Christy Turlington epitomizes the words “natural beauty.” The simple, but stunning supermodel was lovely as ever walking the green grass carpet at the Super Saturday shopping soiree in the Hamptons. That’s where I chatted with the articulate and kind-hearted model mother/wife. Here’s what she had to say…

What’s so special about this event to you?
Well, Liz Tilberis started this organization, and was a dear friend of mine. When I first started working, she was an editor I worked with at British Vogue, and then at Harpers Bazaar when she came over to the States. I always like to support her – sort of a memorial in a way to her every year. And the bigger it gets, the more people that are thinking of her, and the more that she’s been able to leave on the planet behind her. It makes me so proud to have known her and proud that she’s been able to achieve this beyond her life.

Are you shopping for anything in particular today?
I usually don’t get much of a chance to shop. So I’m kind of hoping that I get an early look before everything is gone. Shoes are always good. And then I look for kids stuff. I have to say - they totally take over my life.

What tips do you have for women getting dressed for an outdoors summer event like Super Saturday?
Well, we have a couple of things today. So the idea of trying to dress in something you can wear throughout the whole day is a good thing to do if you can. But you get so hot and sticky and dusty. I can’t believe we got out of the car and it was like “ugghh.” But  I guess that something that can kind of carry you through the day. Not too dressed down; not too dressed up.

What’s the best outfit for shopping?
Hmm. Well, I don’t like to try anything on. But if you like to try anything on, stuff that you can slip on under your dress. Because you don’t have that much privacy. I see people kind of doing it under their dresses. One of those tube top dresses I think are pretty good, you can kind of [try on] either tops or bottoms – and not expose yourself.

Do you frequent the Hamptons?
I do. I spend my whole summer here. My husband is from Long Island, so it’s not really a choice. I do like it, but I’ve kind of had to learn to like it.

What’s your favorite summer beach read?
I am reading Joan Didion’s Year of Magical Thinking right now. I saw the play a few months ago and I loved it and now I’m really enjoying it.

What’s your summer beauty regime like?
It’s really not very in-depth at all. I have two small children so I sort of can barely manage to get myself dressed and looking decent before I walk out the door usually.

What do you do to stay in shape?
I do yoga up here. I do yoga all the time, but especially out here.

What type of things do you and your husband (Ed Burns) to together for fun?
Well, we do a lot of stuff with our kids, and that’s kind of our life right now. We do the beach. We live really close to the beach so we do that pretty much every day. We like to play tennis that’s sort of a thing we do together. We’re not very good , but we try. That’s probably it for the summer.

How do you and Ed make your marriage work in the spotlight?
Well, we don’t live in Hollywood, and we never go there. We don’t go there together ever. When he works, he always works in New York. We take turns working so that we can be there for our kids if the other one can’t be. And I think that’s our key so far. We’ve only been  four years married… Talk to me in ten.

Is your husband here today?
He’s not. He’s in California. And he never comes here anyway… He definitely is like you girls have a good time.
