Petite Chicks in Summery Flicks

Petite Chicks in Summery Flicks

Just like the smell of freshly mown grass, a BBQ or a trip to the seaside, the summer film is firmly entrenched in our vision of the season. Tales of summer love played out against sun soaked backdrops fill us with nostalgia and an eager anticipation for ice cream weather. To rev up our spring/summer style inspiration, we’ve chosen 4 petite leading ladies from 4 very different summery films.

 1. Mila Kunis in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’
