Marie Claire magazine has written an article about 15 designers who are not only top designers, but contribute and support causes. Ralph Lauren’s charity of choice is breast cancer and it is called The Pink Pony Fund and the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention. The Pink Pony Campaign represents the effort to bring adequate care to lower income communities. It is Lauren’s hope that women get screenings that help detect cancer earlier. Donatella Versace runs the Versace One Foundation which helped victims of the 2007 earthquake in China. Kenneth Cole’s charity is AmfAR which was developed to raise funds for Aid/HIV research and destigmatize the illness. Oscar de La Renta runs New Yorkers for Children which believes every child needs an education and the support of a family. Designers have become more well known for more than just the runway.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
As fall is catching up with us, it would be a wise investment to buy yourself a good, strong umbrella. Since we want to be as fashionable as possible all the time (of course!), Bubble Umbrellas are the cutest and most popular umbrella style out there right now. They can be found anywhere from Target and Urban Outfitters, to H&M and everyday drugstores, in a variety of styles, colors and patterns. Go out and get your Bubble Umbrella before the rain gets to you first!
In the 80′s, leg warmers were a prominent style seen on almost everyone, and this winter we will see this trend making a comeback, only with a twist. Arm warmers will be everywhere! They are the perfect for the days you want to wear short-sleeves under your jacket, and you need something to keep you lower arms and hands warm. You can get them in various colors and switch around depending on your style of the day!
When hitting the clubs this winter the perfect shoe is fabulously metallic. Actually your whole outfit should be shiny and futuristic!
ATTENTION all Transformers fans, listen up! The third movie is coming out, sooner then many had guessed, with the lovely Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf. The premier was originally planned for 2012, but it has now been announced that it will instead hit theaters in July 2011. The sooner the better I think 
Yes I think it just might be! It is time to invest in a warm fall/winter jacket or coat as the weather is beginning to drop lower and lower. These are from my favorite stores Forever21 and Urban Outfitters.
AMC’s Mad Men is known for it’s sexy 1960′s fashion, but today it isn’t the ladies that are getting all the attention….
If all women want to be with leading man Don Draper, all men want to dress like him!
The plaid shirts and fly-fishing fedora worn by the fathers during the eclipse in last Sunday’s episode “Souvenir”? You can pick them now in any Urban Outfitters, and many hipsters are doing just that. Another (cheep) option? Steal them from your grandfather’s closet.
The obsession-worthy sunglasses (above) he sported in 2 episodes now? They look like Tom Burke, but the company claiming credit — Randolph Engineering — wasn’t founded till 1972 (not cool on the era continuity, but I guess you can’t have eveerything…).
This season’s military trend has us standing at attention!
The hot new Rag & Bone Napoleon Coat has especially caught our eye…. In true conqueror form, it’s stunningly made with a double-breasted front, shoulder epaulettes and a removable bottom.
Even though it’s still an up and coming brand, Rag & Bone made a serious impact on fall’s militial uprising* with their Sgt. Pepper-esque jacket. Stylistas like Rachel Zoe are saying, “it’s the perfect way to provide a tailored, yet feminine polish to any ensemble. Pair one over a thin sweater, black leggings and flat boots.” You’ve been enlisted in the war for fabulous fashion! HUA!
*Other favorites? D&G, Twenty8Twelve and Haider Ackerman.
Availability: Rag & Bone Napoleon Coat, ($695).
Since it is getting colder every day and fall is upon us, I checked out some boot styles for the season. I picked out a few pairs that I’m a little crazy about These are from Forever21 and UrbanOutfitters. Tell us what boots YOU are wearing this season to keep your little tootsies warm!
