Style.com asked some of my favorite stylish ladies what they hoped to accomplish, or do better, in the coming year. For 2009 the resolutions ranged from spending more time with family, to finding the perfect dress. Some of my favorites:

Jenna Lyons, creative director, J.Crew
“It’s time to give up froufrou and add more menswear tailoring, nude, caramel, buff, gray, and a touch of neon…and, if I were ten years younger, a jumpsuit!

Liya Kebede, model
“I recommend people visit Africa—that is what I want to do. I want to try and see all the different countries. I also think people should get involved, volunteer, and simply help others in any way you can. This is the way forward.”

Marina Rust, contributing editor, Vogue
“I know if I squeeze a lemon into a cup of hot water and honey every morning I will actually feel and look better. Maybe this year I will remember to do it.”

Lisa Mayock, designer, Vena Cava
“Learn Spanish. Or at least start.”

Sophie Buhai, designer, Vena Cava
“Monochromatic fashion that feels elegant (but is almost boring) paired with an eccentric large metal necklace is what I am wanting to wear. As far as giving things up, I’d say it’s time to give up flashy designer bags. The new year and a new economy are all about buying vintage Ferragamo and Bottega on eBay.”

Chanel Iman, model
“Step back into my closet and re-create the things I haven’t worn in a while and do wardrobe swaps with my friends. After the swap, you can go shopping for that one item that will make the trade pop. It’s kind of a green way to go.”

While I am horrible at keeping resolutions, I sort of like the tradition of evaluating the ways that you could have improved the year that just passed and looking forward with positive thoughts of how to make life just a little sweeter for the coming year. This year I resolve to spend more time being active and outdoors, start going to yoga more often, be better at keeping in touch with friends and family and to take a vacation somewhere I have never been before. And as for my style resolution? I want to find a perfect oversized clutch, a great fitting pair of jeans that are hemmed perfectly, add some cool vintage muscle tees to my wardrobe, start making my own jewelry and utilize the sewing machine gathering dust in my apartment. How about you?
