Olivia Wilde's pooch Paco is no dirty dog. In fact, the actress's 11-year-old mutt is so neat that she wants her infant son to follow his lead.

'He has an awesome habit of leaving his toys in a perfectly organized pile,' Wilde tells O, The Oprah Magazine in its July issue.

'It looks like I’ve trained him into submission, but he’s naturally orderly and well behaved. I’m praying that my child takes after him!'

Wilde, who welcomed baby Otis two months ago, could likely use Paco's discipline to keep her own trinkets tidy. The 30-year-old star says you can find miniature objects, including tiny furniture, cameras and trees, scattered around her house.

And miniatures aren't her only design obsession.

“If you were to peek inside my closet, you’d think I was a newscaster or a politician - I have dozens of blazers,' she adds, citing an unlikely source of fashion inspiration. 'I always buy them, thinking they’ll pull together an outfit, but then never wear them. My assortment rivals Rachel Maddow’s.'

But when it comes to fancy footwear, it's actually fiance Jason Sudeikis's collection of kicks that takes up serious space in their home.

'He’s a sneakerhead with about 200 pairs of Air Jordans,' Wilde reveals. 'They make up an extraordinarily colorful wall in our apartment. Guests always expect me to have too many shoes!'

Wilde, who gave birth to Otis April 20, has been spotted looking perfectly svelte, taking her son for a walk on the streets of Manhattan, and sporting curve-hugging jeans on the set of her untitled HBO rock 'n' roll drama.

While Sudeikis credited sex with helping him lose weight in an interview with Elle last year, Wilde has found additional methods for staying active. For example, she tells O that she and Daniel Craig learned  how to paddleboard on a lake from Jon Favreau while shooting 2011's Cowboys & Aliens in New Mexico.

'Daniel sank because he was too muscly, but my girl parts helped me balance!  Jon gave me a board as a parting gift, and it’s become a lovely pastime – like surfing with training wheels.'

But her ultimate pick-me-up? A solo reggae dance party.

'I fell in love with the music as a kid and was the girl who had Bob Marley posters in her boarding school dorm room.  Whenever it’s sadville outside, I’ll blast Toots & the Maytals to create my own tropical island paradise.'

Regarding the bottom outfit - I have a long waist like she does and an easy fix for that outfit is to position the belt higher, which would make her legs look longer and her more balanced overall.
