Like it or not this year is finally coming to an end and I would like to recap some of the best trends and fashion moments of 2014.
Popular Designer of the year: Everyone seemed to join the Balmain army this year and became (bff's with the designer). Starting with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at the MET Ball in February, and continuing on to Kendall Jenner at Fashion Week
Best Fashion New Comer: I remember him from Project Runway and now Michael Costello has really made a name for himself. And you know you made it big when you design a custom Grammy gown for Beyonce!
Hot Fashion Trend/Staple: A couple of years later and the crop top is still going strong in the fashion world. Even Kerry Washington wore one on the red carpet while pregnant!
Chicest Fashion Trend: Ladies wearing suits will always be sexy and chic capes were everywhere in every color and style this year
Red Carpet Queens: These are the women who always looked good on the red carpet and were consistent with their amazing looks
Hottest Hair Styles: Side-parts with retro waves and curls appeared on almost every red carpet this year. And rightfully so, because retro glam always looks amazing! Besides that, so many women were rocking the bob haircut--whether it was faux or not--short hair was very popular in 2014.

Here is a look back at the 10 best and most popular trends of 2012
#1. The Little White Dress: This year the LBD took a back seat to the LWD, which dominated the red carpet this year. There wasn't a star who didn't wear one!
#2. The Peplum: Peplum pieces were beyond popular this year. From dresses, to tops, to skirts, peplums were attached to everything and everyone!
#3. Mullet Skirts: Whether you called them mullet skirts, high-low skirts, or asymmetrical skirts they were big in 2012! However, I think the cute trend may die down in 2013.
#4. Floral Prints: This trend will live on for forever and it made its mark in 2012. Floral prints covered everything this year including tops, dresses and even pants!
#5. Leather Pieces: Everybody was wearing leather this year--It's not just for motorcycle jackets anymore! I even found myself buying a pair of leather shorts.
#6. See-Through Gowns: Celebs took sheer to a whole new level this year! Forget showing a little skin, in 2012 ladies were showing off their undergarments and proudly.
#7. Illusion Dresses: We can thank Stella McCartney and Kate Winslet for putting this (silhouette flattering) trend on the map.
#8. Denim Shirts: Love it or hate it, denim shirts were very popular this year. And not just for girls but guys also--but we look better in them!
#9. Crop Tops: What more can I say besides, They're Back!
#10. Printed Suits: And last but not least, there were the printed/graphic suits. Kudos to the girls who were brave enough to wear one!
It may be the middle of December and very cold out right now, but ladies are still rocking the crop top! It is a little trend, with a 90's influence, that just won't go away. The midriff-revealing tops are very popular these days and were a staple at many Spring/Resort 2013 shows at NYFW. But now everyone is wearing them, and not just runway models! So...do you love it or hate it?
