I can't actually believe 2009 is nearly over. I've been looking through the Coco's Tea Party archives and realised just how much has happened this year - but January doesn't seem that long ago. Here I've rounded up the top fashion moments from each month. Remember to vote for your favourite moment of the year - it will be interesting to see what wins...
January 2009: Marc Jacobs has Louis Vuitton Spray-Painted
In honour of the Stephen Sprouse/Vuitton collaboration the store got a little makeover. I still want one of the graffiti bags...
February 2009: Mary-Kate Olsen Wears Balmain
In the month of the Oscars MK stole all red carpet attention by wearing this Balmain dress to the Independent Spirit Awards. Note the dry shampoo in her hair - I hear this is how you get those amazing Olsen waves.
March 2009: Louis Vuitton's Bunny Ears
Some hated them, others loved them. Whichever camp you're in I'm sure you still remember them well. They were a major 09 statement.
April 2009: Topshop Opens in New York City
After a long wait Topshop finally opened its first store in the USA. So New Yorkers, are you loving it?
May 2009: Brangelina in Cannes
They're still going strong, despite the break-up stories that fill Grazia's covers every three to four weeks.
June 2009: Michael Jackson Dies
June was a crazy month. The week Michael Jackson died I literally couldn't walk down a street without a car driving past playing a Jackson song. And of course, everyone pulled out their shoulder-padded-jackets and aviator shades in honour of his style.
July 2009: Lara Stone Covers W Magazine
Everyone was happy to see a model on the cover of a fashion magazine. And 2009 has been a bit Lara crazy. Are you getting bored of her yet or are you happy to see more of her in 2010?
August 2009: Mary-Kate and Ashley in Animal Ears
You know I am a serious Olsen fan, and as expected I went crazy over the images of them in Maison Michel headbands. I like Ashley's mouse ears the best.
September 2009: Burberry Returns to London
London Fashion Week celebrated 25 years, saw the return of Burberry (who will be back again in Feb 2010) and was lucky enough to have Anna Wintour in presence. I still cannot believe I stood about a metre away from her at one point.
October 2009: Alexander McQueen's Shoes
Crazy, completely impractical, and everyone still wants them. Lady Gaga somehow even manages to do a little dance in them for the Bad Romance video.
November 2009: Dakota Fanning is Cool
As the year went on Dakota became more and more fashionable. The peek came in November when she covered Teen Vogue. I can't wait to see what she wears in 2010.
December 2009: Suri Cruise Wears Heels
At first it was cute, now she's wearing them everyday it's become a little odd. The amount of column inches Suri's heels have received are much higher than the shoes themselves though.
So what was your favourite moment?

i am totally in love with those bunny/mickey-mouse ears, i have to make them ^^.
Decisons decisions i loved the olsen bunny ears, but MJ is amazing and Dakota Fanning is defintely having a moment.
oh by the way I love the new header
For me Michael Jackson's death was definitely a moment to remember .. & speaking of Balmain. Michael Jackson was actually the inspiration to all those fascinating jackets :) He was wearing them before they even hit the market.

too difficult to pick between the olsens and their adorable lace ears and the fierceness of alexander mcqueen's shoes
Definetely MQ shoes. They will be part of the history of fashion for very longo from now on. I think they entirely shows why fashion is Art.
Someones can ahte them, other ones love them, as you said, but there is no doubt that they are incredibly original and amazing.

Btw, forgot to say I love the new header. Simple and chic, just how I like it.
