<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#800080;"><strong><em>Fashion, Fashion, Fashion!!!</em></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#800080;"><strong><em><a href="http://cyndyxtra.wordpress.com/files/2010/01/new311.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-20" title="new311" src="http://cyndyxtra.wordpress.com/files/2010/01/new311.jpg?w=107" alt="" width="107" height="150" /></a></em></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#800080;"><strong><em>&#8220;I have always had a deep passion for Couture fashion from as far back as  I can remember; The past 20 years or so, I have been fortunate enough to put my skills to use consulting, styling and  dressing countless women providing advice on wedding night lingerie to boardroom suits&#8221; </em></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#800080;"><strong><em> </em></strong></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#999999;"><strong> Cynthia studied Fashion at the London College of Fashion before going on to set up her own successful Bridal and Evening-Wear company catering to affluent private socialites in West London and abroad. </strong></span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#999999;"><strong>She is highly innovative and has her own unique style.  Using her ability to discern new fashion trends, she has designed and made clothing for several well known music industry artistes and labels such as EMI. </strong></span></em></p>
<p><span style="color:#999999;"><strong><em>Cynthia is involved in raising standards in education to include those that are marginalised by society through her work in producing training programmes and resources that promote well being, self-help and personal development.  She believes in encouraging others to develop healthy lifestyles and habits.</em>  </strong></span></p>

<description><![CDATA[   This is my favourite gown &#8211; inspired by the traditional &#8216;Sari&#8217; worn by Asian wo]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p><a href="http://cyndyxtra.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/newest19-gabrielle.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-24 alignnone" title="newest19.Gabrielle" src="http://cyndyxtra.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/newest19-gabrielle.jpg?w=81" alt="" width="81" height="150" /></a> This is my favourite gown &#8211; inspired by the traditional &#8216;Sari&#8217; worn by Asian women. The  richness and range of colour present at indian weddings inspired much of my earlier collections and designs, together with their love of  intricate and elaborate embroideries. I have always tried to emulate this richness , through colour, cut or surface embellishment. </p>
<p>My dream&#8230; is to visit India and the Asian continent someday to experience and satisfy my childhood yearning  of the craft and skills required to produce such delicate pieces of work. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This dress featured is &#8216;Gabrielle&#8217; and is by far my best selling Bridal gown; the style (like its predesessor) is timeless in design and, popular because like all of my work, it is custom made to suit the needs and requirements of the client. The main fabric colour is availalble to suit, plus a choice of silver, white or gold lace ensures every gown is as individual as the women who wear it. </p>
<div class="mceTemp"><span style="color:#ff9900;">CORSETRY</span></div>
<div class="mceTemp"><span style="color:#ff9900;"> </span></div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align:justify;">The style  featured below demonstrates my skills in creating corsets that work as part of Gown (as shown), but equally as a little number for  honeymoon, party or special occasion.</div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align:justify;">The Corset featured is adjusted to suit the requirements of the clients and, is available in a range of different cloths and finishes dependant on use.</div>
<div class="mceTemp">
<div id="attachment_9" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 197px"><a href="http://cyndyxtra.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/kate1.gif"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9" title="Kate" src="http://cyndyxtra.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/kate1.gif?w=187" alt="" width="187" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Lace up back Corset</p></div>
<p> Perhaps you have design  ideas  that you would like to recreate for  a special occasion or to suit your own wardrobe. Please leave your comments below.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://fashionbite.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/sales-shopping.jpg"><img src="http://fashionbite.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/sales-shopping.jpg?w=280" alt="" title="sales shopping" width="280" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1276" /></a> </p>
<p>&#8230;.by award winning <a href="http://www.istylista.com">personal stylist </a>and <a href="http://www.istylista.com">iStylista.com</a> founder Chantelle Znideric. </p>
<ul>
<li> &#8220;Create a wish-list in the run up to Christmas, make a note of items that you&#8217;d LOVE to buy if only they were that little bit cheaper. Make a note of the store you have seen the item in so you can hit it first. Try the item on beforehand so you know exactly the right size you need (and note it down) this means you don’t have to stand for ages in the fitting room queues come Sale time. Hopefully you will strike gold and find that the item is on sale with a huge reduction! </li>
<li> Set yourself a budget that you can <u>afford</u>. Sale shopping can be impulsive when you’re caught up in the moment so it&#8217;s pointless trying to save money if it leads you into debt.</li>
<li> When Sale shopping, stick to items on your list. This should limit naughty, impulsive buying and remember to buy with your head, not your heart.</li>
<li> Avoid looking at the reduction. This is a technique used to lure you into parting with your cash. Instead buy based on price alone! </li>
<li> We buy clothes because we love them but before making your purchase really think about the reasons why you are buying it &#8230; is it just because it&#8217;s cheap? To help you make this decision think about what else your item will go with in your existing wardrobe and then work out how much potential wear you will get out of it. </li>
<li>  Some items may be marked down because it’s faulty, so always give your item a full check before you buy, as some sale policies won’t allow you to return an item! </li>
<li> Take advantage of the services of a sales assistant. If you can&#8217;t see the item you are after, they might be able to locate stock in another store or in the back room. Be prepared to wait for their services as they&#8217;re bound to be busy! </li>
<li> If the thought of making a trip into town is too much for you then there is nothing better than sitting at your computer and making the purchase online. You will have to pay postage and packing but it is a great feeling knowing that you are not getting caught up in the crowds. The discounts that you get off your items will contribute to the postage and packing costs, so all in all a great option! </li>
<li> Always make sure at the time of purchase to check what the stores return policy is, they all differ and sometimes for Sale items the policies are different to the normal ones. This will also save you time because you could potentially get away with buying an item without trying it on, rather than queuing at a busy changing room, and then return it at a later date if it’s not suitable. Also, some stores won’t give full refunds on Sale goods so be aware of that.&#8221; </li>
<p><i> iStylista is a fab fashion website with a difference, not only does it bring you product from leading online retailers- it offers a <a href="http://www.istylista.com">personal styling</a> service to go with it. Once you&#8217;ve completed your profile, stylists will handpick items to suit your individual specifications&#8230;the personal touch of a store online! </i></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/getting-dressed.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-278  aligncenter" title="getting dressed" src="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/getting-dressed.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>   </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">In an era when most people live in jeans (oh wait, is that just me?), receiving an invitation in the mail with &#8220;Black Tie Only&#8221; or &#8220;Dressy Casual Preferred&#8221; at the bottom can leave you asking, &#8220;so what do I wear?&#8221;  I&#8217;ll tell you.   </p>
<p>Now in this instance I see no need to reinvent the wheel.  I&#8217;m going to borrow from <a href="http://www.howtodothings.com/node/17379/print" target="_blank">Thomas Hart&#8217;s article on HowtoDoThings.com</a> for this one.  Mind you, Mr. Hart appears to be a bit of a snob, judging from his opinion of party hosts that request casual attire (see below), but we&#8217;ll forgive him because the information is concise and to the point&#8230; just like I like it.  Since he covers the men&#8217;s attire in good detail, I&#8217;ve added some pictures of the women&#8217;s dress to clarify further.  Here we go&#8230;   </p>
<p><em>Here are the possible phrases you&#8217;ll see on your invitation:</em>   </p>
<ul>
<li><em>White Tie: The most formal possible. Women wear full-length gowns with a crinoline. Men wear black pants, a black tail coat, white tuxedo shirt with bow-tie and a top hat with optional white kid gloves.</em></li>
</ul>
<div id="attachment_269" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 100px"><a href="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/formal-ball-gown.jpg"><em><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-269" title="Formal Ball Gown" src="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/formal-ball-gown.jpg?w=90" alt="" width="90" height="150" /></em></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ball Gown (White Tie)</p></div>
<ul>
<li><em>Black Tie/Formal: Second on the formal scale, this includes a straight gown for women and, for men, a black tuxedo with no hat.</em></li>
</ul>
<p class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align:center;">
<dl class="wp-caption aligncenter">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a rel="attachment wp-att-268" href="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/tuesday-tips-tricks-always-appropriate/evening-gown/"><em><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-268  " title="Evening Gown" src="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/evening-gown.jpg?w=120" alt="" width="120" height="150" /></em></a></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Evening Gown (Black Tie/Formal)</dd>
</dl>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:left;"><em>Semi formal/Informal: This actually does not mean &#8216;informal&#8217; in the way you or I would naturally use the word, but it is less formal than the first two options. The men are in black suits and the women in dark knee-length dresses.  </em>
<div id="attachment_275" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 130px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-275" href="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/tuesday-tips-tricks-always-appropriate/cocktail/"><em><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-275" title="Cocktail" src="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/cocktail.jpg?w=120" alt="" width="120" height="150" /></em></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Semi-formal/Cocktail</p></div></li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><em>Cocktail: Men wear dark suits and women wear fun knee-length dresses, </em></li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><em>Dressy Casual: Men wear blazers or sports jackets, a white dress shirt and black dress pants, while the ladies wear skirts and blouses.</em></li>
<li style="text-align:left;"><em>Business: Men wear blazers or sports jackets with a coloured shirt and khakis or dark denim. Women can wear skirts or dress pants. </em></li>
</ul>
<p><div id="attachment_276" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 122px"><a href="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/geo-print-wrap-dress.jpg"><em><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-276" title="geo-print-wrap-dress" src="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/geo-print-wrap-dress.jpg?w=112" alt="" width="112" height="150" /></em></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Work or dinner (Business)</p></div>
<ul>
<li><em>Casual: Either gender what they please, within reason. Use good judgement if the host or hostess is un-classy enough to mistakenly allow this type of dress at his of her party. </em>
<p><div id="attachment_277" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 122px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-277" href="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/tuesday-tips-tricks-always-appropriate/going-out/"><em><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-277 " title="Going out" src="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/going-out.jpg?w=112" alt="" width="112" height="150" /></em></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Casual (Remember, it&#39;s a party)</p></div></li>
</ul>
<p><em>&#8220;Here are the specific instructions for a men&#8217;s Black Tie dress code. </em> </p>
<div id="stepscontainer">
<div id="stepheader"><em>Step 1:</em></div>
<p><em><strong>You need to wear a white tuxedo shirt</strong>. This means one with vertical pleats on the chest area and French cuffs (the ones that allow for the use of cuff links).  </em> </p>
<div id="stepheader"><em>Step 2:</em></div>
<p><em><strong>Wear a black tuxedo</strong>. This does not include one that has tails, but please be sure that the pants to the tuxedo have the obligatory black satin strip running down the outside seam of the leg and satin lapels.   </em> </p>
<div id="stepheader"><em>Step 3:</em></div>
<p><em><strong>You need a black silk neck tie</strong>.  </em> </p>
<div id="stepheader"><em>Step 4:</em></div>
<p><em><strong>Black patent leather shoes are a must</strong>. This means the high gloss leather ones. And refrain from wearing the velvet tuxedo slipper in the day.  </em> </p>
<div id="stepheader"><em>Step 5:</em></div>
<p><em><strong>Remember your silver or gold cuff links</strong>.  </em> </p>
<div id="stepheader"><em>Step 6:</em></div>
<p><em><strong>A thin black belt or thin black suspenders</strong>.  </em> </p>
<div id="stepheader"><em>Step 7:</em></div>
<p><em><strong>A cummerbund is optional, and must be black</strong>. This should be worn with the fold facing upwards.  </em> </p>
<div id="stepheader"><em>Step 8:</em></div>
<p><em><strong>Black sock are absolutely not optional</strong>; they are necessary with dark pants.  </em> </p>
<div id="stepheader"><em>Step 9: </em></div>
<div><em>  </em></div>
<div>
<div><em><strong>Do not wear a top hat and white kid gloves</strong>. But a white silk scarf can be worn outdoors in the cooler months. </em></div>
</div>
<p><em>  </em> </p>
<p><em>Yes, this type of dress code is very formal. And no, not everyone will obey the rules, but please do not dress down just because you know other silly and misinformed people are going to. There is nothing wrong with being the best-dressed one at the party. Just don&#8217;t out-dress the host or hostess, who should possess the good manners to obey the rules they dictated for the partygoers, rather than going above this to the next level of dress.&#8221;  </em> </p>
<p>So know you can&#8217;t say you didn&#8217;t know!  Hopefully you&#8217;ll get invited to some fabulous parties this holiday season and you&#8217;ll be perfectly appropriate!   </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>O que usar neste natal?</strong> É uma dúvida que paira na cabeça de muitas pessoas nessa época do ano.<br />
Para encontrar a roupa perfeita para celebrar o seu natal, deve-se primeiro analisar esses <strong>5 itens básicos abaixo</strong>, exatamente nesta ordem:</p>
<ul>
<li>em que tipo de evento você vai &#8211; casual, formal, social</li>
<li> sua cartela de cores naturais &#8211; tom de pele, cabelo, olhos, tatuagens, etc</li>
<li>formato do corpo</li>
<li> gostos pessoais</li>
<li> o que está na moda este ano <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">e o que não está e não podemos usar de jeito nenhum</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Criei alguns looks no site <a href="http://www.bymk.com.br/usuarios/9194">byMK</a> para inspirar as leitoras do meu blog e facilitar na hora de escolher seus looks natalinos. Separei em duas partes, uma para cada tipo de evento:</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ef70ab;">Natal Informal/Casual</span></h1>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Essas opções são para as leitoras que celebrarão o natal apenas com a família e amigos próximos, <strong>em casa ou na casa de algum parente/amigo</strong>.<br />
Neste tipo de evento <strong>não exige tanta sofisticação e nenhum dress code</strong>, portanto as peças podem ser mais confortáveis, coloridas e pode-se usar aquilo que combina com sua individualidade (mas é claro sem perder a importância dessa data tão linda).<br />
Dê uma incrementada na roupa do dia-a-dia, mas <strong>cuidado para não exagerar hein</strong>! Afinal de contas a vovó não vai gostar muito de ver você vestida toda de punk rock #rebeldefeelings, hippie mendigona ou com sainhas à la Geyse jantando em sua mesa no Natal (nada contra esses estilos, mas natal é uma celebração familiar e devemos respeitar os mais velhos que não são acostumados com toda a liberdade que possuímos hoje em dia).</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Essas já são opções para quem vai em alguma festa de Natal fora de casa, tipo <strong>balada</strong> mesmo. <strong>Lembrem-se:</strong> balada de natal não é qualquer festinha, <strong>tem</strong> que ir chique e mais arrumado do que o normal &#8211; dress code exige isso por ser uma noite especial! <strong>Nada de rasteirinha e shortinho gente, por favor</strong>!<br />
O ideal são vestidos mini ou até o joelho. Nessa data <strong>fuja</strong> dos vestidos <strong>vermelhos</strong> (fica clichezão de mais e você corre o risco de ser chamada de mamãe noel), <strong>brancos</strong> (guarde para o Reveillon) e <strong>preto</strong> (ele lembra luto e não é nada celebrativo).<br />
Gordinhas do meu Brasil: <strong>não é o preto que emagrece</strong>, <strong>e sim a modelagem e corte certos do vestido</strong>. Fiquem de olho nisso e se joguem nas cores!<br />
Aliás, o Natal pode ser bem colorido para todas, afinal é uma celebração não é mesmo? Minha dica então para esse ano é investir nas <strong>cores</strong> e nos<strong> brilhos</strong>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/shopping.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-259 alignnone" title="shopping" src="http://stylesuccess.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/shopping.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="297" /></a></p>
<p>Have you ever been to a consignment shop?  If you answered &#8220;no&#8221; my reply would be &#8220;why the heck not?!&#8221;  I love good consignment shops.  Unlike thrift shops, a good consignment shop owner/buyer has a discriminatory eye and only accepts items that look new and usually focus and well-known brands or unique items. </p>
<p>As a seller it&#8217;s a fantastic way to declutter your closet without having to feel guilty that you&#8217;re throwing away items in good condition.  Do you have any clothes in your closet that still have the tags on them?  You know, one of those things you look at and think, &#8220;what was I smoking the day I bought that?!&#8221;  Well, you can make a little return on your money by selling the garment through a consignment shop.  Plus, you&#8217;ll have the peace of knowing that the garment has found a new home&#8230;. not in YOUR closet.</p>
<p>As a shopper at a consignment shop you can find unique items at a fraction of their original cost.  The last time I was in to my favorite local shop I bought two long cardigan sweaters, the kind you see in all the stores right now, for about $10 EACH.  Most consignment shops will also sell some new accessories to make an outfit.  Some of favorite items to look for at a resale shop are special event garments (because they are normally only worn a few times, if not once), jeans (because they&#8217;re already worn in) and purses/bags.  But I always find something I love and don&#8217;t have to feel guilty buying because the price is amazing.</p>
<p>An added bonus to shopping at a resale shop is that you&#8217;re supporting a local business.  Most consignment shops are run by their owners who take great pride in their store and community.  It&#8217;s always great to help support local business owners, especially in today&#8217;s economy.  In a season where you&#8217;re spending a lot of cash on other people&#8217;s gifts, consider a consignment shop for finding your holiday party outfits! </p>
<p>To find the shops in your area just search &#8220;consignment shop&#8221; or &#8220;resale shop&#8221;. </p>
<p>In the Ann Arbor area I recommend:</p>
<p>The Resale Boutique  107 East Michigan Ave, Saline, MI  734-295-3030  <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Saline-MI/The-Resale-Boutique/230749620018?v=wall">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Saline-MI/The-Resale-Boutique/230749620018?v=wall</a></p>
<p>Happy shopping!!</p>
<p>Want help finding that holiday party outfit?  Want to give someone a gift certificate to boost their style confidence?  I&#8217;m your girl!  Check out my site: <a href="http://www.stylesuccess.net">http://www.stylesuccess.net</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://maisbonitamk.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tagcomqueroupablog24.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2656" title="tagcomqueroupablog2" src="http://maisbonitamk.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tagcomqueroupablog24.gif" alt="" width="300" height="40" /></a> Vestidos são perfeitos para o clima quente que está fazendo. Nada mais feminino que, uma mulher de vestido. E adequado. Independente da sua atividade profissional existem várias opções que se encaixam, a gama é infinita.</p>
<p>Nessa matéria, dois exemplos ilustrativos selecionados, baseados em cortes e adequação para a mulher com silhueta em triângulo invertido.  Um vestido royal clean, moderno, fashion, super apropriado para ser usado de dia, para passeio ou à trabalho, apropriado mais para mulheres que tenha seu próprio negócio, atue em moda, design ou afins&#8230;pelas próprias características da roupa. Nunca como funcionária de uma empresa tradicional ou que atue em vendas, contato no mundo corporativo.</p>
<p>A segunda coordenação, é bem feminina, sexy, mas não vulgar. Igualmente como o outro exemplo, pode ser usado à passeio, ou no trabalho. Tudo dependerá da sua atividade, se executiva de uma empresa de acessórios de moda por exemplo é aceitável, há várias opções mas devem sempre respeitar as regras:  adequação com o ambiente que atua, filosofia da empresa, hierarquia, funcionalidade ( o fato de usar sapatos meia-pata que são o IN e tem saltos altos, não impedem de serem usados para trabalhar, mas sim, no que e se está de acordo com sua atividade &#8211; existem meia-patas híper confortáveis apesar de terem saltos altos, mais que determinadas sapatilhas, scarpins caretas que esmagam os dedos ).</p>
<p>Já ouvi tolices e mitos de moda que não cabem mais no contexto atual. Acho que gosto é algo pessoal e que está intimamente ligado à cultura e meio em que a pessoa vive e convive. Tem espaço para todos, e devemos respeitar, mas algo é inevitável dizer: bom gosto e estética de beleza é universal, logo não há o que contestar. Ser radical demais em qualquer aspecto, seja na apresentação (over por vezes) ou na postura não combina com equilíbrio e leva a estar mais próxima de errar.</p>
<p>Seguem as duas sugestões:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://maisbonitamk.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vestido-summertriangulo.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2658  aligncenter" title="vestido summertriangulo" src="http://maisbonitamk.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vestido-summertriangulo.png" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></a></p>

<description><![CDATA[Inverno 2010 Ronaldo Silvestre Femininas e sensuais as rendas aparecem mais uma vez nas passarelas. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_420" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 300px"><img class="size-full wp-image-420" title="RonaldoSilvestre_02" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ronaldosilvestre_02.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="420" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Inverno 2010 Ronaldo Silvestre</p></div>
<p>Femininas e sensuais as rendas aparecem mais uma vez nas passarelas. Em seu <em>Pequeno Dicionário de Moda</em>, o estilista Christian Dior fala sobre o valor delas em um look, mas alerta pelos cuidados que precisamos ter ao escolher uma peça desse material. O primeiro deles é para não parecer antiquada e o segundo, para não deixar a produção pesada demais. Um vestido todo de renda é lindo, mas deve ser de um modelo simples.</p>
<p>Lembre-se que rendas, assim como cores fortes e outros detalhes, chama a atenção para o local onde foi colocada. Escolha seu ponto forte para ser destacado por ela. Aqui vale, e muito, lembrar que cores claras &#8220;aumentam&#8221; e escuras &#8220;diminuem&#8221;. Deve-se tomar cuidado também para não parecer vulgar. Uma blusa de renda não deve ter um decote enorme, bem como as saias não devem ser curtinhas.</p>
<p>No desfile que homenageia sua avó, R. Rosner propôs uma forma moderna de adotar as rendas: elas viraram estampas lindíssimas! O desenho da renda ampliada em  estamparia é aposta certa para o inverno. As fotos da Casa de Criadores são do site <a href="http://www.chic.com.br">Chic</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_422" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-422" title="rrosner_renda" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rrosner_renda.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="290" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Inverno 2010 R. Rosner</p></div>
<p>Além das roupas, acessórios em renda também são uma ótima forma de compôr o visual e estão em alta. Inspire-se com o sapato Nina Ricci e com a bolsa Prada.</p>
<div id="attachment_424" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class="size-full wp-image-424" title="prada_inv08" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/prada_inv08.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="424" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Inverno 2008 Prada</p></div>
<div id="attachment_425" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 330px"><img class="size-full wp-image-425" title="ninaricci_verao2010" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ninaricci_verao2010.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="480" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Verão 2010 Nina Ricci</p></div>
<p>Quer mais inspiração? Uma proposta jovial para usar renda é combinando com uma saia moderninha de cintura alta. O look faz parte do editorial de verão 08/09 da Conbase, que produzi ano passado. Ao lado o detalhe da renda, foto feita no backstage do photo shoot.</p>
<div id="attachment_426" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-426" title="conbase_verao0809" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/conbase_verao0809.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Verão 2008/2009 Conbase</p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Depois de aprender <a href="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/2009/11/18/fininhos-para-o-verao-parte-i/">dicas básicas para usar os cintos finos do verão</a>, vamos conhecer alguns dos modelos que mais encontramos nas coleções dessa temporada. A largura varia de medianos à finíssimos e os modelos vão de étnicos com detalhes trecê até os mais pesados com argolas de metal e rebites. Cintos com lacinho são <em>hit</em>, sejam eles em tons neutros ou coloridos. As que gostam dos modelos com estampa de animal devem preferir os finíssimos por serem mais discretos e, consequentemente, mais fáceis de usar. Modelos de corrente estão em alta, podendo ser inteiros ou com a parte da fivela em couro ou outro material. Tem para todos os estilos, seja sempre fiel ao seu!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Os vestidos de noiva estão aparecendo cada vez mais discretos&#8230;com toques extras de feminilidad]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Os vestidos de noiva estão aparecendo cada vez mais discretos&#8230;com toques extras de feminilidade que valorizam o corpo da mulher e o momento especial que vive.</p>
<p>O charme fica por conta dos detalhes sutis: drapeados, aplicações de flores, bordados, rendas, recortes que dão volume às saias, etc. Tudo muito bem pensado para destacar a noiva.</p>
<p>Hoje em dia existem inúmeros modelos, mas a busca do vestido de noiva perfeito é longa pois estará fazendo parte de um dos momentos mais importantes da vida de uma mulher. Ele deve ser adequado ao seu estilo e corpo, de forma a valorizar ainda mais sua personalidade!</p>
<p>Para as mulheres baxinhas é interessante buscar modelos que alonguem a silhueta, com decotes que formem linhas verticais no corpo, como o modelo de um ombro só da foto&#8230;seus detalhes são sutis, mas sua forma pouco volumosa ajuda a alongar esse corpo, junto com o modelo do decote que têm a mesma função.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-367 aligncenter" title="Flores, pedrarias e muito charme" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/1.jpg?w=199" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></p>
<p>As mais cheinhas podem buscar modelos mais justos ao corpo ou acinturados. Os vestidos com saias muito volumosas como o modelo &#8220;princesa&#8221; dão a impressão de que esse corpo é ainda maior. Se for usar acinturados, prefira saias com corte evasê, que não ficam muito coladas e possuem um volume equilibrado&#8230;. exemplo da foto a seguir:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-368 aligncenter" title="Ciintura e volume na medida certa" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/2.jpg?w=199" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></p>
<p>Os estilistas cada vez mais têm apostado em pedrarias e aplicações em flores, aqui vão alguns modelos para apreciarem:</p>

<div id="attachment_370" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 221px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-370 " title="6" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/6.jpg?w=211" alt="" width="211" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Transparência e feminilidade</p></div>
<div id="attachment_371" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 222px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-371 " title="7" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/7.jpg?w=212" alt="" width="212" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Recortes inusitados modelo Princesa</p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;">Não poderia deixar de registrar alguns momentos e produções de vestimentas de pessoas, como profissional também da área, selecionei algumas fotos, com base na diversidade de estilos, biotipos&#8230;que achei interessantes para apresentar.</p>
<p>Local: Bijóias &#8211; segunda-feira dia 16/11</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://maisbonitamk.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bijoiasestiloum.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2539  aligncenter" title="bijoiasestiloum" src="http://maisbonitamk.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bijoiasestiloum.png" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></a></p>
<p>Temperatura quente, pessoas circulando pelos corredores e dentro dos stands, um mix de gostos&#8230; vi desde mulheres com shortinhos, botas (acredite), combinações super estranhas, de estilo indefinido. Mas também algumas de bom gosto, personalidade, classe e adequação.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://maisbonitamk.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/g3577.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2824  aligncenter" title="g3577" src="http://maisbonitamk.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/g3577.png" alt="" width="450" height="341" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://maisbonitamk.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bijoiasestilodois.png"></a></p>
<p>Apesar da grande predominância de mulheres, não poderia deixar de mostrar entre alguns, um representante da classe masculina. E mais uma coordenação bacana feminina. Veja abaixo.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://maisbonitamk.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bijoiasestilotres2.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2543  aligncenter" title="bijóiasestilotres" src="http://maisbonitamk.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bijoiasestilotres2.png" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></a>Todas as fotos foram autorizadas pelas pessoas, que estão nessa matéria, cientes do uso para essa finalidade no blog.</p>

<description><![CDATA[A cintura continua em evidência. Porém, depois de muitas temporadas com cintões, é a vez dos cintos ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A cintura continua em evidência. Porém, depois de muitas temporadas com cintões, é a vez dos cintos mais finos darem o ar da sua graça. Eles são mais femininos e mais &#8220;fáceis&#8221;, pois marcam a cintura sem chamar muito a atenção; assim eles podem ser usados mesmo por quem não está tão magrinha. Esses cintos apareceram bastante nas coleções internacionais para o verão 2010. Aí vão alguns looks que ensinam a usar os cintinhos:</p>
<div id="attachment_329" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-329" title="cintofino_celine" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cintofino_celine.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Verão 2010 Celine </p></div>
<p>Cintos sobre saias e vestidos são um charme! Para mulheres de tronco curto e baixas, que não querem ter a sensação visual de estarem cortadas ao meio pela linha do cinto, o ideal é usar o acessório da mesma cor da roupa ou em tonalidade bem semelhante.</p>
<div id="attachment_330" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-330" title="cintofino_burberryprorsum" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cintofino_burberryprorsum.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Verão 2010 Burberry Prorsum</p></div>
<p>Truque de passarela válido para o dia-a-dia: amarrar o sinto fino ao invés de afivelá-lo. Cores naturais são um ótimo investimento por serem facilmente coordenáveis com outras peças do guarda-roupa. Invista nelas!</p>
<div id="attachment_332" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-332" title="cintofino_albertaferretti" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cintofino_albertaferretti.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Verão 2010 Alberta Ferretti</p></div>
<p>Os coloridos são perfeitos para dar um toque de cor ao look neutro. A vantagem do cinto fino é que o contraste muito forte entre cores, que por cuidado sempre tentamos evitar, não aparece tanto já que a área ocupada pelo cinto é pequena. Mesmo que o acessório seja de um tom forte ele não irá causar muito contraste, diminuindo o risco de erro.</p>
<p>No próximo post, modelos de cinto fino e onde encontrá-los.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Tachas, rebites, correntes e outras referências vindas do rock, tendência que a Tu já comentou aqui,]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Tachas, rebites, correntes e outras referências vindas do rock, tendência <a href="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/2009/11/08/tendencia-metal-rock/">que a Tu já comentou aqui</a>, , estão presentes na coleção que o designer <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/#/jimmychoo/">Jimmy Choo</a> desenvolveu para a loja de departamentos H&#38;M. Influências oitentistas, leggings, metalizados e vestidos justíssimos, dão às peças pretas um ar sexy. A campanha ficou linda, super válida para inspirar looks modernos para a noite. Quer ver só?</p>
<p>Exagere nos acessórios. Em looks preto total eles podem, e devem, brilhar muito.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-276" title="jimmychoo_forhem_inverno09-10_2" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jimmychoo_forhem_inverno09-10_2.jpg" alt="jimmychoo_forhem_inverno09-10_2" width="420" height="291" /></p>
<p>Leggings e peças metalizadas são perfeitas para a noite; porém, por chamarem muito a atenção, devem ser usadas com cuidado. É mais seguro neutralizar uma peça cheia de paetês com uma peça simples. E lembre-se da regra número 1: respeite seu corpo acima de tudo!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-277" title="jimmychoo_forhem_inverno09-10_3" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jimmychoo_forhem_inverno09-10_3.jpg" alt="jimmychoo_forhem_inverno09-10_3" width="420" height="602" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-278" title="jimmychoo_forhem_inverno09-10_5" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jimmychoo_forhem_inverno09-10_5.jpg" alt="jimmychoo_forhem_inverno09-10_5" width="420" height="306" /></p>
<p>O cinto preto de tachas fica moderno quando usado com um vestido colorido vivo. Na combinação cinto de rebite + vestido, prefira modelagens simples e sem detalhes e abuse na cor, ele pode ser pink, vermelho, verde&#8230; O contrário também funciona: vestido preto + acessório colorido, ou com estampa, como a bolsinha de zebra da foto.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-280" title="jimmychoo_forhem_inverno09-10_6" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jimmychoo_forhem_inverno09-10_61.jpg" alt="jimmychoo_forhem_inverno09-10_6" width="420" height="489" /></p>
<p>Vale lembrar que, o acessório escolhido deve “conversar” com o estilo do look e não contradizê-lo. Bolsinhas coloridas podem ser usadas com vestido preto desde que não sejam delicadas. Escolha coloridos mais fortes e não os tons clarinhos como azul bebê ou verdinho. Babadinhos ou carteiras com florzinha estão fora.</p>

<description><![CDATA[O verão chega com muita estampa nas passarelas e nas araras das lojas. Florais, étnicas, geométricas]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>O verão chega com muita estampa nas passarelas e nas araras das lojas. Florais, étnicas, geométricas&#8230; A variedade é grande, e muita gente ainda fica na dúvida de como combiná-las. Quando falamos em estampa, a gama de opções e combinações possíveis é enorme, tudo vai depender do tipo da estampa, tamanho do desenho, suas cores e a ocasião na qual ela vai ser usada. Em ocasiões mais formais, muito contraste de cor não é bem vindo lembram? Nessa caso, compense a estampa com uma cor neutra que combine com ela. CUIDADO! O preto NÃO combina com tudo, e pode ficar muito pesado com estampas delicadas como as florais.</p>
<div id="attachment_242" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-242" title="estampas_looks1" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/estampas_looks11.jpg" alt="estampas_looks1" width="400" height="500" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Estampa + cor neutra</p></div>
<p>A forma mais fácil e eficiente de usar uma peça estampada é combinando com outra peça lisa em um dos tons da estampa, geralmente o tom predominante. É mais seguro que o restante do look siga a mesma cor da peça lisa; lembrando que duas cores, nesse caso uma cor e uma estampa, são suficientes para um look. A mistura de mais tonalidades quando errada pode vulgarizar e deixar o visual confuso, portanto, se ainda não é um expert, prefira neutralizar a estampa com peças clean.</p>
<div id="attachment_243" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-243" title="estampas_looks2" src="http://3chicstylist.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/estampas_looks2.jpg" alt="estampas_looks2" width="400" height="500" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Estampa + colorido. Prefira peças clean, sem detalhes.</p></div>
<p>Preste atenção também em seu tipo físico quando for escolher a estampa e a localização dela no look! As mais cheinhas ficam melhor com estampas maiores, enquanto os desenhos miúdos são mais indicados às magras. Isso porque a grande quantidade de desenhos, quando pequenos, parece ocupar uma maior área, ou seja, você parecerá maior com eles. Lembre que a área do seu corpo vestida por uma estampa é a que vai chamar mais atenção, por isso, prefira usá-las em seus pontos fortes.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#333333;">It was my birthday recently and my best friends very kindly clubbed together to give me a Selfridges gift card&#8230; don&#8217;t you love guilt-free shopping! I wasn&#8217;t sure what I should spend it on - make-up, a jar of Creme de La Mer or a pair of Kurt Geiger Fashionista shoes? I decided to be sensible! I set myself the task of sorting out my New Years Eve outfit and I had a £200 budget. I&#8217;m going to Munich for NY but I don&#8217;t know exactly what I&#8217;m doing yet so I need a &#8220;cover all bases&#8221; sort of outfit. </span></p>

<div id="attachment_143" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 237px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-143  " title="One shoulder sequin Lipsy dress" src="http://stylinginthecity.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lipsy-dress.jpg?w=227" alt="" width="227" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">One shoulder sequin Lipsy dress www.lipsy.co.uk</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">Every time I&#8217;d been out with clients dress shopping, I&#8217;d made a mental note if there was something I liked but I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;d seen anything in particular that had caught my eye (within my budget anyway!). There were several sequined numbers by Lipsy that I&#8217;d noticed before that were interesting and I&#8217;d not seen them on, so I thought I&#8217;d give them a go. There was this bright silver sequined one-shoulder dress (£65) that I really liked, but I felt as if I should be singing in the final of X Factor or something - plus it was a little too &#8220;blingy&#8221; for Munich (they&#8217;re pretty understated there generally!). All Saints, Warehouse, Oasis, Miss Selfridge, Ted Baker, French Connection and Karen Millen all had contenders (I stayed on the ground floor in Selfridges and didn&#8217;t even go up stairs to be tempted by the designer dresses)!</span> <span style="color:#ffcccc;"><span style="color:#333333;">The poor guy in the changing room must have thought &#8211; good lord, not you again! The 5th or 6th time I went in I was trying a selection from Topshop as I&#8217;d spotted a couple of Christopher Kane pieces hidden on the rails. I was tempted by one very pretty dress but it was tiny and I could barely get it on let alone off&#8230; and then I tried on the lacey one-shoulder dress from his collection. I really liked it but hadn&#8217;t noticed there was a mesh panel down the left side which wasn&#8217;t totally sheer, but you could definitely see through it. Of course this made me like the dress more as it was a bit different &#8211; and for only £50 I thought it was a bit of a bargain!</span></span><span style="color:#333333;"> </span><span style="color:#333333;"> </span><span style="color:#333333;"> </span></p>
<p></span></p>
<div id="attachment_258" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://stylinginthecity.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/studded-shoes7.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-258" title="studded-shoes" src="http://stylinginthecity.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/studded-shoes7.jpg?w=244" alt="" width="244" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">&#34;Razzle&#34; shoes from www.topshop.com</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#333333;"> </span><span style="color:#333333;">I also found these shoes from Topshop &#8211; black suede open-toed sling backs with metal studs, they&#8217;re a real statement and only £65 (I wore them on Saturday night and they were actually incredibly comfy). To finish off I picked up a gold and black stripey sequined clutch bag (very annoying to dance with but I&#8217;m going to add some ribbon to make handles!). </span>  <span style="color:#333333;">So Topshop came up trumps and all for £143&#8230; plus I picked up a Christopher Kane dress without the &#8220;designer&#8221; price tag! I&#8217;m not always keen on department store shopping as it can be fairly overwhelming choice wise, but when looking for something specific like a dress, as least you can quickly see what a lot of brands have to offer, which is very useful. So that&#8217;s the outfit&#8217;s done - I&#8217;ll simply plan my evening around it, roll on December 31st&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ffcccc;"><strong><span style="color:#333333;">Things to remember when going dress shopping:</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="color:#333333;"><strong>1. </strong><br />
<span style="color:#ff99cc;">Make time and prepare</span> for your shopping &#8211; don&#8217;t just run into a shop after work and expect to find the ideal outfit. If  your hair&#8217;s a bit limp and your make-up is looking tired you&#8217;ll automatically think the dresses you&#8217;re trying on don&#8217;t look good, when it&#8217;s not necessarily the dress&#8230; So make an effort with your hair and add a bit of make-up and  I promise your trip will be more successful</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="color:#333333;"><strong>2. </strong><br />
If you usually wear <span style="color:#ff99cc;">fake tan</span>, apply some the night before the shopping trip, then you&#8217;ll see what colours will actually look like against your skin (without fake tan I could give E.T. a run for his money at the moment!).</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#333333;"><strong>3. </strong><br />
If you wear <span style="color:#ff99cc;">heels</span> take some with you, so you don&#8217;t have to wander around the changing-rooms on your tip toes like you&#8217;re auditioning for Strictly!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="color:#333333;"><strong>4.</strong><br />
The right <span style="color:#ff99cc;">underwear</span> can make or break a dress and VPL is a NO, NO! Also if necessary invest in some foundation-wear to smooth out any lumps or bumps and take a strapless bra with you too</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="color:#333333;"><strong>5.</strong><br />
Look for <span style="color:#ff99cc;">classic shapes with a twist</span> &#8211; and don&#8217;t be scared to try something different. If you do want to play it safe, remember you can be more extravagant with jewellery, which can transform your outfit</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="color:#333333;"><strong>6. </strong><br />
Don&#8217;t automatically go for strapy sandals with evening-wear &#8211; by adding a <span style="color:#ff99cc;">chunkier shoe</span> (like the ones I bought above) your look will be more edgy and less &#8220;pretty&#8221;, which is much more on trend this season</span></p>

Echarpes jamais saem de moda, são ícones de elegância, classe e atemporalidade. Em todas as estações do ano, elas dão um toque a mais numa coordenação. Coincidentemente no inverno passado, viraram peças &#8220;fashion&#8221; , na realidade, essas sempre estarão na moda.</p>
