what lens? what camera?
if a point+shoot or cameraphone then no doubt you're going to get distortions like this happening.

It only happens on highlights on the whole

Doesn't everyone just love troubleshooting problems with little or no information?
We're all willing to help you out (well, most of us) but you have to give us some goddamn information man!

Chromatic Abberration. Can be fixed in PS.

Well, I removed it with photoshop. Seems to have added a very minor yellow fringe because I had to reduce the blue so much but, it's less blue now. Still a glow but less noticable.

I think your camera is magic and is capturing your subject's aura.

your lens could be f*ked.
or you need to clean it.

I should add, on occasion, theres almost like theres a fog over the image. You know, like that old cheesy effect where you rub a bit of vasaline on a uv filter to add a dreamy effect.
Except, I'm not doing that and it doesn't happen every time...
- < lens flare. but from an indirect light source bouncing around inside the lens. Try a hood.monNom

Return the lens and ask for another one.

chromatic abberation.. try photographing a tree in bright light, see of the edges of the tree branches on the edges of your frame have this blue glow edge, or "purple fringing" as it's called....
if so, get a different lens, or shoot in less edge-contrasty situations...
the fog over everything may just be flare... and/or the lens was dropped and elements are out of alignment....
- dxoptics.com has a chromatic aberation filter.. but you may be expecting the impossible from your lensvaxorcist

miosture has entered your lens.
if possible, store in a plastic tub with lid in a cool dry place with an open box of baking soda and a bowl of rice and some of those do not eat silica packs if you can get to them
overnight should do it

chromatic aberration typically happens when you shoot wide open or stopped down. also zoom lens are much more prone to it.

what lens are you using? and what f stop were you shooting at?
where in the frame did this occur? in the corners or in the center?

i heard this happens only with digital cameras
true?

like ok_not_ok said, get the 1.4 or just replace it. @ < $100 I wouldn't count on it holding up for more than a year or two anyway.
Or try the moisture thing. Also, is it more exaggerated around the corners, or even over the entire image?
- Also, try a different lens and see if you get the same issue... although I'd be surprised to find you do.DoTheMacarena
