Before I begin blogging about the latest trends, first I think it's pertinent to say goodbye to trends whose time has passed (I'm looking at you, Ugg boots).

So here is a list of what trends I think need to be put down quicker than you can take Old Yeller to the back of the shed (cue sentimental eulogy music). R.I.P. fellas...

Animals as accessories: Take that stupid Chihuahua out of your Louis Vuitton and leave him at home. If little Bit-Bit or Tinkerbell can't walk somewhere without getting trampled, then don't take them out in public.

Reality TV: If I see one more drunken co-ed eating bugs as she tries to be America's next top princess engaged to the Bachelor as she has a threesome with her housemates on her first night at Big Brothers house, my head just might explode.

Energy drinks as the new bottled water: Yes, we get it. Red Bull is trendy and delicious! (And it gives you wings!). But do you really have to carry it around everywhere? It's almost as bad as the former trend of carrying around your Diet Coke and drinking it from a straw.

Never taking off your Bluetooth: I don't care who you are, you are not that important.

Tattoo on your lower back: Your body is covered in skin. Find a new location for your tribal symbol that stands for  "Strength."

Shirts with cheeky sayings: I don't care that my boyfriend is looking at you or that you had him first or that you are a diva, so please stop broadcasting it across your chest.
