			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, top <strong>best dressed:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Heidi Klum</strong> can be named the best one, her red dress from John Galliano for Dior couture was more than incredible. <br /> 
<p align="center"><img height="401" alt="Heidi Klum Oscar 2008 ceremony" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/heidi-klum.jpg" width="261" border="0"> </p>
<p><span id="more-1053"></span></p>
<li>
<p><strong>George Clooney</strong> in classic bowtie with a cool Armani tux. May be it looks as old as the hills, but still very nice and so elegant. <br /> 
<p align="center"><img height="401" alt="George Clooney Oscar 2008 ceremony" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/clooney.jpg" width="210" border="0"> </p>
<li>
<p><strong>Amy Ryan</strong> in a blue one-shouldered Calvin Klein dress was brilliant. <br /> 
<p align="center"><img height="405" alt="Amy Ryan top best dressed Oscar ceremony" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/amy.jpg" width="224" border="0"> </p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>And now, top <strong>worst dressed:</strong> </p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Cameron Diaz</strong> looked too pale, although she wore a Dior gown. Too much of everything. <br /> 
<p align="center"><img height="407" alt="Cameron Diaz top worst dressed Oscar 2008" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/cameron-diaz.jpg" width="262" border="0"> </p>
<li>
<p><strong>Marion Cotillard, </strong>a popular French actress looked too funny in this fishy Jean Paul Gaultier dress. <br /> 
<p align="center"><img height="402" alt="Top worst dressed Oscar 2008" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/worts-dressed.jpg" width="268" border="0"> </p>
<li>
<p><strong>Witness Miley Cyrus,</strong> too bright in this Valentino dress and too stylish for her 15 years, critics couldn&#8217;t stand these two circumstances. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Internet came into every sphere of our life, it penetrated into our thoughts, greatly influences our ideas and shapes our views. Because of it, we live so comfortably: for example, instead of going to a shop, choosing there shoes that we like, trying them and so on and so far&#8230; we can simply, buy them online. Without crowds, without lines and without human interaction. You will ask: &#8220;Why again shoes?&#8221; just because I like them.
<p>While talking about buying <strong>online shoes</strong> or other fashion apparel, most fashion-lovers will think about such great mags as Neiman Marcus or Amazon, but why not pay attention to less famous but rather reliable online shops? My latest find &#8211; <strong>The Find</strong>: reasonable prices, flexible system of discounts, easy-to-use navigation and the only one minus the assortment is not very big.
<p>My dears, also you can do this way, find something really hot in Neiman Marcus online store, for example this cool <a href="http://www.thefind.com/apparel/browse-Polka-Dots-Pumps">polka dot pumps</a> from <strong>Valentino</strong> ($595) and then try your best and find something looking like them in the other online shop, let&#8217;s take The Find &#8211; and buy polka dot peep toe pumps saving approximately $550.
<p align="center"><img height="276" alt="Valentino polka dot pumps 2008" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/valentino-polka-dots.jpg" width="245" border="0"> <img height="245" alt="Polka dot pumps 2008" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/polka-dot-pumps.jpg" width="245" border="0"> </p>
<p><span id="more-876"></span></p>
<p>The next example, <a href="http://www.thefind.com/apparel/browse-Peep-Toe-Espadrilles">Peep Toe Espadrilles</a>. Needless to say, Castaner is not <strong>Burberry</strong>, but they are still fashionable and really budget-friendly, just compare: Castaner &#8211; $125 and Burberry &#8211; $250.
<p align="center"><img height="225" alt="Burberry espadrillas 2008" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/burberry-espadrillas.jpg" width="245" border="0"> <img height="225" alt="Castaner peep toe espadrilles 2008" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/castaner-peep-toe-espadrilles.jpg" width="225" border="0"> </p>
<p>And the last one, <a href="http://www.thefind.com/apparel/browse-APE-Sneakers">APE sneakers</a> &#8211; extremely comfortable shoes, but sometimes their prices make me feel more than uncomfortable. For example, cool Boulevard sneakers from <strong>Gucci </strong>cost $395, not so fashionable, but still comfortable sneakers you can by from The Find and save $225.
<p align="center"><img height="262" alt="Gucci boulevard sneakers" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/gucci-boulevard-sneakers.jpg" width="255" border="0"> <img height="262" alt="Sneakers 2008" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/sneakers.jpg" width="206" border="0"> </p>
<p>Again, my dears, I am not telling or agitating you to buy everything only cheap, no, I am just sharing with you some interesting information how to save your money and still look great.&nbsp; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As usual, one of my favourite blogs proposes answers on the necessary and urgent questions. Why? Because, a lot was written about this fall fashion, even more tips were given in order any of your to be stylish and glamorous, but, shame on me! I&#8217;ve forgotten about one of the most important details and without is you can&#8217;t be stylish and cool &#8211; tights, my dears. How stupid of me, yeah? Oversized sweaters, ankle-boots, secretary dresses and long, beautiful but shivering and chilly legs. A nice picture. So, now I want to say thank you to <a href="http://www.coutureinthecity.com/2007/10/15/how-to-wear-black-tights-stockings-and-hosiery/">Couture In The City Blog</a> and to pay your attention to the post about <strong>Wearing of Black Tights, Stockings and Hosiery</strong>.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="429" alt="Hilary Duff in tights" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/hilary-duff.jpg" width="215" border="0"> <img height="429" alt="Gwyneth in black tights " src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/gwyneth.jpg" width="215" border="0"></p>
<p>Also, this week my curiosity was provoked with the unusual and glamorous photos. At the 1st sight, they seemed to be a little bit trite and even too appalling, but after some time I liked them and found them even wondrous. Look with your own eyes, am I right? The photos belong to Marilyn Minter and I found them <a href="http://fashionorgasm.blogspot.com/2007/10/blow-up.html">here</a>. <a href="http://fashionorgasm.blogspot.com/"><strong>Fashion Orgasm</strong></a> blog is a new discovery of this fall!</p>
<p align="center"><img height="319" alt="Marilyn Minter photo" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/marilynminter1.jpg" width="245" border="0"> <img height="319" alt="MM PurpleHaze photo" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/mmpurplehaze.jpg" width="208" border="0"></p>
<p>Paris Fashion Week. A serious event in the world of fashion, don&#8217;t you think so? The same with me. But, unfortunately, I still didn&#8217;t make it coverage. I adore people, which are defter than me, so <a href="http://www.denimology.co.uk/2007/10/chanel_aw_2008_catwalk_show.php">Chanel Autumn/Winter catwalk show</a> at Paris Fashion Week you can enjoy while paying your attention to the <a href="http://www.denimology.co.uk/womens_denim/">Denimology Blog</a>.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="450" alt="Chanel catwalk 2007 (Paris fashion week)" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/chanel-catwalk2007.jpg" width="300" border="0"></p>
<p>This week I was lack of bright details and things, so this small and glamorous bag came to me in time. I just love the colour of leather &#8211; it is incredible, <strong>Valentino</strong> is a top-sawyer and a <a href="http://www.bagbliss.com/">Bagbliss Blog</a> is a perfect one while looking for a new bag! Thanks!</p>
<p align="center"><img height="460" alt="Valentino leather bag photo" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/valentino-leather-bag.jpg" width="440" border="0"></p>
<p>And, of course, I can&#8217;t but to mention, that I have almost forgotten about holidays. How about Halloween celebration? Yeah, celebration is always good and, no doubts, you have already thought about a playboy bunny costume, don&#8217;t you? But, thanks to <a href="http://www.iamfashion.blogspot.com/">I Am Fashion Blog</a> you can think about a more sophisticated wearing. From Dior, for example!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Incredible news from the catwalks:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Say &#8220;NO!&#8221; to severe diet</strong>!
<p>The whole trends of the autumn 2007 will provide an opportunity to wear such things, that will help you to emphasize your advantages and minimize your drawbacks. Namely, now, fashion tends to be creative and self-expressive. So&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Washington pie</strong>
<p>I mean, things with a lot of layers and a lot of layers of clothes. You&#8217;ve got me right? Let&#8217;s check it. You must wear things layer by layer: T-shirts, jackets, blouses, skirts, dresses everything will be useful, the only one thing &#8211; emphasize your layers, wear a long dress together with a small shrug.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="340" alt="Layers fashion from Valentino Autumn 2007" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/layers-valentino.jpg" width="227" border="0"> <img height="340" alt="Add volume from Valentino autumn 2007" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/add-volume.jpg" width="227" border="0"></p>
<p>
<span id="more-355"></span>
 </p>
<li><strong>Puffy-puffy deals</strong>
<p>Think about volume, take care to create it everywhere! While wearing a suit, wear a scarf. If you don&#8217;t like scarves, you can buy an oversized sweater, wide coats and blouses, dresses a-la parachute or a balloon.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="340" alt="Puffy things from Ungaro Autumn 2007" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/puffy-things.jpg" width="227" border="0"> <img height="340" alt="Volumize yourself with Ungaro Autumn 2007 collection" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/volumize-yourself.jpg" width="227" border="0"></p>
<li><strong>Play with sleeves</strong>
<p>Make it look like either puffed sleeves or thanks to the design. Shoulder line mustn&#8217;t be strict and straight, it must be loose and free.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="340" alt="Sleeves and belts from Tommy Hilfilger" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/belts-from-tommyjpg.jpg" width="227" border="0"> <img height="340" alt="Sonia Rykile vision of sleeves 2007" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/sonia.jpg" width="227" border="0"></p>
<li><strong>Big Shoulders</strong>
<p>Pay attention to hockey-players and try to make the same &#8211; make your shoulders bigger!</p>
</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>Dresses</strong>
<p>Namely here you can show your fantasy and creativeness, you can look gorgeous in a dress while it is cold around! But, add colourful tights or uppers to it.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="340" alt="Red winter 2007 dress from Ungaro" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/dresses.jpg" width="227" border="0"> <img height="340" alt="Dress from 2007 collection - Ungaro" src="http://chicstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/dress-ungaro.jpg" width="227" border="0"></p>
<li><strong>Belts</strong>
<p>Yeah, again belts, and this time long and wide, they will either emphasize your waist or make it (thus, acting like a corset). Belts can be worn with everything &#8211; a fur-coat, just a simple coat, a sweater, a dress and so on.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>But, dear ladies, remember. It was news from the catwalks, it takes time before these trends will hit the markets and the world, so it is enough only to make a small hint (in your usual wearing), that you know about the latest <a href="http://chicstories.com/news/top-10-key-fashion-points-autumn-2007/">fashion trends 2007</a>, either than become a fashion victim! Because, it is better to be glamorous and stylish, than just fashionable!</p>
