Style Forecast: Harper's Bazaar Presents The Best of What's New

This is it! The month we have all been waiting for the Fall 2008 fashion magazine have finally hit news stands! There is just something so evolutionary about the year 2008 - 8 being the number of infinity - preceeded by double circles - it seems that just maybe this year - fashion may finally come full circle.

Here's the Best of Fall 2008, as ranked by Harper's Bazaar
1. Lace and Texture - We're told the more the better.
2. Prints - Florals, paisleys, and yes animal prints - yet again are "al rigour" this season.
3. Bold Colors - Vivid, vibrant hues, painterly stripes, and water colors breeze into the fall.
4. Elegant Extras - Over the top accessories, clutches, and furs equal a big fat YES.
5. Bag a Big Bag - Our fellow New York girls know this is not a problem!
6. Pile on the Extras - Let you inner drama queen shine - piles of pearls, stands of gold, and ribbons of fabric, fun, fun fun!
7. Reach New Heights - The stiletto goes sky-high this season whether it be vamp or mod.
8. Playful Toppers - Fun and funky coats and capes will be all the rage.
9. Go Bright for Night - Citrus velvet and neon animal prints. Hey, we won't tell...
10. Get Back to Basic - Fellow fashionista, we can not stress this enough!!
11. Say it in Silk: For formal occasion, nothing is quite as elegant as silk taffeta in rich auburn hues.
