| Local forecast for 2009: Earth-friendly, budget-friendly
Irish names will take a lead in the baby-naming game and people will look for fitness inspiration outdoors. The new year will bring new challenges in technological advances as well. Local experts share their predictions for 2009: FASHION Sheer is making a comeback, but not the bare-all kind of sheer. "Just the subtle sheer, for a hint of glamour," local stylist Adam Nonner said. Bright colors of the '80s will be found on the store racks for spring — even neon pink, yellow and green — although they will not be contrasted against black, according to Nonner. "They will be accented with softer shades of the colors," he said. "This will mellow them out a bit." .
