously enriched as a result. Blogging has definitely opened up my world!

Why do you think having your own unique personal style is important?
A person's style is an expression of themselves. Fashion is as much a statement as something that's spoken or written. Every person is different and thus every person's style is different. Although we are all inspired by each other, each person ultimately will put their own spin on making an outfit their own. And that's what makes fashion amazing! 


What color or print combination have you been loving lately?
I've been loving bold reds, oranges, and corals recently. Somehow they just scream summer to me and I can't get enough of them! Regardless of whether I pair them with other brights or tone it down with neutrals, I just love outfits that incorporate these rich hues. 


What is your favorite item of clothing, or accessory?
Omigoodness...just one?!! Wow, this is hard. I would have to say my favorite piece of the moment is my Lace Chantilly Dress from Forever 21. I've been loving lace this season and this dress can be dressed both up and down and the lace overlay is absolutely gorgeous. I would probably sleep in this dress if I could!

What are your favorite stores to shop at on a budget?
Forever 21 and H&M (thank goodness Dallas is getting their own H&M store this fall!)

What is your best money saving fashion tip?
It's easy to impulse buy when shopping online. What I do is I force myself to wait at least 2 days before checking out online. You'd be surprised how your feelings towards something can change in that amount of time. I've found that oftentimes I will not feel as strongly about certain items anymore and don't feel the urge to purchase it anymore. Trust me, I've saved hundreds using this technique!

  3. STOP IT! She's adorable! I'm also petite and it has such sizing challenges for real. Because I'm 5 feet flat I'm not suppose to have boobs?! Ridiculous. Thanks so much for the introduction, Vanessa!

  4. She's adorable indeed! I love all the dresses, but I've got to say that what she's wearing on the Color Brigade: Vol 24 photo is my favorite. The calista sandals are definitely on my Christmas wishlist.

  5. The first horizontal-stripped dress looks nice on her. An amazing pair even with the simple blue long-sleeved shirt and pink bow tie.
