about me


“Petite, silly and will laugh at just about anything. Little kid at heart, world traveler, inspired by giving and desires to be the change in the world. And to fly someday.”

If I were to define myself, it would be what you just read above. I understand that for some of you, that’s not quite enough and you’d like to know more! :) So here we go…

I love fashion because it’s always evolving and exciting. I love and applaud the risk takers and enjoy taking risks with it myself  … after all, it’s supposed to be fun.

Black is my go to color and I have serious issues branching out. One day I will have a very colorful wardrobe… key word: one day.

My style is so all over the place… I like to do classic lady-like meets vintage meets bohemian chic meets trendy urbanista with a little bit of boyish flare. It totally depends on my mood… and I’m pretty sure I just mushed together some semi-made up terms, but whatever.

Traveling makes me so happy. I am truly a jet-setter and adventurer at heart. I seriously get an itch when I’m in the same place for too long! I thrive on the energy of a city and the possibilities of what is yet to be explored.

I’m secretly addicted to games. They’re just so much fun! My iPhone is full of games and I’m totally that girl on the plane who doesn’t wanna turn her phone off cause she’s in the middle of beating a high score.

Photography has been an interest of mine since I was a little girl and my grandfather gave me my first camera – it was pink and the kind where you had to load the film and wind it yourself. I love photographs and think it’s the best way to document life and the memorable things you see. I always wished my eyes were cameras and that I could record everything through my eyes.

I’m a Texas girl at heart even though I wasn’t born there (I was born in South Korea). There’s just nothing like southern hospitality.

One of the most valuable lessons I have learned and am still learning is that what makes you unique is what makes you special. Embrace what sets you apart from everyone else. The view from 5 ft. 2 is about how I see and interpret things and sharing this with anyone and everyone who is interested in seeing the world from my perspective.

    What camera do you used? The pics look amazing and I like the “rusty” color they have

    I am also a five feet 2-er, and just discovered you! I need styling/beauty help and look forward to your blogs. I am technologically challenged, as I cannot find the place in your blog where I can receive your posts via email? Thx, Lisa

    Hey…just found your blog and I love it!!! I was wondering if you work as a stylist or in some other fashion-related career or are you just really stylish?

    • cpetric / Feb 16 2011

      Thank you so much Kris! That’s the best compliment I could possibly receive :). I do not work full time as a stylist or in fashion- I have done some styling for my friends, but nothing professional. I hope you keep following and enjoy what the site brings you!

      • Kris / Feb 17 2011

        Definitely will! I just saw you on ‘The Cut, NY.’ SO awesome!!!
