STYLE TRENDS IN 2008
Liquid leggings - Kerry Washington, Dania Ramirez and Meagan Good were just the handful of folks rocking this trend. Olivia Newton-John's character from the cult classic, "Grease" would be please to know this trend came back hard.
Over the knee leather boots - Ciara, Fergie and Brandy dressed up and down in these over the knee boots which they paired alone or with skinny jeans in 2008.
Lace/patterned leggings - These funky leggings has had a good style comeback thanks to Kelis, Gina Torres, and Nia Long. Say goodbye to the pantyhose!
3-Finger Custom Rings - Keri Hilson, Melody Ehsani, and Alicia Keys singlehandedly brought back this chic style from the 1980's to 2008. (Other Melody Ehsani hits: Erykah Badu's album cover + Ciara's Pow Pow bamboo doorknockers)
Minx nails - Chrome nail polish (done by celebrity manicurists Lisa Logan and Kimmie Kyees) never looked so good thanks to Rihanna, Beyonce, and Eve. (Rihanna's Black Minx with Silver Lightning Polka Dots was done by Kyees.)
Obama tee-shirts - Supporting President-Elect Barack Obama via a custom-made tee shirt was the norm in 2008...just ask Halle Berry, Solange Knowles, and Kim Kardashian.
Other style trends in 2008: Sneakers with dresses, Kimono, Geek shades, This BEBE dress, and the Maxi Dress. (Hats was the big trend in 2007. Green was the ideal color to wear in 2007.)(Photos: Getty, Splash, Wireimage, Fame)

The Obama shirts and over the knee boots were by far my fav trends of '08. Liquid leggings are hot, but only look good on an extremely small percentage of the population (that includes both my small and big girls).
