Last week, I spied the cutest and brightest hot pink bag on the floor of my co-worker’s office. Instantly smitten with the item, I made a note to later ask her about it. In true KB fashion though, I ended up forgetting about the bag until I stumbled across this tweet: Could it be? Did they have the scoop on my bag obsession? I clicked the link and VOILA…It was THE bag! It turns out [...]
I’ve always had a sweet spot for Rachel Roy. In fact, she’s my NYC socialite alter-ego. But, Ms. Roy is more than just a staple on the NYC social scene. She’s a mother, designer, businesswoman, and (my favorite) a philanthropist. She’s been involved with many causes, including OrphanAid and charity: water. And, she recently teamed up with Macy’s Heart of Haiti program. In September, she traveled to Haiti with Macy’s CEO Terry Lundgren and Martha [...]

FACT: One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. While October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, this is something that we need to be talking about year-round. Avon is an avid supporter of organizations and programs that not only support breast cancer research but also those that work to prevent violence against women. As part of their efforts, they have created a special line of “Empowerment” products which donate 100% [...]
My friend, Jalaine, sent me a link to a new site that promises to be a bit dangerous for those of you with online shopping addictions. The site, Community Collection, is essentially like “Gilt Groupe for Good.” Individuals shop curated collections and 20% of each purchase benefits a charity selected by the respective designer. You can shop handbags from Claire Vivier, jewelry from Alexis Bittar, Alexander Wang sunglasses, or cozy sweaters from Cut25. There are [...]
Earlier this week, JustJared.com shared pictures of Kate Hudson on a stroll with her new bundle of joy. Kate looks fresh-faced and beautiful as always, but what caught my eye was her stroller. Thanks to a tweet from @joinred, I learned that it is a Bugaboo Missoni stroller and it benefits (RED), the global campaign that’s raising awareness and funds for the Global Fund to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. A girlfriend of mine SWEARS [...]
Are these shirts awesome?! Bessie (@fabdogooder) tweeted a link to the shirts this morning and it was instant love. You guys know that I’m on this inspirational, she-ro kick lately and these shirts are the perfect complement to my new outlook on life.

The women create beautiful home decor (like these cute wine bags) and accessories which can be purchased at retailers such as Anthropologie, ShopBop.com, [...]
I’m sure that you all have noticed that I’ve been missing in action lately. Between work and gearing up for Red Pump’s March events, I’ve had to live under a rock (literally). But, with last week’s fashion show officially wrapped, I’m back! If you missed our Second Annual “Rock the Red” Fashion Show, you definitely missed out on some GREAT fashion including the topic of today’s post. Eidia Lush, a custom shoe company here in [...]
Designer Marc Jacob has teamed up with Playboy to create a line of cute and charitable tees benefiting Designers Against AIDS. The tees poke fun of the iconic bunnies a way that only Marc Jacobs can. I love them and think that they can be worn with so many different items (jeans, shorts, etc). The three designs retail for $35 each, with 100% of the proceeds going to benefit the charity. The shirts can be [...]
