There's no doubt that much of the advertising shown during the Olympic games targets women -- have you noticed all the commercials for osteoporosis meds, baby products, and women's razors? And there's reason -- research has shown that women tune in to the Olympics for many reasons. They enjoy the "occasion," and all the pomp and circumstance; they appreciate the dedication and commitment the athletes have to their sports; plus, it's great family programming.

However, we think many women have another reason for tuning it -- the male athletes.

Those of us who live in warm regions face the same challenge every fall -- so many hot new trends come out, but for the most part, it's just too hot to wear them! Sure, there might be a day or two in December or January during which we can wear a wool coat without sweating to death, but most of us aren't going to blow our budget buying items we'll only wear once or twice a season. But still, we want to step into fall fashion -- what to do, what to do?

We have several suggestions that will keep you looking hot but feeling comfortably cool. Those of you who live in colder climates might be able to use these suggestions early in the season, but for some of you, these will be ways to look seasonal until spring!

We are obsessed with cutout wedges right now. They're hot, they're fun, they're easy to wear. They can add an edge to any outfit, yet they're versatile enough that you could easily wear them to class or a club.

Its summer which means its time to brighten up from head to toe. Here are the hottest nail color picks for one scorching summer look.

Read ahead for our picks from top sellers at Sephora, Beauty.com, and Drugstore.com.

Wearing makeup in the heat can be a real drag. Hot, humid days take away even our urge to cake on the turquoise eyeshadow and coral blusher. Don't even mention sticky lipgloss. Ugh.

Still, there are occasions in the heat of summer when you need a little something to make your face to look finished: weddings, graduations, baby showers, even the company picnic. For these light-wear days, we're loving CK Calvin Klein Shimmer Palette in Urban Luster.

Most of us love the summertime – the sun, the beach, the warmth, the runny makeup... okay, so maybe we don't love all of it. When the weather is hot and you're sweating your face off literally, it is time to readjust your makeup routine so you don't look like a hot mess for the next three months.

We had a great weekend. We danced our butts off, sang our hearts out and probably had one too many beers at the Glow in the Dark tour in illy Philly on Saturday night. But as always, we were thinking of our dear reader's and before we went in to enjoy the likes of Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco (heart!), N.E.R.D. and the brilliant Kayne, we took a tour of tailgate heaven to see what's hot and what's not for concert gear this year.

Here is a breakdown of the ideal concert attire:

He's hot and he knows how to appreciate the magic of a suit that fits perfectly -- now that's my kind of man! Milo Ventimiglia just may have a future in fashion after all.

From Cameron Diaz to Fergie to Nicole Richie, celebrities know that the best way to steal the limelight on the red carpet is with this season's hottest style -- brightly colored, boldly patterned dresses.

Seriously, if prints are good enough for James Bond's girlfriend, they're good enough for us. Ever since we saw Daniel Craig's long term girlfriend, Satsuki Mitchell, in her stunning spring flower inspired dress we have been lusting after that style!

Guess who that is. Yep, she's George Clooney's uber gorgeous girlfriend Sarah Larson. She was called upon to model. She walked the runway during L.A. Fashion Week for Ashley Paige in a few hot one piece bathing suits.

Dating George Clooney is obviously great for her career! But seeing as how Sarah has friends in high places, you'd think that the makeup artists for Ashley Paige would have been a little bit more careful. They made Sarah look like a man!

Compare her Oscar photos with these pictures on the runway. For the Oscar's she was fresh faced and lovely. On the runway her makeup was heavy and masculine. Was that really necessary? Did they have to cover up all her pretty features in 5 pounds of makeup!?!

I'm not sure if this was just a one time gig or if Sarah actually wants to pursue full time modeling. I know that models starting out don't have a lot of say in the way they look and are presented for a designer. But, if she's going to do this again, hopefully George can pull a few strings and get a no tranny makeup clause put in her contract.

Leader of the French, President Sarkozy, is a seriously lucky man. He's dating a former super model! Carla Bruni is hot. And I decided we need a term for women like her, so I came up with FLILF. You know like a MILF except it's First Lady I'd Like to BLEEP instead of Mom I'd Like to BLEEP. Yes, very clever, I know.

Politicians seem to be lucky enough to get themselves women that would be way out of their league on a normal basis. I'm not saying Sarkozy isn't cute, he is. But, cute enough to date a super model? I'm not so sure about that. He looks like my grandpa, but she definitely doesn't look like my grandma!

And we don't have to go all the way across the big pond to find more examples of this trend. Looking right in America's backyard you'll see that plenty of politicians here have figured out the magic formula too. Take Fred Thompson, for example. Jeri Thompson, the well endowed blond he calls his wife, looks young enough to be his daughter! John McCain's wife Cindy is pretty much a babe too, and rumor has it even that's not good enough for him. He's got a little something on the side with a different girl who's supposed to be hot as well(although I couldn't find any pictures, sorry). Even Elizabeth Kucinich, Dennis' wife, is a beautiful modelesque redhead who stands about a foot taller than him.

So ladies, what is it about politicians and power that gets our panties in a bunch? How do these averagely attractive men attract the likes of the Carla Bruni's of the world?

David Beckham has always been very open about the fact that he basically lets Victoria Beckham use him for playing dress up. She serves as his wife and stylist. What a talented multi-tasking woman!

Well, Mrs. Becks wants all to guys to learn how to wear their jeans like David. So she's going to make it easy for them and design a line of men's jeans to be sold though her brand, dVb. And the most important feature of these jeans? Well, she thinks men should absolutely, under no circumstances show off their junk."I think guys should wear jeans big and baggy, with a big pair of boots or flip-flops; exactly how you see David when he's out in his jeans and T-shirtDo not pull them up tight and have your bulge showing. Let it hang!"

About the style of what she's designing Victoria says, "These are not skinny jeans. They are what I call proper men's jeans. If you are a man that likes really skinny jeans, very fashiony, this isn't really the line for you. I didn't want anything too tight around the crotch. That really repulses me. It might be fashionable, but you are not going to get that from dVb."

Seriously, why does Victoria have such a fascination with talking about David's manhood? Yeah, anyone else remember when she compared his penis to a tractor exhaust pipe?!? Yes, it's true. David Beckham is hotter than the sun. But that's still T.M.I. regardless of who we're talking about!

Anyways, back to the subject at hand. I will admit that David does wear his jeans very nicely. But the dVb version will be retailing for about $220-$285. Guess I won't be buying my hubby a pair of these anytime soon.

Browse through the gallery to see David Beckham looking gorgeous in jeans. Because when it comes to His Royal Hotness, there's no such thing as too much of a good thing.

Eternal beach bum Matthew McConaughey has decided to capitalize on all the attention that being a shirtless hunk brings. He's going to be designing his own line of swim wear and other beach apparel.

The line will include items such as frisbees, t-shirts and bathing suits. Following Matty's personal motto -- just keep livin,' his brand will be named j.k. livin'.

Matthew knows that he has a reputation for being a laid back, fun and sun loving kind of a guy so he wants to cash in. His rep says about j.k. livin', "It will be a one-stop shop for every-thing you need for the beach."

When I first read the story I didn't really think that a line of beach clothing made sense for Matthew. I could understand a beach workout video, beach exercise equipment or something along those lines. I know a lot of guys who wish they had abs like Matty! But, I do not know many men who wish they had his sense of style. He constantly looks like he smells. And he does, we have proof! Kate Hudson kindly asked him to start using deodorant after working with him and his natural body odors for too long. Who wants to buy clothes from a stinky guy?

Well, if you do, they're going to be available this summer at Matthew's personal website.

Milan is all abuzz over the incredible show that Miuccia Prada put on this week. Her clothes are being touted as revolutionary. People have even gone so far as to say that Prada is the way of the future. And if not the way of the future, Prada will at the very least be show of the year.

The collection feature was Swiss guipure, an insanely hard to work with lace. Miuccia said, "Our financial controller is breathing down my neck as people normally order 20 or 30 meters. But I ordered 700 meters. We had them working all night in Switzerland."

A pair of Swiss guipure leggings even made their way down the runway. Lindsay Lohan single handedly ruined the leggings trend for me, but seeing them redone in such a beautiful material rekindled my love.

The risk that Miucca took in working with such a challenging material definitely paid off. The clothes are absolutely stunning. I think I actually drooled a little bit while looking through the photos. And the best thing is, they are wearable! I can imagine an actress like Cate Blanchett making her way down the red carpet in one of these dresses and landing on every best dressed list.

Every look that walked down the runway gave off the aura of a self-assured woman. These clothes are all about confidence and femininity. Browse through the gallery and tell me what you think.
