5 things that will make you look shorter

There are many girls around the world that have their minds set on a thought of making themselves look taller. High heels are their best friends. And there are girls like me, who are 180 cm (around 5' 10") tall  and wearing very high heels might result in some serious head injury and public humiliation. 

Of course, it's a joke, but has a bit of truth to it - sometimes I sooo wanna look petite. So, if sometimes you wish to look shorter here's a few things you might do for it.

1. Wear flats. For us, tall girls, ballerina shoes and all kind of flats are the best friends. Hey, there's a huge plus in wearing flats - your feet will not get tired, you can walk faster, and you will not appear taller that most of your guy friends. ;) And, I mean, some of the trendies and cutest flats have been resently re-discovered: Oxford shoes, slippers, loafers, and boat shoes. If it doesn't sound like heaven, I don't know what does!

Even celebreties wear flas, so embrace them too.

Useful links. Online reading list for January

It's been a week since I posted my New Year's Resolutions wholeheartedly beleiving that making them public will make me actually follow them. Well...I didn't, OK? I still forget to moisturize my skin, I didn't write 2-3 blog posts this past week, I most certainly neither left my job nore decided on my photography career. 

And you know what? I feel like it's OK to take the changes slowly (Fine! Moisturizing doesn't have to be that complicated!). I am figuring things out step by step, without making fast decisions. I don't want to rush, because it feels like I'm stapping on a completely new path of my life and want to choose the right one. I also know that it's OK to make mistakes, but why make one if it can be avoided?

For all of you, thrift shopping lovers!

I love thrifting! It makes my day when I score a pair of colored jeans or a cute dress for a fraction of it's initial price. Do you, too? Then you might like this fun music video :D

Resolutions. 2013

Oh how I love this time of the year. It's the time when you can't help but feel that there is a NEED to change. And I honestly always need some kind of kick in the ass to start moving. Your guys' New Year resolutions have been a great help and inspiration to me.

I've never tried to write a list like that, but I think it will be an awesome motivation for me and a way to organize my thoughts. Also, I would like to hear your opinion and advice on the steps that I figured I have to do in 2013. Maybe you are going through the same situation in your life or already been there and have a handful of tricks for me? ;)

So, let's get it started!

(Sorry the post came out kind of long!)

Happy New Year!
