Trends to Help Keep You on the Run

N E W  Y O R K, Aug. 30 -- It's tough keeping up with trends, but it's even tougher keeping up with the people who do, especially if they happen to be on a skateboard with 24 wheels, one of this fall's hot fads.

Jane Buckingham, a trend correspondent for The Style Network, said the 11 new trends she picked out for this fall have a common denominator.

"They're all about originality and fun and being different; so many new products are launching every day, people are looking for the thing that can distinguish them," Buckingham said on Good Morning America.

Disposable cell phones: These are based on the same philosophy as disposable cameras, with manufacturers hoping the use 'em and leave 'em phones will become a hit. You can also save the shell of the phone and replace the minutes. The phones are available in different colors, and users can purchase a certain amount of minutes. They cost $40 for 30 minutes of talk time. Made by Telespree (www.telespree.com).

They are great when you forget your phone or lose it, or if you want to give your child a cell phone without worrying about giving away a phone with a one-year contract, Buckingham said.

Diamond studs for cell phones: When in doubt, add diamonds. Tiny diamond studs are now being sold as a way to customize cell phones. The tiny custom appliqués are $6 to $8 a piece. The phone jewels can be found under "Jewlz" at www.coolstuffusa.com.

Polaroid I-zone camera: This is a two-inch camera that takes Polaroid-style pictures with stickers on the back. The cameras cost $25 to $28 (www.i-zone.com). A Sticky Jewelry necklace to hold the picture retails for $11.99 (www.stickyjewelry.com).

Xbox: Microsoft's video game system is comparable to Sony's PlayStation II. But what is different about it is you can play online with anyone in the world. The system features an Ethernet port, which allows for online gaming via a broadband connection. You can also play DVDs and CDs on the system by Microsoft. It costs $299 (www.xbox.com).
