Short: Stylish and Sexy

Good things come in small packages and rightly so.

Rachel Bilson .

At only 5'2" the stylish and chic OC star Rachel Bilson is shorter than everyone else on the famous series. but is just as sexy as the rest of the girls. We totally love her chic style and fashion sense.


.

FERGIE
.
Fergie, the stylish the risk taker and the woman with a lot of personality is 5'2". She has such strong personality that her petite frame becomes her asset. The pop starlet is 14 inches shorter than her 6'4" hubby Josh Duhamel, but she's usually the one who stands out on the red carpet.


.

Kim Kardashian
.
Kim Kardashian is 5'3", and that doesn't stop her from dating Kris Humphries who is a staggering 6'9"! Kim's the sexy siren, and her personality and style totally disregards her petiteness.


.

SCARLET JOHANSSON
.
'Babe of the year' (Awarded by GQ) and ever stylish Scarlet Johansson's sex appeal is larger than life. At 5'3" the woman for sure has enough attention that a woman can ever dream of. Scarlet for sure rocks, who says size matters? Scarlet breaks all conventional norms and shows that petite is sexy.

.


.

Jessica Simpson
.
You wouldn't know from her pictures but Jessica Simpson is only 5'2". She can sing, act and she is a shoe designer herself.

.

Hayden Panettiere
.
Heroes actress Hayden stands beautiful at 5'1". She wears her clothes with such sophistication and comfort and even her makeup and hair are always perfect. This woman has a flair for dating tall men. She makes a beautiful pair with her current beau boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko who's 6'6" (ah 1.5 feet taller), but she carries him off well.

.
Style Tips from these petite stylish women:

- Go monochromatic: Donning a monochromatic look with some key pieces looks stylish and adds height. Like Rachel Bilson in all black look with a pop of colour through the smart orange clutch. The best part about a monochromatic look is it also makes you look slimmer. Bingo!!!!

- Go nude on feet: Nude shoes elongate your legs. And they get the brownie points or working well with almost all looks and colours. Kim Kardashian adds height with her nude platform pumps paired with her sexy short black dress (surely making her look taller) while Rachel pairs her nude shoes with nude dress, we lover her look. Just make sure your shoes are the shade closest to your skin tone.

- Short is sexy: Go shorter in length to create an illusion of long legs. Short dress (skirt which sits just above the knee is the most flattering) like seen on Kim Kardashian, Scarlet Johansson and Fergie above or pick nice sexy shorts as seen on Hayden Panettiere. If you're wearing pants, go for cropped jackets or shorter tops.

- Platform Shoes: They give you a bit of extra height and are much easy to walk in compared to regular stilettos. From Victoria Beckham to Kim Kardashian to Eva Longoria to Megan Fox, they all love their platforms. Get a basic, black and nude or maybe some quirky standout piece for adding some fun to your ensemble. Slingbacks are good options, avoid styles with straps across the feet or ankle, they cut your long leg line.

- Get the posture right: Confidence does wonders to your look, no matter what you're wearing. Stand tall with your shoulders back. Good posture actually adds inches to your height and gives you a much sexier silhouette.

something about swirls


One of my customers, Leanne, forwarded the above image to me. Leanne created beautiful swirl napkins to match her set of gleena swirl plates. They look fantastic. I love how graphic the napkins are when they are folded. Thank you, Leanne, for this incredible photo!

Heidi Klum Hearts Her Husband Seal & He Hearts Her ♥


Swoon! OMG, I heart these two together. Heidi has always been one of my favorites so the two of them together is ice cream and cake for me. A few things Heidi said about her husband below in the May 2011 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine:

"He's the most charming, loving, fun, gentlemanly, inspirational man I could have wished for," Klum, 37, says, "He always makes me feel I'm the only woman in the world."
