Rather than looking back on 2016 with dully-deserved disappointment it may be time to switch gears. 2016 was rough. I’ll, too, save you from the way too sugary sweet and trite #blessed and #grateful posts – though they can be a lovely to take a minute and reflect back with positivity – and get right to what I hope for 2017. I hope there is celebration.

I'm all for editing down, making sure you surround yourself with people and things that bring you joy, and getting rid of junk that brings you down. Especially as we gear up to welcome a new year. For the final post of 2015, I'm taking out the trash.

It's time for my inaugural review of the year's trend triumphs and timeouts. Some are on the rise and well, some are done. Below are my top three "thumbs up" and "thumbs down." Together, let's shake off the duds of the past and welcome in the fresh, new year in style. Bring on 2015!
