Model fans have a special reason to attend the Tribeca Film Festival this year, as one of the supermodels will be displaying her filmmaking and director skills.

Christy Turlington began her travels focusing on maternal care in 2006 when she visited El Salvador, and through the years became more and more involved with the goal of reducing maternal mortality. After seeing the women first-hand and learning about the struggles many encounter while pregnant, Christy decided to do something. That something turned into a documentary called “No Woman, No Cry,” which highlights specific stories of childbirth, financed and directed by Christy in not only a monetary aspect, but her own determination to bring awareness to the plight of these women.

Put down the boring black leggings ladies. There are a ton of colors in the rainbow, and with everyone’s obsession comes a multitude of different options to try out.

As today’s style inspiration, Liu Wen gives us a Contemporary Chic turned Rule Breaker outfit, with leopard leggings and a pinned up black blazer. The key to this outfit is the neutral hues needed in order to balance out the bold print. Stick with darker colors for the tank and blazer, while giving your legs that bit of pop that all gams deserve.

In addition to our new daily shopping stories, Modelinia also has plans to bring you a trend piece each week, divided into the four categories to prove that each style profile can embrace the latest looks. Put simply, everyone can wear a trend piece, but you have to shop very carefully. As with everything that we do here at Modelinia, we’re inspired by the models, so each week, we’ll showcase a model wearing a must-have item, and then shop it for you - one style profile per day.

Through the winter, it’s all about stocking up on sweaters and jackets in order to keep warm, but as the weather changes to spring, those layers turn into outerwear. With the obsession over blazers, the buttoned-up look is an obvious choice, which certainly doesn’t need to be boring!

This week, we were inspired by Jessica Stam in her multi-color tweed blazer, styled over a vintage t-shirt and skinny jeans. We picked out our favorite Rule Breaker blazers, but now it’s time to take a Modern Boho look at the trend. Throw one of these blazers over a floral dress to transition your winter wardrobe into spring!

Now that we’ve had an entire evening to digest the fact that Gisele Bündchen graces the April 2010 Shape issue of Vogue, it’s time to share. Contributing editor Joan Juliet Buck describes an intimate scene: upon walking into Gisele’s Boston home, she finds the supermodel curled into a sofa chair with her son. Through the conversation, which ranges from Gisele’s alter ego to her new skin care line, a few quotes popped out - like her love for kung fu, why she has a star tattoo, and the meaning of her son’s name.

Sadly Rachel Zoe’s talented employee Taylor Jacobson has left the show, which means goodbye to the platinum blonde hair and sunnies on reality TV each week. But thankfully, Everyday Minerals decided Taylor was just too full of insightful comments, and gave her blog space for guest posts. Though we’re avid readers for the style advice she imparts, a recent post by Taylor was just too good not to share, as it relates to the supermodels.

And we have to give Taylor major model credit. Rounding out her top three girls are Anja Rubik, Sasha Pivovarova and Natasha Poly. While Taylor could just simply stop there, claiming her love for the girls based on their runway experience and editorials, she expands into the world of street style, calling out Natasha’s cat eye sunglasses and glitzy minis, Anja’s eccentric pieces, and Sasha’s daring style choices.

Want to guest blog for us Taylor? We’d love to know which newer girls you have your eye on…
