Do you remember when supermodels ruled the world? OK, maybe not the world, but they certainly ruled the runway and the front of magazine covers. I really miss them on the magazine covers. I hear this complaint now and then about celebrities being everywhere, even on the front of our beloved fashion tomes, and I have to agree. Celebrities have their own mags to grace-People, OK! , national enquirerlinks...(all right, that last one was a joke)

Do they have to take over the fashion arena, too? I suppose it's not surprising when you consider that practically every celebrity now has his or her own "clothing line."

But I really miss covers like this:


Do You Miss the Supermodel?


Remember the supermodel triumvirate of Campbell-Evangelista-Turlington? Remember when Linda Evangelista reportedly said "I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day?"

I still read the fashion mags, but every month, I wait with bated breath to see who's on the cover this time. Will it be, yet again, the celeb du jour, or will fashion go back to its roots and celebrate those tall Amazons who wear the clothes instead of letting the clothes wear them?

Fall 2008 Trend: Minimalism Title: Fall 2008 Trend: Minimalism

I know it's too hot to start thinking about sweaters, boots and coats, but before you know it, Fall will be here. I always equate Fall with that monster edition of Vogue magazine that takes me weeks to go through. You can leisurely haul your copy out every evening after work, sit with your beverage of choice and flip through glossy page after glossy page of what's "in" for Fall.

One Fall 2008 trend I'm excited about is Minimalism. Certain designers seem to stick with this concept no matter what the trends are - even when a season calls for opulence, Calvin Kleinlinks isn't going to stick a bunch of feathers and brocade on a jacket and call it a day. Thank goodness!

This Calvin Klein wrap coat from Nordstrom falls right in line with the clean, minimalist concept of Fall fashion. Even if minimalism isn't your thing, you can spice up this coat with a colorful scarf and/or gloves. It's all about adapting the trends to suit your particular style.

 

Hot days for the office Title: Hot days for the office

Ok, I know it has been hot out and with it only being the beginning of July, it is just going to get hotter and hotter, which makes it difficult to dress for the office. Commuting on the NYC subway system offers lots of "don'ts" to critique. Just because it is hot out does not mean that you can wear a skirt up to you boo-boo. Now I know a lot of the girls that I have seen wearing clothes like that are younger and probably don't know any better, so I am going to give everyone a guide.

Summer is usually all about the short dress, which is all well and great for people with fantastic tanned legs, which is not me. I am the pale redhead with the pale legs who rarely sees the sun (my skin will thank me later!). In order to compensate for the heat I go with a long blowy dress, also called a Maxilinks-dress, that will cover my legs, but leave me free to enjoy the breeze. Bonus for not having to worry about it blowing up and showing everything in the subway station!

If you live in NYC, there is a great shop in Chinatown called Madness Boutique on Canal and Broadway that has great long sundresses at amazing ($40!) prices!

Summer can be a tough time for keeping your hair manageable. Between the humidity, heat and not wanting it on the back of your neck, the sweating and general laziness caused by the hair, you hair can turn into a mess. A real easy way to fix this problem is doing a nice messy bun on the top of your head and forgetting about it. But, sometimes your look requires a little more style than that. I found this video that has some fantastic tips! Stylist natashalinks Sunshine will show you how to do the Malibu Twist, Hollywood Polish, and the Beverly Hills Ponytail (my fav!).

Reader email-rain boots in the summer.

Hey Ryan,
The weather is going crazy lately, can I still wear my wellies in the summer? -Sam


Sam,
Of course you can wear your wellies in the summer!! Rain boots are not like winter boots. You would look crazy wearing fur-lined boots during a summer thunderstormlinks, but a wellie is for all year long! Pair it with a cute dress and if you are wearing them to work, throw a pair of flip-flops or heels in your bag for in the office.

Hope that helped!!
