Xazmin Garza has written a great article about how to choose clothes that will make you look 5 to 20 pounds slimmer depending on your height.

Her main tips include choosing V-necks as the eye starts at the bust and goes upward, choosing vertical lines as they narrow you, going for tailored pieces (if it doesn't fit, you look unfit) and choosing dark colors to minimize and light colors to maximize. She recommends empire waist blouses as the smallest part of the rib cage is accented and wrap dresses where the V-neck frames the face and the wrap defines the waist.

Crocs has just released a high heel shoe. It's got a three inch heel and is designed with the same material as in all other croc shoes.

These shoes look like they could be exceptionally comfortable - as far as high heeled shoes are concerned - but to say they will 'spice up any fashionista's wardrobe' may be stretching the subjective truth a bit. We doubt they will even make a dent in the demand for really beautiful sandals such as the Lanvin's shown here. Nevertheless Crocs may have another very big hit on their hands.

Angelina Jolie's estranged father says Angelina did not play with dolls when she was a little girl. So he is pleasantly surprised that she now has six children that she loves so much.

It would thus be a bit surreal if some of her six children were to play with dolls, surreal if it was an Angelina Jolie doll.
