Last year, I blogged about the supercute pieces in Nicole Miller’s collection which supported Indego Africa, a social enterprise that empowers and provides access to job skills and trade programs to African women. I randomly found myself on their site early this AM and saw a cute set of textured bangles that are now on sale for $20. Available in sets of three, each bangle is wrapped with African fabric in beautiful colors and patterns. [...]
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% [...]
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. From the OloriSWANK.com site: Whether it be Oprah, Michelle Obama, Khloe Kardashian, Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, the local nurse, or your middle school teacher, we are surrounded by women making celebrated and uncelebrated [...]
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 [...]
Paper cuts are one of the most frustrating things to happen to mankind. But, I would run my fingers through 100 sheets of loose-leaf paper just to rock a Cynthia Rowley-designed Band-Aid. The designer has brought her bold and lively designs to the staid worl of first-aid products and I think it’s one of the coolest collaborations. Twenty assorted bandages are housed in metal tins ($10) and one dollar from the sale of each tin [...]
Kenneth Cole has never been shy about wearing his heart (via various causes) across his chest…And, he wants you to do the same! When you stop by the brand’s Facebook page, check out the custom t-shirt store where you can mix and match colors and slogan to create the perfect shirt for you. The shirts retail for $34.95 and 100% of proceeds benefit KC’s Awearness Foundation, which funds various charitable causes across the country including [...]
