Yesterday we sent out our newsletter with women's equestrian styles. We've gotten many wonderful comments, but a few of you are frustrated that your size of riding boots are sold out. Over at Tall Clothing Mall we have a special section of riding boots and although we show them in black, many of those styles come in other colors too. About a week ago, I ventured into Nordstrom Rack. I love Nordstrom Rack as I can always find a pair of size 12 shoes for my feet and being able to try them on is heaven! I scored this lovely pair of Chinese Laundry boots. I've been looking for a new pair of riding boots that fit my calves as I have athletic shaped calves. Most riding boots are just too tight, but the wide calf boots are too loose. This pair is just right. (Do I sound like Goldilocks?) Online they are available to size 11, but I found them in size 12 at Nordstrom Rack. I want to show you 3 more styles of riding boots that I love - a high-end pair, a pair in the middle … [Read more...]
Homecoming Dresses for Tall Ladies
It's Homecoming season, and most tall ladies are excited, yet stressed with finding the perfect dress for the big dance. We know that we can't wear the same things as our shorter friends.

I feel your pain and have come up with 4 appropriate dresses that will turn heads with complementary heels.

YEEHAW! Cowboy Boots!
By: Cinthia Molinar Lately I’ve had an obsession with cowboy boots. It might be due to the summer festivities in the small town that I’m from. Regardless, I think that cowboy boots have come a long way from the ranch. We see them now on celebrities and more and more people are starting to realize how these boots, once worn for working, can be stylish! I love cowboy boots because they look great with jeans or a dress! And like any good shoe, you can wear them to almost any occasion. I realize that some of you out there are a little skeptical of the cowboy boot, and maybe it’s not your style and that’s fine! But for those of you who want to try it out, let us help you out in finding some good ol’ cowboy boots and putting together a great outfit! It’s most likely that you won’t have to buy any new clothing items. You probably already have enough items laying around! Like a good pair of jeans- an old pair of jeans that are a little worn and torn work great. As for … [Read more...]
The 411 on Heels for Tall Women
By: Cinthia Molinar Tall women can potentially pull off any heel height. However, look for comfort and style when shopping for heels. If you can’t strut your stuff in a pair of heels, ditch ‘em! Pants and Heels Remember that high heels shorten the distance between your pant hem and the floor. If you own a pair of pants that are the perfect length with flats, sadly, they’re not going to work with heels. When you do wear pants with heels, make sure to keep the hem no more than 1 inch above the floor. I find that that’s what looks the best. Pants and heels are classic. There isn’t any occasion that doesn’t work with pants and heels. They work for the office or a night out with the girls! BKE Harper Jeans 33" Inseam. Refine Trousers Jeans in 34", 36" and 38" Inseams Some heel styles that would look good with jeans: Anne Klein Zya - to size 11. Type Z Rinny - to size 11. Nine West Vividly to size 12. Experiment! As I mentioned above, we tall girls can … [Read more...]

Summer Lovin’ Wedges
By Cinthia Molinar, our college aged "Tall Fashionista". Cinthia will be a regular contributor to Tall Snob. It’s summer time! Finally! And you know what that means. . . time to bring out that summer wardrobe that you’ve been eyeing all winter. That oh-so-coveted closet has many of my favorite clothing items, but one that I think every girl should not go without this summer is a good, handy pair of wedges. I absolutely love wedges because they are easy to dress up or dress down, and they never disappoint. And not to mention they are comfy and stylish! What more could one ask for? They can make any outfit into a summer outfit. And since they come in different heights, they are perfect for every woman. If you enjoy staying close to the ground, or just prefer to wear smaller heels period, these one inch to two-inch wedges are the best for you. They’re comfy, but still give your legs a longer, leaner look. And let’s face it, you’re already tall so flaunt it! Even if … [Read more...]
Guest Blog: Pretty Summer Dresses for your Tall Body Shape
By: Joyce Huang Tall women come in all different shapes and that should be embraced. As much as we would like to be, we’re not all molded like Gisele. Whether you have an athletic and straight build, or have lots of curves, there are easy styling tips just for you. We want you to be able to easily dress yourself when you look in your closet, not shake your head in frustration and say “I have nothing to wear.” Keep reading to see inspiration looks, specifically for your body type. THE THIN BUILD When you have a straight and thin build, be happy. Models get paid lots of money to look like you. However, there might be times where you want to create the illusion of curves. Opt for dresses that have ruffles, tiers, prints and embellishments. You want to create volume. We also love belting at the waist to 1) accentuate your tiny waist, but 2) this literally will carve out a curve in your clothing to make give off the look of an hourglass figure. For your accessories, stack a … [Read more...]
Color Blocking for your Feet
I love summer. I love sandals. I love color. I love color blocking. How do all these loves unite? Let me show you! Bright colors are all the rage. Why not brighten up those feet and toes along with the rest of your wardrobe. Wearing bright shoes is such a fun and easy way to make your look pop. Add bright and coordinating toenail polish and you get a winning combo. For these lovely sandals, I chose toenail polish that didn't match precisely but complimented the color of the sandals. I think my favorite combination is the T strap patent yellow sandal with the Pixi red-orange polish. What's your favorite combo?! Combo 1: "Newly" Wedge Sandal in Red Multi up to sz 12 + Deborah Lippmann Polish in "Fashion." Combo 2: "Chlambake" Sandal in Blue up to sz 12 + Deborah Lippmann Polish in "Yellow Brick Road."
