The Best Cardigans for Every Shape
 |
| If you are busty, opt for a shawl-like style (sans zippers or hooks) that will fall naturally around breasts for a pretty fit that won't make you and the girls feel suffocated. |
 |
| If you want to hide your arms, look for a cocoon shape. |
 |
| If you are short, this short in the front and long in the back cable-knit cardie is perfect for elongating petite frames without blanketing them in excess fabric. |
 |
| If you are small chest, shop for a style with embellishments on the chest. Ruffles can do the job, or this faux fur gilet. |
 |
| If you want to cover a tummy, this bouclé sweater with two rows of buttons and gently curved stitching work together to help elongate rounder torsos. |

The Secret to Wearing High Heels Without Pain
By SHAPE magazine. Generally, there are a few things to look for when you're shopping for stilettos. First, make sure the heels are of moderate proportions; opting for well-constructed "quality" shoes, especially those that have shock absorbing materials in the ball of the foot, and using an insert like Orthaheel; wearing your highest heels for only short periods at a time and giving them a little bit of closet time now and then; looking for shoes that "contour" to your arch and distribute your weight over the entire foot, not just the ball of the foot.

5 Packing Tips We Learned From Kate Middleton’s North American Tour
Bring the Basics: The practical princess packs the basics, and you should too! Kate’s been spotted wearing the same pair of J Brand 811 skinny jeans three days in a row. Think of your go-to outfits like, jeans, a tee, stylish walking shoes, and something dressier, when planning your trip outfits.
Dress Up, Dress Down: Grab pieces from your wardrobe that can be re-purposed depending on the activity for your vacation. Kate was all business as she boarded her flight to Canada in a Roland Mouret dress paired with a navy SMYTHE blazer, but a couple days later she dressed down the blazer with a pair of jeans and a ruffled blouse. Can we all say “effortless style,” together?
All About Accessories: The easiest way to take a vacation outfit from boring to brilliant is to accessorize. Choose signature accessories and statement pieces that will make your look pop, but save suitcase space. Kate sparkled in a maple leaf brooch on two separate occasions and packed a red-hot punch with a scarf during a day trip, adding a spark to an otherwise blasé outfit.
If The Shoe Fits: Shoes take up a ton of suitcase space, so Kate made sure to bring fabulous footwear that could be worn with several outfits. Nude pumps? Check. Super stylish Sebago Balas boat shoes for daywear and comfort? Check. A pair of espadrilles for a casual chic look? Check. We’re guessing you aren’t Carrie Bradshaw and you don’t have room to pack your entire shoe collection – so, only pack shoes that you know you’ll wear more than once on your vacation.
Airplane Chic: When Kate boarded her private jet set for the North American territories, she popped a pose in a Roland Mouret sheath dress. I know what you are thinking (I was too!) – that dress doesn’t look remotely airplane comfy. Wrong! The dress was made out of silk and cotton. The silk is soft and sleek, but the cotton keeps the dress from getting wrinkly. Yep, Kate one-upped us and reminded us that the friendly skies can also be chic.

Best Shoes for Your Body Type
Small and petite:
If your legs are on the shorter and slimmer side, the most important thing to remember is height. This means "platforms, wedges and heels without straps," says Aly Scott, founder of StyleC. Also, pick a shoe with a rounded toe, as a very pointy one will make you look "witchy."
Short and thick:
To find a flattering pair of shoes when your legs are a bit short, a simple heel is best. Just be sure to choose one with a bright color or unique print, so you draw attention downwards. Some other flattering choices are open-toed shoes with a solid heel and boots that end just below the knee, not mid-calf.
Tall and thin:Ballet flats work great because you already have the heigh. Or if you want to play up your small calves, stretchy boots that fall mid-calf are perfect. A pair of strappy sandals with an ankle strap will also give some edge to your feet, especially if you have thin ankles.
Tall and muscular:
To elongate the leg, choose a super high heel -- "pointy, open-toed shoes and stilettos will make your legs look leaner," says Scott. Chunky wedge sandals are another great option, but go with a two or three inch heel to visually lift your leg.
