This is my favourite time of year, when the days are long, nights are balmy, and there’s a certain romance in the air. It’s an inspiring setting for all the festivals that flourish across the country, poolside glam and jet setting style. In the issue, we also bring you our cover star, Sofia Richie, in which she discusses the pressures and pleasures of her rise to Hollywood stardom and what it’s like being brought up in such a famous family and living life in the spotlight. A special thanks to the SLS Beverly Hills for hosting such a magical shoot.

FACE THE SUN

We all love that Summer feeling but as the heat increases your skin takes a high toll. Sun protection is a must! A daily dose of the right sunscreen is a critical step in your skin care routine. There are advanced sunscreen formulas which combine powerful protection with an almost weightless feel so your makeup goes on silky smooth.

Apply a sunscreen that has an SPF of 30 or

THE BURNING ESSENTIALS!

Summer is here! This means extended funtime outdoors exposing more skin to the sun. Summer is the long awaited time of the year to schedule vacations to sunny and exotic destinations, to lounge around at the beach or the pool wearing your favorite swimming suit without thinking much about daily tensions. Celebrity Dermatologist William Schweitzer, M. D., F.A.A.D. of ProDerm Image Cosmetic Dermatology cautions that it is important to take a few steps to protect your beautiful skin from the damaging UV rays.

IN THE KNOW: UV AND YOUR SKIN

Dr. Schweitzer explains that your skin is the largest organ of your body, it covers you entirely and acts as a shield against sunlight, injury, and infection. Over-exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds or sun lamps is the number one cause of skin cancer. Additionally, our love affair with sun bathing can bring about premature aging, spots, wrinkles and leathery skin.

Sunlight contains both visible and invisible rays or waves: long waves are harmless to our skin and shorter waves like UV light rays can penetrate deeper into the skin. UV rays can cause problems on our skin’s delicate processes which affect the health and appearance of the skin. The skin becomes less elastic, wrinkly, leathery, or even thin as tissue paper.

higher and contains titanium dioxide, zinc, mexoryl SX, avobenzone. These ingredients provide excellent sun protection and are not absorbed into the skin. Not all sunscreens are created equal and not all ingredients are innocent!

Re-apply sunscreen approximately every two

hours and immediately after swimming or sweating. Be extra cautious when you are near water, concrete, or sand as they reflect and intensify sun rays. Don’t forget your hands, neck, ears, and feet as they can burn without protection.

Seek shade when available. The sun’s rays are

the strongest between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, if your shadow is shorter than you are, find a shady spot.

Wear a large brimmed hat and sunglasses to

protect your eyes.

Protect your pout! Whatever your color choice,

look for lip balm instead of gloss as it will stay on longer and hydrate your lips. Choose an SPF of 15 or higher and re-apply as needed.

to Getting Gorgeous Summer Hair: Terax Hair Care

A favorite amongst A-list celebrities, top models and hair stylists, Terax Hair Care has become an industry staple and insider must-have. Terax Hair Care is world renowned for products that keep hair healthy, strong, and looking beautiful—all season long. Modeliste went directly to the source, Marco Musumeci, President of Terax Hair Care to find out what makes Terax the most coveted hair care line. Tell us about the Terax Hair Care line. Terax Hair Care is focused on the overall health of the hair, not just the finished style. Our products are engineered to perform on all types of hair, both healthy and damaged, Caucasian and ethnic. We view conditioning as the most important part of the hair care regimen and have built our product assortment around that philosophy.

What inspired the line’s creation? The line was originally inspired by individuals and salons looking for ways to care for their wigs in 1960s Italy. The founders of the brand, two Italian brothers, realized that the product worked so well on the coarse hair used for wigs, and would likely work even better on real hair.

They began with just two products, Original Crema and a leave in conditioner. We have slowly expanded the line since that time. What makes Terax Hair Care products so unique? Our conditioning system is based on pH balancing the hair for optimum moisture and color protection. The Original Crema conditioner is a high pH, which opens the hair cuticle and imparts all of the conditioning and moisturizing. Our leave in conditioners are low pH, which immediately close the cuticle and lock in color, moisture and protect against heat damage. What tips do you have for Summer hair care? Summer hair is about being able to go from the house to the beach/pool to a great new restaurant without having to

worry about your hair each step of the way. Make sure the hair is conditioned well and the style will be easy to set. No worries about split ends or fly-aways, when hair is healthy from the inside out. What are you seeing as the hottest Summer hair trends? Messy buns, braided updo’s – anything that can be done quick and easy. Enjoy the sun and fresh air without having to spend a lot of time styling your hair. What’s next for the line? Any new launches we can be on the lookout for? New styling products this coming fall season and we are hard at work on an exciting new line extension for the brand!

YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD

Innovation.

Unlike other foot cushions, our patented Lily Pad gel foot cushions can adhere directly to various areas of the foot. As stated above, they will not slip or move when adhered to the foot. This unique flexibility provides a personal level of comfort that is not felt with other foot cushions. Body and Sole Comfort gel foot cushions stay in place all day long.

Sizzling summer nights beckon your hottest high heels. The summer party season means countless occasions on which to wear all those sparkly, impractical, towering heels we lust over. Finally, Modeliste fashion editors found the perfect footwear accessory we now all swear by from Body and Sole Comfort. The innovative, reusable gel foot cushions have proved you can now get through the night in your sexiest stilettos without winding up as the barefoot girl on the dance floor. We went straight to the source to find out what makes these cushions the ultimate fashion muts-have.

Body & Sole Comfort 38

The inspiration.

I watched a doctor inject silicone into the ball’s a woman’s foot to create more padding to alleviate pain from wearing high heels. I thought the injections were extreme and costly and there must be a more effective and economical way to address this problem that tens of thousands of women experience each day. This inspired me to create a washable and reusable gel foot cushions that adhere directly onto the foot or shoe which mimics our body’s own cushioning.

Why wear Body and Sole Comfort foot cushions? The primary benefits of wearing Body and Sole Comfort gel foot cushions is the alleviation of foot pain that can arise from wearing various types of shoes. Our gel foot cushions act like our body’s own foot padding and absorbs shock while transferring pressure from the foot to the gel cushion, alleviating foot pain.

Wear and care.

Simply wash the gel foot cushions with soap and water, then let them dry. Once dry, the gel cushions will become sticky again, ready for their next use.

What’s next for the line? Any new launches?

Watch out for additional cushions coming out in late 2017.

5 PAIRS of summer-perfect brightsideeyewear.com

Sunglasses for the Beach and beyond

OR3-1 No matter how much time you spend picking out the perfect outfit, the quickest— and easiest—way to stand out from the crowd is with a great pair of sunglasses. This summer promises to be full of sunglasses which are anything but incognito. There’s no better time to invest in a new pair, and we caught up with the founder designer of the ultrahip label, Brightside Eyewear, Kevin Pugar, to view their latest collection filled with the ultimate inspiration and the season’s coolest styles. Here, we found our favorites that will have you stylishly shaded all summer long.

OR3-1 - $75 OX4-1 - $75 54

Tell us about the Brightside sunglasses label. At Brightside, we focus on quality, craftsmanship, and style; but that doesn’t mean affordability has to be thrown out the window. I’ve always loved a good pair of sunglasses, but I got fed up paying such an outrageous amount for them. So I set out to create a brand that offers designerquality sunglasses without that insane price tag. It’s also really important to us to give back, so Brightside donates a portion of every pair of sunnies we sell to two awesome charities!

OX4-1 Who is the ultimate Brightside Eyewear girl. Being in Los Angeles, it’s easy to get that kind of romanticized image of the Southern California girl with the relaxed, beachy lifestyle, but I think LA girls are so great with how well they can switch or blend that with an urban style, a more dressedup look, or whatever. LA is such a melting pot that gives us an amazing representation of all walks of life, and I try to use that to help inspire our frames. I would say the Brightside girl simply owns her unique style, and of course likes to accessorize with great sunnies! What makes your sunglasses so unique? The quality for the price. Brightsides aren’t like those cheap $20 sunglasses you get off a giant rack. These are the real deal. We use premium acetate, stainless steel, and quality hardware on our frames. What makes us even more unique is that we use mineral glass lenses instead of plastic. Very few brands use glass, and I never understood why. Glass makes the frame feel sturdier, provides for optimal clarity, and is way more scratch resistant than plastic.

OR1-1

OX1-1 What was the inspiration behind the latest collection? I’ve always been a huge fan of the classics, and our first collection is definitely inspired by some of the quintessential styles and colorways that belong in everyone’s arsenal. I also wanted the frames in this line to be unisex so that guys and girls can both rock them. As new lines come out, there will be even more classic styles with our own twists, as well as some more gender-specific designs. What are your Summer Brightside Eyewear style must-haves? Even though pretty much all sunglasses could be considered must-haves during summer, I will say that I especially love the Orville frame with the blue mirror lenses this time of year. They scream fun and sun. I think the Oxford in vintage light brown also gives off a specific summer-y kind of vibe. Why do you think sunglasses are the ultimate fashion accessory? Your face is the first thing people notice when they look at you. You want your sunglasses to make a statement, whether it’s strong or subtle. They give you the perfect opportunity to top off your outfit that no other accessory can do. Besides, is there anything else you wear that makes you look and feel as cool as your sunglasses do? 55

OX1-1 $75/$90 polarized

OR1-1 $75/$90 polarized What do you think your sunglasses say about your personality? A lot! Your frame style can give off an aura anywhere from sophisticated, to boring, to classy, to high maintenance. Whether you’re someone who is constantly burning through cheap sunnies, or you’re the type of girl who wears the more gaudy frames that cover half your face, it definitely says something about your personality. What are your tips to picking out the perfect pair of sunglasses? Make sure you pick a style that suits your facial structure. Round faces should go with a more squared off frame, and boxier faces should go with a round frame. If you’ve got an oval or triangle face, you pretty much can’t go wrong. Decide whether you want a plastic or metal frame, if you prefer frames without nose pads, and if you want standard or polarized lenses. Also make sure the quality and materials are up to par. Don’t settle for cheap, but definitely don’t overpay. You’ll want to keep it fresh by having at least a few different pairs in your rotation. Above all, just wear what feels right!
