Here is one list that we have all been waiting for. Candy Pratts Price, Executive Fashion Director of Style, the online home of Vogue and W magazines, has recently announced her list of the upcoming year’s best accessories.

This is one woman who knows her fashion, and whose experience and expertise we can trust in to advise us of the hottest looks for the year.

She lists accessories from the top designers around the world, including the effervescent John Galliano, for one. She names the suede and copper platform sandal as her accessory of the year from Galliano, an almost gladiator-modernized sandal perfect for the summer and fall.

Her pick for Calvin Klein? The leather platform pump. Already available from Calvin Klein, this subtle platform pump has innocent appeal and is neutral enough to work with just about any outfit. Calvin prefers these stylish shoes with his typical streamlined black dress, but you can pair them with almost any combination from your wardrobe.

The Christian Louboutin accessory chosen was an incredibly funky and modern stiletto boot, made of leather and suede and which is oh so stylish. It features a patchwork design of lavender, navy and tan, with his signature leather red soles.

Louboutin has boutiques located all around the world where you can purchase these boots and any other day shoes, evening shoes, wedges, boots, platforms and bags featured in his collections.

An incredibly creative, distinguished designer, it is no wonder Louboutin made this list and this one of a kind patchwork stiletto boot is just one of hundreds of beautiful, exquisite designs he has released for 2008.

A designer made infamous on the TV show Sex and the City, Manolo Blahnik, also made this list. As always, Blahnik’s unique and qwirky style shows through, with the newly released embroidered satin ankle boot. Manolo Blahnik has always been a champion of timeless and beautifully crafted designs, his shoes screaming with high glamour and sex appeal.

Pratts Price continues on the list with one of everyone’s favorites, Valentino. Always classic and sophisticated, Valentino’s designs are never a let down.

This is an accessory of the year that you do not want to miss - the Fango Rose tote bag. Featuring a gorgeous rose petal cut-out on the front of the bag, this elegant design is perfect for the spring and fall seasons of 2008.

There is no one in the fashion world like Valentino, and this feminine, flirty tote bag is just a small part of his 2008 collection. For the full viewing of his spring and fall collections you can check out the Valentino website.

The list continues on with names like Miu Miu, Delfina Delettrez, Emilio Pucci, Givenchy, Oscar de la Renta, Sergio Rossi, Stella McCartney, Yves Saint Laurent and Diane Von Furstenberg, just to name a few.

This is one list that we can all stand behind and which will be our sidekick of style for the 2008 year.

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.

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.

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.
