We are always searching the web for any and everything that caters to tall women. One of our best friends, Allison, who stands at 5’11, discovered a funny blog written by a fellow tall girl. Check it out!

A little bit about the blog and it’s owner…

“16 years old; 5’10.5 For all the beautiful tall girls and the problems we have to endure. Through all the teasing, feeling out of place & short hems, I’m finally coming to a point where I realized that there’s nothing wrong with being a little different. People still try to tear me down about it but there’s always gonna be people doing that. These problems are mostly to make you laugh & go “OH MY GOD. THAT’S SO ME.” Ask me stuff & tell me what you think ”

Here is a sample of some of the “tall girl problems” that we can relate to:

This is my favorite one the perfect response to a rude and inappropriate comment:

And last, but certainly not least….drumroll please (you have all heard this a million times….and its equally annoying everytime!)

Visit her blog for much more entertainment. I literally laughed out loud while I was reading through the problems and know you will too

We stumbled upon this article on about.com that gives us glamazon’s ten styling tips to work our gorgeous tallness. We personally can relate to many of these and would love to know what you all think! Here is a brief summary of the article which can be found here:

1. Wear Beautiful Shoes

This is a no brainer since everyone’s eyes automatically go straight to our feet to see if our height can be attributed to wearing huge heels. We like to call it the “look up”…all you tall women have experienced this. People look straight to your feet and continue up your body to your face. This move from onlookers has become a part of our daily life that we love to laugh at, so why not wear amazing shoes and really give them something to look at/talk about!

2. Dont Fear Heels

This goes along with number one. If you are already tall, why not just wear heels to really get people’s attention. There is no written rule saying just because we are tall we have to wear flats. Own it girls and be proud of your height!

3. Use Oversized Accessories

Since our bodies are taller we can get away with larger accessories without looking ridiculous or having the item overwhelm our bodies. We personally love big earrings and handbags, what do you guys love?

4. Show Some Skin

Show off your tall beautiful body, while being classy ladies. Pick a body part to feature (legs, arms, neck, décolleté, ect…) and work it, just make sure to pick one body part and not all at once.

5. Highlight Your Neck

We love this one! Lynn and I both are known for wearing our hair in buns or pulled back in high ponytails and really emphasizing our necks. Try pairing this look with a fun pair of earrings…you will get lots of compliments I promise!

6. Pair narrow With Wide

Either wear a larger wide top or jacket with skinny jeans or leggings, or try a fitted shirt with a wide leg pant or trouser…super sophisticated.

7. Think Bright

Add a pop of color to your outfit. Choose one piece to make a colorful statement…a bag, scarf, or even belt and have some fun. Just make sure your entire outfit is not multicolored!

8. Be Minimalist

We already draw alot of attention just for being tall, so lets not mix too many different trends/looks together all at once. Remember, sometimes less really is more.

9. Play With Your Hair

If you have a look you have always wanted to try with your hair but worried you were too tall to pull off, go for it…it is only hair and will eventually grow back.

10. Be a Drama Queen

As a makeup artist, I LOVE this one. Pick a feature and really play it up. Rock a colorful or smokey eye, or go for that bold dramatic lip. We already get attention for our glorious height, why not add a touch of drama to our makeup to really make a statement!

Excerpt from Jill:

This picture was taken in Vegas. My best friend Christine (the one with dark hair) and I go to Vegas every year for her birthday. She is 6’3″. We met playing basketball and have been best friends for the last 15 years. When we go out on the town we will rock 4″ stilletos and are proud to claim the name of twin towers. It’s not uncommon for us to be stopped and asked to take pictures with people…seriously! I think it is because we are comfortable in our skin and absolutely embrace being tall!

To all the tall women out there be proud of your stature and don’t slouch! Being tall is sexy and its unique! As my boyfriend says, we are a rare breed. Recognize that and own it! TALL PEOPLE ROCK!

“Thank you for catering your line to us tall girls! I, too, have a 37″ inseam and stand 6’1″ tall. I ordered your yoga pants, and they are splendid! In fact, I just got back from a jog while wearing them, and have to say they are top notch. No riding up, and they covered my shoes to the tops of the soles (like pants should). Thanks again, and keep standing tall!”     - Dayna

“I love your in-jean-ious jeans! Ha!! Mine just arrived and they’re perfect for me and my 5″ heels!! The fit is sexy and classy…highly recommended!!”     - Tracy

“It is truly a priceless feeling when u put on a pair of your jeans and their almost too long!!! Thank-you and look forward to what the future holds for you both!!!”     - Carrie

As another Halloween fast approached, Lynn and I had to think of a unique and fun costume to show off at the annual Halloween Party we attend in San Francisco. What could be more fun than the popular kids toy from our childhood, My Little Pony? Colorful, sparkly and nostalgic, what more could you want?

Here is what we did:

* Picked our favorite color pony

* Bought long colorful wigs on ebay

* We already owned the fuzzy boot covers (purchased at a store on Haight St. in San Francisco)

* Purchased fuzzy wrist covers and pony ears on Etsy to match our ponies (we LOVE Etsy, you can find so many unique items on this site!)

* Bought neon tights and shorts online

* Wore neutral faux fur vests that we already owned

* Bought cheap hair extensions from the beauty supply store and tied colored ribbon around the top to create our tails

* Found graphics online to use for our symbols and printed them out on special transfer paper. After printing the symbols, we ironed them onto cheerleading shorts.

* Sprayed tons of glitter spray all over to make us sparkle (bought at our local drug store)

* Wore colorful makeup that matched our ponies: long dramatic eyelashes, lots of shimmer and bright pink lipstick completed the outfits

We received quite a few compliments on our costumes and most importantly, had a ton of fun putting them together! Halloween is a time of year that we always look forward to and creative costumes are a must.

We encourage you to be creative and experiment when it comes to creating a Halloween costume. It is much more fun to put your own costume together then to buy one at the store. You get a great sense of accomplishment when people see and love what you have put together. Plus, you can usually save money if you get crafty and use items you already have, or borrow items from your friends!
