Some people have psychological problem to consider themselves not tall enough. And they do wish they can become taller! But there always are some techniques that can help you look taller visually instead of really becoming taller, that is possible either though rather complicated. A good example can be Eva Longoria Parker, being  1.57 m tall, Eva does manage to look fabulous! That proves that by by wisely organizing visual elements of clothes, their design, your hairstyle and even accessories you can change the way your body is perceived to the better and make yourself look taller. Here you can see some our tips are…

.

Posture

Good posture provides not only physical but also psychological benefits. It is an important component for back health and height increase. Good posture helps increase your height not just because of the obvious reason that you are sitting and standing strait rather than slouching and slumping, but for other structural and physiological reasons as well.

You can correct posture by ensuring that you always sit with your back against a chair’s support and being conscious of the fact that you will need to keep a correct posture at all times.

Good standing posture is achieved by leaning against a wall. Keep your head, shoulder blades, buttocks and heels in contact with the wall.At the same time, use your muscles to pull back your neck, waist and knees to minimize the space between your body and the wall. There should be only slight gaps. This will help you to walk and seat straight and will provide the impression that you look taller than you actually are.

.

 Hair style

.Try to wear your hair in the way it makes you appear taller. A hair style for you should be thin at the sides and higher up at the top, which can make you look as much as an inch taller. Do not have any wide hair style.

.

Outfit

.Beware of clothes with horizontal lines. Avoid clothes with a tartan or checked pattern.

Instead select clothes with vertical lines or striping. It can be thin stripes, visible seams, interesting buttons,
contrasting ties.  Vertical lines or stripping make a person appear thinner, and when you are thin you look taller.

Also avoid wearing baggy clothes, this will make you look not only shorter but also will add you a couple of kilos. Beware of garments that are made from heavy and bulky fabric. They add width and hence shorten the image visually. Chose skinny pants to make the legs look longer.

.

Shoes

The best trick to look taller is to wear high heels. This will help you to increase visually the length of  your legs and to look not only taller but more attractive! But be careful: don’t wear high platform shoes or too high stilettos if you are short. It is not comfortable and looks ridicul0usly!

.

Color

It is important to choose a monochromatic palette when choosing clothes. For instance,  one color family from head to toe makes the eye and brain thinking “long and lean.” However, don’t make the mistake of going for all long pieces. Go for contrasting proportions. Mix a longer jacket with a shorter skirt, shorter jacket with pants, and try not to cut visually body into many parts, for instance, choose a long lean dress, or no-waist pants and skirts.

But the most important is to believe in yourself and to accept yourself the way you were born, no matter now tall you are! And remember, sometimes tall people also suffer from their height…

Victoria Beckham has a vast collection of handbags. For while most women have only a few bags at their disposal the former Posh Spice has a collection of hundreds, and is rarely seen using the same one twice.

.

 

Her Hermes Birkin bag collection is thought to be worth £1.5 million.(over $ 2.2 millions). In recent years the bag has been featured prominently on popular television shows such as Sex and the City, Gilmore Girls, and Will & Grace. In the final season of The Sopranos, Dr. Melfi carried a Birkin bag into her own therapy session.

.

Timelessness is one of those attributes that everyone wishes to attain, but few are afforded the time to achieve. Over the past 45 years, Valentino has captured the attention of an international fashion audience with his glamorous gowns and elegant ensembles that have stood the test of changing trends and time. While wealthy fashion lovers around the world collect his vintage couture, Valentino’s new collections continue to draw the attention and applause of fashion editors, celebrities, and socialites. A designer favored by the famous women of history and Hollywood alike, Valentino has made a name for himself as a designer who’s opulent fashions will forever go untouched by time.

Why the style of Valentino is magnetic and impressive? Why the elegant women like him so much and first class ladies like Elizabeth Taylor and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis don’t hesitate to confide in him before he becomes world famous designer?

One of the explanations is the poetry of his style. His style is so refined that it can be compared to the ancient Greek and ancient Roman sculptures. Usually in his works a note of dramatism can be observed which is due to his ability to attach great importance to the situation, to the event, to the personal role through clothes either to receptions, cocktails and balls or other special and official sphere. This dramatism should be unthinkable without his trade colour – red. His element is woman fashion. Short or long, with luxurious applications or without them, with uncovered or with covered shoulders – the dresses with trade mark “Valentino” are a demonstration of secret eroticism, femininity and harmony.

Valentino founded “the plural proportion”: dressings that make beautiful their owners, reinforce their self-confidence, but also underline the most beautiful in them. Today he is also unsurpassable virtuoso of the colours and the patterns in woman fashion. He is one of the biggest enemies of the careless and too casual fashion.

But what is the definition of elegance in Valentino’s opinion? Is it harmony, sense of measure or role model? In many interviews for different media he says: “The elegance is always the same, because in essence it is a question of harmony, of measure, of simplicity. And in the first place it is a question of attitude, of interior life and of intelligence. Of something that comes from inside and expresses at outward appearance”. The clients and the admirers of the designer are attractive and very impact women whose personal physical magnetism are complemented from artistic talent and perfectly mastered manners of the public attitude. Gloria Guinness and Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis, Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and Sharon Stone, Ornela Mutti and Brooke Shields, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lopez and many others are in this special register.

.

Valentino is a creator of highest class in the spirit of the big tradition of the highest fashion designers of the second half of XX century. His contribution to the refinement of the form and the cleaning of the silhouette in the fashion design is incontestable.As a whole the style “Valentino” is focused at the most attractive from the Italian manner of clothing – the tenderness, the romance and the simplicity.

Jessica Marie Alba derives her exotic beauty from a French-Danish mother and Mexican, Indian and Spanish father. The mixed parentage has posed some acting challenges for the rising star due to ultimate confusion about her ultimate ethnic heritage.

A typical Jessica Alba hair style can be in any of several color shades. Jessica was born with dark brown hair, but she has colored her hair many different shades throughout the years of her celebrity status.

Jessica has had hair colors ranging from very light blonde to honey colored brown to red to dark brown. Normally, she has to wear specific hair colors depending on the role she is playing on television or in a movie. She has also colored her hair to appear in L’Oreal commercials. Joining the ranks of Sarah Jessica Parker and Heather Locklear, Jessica did a brief stint as a celebrity spokesperson for hair color giant, L’Oreal.

Jessica Alba is not someone who sticks with one particular hair length or hair style for an extended period of time. Over the course of several years, Jessica has been seen with short, medium, and long length hair, and she has been seen with it parted right down the middle of her head, parted on the side of her head, or worn with no part at all.

Jessica has also worn her hair straight, curled, with a “shag”, layered, with bangs and without bangs, and even with a bob. With all of the different lengths and styles she has tried, there is definitely one commonality with of her different looks – they are always practically perfect in every way.

Both movement and volume has always been associated with the Jessica Alba hairstyle. To add extra movement and volume to your hair consider the following four steps and tips so you can have a Jessica Alba hairstyle for yourself.

Wash your hair with a volume shampoo and condition and then turn your head upside down and blow dry so that you add fullness and volume to the roots. If you have fine hair you shouldn’t add conditioner since it is too heavy, rather you should use a thickening spray.

Once your hair is dry use either some large Velcro rollers or a large curling tong so that you can divide off small, random sections for soft, wavy and loose curls.

To style your hair once it is curled use either a brush or your fingers and then use some hairspray to mold your hair into the desired shape.

Try heating up the Velcro rollers under your blow dryer for about ten minutes if you want to add some staying power and curl to your hair.

The best ways to straighten out your curls or add a wave aside from chemical treatment is to blow dry your hair. To perfect the blow drying techniques needed for your hair ti will take practice, patience and perseverance. It is also important to have the right sized brush and hair styling products. As long as you do it the right way you can add volume to your hair by blow drying and do it easily at home. Brilliance and shine can be added to your hair if you use the right blow drying and styling techniques.

When styling your own hair the ideal blow dryer accessories that you can have on hand is a nozzle to direct the flow of air, professional flat hairdressing clips, and the right styling products, gloss or oil and depending on your hair style either a large paddle or round brush.

To prepare your hair before you start styling use a good shampoo and conditioning treatment. With only a little bit of blotting with a towel you should allow your hair to dry naturally. You will need your hair to be at least eight percent dry in order for your styling to be effective. Use a wide toothed comb to detangle any knots in your hair. You will want to apply heat to protect your hair. Massage your hair with a dollop of straightening balm.

Before blow drying make four horizontal sections of hair. You should have two at the back and two at the sides. Clip all these sections to the top of your head. Blow dry one section at a time. While blow drying pull a thick, round brush from the roots to the ends of the hair. As you go stretch and straighten by pulling the hair away from your head.

Until they are smooth and dry blow dry each section. Make sure you evenly distribute heat over the section of hair you are working on while blow drying and to keep the tension consistent. This way certain areas won’t become over dry and you will have uniform texture for your hair.

Even though Jessica has donned several different hair shades, surveys of her fans have shown that they prefer her with a dark look. However, when she wears her hair in a golden or blonde shade, it seems to make her face glow and her eyes stand out more.

In our crazy fast world, when it seems there’s never enough time to eat properly, drinking fresh juices can ensure that your body gets the nourishment it needs to stay healthy.

Fresh juices, both fruit and vegetable are a rich, concentrated source of nutrients and give an instant support to your body and mind. The vitamins, minerals and enzymes present in fresh, live juices are absorbed more quickly and efficiently than whole foods that can take several hours to digest. The quick and easy assimilation of fresh juices is due to the presence of live enzymes in raw fruits and vegetables.

Fresh juice provides us with minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids and much more. All of these factors are vital to maintaining good health. That is why, if you make fresh juice a part of your daily diet, you will have increased energy, good spirit, strengthened immune system and a reduced risk of disease.

Sure, there are many bottled fruits and vegetables juices available on the market. However, their valuable nutrients are lost during the bottling process which includes thermal treatment. Making your own juice and drinking it fresh in some minutes, will give you control over the quality of the juice you are consuming as well as control over the quality of your life!

It is never too late to start drinking your favorite fruits and vegetables. Juices can eliminate toxins from your body, they are good for your weight, circulation and overall well being.

.

Carrot juice

Carrot juice is one of the richest sources of vitamin A (beta-carotene) that can be used in the daily diet. It also contains B vitamins and its mineral content is equally rich and includes calcium, copper, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, sulfur, and iron. All this makes carrot juice especially recommended for kids and people with weak immunity, poor eyesight and problem skin.

Vitamin A is very good for sight. However, it is soluble in fat but not in water. Thus, to assimilate vitamin A (beta-carotene) you need to eat some fat right after you drink carrot juice or add some drops of olive oil into your juice.

.

Tomato juice

Tomato juice reduces risk of cancer because of stimulation of alimentary canal work. New medical research also suggests that having lycopene in your diet may help prevent cancer. Lycopene can be found in tomatoes, and is best in a concentrated form or as fresh juice. Tomato juice is low calorie and that’s why overweight people also can drink it. Drink tomato juice 20 minutes before meal, as it increases bowels readiness for food digestion.

By the way, addition of salt reduces juice’s medicinal qualities. Instead of salt you can add pounded garlic and fresh green.

.

Apple juice

Fresh apple juice carries a significant amount of vitamins A and C! It also contains many vitamin P and minerals, such as potassium, calcium, iron salts, copper, manganese, cobalt, zinc, nickel. Pectin from pulpy apple juice normalizes bowels work. High sugar and organic compounds content contributes to quick restoration after physical loads. Compounds in apples and apple juice called phytonutrients act in the same way as red wine and herbal tea; they delay the break down of so called “bad” cholesterol. You can drink apple juice without any damage to your health in rather big quantities – up to four glasses per day.

For the elderly generation, drinking fruit juices should begin with apples, especially if you are suffering from arthritis and rheumatism. This is because apples carry a substantial amount of potassium.

.

Grape juice

Grapes are an excellent source of potassium, which encourages an alkaline blood balance and also stimulates the kidneys and regulates heartbeat. It is recommended while nervous exhaustion and collapse. Juice of dark grape contains substances, reducing risk of heart diseases. Its regular drinking reduces level of cholesterol and arterial pressure.

.

Pomegranate juice

The pomegranate has a high potential for disease-fighting antioxidants. Pomegranate juice is excellently assimilated, excites appetite, regulates alimentary canal activity and increases haemoglobin. It has diuretic and antiseptic effects. It is also quite high in potassium and fiber, and contains vitamin C and niacin. Pomegranate juice should be diluted with water. It contains many acids, which irritate alimentary canal.

.

Be careful

Many people think fresh juices are surely harmless. However, you should not overestimate medicinal power of juices.

Don’t drink too much carrot juice. Excess of beta-carotene overloads liver and skin can gain sallow tone. Drink no more than two glasses liter of carrot juice per day. Two glasses is enough for your daily diet.

Grape juice consumption should be restricted for full people and sick with diabetes. It contains too much glucose and calories.

Remember, many fresh juices are purgatives. So if you suffer from diarrhea, you should dilute them with water beforehand and drink little by little.

To receive wholesome substances and vitamins from fresh juices, you don’t need to drink liters of them at all. Such experiments can only damage your organism. Reasonable norm – is from several table spoons to 3 glasses per day depending on kind of juice. It’s better to drink juices 20-30 minutes before meal or during breaks between meals.

You need to drink fresh juices right after you prepare them. Even short-term keeping in fridge reduces medicinal value of juice, although its taste can remain the same.

.

Fresh up your life!

You can be very creative in making fresh juice. Look for interesting varieties of fruits as they come to market, vegetables and herbs (like spearmint and lemongrass) and mix them (fruits with fruits, vegetables with vegetables, herbs with either) in new combinations. Use fresh fruit and vegetables, wash and prepare them as appropriate. You can reuse fruit pulp in cakes and muffins, and add vegetable pulp to soups.

• Skinny jeans in darker denims or leggings. It can be black, grey, navy or dark blue color.
• Floor length dresses. With belt on her waist or without it. Mary-Kate loves to wear them on a red carpet.
• Leather. Jacket, coat or skinny jeans paired with round glasses make her looks like a rock star.
• Fur. It can be coat or west or just fur. Mary-Kate pairs it with everything – from long t-shirt to evening dress. For this reason she is an enemy for Green Piece.
• Scarves with casual and dressy outfits. They can be light and flowing, dark or in a bright color. Bright scarves add a splash of color to darker outfit.

• Vintage, vintage-inspired and retro jewelry. Multiple bracelets and oversized stoned rings are favorite accessories of Mary-Kate. Also she loves broaches, pendant necklaces and vintage earrings.
• Extremely high heels and platforms. Even on them Mary-Kate looks very petite.
It’s obvious that most of her evening shoes are much bigger than she needs. In one interview Mary-Kate sais that most of the stores don’t have her size.
• Oversized bag or big purse. She is often seen either with a huge bag or with a big purse carrying “all she needs” in her arms (Keys, cell phone, and of course her favorite Starbucks)
• Half-face sunglasses. As a true star Mary-Kate wears her round black sunglasses almost everywhere.
• Black eyeliner. She uses lots of black eyeliner for a make-up. We notice it every time when we see her without sunglasses.
• Almost white or cherry red lips. Probably it depends on the event and on her mood.
• Classic red or black short nails. They are good with any outfit.• Something in darker colors such as blacks and grays and in neutral tones such as tans and beiges. It makes her look much more mature and sophisticated.• Several layers. Baggy layers, like wrap dresses, flowing skirts and shawls make her look more bohemian.

• Windy hair. It’s very natural. Sometimes she does her hair up or wears hair band.

Her clothes are a mix of rock star and hippie styles with a touch of retro. Often combining designer wear with second-hand thrift store goods Mary-Kate has a fresh and easy outfit. Lots of stars keep trying to copy her style, but nobody is really successful.
