Welcome to 2008 . A new year for new fashion and new fabulosity (in the words of Kimora Lee Simmons). Here are some of the top trends of 2008 . They are primary colors and neon colors (or primary metallics ) which consists of all deep hues such as purple , kelly green , yellow, red, hot pink , electric blue, cobalt blue, orange etc. The deeper and brighter the color the better ,always wear darker colors on the bottom to balance your look out . Here are some examples: Another Hot trend that will be seen by the masses for Spring 2008 are tribal prints : Underwear as outerwear: Once a fashion don't , even featured on Project runway as a don't . This trend is making a hot and heavy comeback . You probably see some of these trends now as you are doing your after Christmas shopping and you will continue to see them well into the new year . Happy New Year and I hope it is prosperous for everyone and truly blessed. :)

His name is Dream and he was written songs for Rhianna , J Holiday. He is the Ehh Ehh man lol. The name of the song is Falsetto and the video is hot .

Tonight was interesting, I was very proud of Heidi she really acted out her faked breakup very well with Spencer. Even though it was faked I loved the way Heidi stood up to him, she even had the neck roll lol , interesting . I am proud of her. I am also proud of Audrina she is moving on and it seems like she is really over Justin Bobby's dirty butt. Good rid dens , lol , I never liked him to much anyway. I am glad he got the boot he was a A 1 butt hole. She deserves better . I think with her dating other people she sees how she is supposed to be treated. So kudos Audrina . But Lauren Lauren Lauren , what is going on ?????????????You finally find a guy who is cute and a gentleman with his own little celebrity and you don't know how to cease the day.

Everyone knows how much I love Jayz and Beyonce so it only makes since that they would be my first insert in these series . Beyonce looks great in this picture , I love love love the trench and even more the Fendi bag it is so hot . Jay as always looks fly , his swag is something that should be bottled and given to the masses. I love Jay. Also Beyonces shoes are hot , I love the patent leather thing she has going on , I think I will recreate a cheaper version of this for myself. Hot Indeed.

I am really feeling Project Runway and especially this season . My favorites are Christian and Carmen . Carmen is a Kelis look alike , they could be cousins or something even there aesthetics are the same . The show was greatly missed by me . if you have never seen the show please tune into bravo on Wed nights 10:00 eastern time to watch. I will start to post an episode recaps on these also.

Ok the hills was eventful we met Spencer's psycho sister , who looks alot like Spencer. I am glad to see Heidi speaking up for herself with the Lauren Dissing stating that she is over it . Good for you Heidi. I am loving Brody more and more for how he sticks up for Lauren , Lauren this will make a good man for you:) , I need to start a we love Brody Fan Club . Audrina finally dumped Justin Bobby at least it seems that way , she and all the others saw Justin kissing another girl in front of her so she finally broke it off. This episode was full of drama what we all love from the hills.
