To start the day right Rebecca was treated to having her hair styled at Catwalk and makeup done at ModelCo. After all everyone wants to look their best when making style purchase decisions.

From here it was non-stop for the next four hours with Fifi listening to both Rebecca’s needs and desires to establish the best, not to mention most flattering and fun, looks to suit her lifestyle.

As a young mum it was the first time in a long time that Rebecca had been able to spoil herself (and seeing glamour mum Kimberley Davies shopping with her bubs confirmed we were in the right place). The end result? A chic and stylish Rebecca with bags full of Veronika Maine, Saba, Jag, Portmans and Country Road, already planning her next trip to Westfield.

A chic way to join in the Australia Day celebrations is to support Australian fashion designers. We boast among the world’s best fashion talent and it is important that we wear their designs with pride. To get you started we've rounded up some of the classics in our latest What's In story.

The decision as to who was the absolute worst dressed in 2006 for Mr Blackwell's infamous 'Worst Dressed List' was such a difficult one that Mr Blackwell had to bestow the honour equally upon two young ladies – Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. This seems fair considering the amount of time the duo have spent together of late in various states of dress (not to mention undress). Mr Blackwell’s comment on the two? "two peas in an over-exposed pod! Style-free and fashion deprived."

The remaining nine, in descending order are Camilla Parker-Bowles, the “Duchess of Dowdy,” Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera “All crass and no class,” Mariah Carey, Paula Abdul “fallen fashion idol.”, Sharon Stone, Tori Spelling, Sandra Oh and Meryl Streep "Her beauty of a career cannot be denied, but that beast of a wardrobe is pure mother of the bride".

While you wonder how these celebs could get it so wrong, with access to the world’s best stylists and latest fashion at their fingertips, Paris, Britney et all we thank you, for it’s almost as entertaining to see those without any fashion sense as to daydream after the outfits worn by those who have 'it'.

Mr Blackwell wasn’t all bad news though, he posted a list complimenting ten women on their fashion skills (some of which have been mentioned on his worst dressed list in past years). This list included Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, Helen Mirren, Barbara Streisand, Beyoncé, Nancy Pelosi, Princess Charlotte of Monaco, Heidi Klum, Katie Holmes and Marcia Cross.

There wouldn't have been much deliberating in concluding that Kate Moss was the world's best dressed in 2006. So it wasn't too much of a surprise when Italy's Grazia magazine announced her as the star, beating others including Mischa Barton and our lovely Kylie Minogue.

Kate's ability to pull off any look she puts on couldn't have been more obvious than when she took to the stage in the comedy show "Little Britain" in November. Dressed in a tracksuit, loads of cheap chains and with hair teased to a ridiculous height, Kate still managed to look cool.

As for her day-to-day dressing, try as they might, paparazzi photographers just can't seem to get her on a bad wardrobe day (we aren't going over into the topic of activities caught on film though).

So to Kate we say congrats & keep up the good work - we love checking out your new take on the season.
