WALKING IN HEELS
1. Stand
up straight in the heels. Make sure your knees are straight.
2. Try to
lift yourself up out of the heels (1 inch).
If you can, this means the pitch and
height are good for you. If you can’t, this means the heel is probably too high
for you to handle.
Heel then toe! Your walk should be as
normal as possible; there is no need to distort your legs or knees in order to
walk properly.

Personal Fashion Style
Guide to Developing Your Own Unique Personal Style
Let me begin by saying that finding your personal fashion style is about getting to know yourself. It's about being connected with the very essence of who YOU are - and be confident about it!
So WHAT exactly is the YOU and what does it have to do with fashion?
Imagine a world (call it "Sameville") where everybody wore the same clothes. A place where they had the same style and liked the same things. Now that wouldn't exactly be the most colourful and stimulating world... would it? But the sad reality is - the majority of people tend to go this route when it comes to clothes! So this is where developing your style comes into the picture. Dare to be yourself and wear the clothes that express the unique and fabulous person you are! Colour this life with shapes, colours and styles - and be the shining example of the beauty of diversity.Creating your own personal style is the art of combining an outfit, or an image if you will, based on the various aspects of your personality and lifestyle, which consists of:
Your taste, interests, desires, inspirations, aspirations and history. You bring a couple (or all) of them together and let it shine in the way you dress. But of course, only the aspects you want to express and show to the world!
Why Is It Important to Develop a Personal Fashion Style?
Oh, the reasons are many but it's mainly to feel and look good! Creating your unique style helps you achieve a sense of confidence and comfort in how you put together an outfit. This sets you apart from the rest - the awkward-looking fashion victims you see out there on the street and in the cookie-cutter media.Fashion and style are two different things but similar in so many ways.Fashion is about looks and image that are popular in a specific time and period. Style on the other hand, is more about expressing your individuality through clothes, and it doesn't have an expiration date. It's more REAL.Fashion gives you the inspiration, ideas and the nudge to dare - and style is what you make out of it.It takes a lot of trial and error to find your personal clothing style, so don't worry about making mistakes along the way. In fact, developing your personal fashion style is a journey not a destination. Experimenting and just having fun help you get to know yourself better :-)
Style = Individuality
Once you connect with your core fashion persona, your style will improve and you'll look fabulous. This will radiate through the way you dress. You'll feel good and and attract the same admirations clothes-horses like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe are (still) getting!"Wear something you feel gorgeous in and don't try too hard; it's much sexier when it appears effortless. Clothes that don't fit, or don't fit the wearer's personality, don't help."
Marilyn Monroe had the curves and personality to create that feminine, sexy image which she was known for.
Imagine if we put her signature halter dress on slim-trim sporty and sophisticated Audrey Hepburn? Uh-uh.. Imagine how out of place she would feel! Audrey's straight, minimal tee shirt and pants on curvy Marilyn? Don't get me started ;-) See why some trends and clothing styles you see in magazines just don't look good on some people?

CHIC -FASHION
What Chic Style Is
.. and the Differences between Fashion & Style"
Chic derives from the French word 'chique' which means skills and elegance - and over the past few decades it has been used to refer to a woman as smart and stylish.
"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."

Chic Fashion: Stylish without Being a Slave for Fashion
Chic is basically a word that describes a person who is fashionable, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they have to wear the latest and hottest looks. It means you wear what looks good on you, and that you know how to work with what you've got and flaunt it without looking like victim of fashion (aka trying too hard). You also follow the current fashion trends but with a critical eye. In essence, it is called having a timeless sense of style.. Which is EXACTLY what describes the concept of the thechicfashionista.com. However I also try to encourage you to take risks and follow your true style to keep your wardrobe modern, fun and exciting!
For Me Chic Fashion Is:
Timeless, classy and closet smart
Feminine
Self-expression

It's the type of fashion that is a part of my clothing personality and that I personally love. And that's why you'll see that I refer to it frequently :-)
Despite that chic fashion is considered classy, I also try to add other fashion styles such as Boho, Trendy and some Urban (a little bit of everything really) because I truly believe that having a great sense of style is about being self-expressive and really bring out to bring out different parts of your personality and mood in the way you dress. It keeps your style ever-fresh :)
