What's Hot '08

Do's and Don'ts, Ins and Outs, Hot or Nots.

1. Skinny. Wear skinny jeans. Just when you thought the trend might be over, wear those skinny jeans for another season ladies. If you haven't tried them yet, do it!
2. Don't. We repeat - Don't wear baggy jeans. When were baggy jeans ever 'happening' in the first place? Chanel never had a Model gracing the runway with their boxer shorts hanging out and waving at everyone. Have fun, have pride, have individual taste, but with a belt. Belts are always a winning accessory.
3. Sprinkle some seasoning with your shorts. Shorts are making a big come back and not just for the summer. Pair them with cashmere leggings, add a vest with a white button up shirt. You'll look like you just stepped out of Vogue this season.
4. If you're over the age of six, ditch those Mary Janes. We've got nothing against cats just try not to look like the crazy cat lady when picking footwear.
5. Back it right up by bringing it back... Five years is a general good rule of thumb to bring something back on your back. Don't stop there, add some personal accessory or signature. It’s bold, yes. It's risky, yes. Isn't that what we're going for?
6. Don't ever be afraid to throw something away... unless it's Gucci.
7. Find a way to feel like you when shopping for your new looks. Just because it is "in", doesn't mean it works for you. If it doesn't feel right, it's not.
8. Don't be afraid of anything on the Runways this season. Designers went back to basics with their collections. The color palate is rich, cool, and deluxe.
9. Metallics are sophisticated and elegant for sure. So, if you got an ole' gold clutch hidden away, its time to bring it back.
10. Note the trends on the show. Don't miss an instant of The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency. She features the latest looks. So, Watch, Wear, and Be Bold. It's a big closet out there, but sooner or later, we all got to come out.

Makeup Trends

Make Up for this season is all about Midas touch, or brush I'll say. Golds and Silvers on the eyes, a touch of pink on the cheeks, and cool-Ruby on the mouth. Look for lots of smokey tones, like from the 20's era, around the eyes. They are sticking around from last season. For a fresh and newfangled appearance, adding bright pink to the lips, your casual looks are accented ultra-electro-pop. It's thrilling and very fresh.

When the heat is on and the temperature is high, go for a sexy light Blue Frost on the lids. It’s fun and fresh. The big No-No for this year is bronzer. We are finally taking it down a bit. No more orange faces please.

Till Next Time
