Here are my top tips for those finishing touches for petite ladies.

If wearing court shoes opt for a pointed toe instead of a round toe it lengthens your legs.

Jessica Simpson shows this perfectly with her fantastic patent leather shoes and at 5′3″ she’s as petite as they come… although you’d never think it.

Don’t wear T-Straps, bows, or heavy buckles on your footwear because it creates a wide, chunky effect.

Poor Melissa Joan Heart I’m always picking on this outfit, but with these aweful platforms cutting her off at her ankle it makes her look about a foot shorter than she is.

Do wear flats, but keep your outfit simple, hem lines on or above the knee or skinny jeans.

Reese Witherspoon shows this pefectly with her simple outfit and fantastic animal print pumps.

Stay away from belts that are too wide or colourful, go for slim belts as they won’t overwelm your frame.

Cheryl Cole shows this perfectly with her super short yellow dress and black slimline belt which sets it off perfectly.

So thoses are the rules you don’t have to stick to them but I would try and keep them in mind when you’re looking around the shops.

Hi guys!

Well if there is one thing us petite ladies don’t have to worry about altering it’s shoes! However some petite woman also have petite feet and think they have to resort to kiddies ranges, not sexy ranges like Kurt Geiger… well that’s where they’re wrong!!

The guys from Kurt Geiger dropped me an email asking for me to feature their fabulous offers on here because they go down to a size 35, which is a size 2.5 for us ladies in the UK.

I’ve got to say I was thrilled to do a post on them as shoes are my one of my guilty pleasures… I’m like Carey on Sex and the City!! Or my mam says Emelda Marcos, but that goes right over my head!

Their new range is called fashionistas and don’t you just want to lick them (too much I know!). They’ve also got a 30% off sale section… oh my god! Beautiful shoes and sale, have I died and gone to heaven?

So after Gok Wan’s top tips for Dorothy Perkins I thought I would find some awesome nude peep toe shoes. This is what Gok Wan says in the video:

Girls when it comes to shoes make sure the shoe is the same tone as your leg or wear a dark tight and a dark shoe, they will make you taller and slimmer in seconds

So that’s why I’ve looked in all the shops and found these great nude peep toes from Additions Direct and New Look.

Additions Direct - Definitions “Yasmin” patent peep toe shoes

New Look - Patent Peep Toe

So get your hands on one of these bad boys and you’ll never need to stand on my tip toes again!

Don’t forget if you have any petite to tall making heels then post them here by adding a comment below.

What sizes does it offer?

M and Co’s petite range comes in sizes 6 to 20 catering for all of us, from the plus size petite to more slender frames.

What is M and Co’s delivery policy and costs?

Curently M and Co are offering free delivery on all orders over £40! Brilliant!! You can’t ask for any better than that. The standard delivery cost is only £3.50 too so if you don’t spend £40 then it’s really reasonable anyway.

And what about their returns policy?

Now this couldn’t be easier, just fill in the returns form which will be in with your clothes and then put the free returns address label on there and take it to the post office. M and Co will then refund your money within 28 days. Howere please note that if you took them up on their free delivery and then choose to return the poduct you will be charged for the postage.

What offers do they have on?

Well at the moment they have a 20% off summer sale. It’s running until the 9th of May just insert the discount code 412112 in when you go to checkout and the money will be taken off your balance.

So come on Vikki, how easy is the site to use?

Navigation: They have a great navigation where you can see their main collections across the top and then the sub categories on the left. They also have FAQ’s for any questions you might have.

Product Page: Once you get to the product page they tell you everything you might need to know about the product including:

• Its name

• Price
• Size info
• Wash ifo
• Fabric composition
• Enlarge image

They also have a really simple way of ticking items in stock, crossing items out of stock and also offering you the option to recieve an email when it comes back into stock.

Shopping Basket: The only thing that confused me is that unlike other sites where when you click on an item you want you are taken to the shopping basket they just tell you that the product has been added, this meant that I managed to add 3 skirts to my basket! Ooops!!

Checkout: Once you decide to check out you will be asked to add your email and then proceed to checkout. Once you get to the checkout it is clearly marked that there are 4 steps in total to checkout. They also have info on the security on their site, and the lock symbol is shown so you know your in safe hands.

And what’s your favourite bit of petite clothing on there then?

These long shorts are perfect to shove on with a nice vest top though the day or a shimmering eveningwear top. A holiday essential and at £9.50 you can’t complain at the price!

Yo Shorty Petite Points:

I’ve got to give M and Co a great 4 out of 5. Apart from the confusing add to basket this is a brilliant site with brilliant peices of petite fashion.
