Wouldn't it be nice if you could eat whatever you wanted, blow off working out and still fit in your skinny jeans?

That translates into burning about 400 fewer calories each day, which could mean gaining a pound a week. But there's plenty you can do to rev your fat-burning furnace back up again, says Peeke. Here's the skinny:

· Don't go flat. Heels are tricky at an outdoor wedding, but flats don't feel right with a formal dress. Wedges are great for lawn receptions. If a wedding is on sand, I wear embellished sandals, though I often take them off and go barefoot.

Nigeria`s Top Models

Top Nigeria model Warebi Martha Ebigbabor shares her tips on how to work it on and off the ramp.

On the Ramp

- I breathe in, keep my shoulders high, my head up and pout.

- Sometimes, my right hand is on my hips depending on the outfit and what  the producers/designer wants.

- I make sure I either smile with my eyes or just keep a straight look as the run demands.

- When I am wearing a short dress my legs must not be wide open.

- For a long smooth elegant dress, my pose is always elegant and I usually incorporate a sleek bend to the side.

Off the Ramp

- I love to always cross my legs and look into the cameras.
