------------------Hot pick------------------

Holiday shopping, cyberstyle
Have a hipster on your list? Try a groovy feather cuff bracelet. A man that's
hard on clothes? A belt with a free
lifetime
replacement. A tot that's a budding style maven? A faux fur bear coat. Find
something for everyone online, without the
hassles of
malls or wrapping and shipping the gifts yourself.

*Getting acquainted
Navigating the fashion site is easy when you have the right tool -- the new site
orientation page. Discover new aspects
of the site
you may have overlooked (like Articles or ShoppingAbout) or find out the
benefits of some of the links (like Jobs or
Join)

*Retro nightmares
Polyester leisure suits, huge shoulder pads and bellbottoms are a few of my
choices for worst fads of the 20th century.
What
fashions did you hate? Post now on the forum, it takes a sec to register if
you're not already a member, but it's worth
it to have a
place to blow off steam about bad fashion!

*Y2K style
Time's running out to find the perfect look for millennium parties. Get style
pointers, suggestions or find an online
store.
