Happy New Year's Eve! Just wanted to update my favorites of 2008 post! Here are some more 2008 memories...
*Anne Hathaway becomes a stylish starlet!

This year was definitely a rollercoaster one for the "Get Smart" star. Following their breakup, Anne's ex, Raffaello Follieri, ended up in prison for who knows what (Fraud? Money laundering? I can't remember). Throughout the ordeal, Anne maintained her poise during her emotional turmoil, all under public scrutiny - and she also managed to establish herself as a fashionista, successfully departing from her "young girl" image created in "The Princess Diaries." Anne is reminiscent of Old Hollywood glamour, and I think 2009 will be another fabulous, fashionable year for her.
*Michael Phelps breaks Olympic records, go USA!

In this year's summer Olympics in Beijing, swimmer Michael Phelps successfully shattered the previous gold medal record of 7 (held by swimmer Mark Spitz) by winning an astounding 8 gold medals - and breaking a few world records here and there. Since then, it seems like Michael's been endorsing every type of product out there. I think it's safe to say Mr. Phelps made believers out of all of us, especially those who doubted he could accomplish the feat of 8 golds.
*Marc Jacobs sports high heels for a photo shoot!

Leave it to fashion god Marc Jacobs to push boundaries even further by sporting high heels for a magazine shoot. According to The Cut, Marc did it "to feel how women suffer for fashion." Amazing! Marc's point of view, from The Cut:
"I like wearing skirts and high heels and stuff like that. I don't see it in a way that it's like women suffering. I see it in a way it's like women get to have all the fun."
That's definitely one way to look at it! Judging from his Spring collection, Marc Jacobs will be having a very successful year in 2009, recession or not.
More to come later! Hope you're prepping for some fabulous parties :)
