While visiting New York City last week, it seemed like everyone was sporting a fabulous fur hat or fur head wrap. Dressing for the winter season also means keeping warm. One of the most important items for winter is the winter coat. A little trench coat is perfect combined with a tulip skirt. Match jeans with a military style jacket and this season’s must, a small, cute and ladylike coat to your knees to wear with a matching belt.

So what’s Mega Hot and what’s Mega Not this winter season?

The three top trends for 2006 are

1. Pearls…pearls and more pearls
2. The Fendi Spy Bag is definately the accessory of the year
3. Cigarette jeans are truly back again…started by Kate Moss, of course

   Because it’s the holidays, I took it upon myself to see what was on the Christmas fashion wish list of New View Model Management Team: Susan Kemme -- A tailored blue velvet trench coat with black faux fur cuffs and a whole closet full of ultra-hip, funky and classy boots. Stephanie Sphire -- A satin pencil skirt and a cinch waist belt Chester Ricks -- Black pointed cowboy boots Cat Jones -- A big jeweled necklace Dorothy Campbell -- A new pair of tennis shoes for the gym (let’s get her some jeweled Nikes) Renata Doddy -- A Parasuco coat and a pair of chocolate brown suede over-the-knee boots

My Christmas fashion wishes to all are...

#1 Have fun with fashion…Don’t take it too seriously.

#2 Remember you wear the clothes…they don’t wear you.

#3 Fashion is all ATTITUDE….
