I thought I would take the opportunity to tell you a little about my business.  It's easy to think that I head up a great big organisation, although I am working very hard on it.  My company is based on my passion and personal investment and I design and produce quality garments that make us Petites, whatever our size, look good and feel fabulous.

What could be a better gift on Mother's Day? 

A Gift Voucher for the Karen Gillam Petite Collection or a bit of pampering for Mum with a booking for Petite Indulgence Event.

Trousers, a basic staple of anyone's wardrobe, and yet so many of us complain that they don't fit well - Who does the high street make them for I wonder? Tummies, thighs, high waisted low waisted.... the list goes on.

August brought us riots and the depressing news that half of the UK could be obese by 2030. For the riots we suspect that greed, lawlessness / lack of discipline and a ‘broken society’ are the causes. Could it be the same factors that lead to obesity?

From my Petite Perspective I would put the cause as low self-esteem. The expectation of ‘all our school leavers going to university’ or us being ‘a size zero’ is just too high whilst everyday people are constantly reminded of these, and other ideals on the TV, in magazines, newspapers on the internet,.....and become wannabe’s and wannahave’s as they become frustrated with their own lives.

It's taken me a while to get the gist of things, so as a techno-phobe myself I thought it might be useful to share with you what I have learnt in this techno-phobes guide. I hope that this might help you to overcome any barriers to using these really useful tools on the internet and as a fellow petite you will join me on Facebook and/or follow me on Twitter.
