1) Bangs
Ah, this year definitely was a massive revival for the edgy 80's eyelash skimming hair trend, with everyone from supermodels to Zac Efron (yuck!) hopping on the bandwagon. Though I can't recollect who started it all off, I'm guessing it was Irina Lazareanu (yes I can spell her name!), almost every celebrity went to their stylist and asked for a trim for their fringe. Granted I did try the cut myself, I acknowledge that this is not the easiest look to pull. Nevertheless I think that this cut, despite its ubiquity now is still a fun way to change up your style. The stars that dazzled

The star that fell flat on her face.
2) Patent
This was another trend I gladly embraced. At first one would think that patent is really horrible and tacky and just generally an eyesore cause well its plastic and it shines and why wouldn't that be just tawdry?! I mused it over for a while after taking a walk through a shoe store and actually thought it's a nice material. BUT you have to be extra conscientious when dressing with it cause it can go either way. I prefer patent in small healthy doses like shoes and bags -- but never a trenchcoat!
3) Ali Larter
A style icon is in the making! Almost every single time I see Ali Larter being snapped by photogs she looks immaculate! Her style is really refreshing, not too trend laden but she always looks on the point and stylish and classic. I also give props for her ability to look sexy but never crossing the skanky line.4) Sleeveless blazers
This isn't much of a trend but I'd noticed a few of them scattered on the spring runways. It's a new alternative to vests I guess but I think they'd look better with a sleeveless top inside, to focus in on the sleeves (or lack thereof). 5) Collaborations
With Kate Moss designing for Topshop, 2007 was a year for the celebrity + high street store. I gravitate towards designer + inexpensive brand rather than celebrities but Kate Moss is an exception. Pieces from GAP's collaborations lines with designers Doo Ri, Rodarte and Thakoon were even featured on the cover of the coveted (yet disappointing) Vogue May issue.
That about wraps it up. Happy new year!
