TOMS Sets A Holiday Goal

We will be candid here and say that when we watched this video we literally started crying--we are not only turning into our mothers but we also buying one pair of TOMS for every person in our family this year.

We will be candid here and say that when we watched this video we literally started crying--we are not only turning into our mothers but we also buying one pair of TOMS for every person in our family this year. Even Dad. The TOMS goal is simple; sell 30,000 pairs of shoes, give 30,000 pairs of shoes and we can't help but get teary-eyed at just how much of an impact fifty dollars can make. Not only does your purchase matter very much to the world but the pair of shoes you get in return, well, we can put our fashion stamp on quite easily. Christmas shopping, done.

Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection To Benefit UNICEF

When you purchase an item from the Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection, 25% of the sale will go directly to the UNICEF program that supports orphans and children living with HIV and AIDS in Africa.

When you purchase an item from the Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection, 25% of the sale will go directly to the UNICEF program that supports orphans and children living with HIV and AIDS in Africa. We're happy to see that so many companies are giving generously this season, despite losses due to the weak economy. Singer Rihanna was chosen as the spokeswoman for the campaign as her energetic personality, youthful attitude, and personal style embody the right spirit for this collection. Last night, in New York, an event was held to celebrate the launch of the collection. To see a photo gallery of the event, click here.

From lip gloss to social commentary, our Network Partners have explored every topic in the blogosphere today--

A Mom In Red High Heels clued us into a sweet holiday promotion to help those in need. Write a letter to Santa and Macy's donates one dollar to the Make A Wish Foundation. 

The Daily Obsession goes through a girl's gloss options and gives us the low down on a cosmetic brand with everything to offer. It's all about the pigment ratio, ladies. 

A sweet little post that we can most definitely relate to...Little Molly Cake makes a fashion wish list and hopes for warmer weather. 

Dreamecho writes a thoughtful meditation on the meaning of 'stiletto' and the Chanel gun-heeled shoes that make a good example for the discussion.

This week eLuxury will donate 5% of their online sales to cancer research with the entry of this discount code. At checkout, enter 5rfh and the money will be donated to Run For Her--an organization that helps raise awareness about ovarian cancer and the research efforts to discover a cure. Above, we picked out five items, all around $200, that we recommend. Just because you're on a budget doesn't mean you can't give back and these items, whether worn as an outfit, or individually, are the perfect way to do both.

Hollywood icon and passionate philanthropist Paul Newman sadly passed away on Friday. He is a role model for anyone inspired by giving, and he used his fame and good taste to build his successful nonprofit, the Newman's Own Foundation. He was involved in every aspect of the business, from writing the legends on the back of his salad dressing bottles to hanging out with the kids at Hole in the Wall Camps. Here is Paul talking about his vision for the common good and how he came up with his concept for a food-based nonprofit.

Adam Lippes Loves Dogs

He is such a catch.
by coutorture

He is such a catch. Designer Adam Lippes will host a dog adoption party in the Meatpacking District this weekend. The event, this Friday, will be co-hosted by the ASPCA and the festivities will continue through the weekend. If you're in New York, check out the windows of the Adam shop on Hudson street for the wittle doggies Adam loves, up for adoption. It's a nice reminder that fashion isn't just champagne toasting, panic attacks, and a constant dialogue about the recession. The all-American designer, with experience at Ralph Lauren and Oscar de la Renta, is just the guy to remind us of that fact.


What: Adam Loves Dogs
When: April 4-6th 2008
Where: 678 Hudson Street, NY, NY


Be sure to check out our exclusive coverage of the Fall 08 Adam Lippes fashion show including a backstage interview with the designer.
