Celebrities, Noble Peace Prize Winners and Athletes alike have all joined together to support and promote the Whatever It Takes charity artwork program. The charity ethically produces merchandise with artwork that has been created by these leaders, and the profits go towards different causes chosen by each leader. These stars include John Travolta, Paul and Heather McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Snoop Dogg and Heidi Klum; just to name a few.

Anything from designer mugs to bed linen to jewelry to t-shirts and tote bags (and much more) is featured with celebrity artwork and is being sold to raise awareness for many great causes. For licensing purposes, Whatever It Takes has also joined together with companies like Vans and Lee Jeans in hopes to raise $3 million over the next three years. Check out the website at www.whateverittakes.org for more information and to see what causes are specifically affiliated with this wonderful program and how you can help.

The styles of Audrey Hepburn have hugely impacted the fashion world. Today, AprilMarin revisits her style and pays homage in their collection with the appropriately named Audrey Dress. It’s high neckline and fitted bodice portray a modern twist on the fashionista’s chic style and mimics the simple silhouettes that Hepburn often displayed. The Audrey Dress by AprilMarin is a beautiful piece that has truly and properly modernized the amazing fashions that the actress wore. AprilMarin has updated the old classics in their collection, and focus on similar simple shapes in their entire line.

The Holly Double Breasted Jacket is AprilMarin’s modern take on the classic riding jacket. It features two double-breasted buttons, comfort pockets and slightly flared sleeves with button accents. This jacket is adorable and stylish, and works perfect with any look. Wear it with jeans and boots for a wearable rider’s look, over a casual dress, or pair it with a nice pair of pants for a dressier fashion.

I know summer is practically over, but I just made discovered and HAD to inform those who did not know about the Kiniki Swimsuit Line.  For those who haven’t already heard, a British company has made a “tan through swimwear” collection.  Eighty percent of the suns rays are able to penetrate the suits’ fabric, leaving you with much less severe tan lines.  But beware, when wearing a suit with this type of concept; make sure you still use sunscreen, especially on those parts that are now being “exposed” to the sun, even though they are covered.

They offer several different types of styles and colors, and even a quite extent men’s line so that you can match your man.  Check them out at Kiniki.com, a bunch of styles are now on sale!

We want the dirt: the good, the bad, and the ugly.  If you have experienced this “tan-though” swimsuit-breakthrough, let us know how it went!
