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. :)

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 .
