It's weird to think that by 2015 we're supposed to have hoverboards. Hate to break it to ya, Marty McFly, but it doesn't look like we'll be getting wheel-less skateboards or hovering vehicles within the next year. Seriously, Apple should stop making watches and start investing more time and money on hoverboards–their stock would go crazy!

It also makes me sad that past predictions of future fashions have not yet come to fruition. I am still waiting for the day that we get totally stellar looks in the style of Zenon (Girl of the 21st Century, which by the way is this century so we should definitely be having space station rock concerts by now, am I right?) but it seems that fashion designers have finally answered my prayers. Especially at London Fashion Week, holographic materials were on-trend following the rock-n-roll/rave influences of the season.

For spring, don't be afraid to add some high shine to your look with a metallic moto vest or a sparkling mini skirt. Such iridescent pieces are best paired with classic pieces (silk blouses or knit sweaters, perhaps) but be weary; these looks are not for wallflowers. You'll be sure to be the center of attention in one of these dazzling get-ups, which is what makes holographic materials perfectly suited for a night out on the town or an awesome concert.

Would you dare to wear a futuristic holographic skirt or jacket?

Last year I believe I wrote a piece about the increasing trendiness of the "Ugly Christmas Sweater" and the plethora of faux-vintage holiday-themed knits available in the "Urban Renewal" section at Urban Outfitters.

This year, even the trendiest of high-end designers have hopped on the bandwagon (pulled by reindeer, of course) and have dreamed up some perfect holiday clothing items.

Tibi, Chinti and Parker, and Markus Lupfer all have stylish updates on the ugly sweater if your friends invite you to an ugly sweater Christmas party but you cannot bring yourself to pick up some previously-worn moth eaten rag from the GoodWill (or from your great aunt's closet).

For the literary salon sartorialist, stun your friends with your erudite reading preferences and clutch Olympia Le-Tan's marvelous Grinch embroidered book-purse - not to be mistaken for a backpack, of course. It's sure to be a conversation starter: "Who is this Dr. Seuss, and what strand of postmodernist deconstruction theorist is he, exactly?"

And of course, if you've ever felt a burning desire to understand the emotions of a cat forced to wear a bell collar around its neck, Charlotte Olympia has concocted a festive version of her sky-high platform pumps by painting them in lush red suede and glimmering gold - and of course, adding golden bells along the ankle strap. You'll make an entrance wherever you go, and with your own soundtrack too!

So what do you all think of these Christmas-themed designer pieces? Would you be willing to shell out big bucks for a gingerbread-man-themed cross-body purse, or would you rather pay for the satisfaction of eating a real cookie?

Nothing is quite as classically sexy as a lip print. A little provocative without being too provocative, a lipstick mark on a napkin can be a coy and flirtatious move.

The same could be said for lip prints and shapes on clothing and accessories. It's a fun and flirty motif that can be applied to any outfit or style.

Feeling bold? The primary-colored Au Jour Le Jour skirt is loud and cheeky, as is the oversized red snakeskin Lulu Guinness lip-shaped bag. Or, if you just want a whiff of sassiness, the Mallarino bracelet or DVF clutch would be perfect!

Either way, lip shapes are an awesome and fun trend to try out when wanting to make a statement.

I think we knew this would happen the moment it was announced that Catwoman would be making an appearance in the last of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, but cats are making a bit of a splash in the fashion world. There's just something about felines- you can go from super cute to super sexy in a second with cat-inspired clothes, which is probably why people are eating them up. Here are my favorite cat-inspired picks:
