We dun Shook it Till the Ball DROPPED!

To think, it's almost the end of 2007 and another year has flown by! Tis' MADNESS I tell you! Before we look on to the future, making wish lists of the new things we want and making promises to ourselves we probably won't keep (I swear next year I'm going to the gym every week!), it's fun to look back at the past year. A lot can happen in a year. People change, mature, experiment, make friends and loose friends; And by the end of it, so much has happened we can barely remember what happened in January.
Fashion in the same way. Trends changed with the seasons, designers hit highs and lows, and where the good was, the bad was sure to follow. But there were always a few ladies who kept it fun and classy throughout the year. I thought it would be fun to celebrate the girls who rocked 2007:

LAUREN CONRAD


Okay, I loved season three of the Hills and it aint over! The drama, the boys, the clubhoppin L.A.-lifestyle-of-the-rich-and-famous! It's so fun to watch, but the cherry on top of this 'reality TV' series is the inside look at Teen Vogue (I would gladly live in that closet), and the girls wardrobe! Sure Lauren may have often played it safe, and even messed up her meeting with Marc Jacobs, but compared to her Hills adversaries, this girl always looked good. Her use of solids and California girl laid back charm made her wardrobe one to be envied.



RIHANNA


Wow, what a life changing year this one has had! Four words constantly repeated when talking about her: Good girl gone bad! That's for sure a phrase that will forever be attached this young star. It's attached to her music, and especially to her wardrobe. I love how this year her look was youthful, punk, and very colorful.She loves form fitting leather and satin looks that emphasize her curves and keep the boys lined up (anyone member her fling with Josh Hartnett?!).She definitely has no fear when it comes to fashion! Umbrella-ella-ella eh eh eh! The song of the freakin' year! There's been like a million covers including a recent punk rock version by McFly that I like (the ending is the best part in their version 'ooo baby it's rainIN!')

ZOE KRAVITZ


Let's face it, the name 'Zoe' seems to be the name of the fashion forward, think Zoe Saldana, Rachel Zoe, erm...yeah that's all I can think of. But someone who I started taking notice of this past year is Zoe Kravitz.


Wild child, Zoe Kravitz has a graced magazine covers, including French mag Jalouse, and the 19-year-old daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet isn't stopping there. She made her acting debut in the movie "No Reservations." She's for sure one to look for in the coming year!

HILARY DUFF

Love love love this girl's style evolution! This year we've been able to witness her growth as a person as well through her more mature style. A lot's happened including breakups, rumored eating disorders, her parents split, and her huge world tour promoting her new album With Love, and through it all she seems to have stayed grounded and classy. Maybe it was the new brown hair? If not, one things for sure, this girl KILLED the style game in '07 and if I could steal (ahem*peek into*) anybody's closet it would definitely be hers!


KERRY WASHINGTON



OOoo Kerry! What a year it's been for this gorgeous femme fatal who has really come out of her shell and into the spotlight this year! If you've seen The Last King of Scotland, or this years I Think I Love My Wife, you know she is a very talented, versatile actress, but we're now discovering her fun and chic style. After her engagement to David Moscow ended this year, she let loose and has been spotted canoodling with George Clooney at the Ocean's Thirteen premiere in Cannes, to Common on his video shoots. Ooh beeheyve Kerry!



Who knows what the coming year will bring for the actress who has been quoted saying :

I don't think I'm even close to fulfilling my potential. And I think also
that, unlike a pianist or a flutist, an actor has an instrument that is
constantly changing.

Well this is only part one of the list .....the top four girls and a special surprise are coming up...stay tuned!
