Glamour Magazine has recently released their top ten favorite female celebrity fashionistas. Right at the top of the list as number one is Kate Moss.

Said Jo Elvin, editor of Glamour:

Kate’s back with a vengeance. Her maverick approach to fashion is an inspiration and shows us all how to be a little more daring and experimental.

As posted on the Damn I’m Cute blog, the rest of the list went as follows:

• Sienna Miller
• Scarlett Johansson
• Rachael Bilson
• Jennifer Aniston
• Alexa Chung
• Reese Witherspoon
• Jessica Alba
• Keira Knightley
• Victoria Beckham

Each of these women is well deserving of her place on the list, although there are a few that I think should have been included as well, like Angelina Jolie, Heidi Klum and Charlize Theron.

I’m always commenting on the celebrity women who are fashion icons, and it is about time that I point out a few of the men in style.

Brad Pitt

I have to start off with Brad Pitt. This is one man that no one can deny is a true style icon. He looks good no matter what he’s wearing, whether it’s ripped jeans or a classy Armani suit.

The first guy to ever be voted Sexiest Man Alive twice by People magazine, Brad Pitt definitely has something to boast about. He has gained the adoration of men and women alike, bringing to life a range of different styles.

He prefers Dior and Ralph Lauren suits for special occasions but we usually see him out and about with lovely lady Angelina Jolie dressed down in t-shirts and faded jeans.

Ashton Kutcher

Although he is still pretty young, over the past few years Ashton Kutcher has definitely been considered as one of the leading male fashion icons.

Once a model, Ashton is no stranger to style, and he always makes sure to have fun with his clothes, which is really important. He is definitely one of the chameleons of celebrity male fashion, and one to watch out for when it comes to discovering new and funky trends.

Of course, no matter what he wears Ashton will still be incredibly stylish, as he has the hottest accessory of all - Demi Moore.

Pharrell Williams

One of my favorites to make this list is Pharrell Williams. He always has a much more relaxed look than most celebs, but really gives casual, hip, sporty looks a whole new name.

A skater at heart, Pharrell shows this off with color hoodies with bold blaring stripes and knee length skater shorts.

To dress up an outfit he favors a dress shirt and tie with comfortable jeans, to keep it laid back but stylized. His clothing line, Billionaire Boys Club, shows off his unique and sexy style and allows you to wear it as your own.

Will Smith

Will Smith has definitely got it going on. Not only is he incredibly talented and successful with his music and movie careers, but he’s also a seriously dedicated father and husband.

He always looks confident and pulled together, and is one of the very few men who can pull off the turtleneck thing, no doubt due to his impeccable physique.

This is one man that looks great in a suit, with his height and shoulders filling it out to perfection. He is always very particular about his look and you will never see him in anything less than designer duds like Gucci and Armani.

Justin Timberlake

Come on you knew it, he had to make the list. A real sharp dressed man, Justin Timberlake knows how to work it in just about anything.

From cowboy hats and worn jeans to slim fitting black three piece suits with a bit of scruff on his baby face, he can pull anything off.

As a budding fashion designer it is no wonder he has begun to show off his tasteful style, and launched in November 2005, the William Rast collection is now available.

George Clooney

Check out any “Most Fashionable” list and at the top of the list you will find this man. He is a style icon, looking suave and debonair in some of the best fitting tuxedos.

Listed as one of the best dressed male celebrities of all time, Clooney fits right into the category with names like Robert Redford, Sean Connery and Fred Astaire.

He is always well groomed which just adds on more sex appeal and allure to his outfits, and keeps him looking rugged and manly but with a sweet boyish charm.

Full coverage of LA Fashion Week F/W 2008/2009, Special 2008 Academy Awards recap, NY Fashion Week, Miami Fashion Week, the Victoria’s Secret 2008 show and Sports Illustrated photoshoot will all be airing on FTV starting tonight.

Over the duration of a single weekend you will receive all the fashion information you need with full and exclusive coverage of the top fashion shows in the United States.

Anyone who wants to get the first look at all the hot new trends for the coming seasons will want to stay glued to the tube this weekend, and especially will not want to miss coverage on NY Fashion Week.

As reported on the FTV website:

This spring New York designers have produced an amazing mixture of trends and ensembles. Some of the looks that graced the runway were flirty & flowing fabrics, sexy yet serene silhouettes in calm sand, tan and grey colors. On the other hand bold graphic colors and designs, neon bright touches, quirky headwear, lean silhouettes, the boyish suits - Katharine Hepburn’s style and much more.

NY Fashion Week features supreme names in the fashion world including Derek Lam, Heatherette, Bill Blass, Marc Jacobs, Max Azria, Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta and Luca Luca, just to name a few.

Fashion shows like NY Fashion Week are attended by jounalists, buyers, and celebrities, so chances are that you are not going to have an opportunity to attend in person, but you can get just as good a viewing by watching this weekend on FTV.

All women will know what I am talking about when I say how hard it can be to find just the right mascara.

Depending on how long your lashes are to begin with, how dramatic of a look you want, what color your lashes and hair are…whew!

That is only the beginning, because then you head out to the store only to find hundreds of different little mascara bottles in packages staring back at you. It can be quite intimidating and usually a waste of time anyway because you finally decide on one only to get home and realize that it works nothing like how you thought it would.

I have definitely tried out more than enough mascaras in my life and am happy to say that I have now found the perfect one.

Revlon 3D Extreme Mascara is definitely my top pick, a mascara that I am happy to continue buying and using.

It offers everything that I want from a mascara. It is light enough to wear a single coat throughout the day without clumping or drying out and yet dramatic enough when you apply a second coat to wear when you are going out for the night.

The mascara wand and brush are smaller than those on mascaras I have used in the past, and so I have to admit that when I first took a look at this teensy thing I almost wanted to go get my ten bucks back right then.

I gave it a try though, and had no regrets after that. Good things really do come in small packages, because this wee little brush is designed - and actually works - to coat each lash, keeping the lashes separate from each other and preventing sticking and clumping.

The Revlon 3D Extreme Mascara, developed by one of my favorite makeup brands Revlon, is a treasure and is definitely the mascara I will be keeping in my makeup bag from now on.

I am not the only one that thinks so either, as some of my favorite sister sites such as Associated Content, Makeup Moxie and Epinions all also had great things to say about it.

Although I am not one to follow the trends of celebrities necessarily, there are a few that I like to keep my eye on. Not because they are imitating what everyone else is wearing at the time in Hollywood, but rather because they have their own unique, funky flair.

Angelina Jolie definitely fits into this category, at least for me, and in my opinion she is not only one of the most beautiful women in the world but one with the best style as well.

Ok, so we are not all going to be able to copy that hot leather number she wore in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but there are many of her stylish fashions that we can take ideas from, and yet keep our own style and individuality as well.

One of the things I love most about Angelina is how she can completely transform, from devilish vixen to ladylike and feminine and she suits both styles to absolute perfection. I know, I know, she could be wearing a paper bag and make it look vogue, but it doesn’t take a fashion pro to look at this woman and see that she has true style.

One of Jolie’s most memorable red carpet moments was in 2007 during one of her first public appearances with beau Brad Pitt. It was at the Golden Globes that she showed up in an elegant and demure strapless St. John couture gown, and looked absolutely stunning.

You can find variations of this dress for cheap at boutiques around the world, in the event that you are an average person like myself who cannot afford to pay more for a dress than you did for your mortgage.

Remember to keep your accessories light, as you rarely ever see Angelina with a load of jewelry on her arms or other pieces distracting from her outfit. Focus on the staple of your outfit and then use a few pieces to accent it, such as a knit shrug or a small diamond bracelet.

Today Angelina is considered as being a Hollywood glamour icon to many, myself included, and more than anything it is her sincerity and confidence that gives her this undeniable, unavoidable allure and beauty.

If you want to get a little more Angelina Jolie-ish yourself, here are a few tips that will help. First and foremost though, you need to feel confident because this will shine through and make anything you wear stand out.

Think of long, lean fashions that will show off your feminine curves, because these are the types of clothes that Angelina tends to stick to. Her clothes are always womanly and pretty but without ever crossing the line of matronly.

She wears a lot of caramel and gold colored clothing, which is no wonder because these hues go so well with her golden bronze skin. Finish off with a simple black dress and cute heels, an outfit she is infamous for, and a pair of big dark shades and you will have a few pieces in your wardrobe that will have you as sexy and saucy as Angelina herself and ready to hit the town.

So the summer season is fast approaching and what better way to start it off than by buying your first bathing suit of the year.

There are some fantastic new trends in bathing suits this year, and as reported on one of the leading fashion websites, Suite101:

New York Runway trends for African inspired tribal and jungle prints can be seen in the new collections. Victoria’s Secret Designer Collections include a Red Carter Giraffe cut-out one-piece and a sexy Tiger print & dots push-up tankini top.

Colors and prints are really all the rage for the upcoming swimsuit season, and also, from the runways of Milan we are seeing a lot of geometric prints featured heavily on tops and bottoms.

Of course bikinis are still as popular as ever, and they seem to just keep getting smaller and smaller. So it is then not surprising that tiny bikins giving minimum coverage are in this season, however one new aspect that has not really been covered yet is the reversible bikini.

Many swimwear retailers are now offering reversible bikinis. This is a really cute idea and gives you two bathing suits for the price of one. FigLeaves is one of the most popular companies now offering these hip bikinis, so be sure to check them out.

Embellishments on bathing suits are also very in this year:

This season’s trend of “embellishments” which proliferate dresses, shoes and handbags are carried through into swimwear. Fringes, appliqué, beads and bows can be seen adorning swimsuit bottoms and tops.

The new swimwear trends for this year are dramatic and yet subtle all at the same time, but all make a statement in their own right.

Also don’t forget about the many fabulous Australian designers that are making their mark in the swimwear world, such as Zimmermann and Seafolly.

So the Junos were last night, and I was really thrilled for it, considering that Canada is my home country and I am proud that talent like Feist, Michael Buble, Triumph, and Finger Eleven all hail from the Great White North.

More than anything I was excited to see what everyone was wearing, and there were some really great and not so great outfits.

Okay, okay, so the Canadian award shows do not exactly stand up to the Hollywood-esque Grammys, Tonys, and Academy Awards of the United States, but I was really not worried about the glitz and glamor of it.

On a personal note I favor the Canadian award shows in a way because everyone is so laid back and relaxed - one of the members from Wintersleep, the band that celebrated their Juno win for New Group of the Year, actually even brought a coffee on stage with him to accept the award. I have to say I loved it.

Now on to the outfits. The star of the night, Feist, who I think was more than deserving of her five awards, looked absolutely adorable.

She switched into a few different outfits throughout the night, but each showed her unique, funky eclectic style and I thought they all looked perfect on her.

Avril Lavigne stuck to her usual punk-pop look, dressed in a black dress with white polka dots and coordinated shoes. She was more dressed up than I’ve seen her before, but without going too far out of her element.

So maybe it wasn’t the most elegant ensemble but she still looked super cute, and you could tell she was having a lot of fun and not taking any of it too seriously, hamming it up for the camera and carrying around her little streamer stick.

I have to add in Mr. Michael Buble here who looked as handsome as ever at the awards show last night. Not only does he have one of the most beautiful voices I have heard since Fred Astaire but he also dresses to the max.

For the most part the styles were pretty dull, with the majority of presenters and performers wearing basic black and no one really standing out.

Overall it was still a good show, one that I really enjoyed watching. It was laid back and relaxed, good ole Canada style.

As a tall girl myself at 5′10″, I understand firsthand just how difficult it can be to find pants that fit. We all hear about the shorter women who have problems finding the right size pants but at least they can get theirs tailored, whereas we tall girls are left looking like we are waiting for a flood!

I used to find myself shopping around from store to store trying to find pants that were long enough for my legs, and more often than not would end up frustrated, with no luck.

I know a lot of other women as well who are taller than average and who deal with the same problem, and this combined with the simple fact that I would like to know where I can go and find pants that are going to fit and look great, made me decide to do some research.

Alloy

One of the best companies I have found to date is Alloy. They offer pants with inseams up to 37″ which includes even women who are over six feet tall.

I especially love their denim collection, which features all the most popular styles of jean including wide leg, flare, skinny, destroyed, new washes and treatments, and even crops and capris.

They are only available online which is unfortunate because then you are not able to visit an actual retail store to try on the pants first, but I have ordered many times from this company and trust me, you will not be returning or exchanging anything.

Not only do they offer an incredible selection of jeans but also pants, hoodies, tops, dresses, shorts, skirts, accessories, swimwear, and more.

Gap

Gap is another clothing retailer that offers pants in extended sizes. Their women’s apparel is actually divided into two specific categories: petite and tall, to make the shopping experience as easy for you as possible.

Their pants are available in five different sizes of inseam ranging from 29-36 inches long. Another thing I love about the Gap is that they have different styles of jeans listed including boot cut, curvy, straight, and fashion denim, which makes it easier to choose just the right pair of jeans for every occasion.

The pants are also actually affordable which is often hard to find when you are shopping for a specialty item, which apparently extra-long inseams are.

I love how comfortable these pants fit and how they keep their shape even after washing and drying them. It’s great knowing that whenever I want a pair of cute new pants I can head here and find a great selection.

Victoria’s Secret

One of my favorite stores of all time, Victoria’s Secret, is the third to make my list here. Not only do they have a gorgeous line of lingerie and swimwear, but as well apparel including pants with extra-long inseams.

They have a great selection of pants for both work and play, and they too are very affordable which is important to me because I simply cannot reason with paying hundreds of dollars for a single pair of jeans.

If you are not already aware, they offer the VS Uplift pants, which feature a built-in powerful mesh panel that lifts from the inside but which is invisible from the outside. This gives the ole tush a little lift, which no woman can complain about.

I have found a few other stores that cater to tall women and which I have visited a few times, but these are definitely three of my favorite. If you are a tall girl like I am who is looking for a pair of pants with a great fit, I am sure you will have success at any one of these places.
