Hi, I am Kristine. Welcome to Petite fashion blog Glam, but first coffee. I am a content creator passionate about Petite fashion and the female lifestyle. I am here to inspire Petite women with my looks, and help short women find their style and confidence! Since I was a kid, I liked shopping with my mom. However, my height made it difficult and the clothing did not look as good on me.
If you are that Petite like I was, who does not find shopping enjoyable and is tired of being seen as a 12-year-old, you have found your safe space. Discover new Petite brands with me, embrace your height and find the style that flatters you. Hi, welcome to the best fashion Petite blog!
A little bit about me…
I am Latvian but living in Spain. Moving to Spain and not having what to do finally motivated me to go serious about my blog!
I like campings as much as I like five-star hotels. I have been to Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Luxembourg, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Andorra, and Egypt.
My relationship with sports is very close since I moved to Spain! I enjoy jogging, cycling, and some good dancing session.
I have a bunny named Mocha, she is 6 and has more personality than a cat or dog! Because of her and the Save Ralph campaign, I turned cruelty-free and now I advocate also on my blog and social media to use only cruelty-free products!
10 facts you did not know about animal testing.
Are there enough Cruelty-free resources?
I love animals so much that I used to want to be a veterinarian. This idea faded when I realised it is not about cuddling pets, and after I fainted seeing blood on my cat!
Style and size
I am an M-size Petite woman. If you would ask how I would describe my style, I could not answer you! I like the casual style but paired with some fun details or classy pieces! My favourite fashion items are shoes and bags (who does not like shoes?). Last but not least, I love femininity and Petite dresses.
FAQ
Your biggest achievements in your business?
I am sure that my big achievements are still coming. However, I am very proud of the first ever Petite fashion magazine that I launched in the summer of 2022 (get it for free by subscribing to the blog). As well as merchandise designs that I am creating in my merchandise store!

TOP5 closet items for Petites in your closet?
High-waisted Stradivarius Petite jeans, satin midi skirt with a slit, V-neck basic tees from Amazon, black OTK boots from Dane fashion and red midi dress from Kloth_London.
Your favourite Petite brands or retailers?
- Jeans from Stradivarius Petite. I have never had so comfortable but flattering jeans. They are also very affordable.
- Elegant but also everyday dresses for women over 30 can be found on Kloth London. I suggest you look into a red midi dress and flower print mini dresses.
- Recently I discovered a lot of brands that offer personalised height dresses and fashion. Two brands that offer gorgeous dresses are AWBRIDAL– use code GLAM10 (great wedding and not only fashion), and DIARRABLU (sustainable African brand).
- I recently discovered a brand Love Leggings by winning their giveaway. That is how I found out they have Petite sizes as well! Their wide leg lounge pants are extra-flattering and comfortable. However, they are famous for their high-waisted leggings that I plan to order in the future.
Where to shop for your outfits and suggested items?
- LikeToKnow.it page and app! I post my looks, suggestions, exclusive discount, and sales at least four times a day.
- Amazon storefront. Petite fashion, holiday finds, best-rated fashion and more.
