June 2008 in NYC

June in New York should mean sunshine rather than showers, but more often than not you'll get a morning of blistering sunshine followed by a torrential downpour. Not ones to be caught out by a little thing like the weather, savvy New Yorkers are not only ditching their scarves and socks for slingbacks and summer dresses, but are also shelving slick foundations in favour of Maybelline's new Pure.Foundation Mineral make-up that gives a flawless finish and won't slide in the sun.
 And that's not all. To make sure they're prepared for all eventualities, we've spotted the most stylish gals stashing a pair of Swims galoshes alongside their sunhats. In a range of colours, these sleek rubbers slip over your favouriteflats, keeping them dry and giving you grip on slippery streets. What else is hot in the city? Free concerts, that's what. Head to Central Park for the annual SummerStage (summerstage.org) music festival. Just make sure you get there early for the pick of the bunch; a gig from homegrown indie rockers, Vampire Weekend, it's where all the cool kids will be rocking it on June 14.
