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.

 

The higher your heel, the smaller you’ll want your stride to be.

 

 

 

Walking in heels can be as easy as abcd, just focus and believe in yourself and set a goal which will assist you in achieving what you desire in a specific time frame.If one woman can walk elegantly in heels , then we all can with no doubt.

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

  • Chic fashion pearl necklace
    Basic pieces such as a pair of black slacks, string of pearls and a white shirt are the sole foundation of chic fashion style. The way you dress your coloring, body figure and personal clothing personality show in your smart closet choices.


  • Feminine

  • Chic fashion lipstick
    It's about getting in touch with your womanly side and being playful. Flirt through the clothes you wear - put on some red lipstick if you feel sexy (or simply to feel extra sexy). Be girly with a short flouncy skirt. Play up your legs with bright coloured tights or lace leggings. Cinch that waist with a belt. Check out the beautiful Parisians and Italians and you'll see what I mean!


  • Self-expression

  • Chic fashion self expression


    You dare to bring out different aspects of your mood, personality and lifestyle in the way you dress despite what the catwalk and fashion magazines are saying is 'in' or 'out'. Even though your style is timeless, you know how to cherry-pick the best details and clothes from the current fashion trends and make it yours. You know how to stretch your style envelope without making it look too much. But most important of all, you're constantly finding ways to express yourself and stretch your style envelope.

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 :-)

The chic fashionista Anna Villaruel says 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 :)
