trend was dwindling towards the end of 2014 but we held onto those White Sneakers and I, for one, really did not mind because it IS the perfect marriage of comfort AND style.

Personally, 2015 was the year of Minimalism and it looked like everyone was going that route and hence started the whole trend of designer Mini Bags. Everyone from Fendi to Celine have been making these baby bags for their big bag versions. How cute is that? I have always been a carry-my-whole-world-in-my-bag kinda person, but these are actually a welcome change to save my shoulders and back.

Cameron Diaz, the original cool girl, found the love of her life in Benji Madden, brother-in-law of Nicole Ritchie and tied the knot in January 2015. She sure had a great start to her year.

The biggest news of the year was Bill Cosby and the never-ending allegations of assault and rape by several women. Even though it started in 2014, it's still in the news because of the number of women who are coming out and speaking up about the trauma they have endured. And what was truly remarkable was the cover of July's issue of New York magazine that had these 35 women, each sitting in a chair, their faces looking straight at the camera and the caption read " We are not afraid anymore".
