Lauren Bush launched her Feed 1 bag at Harrods in London. The purchase of the bag feeds one child in need for one school year. Getting the bag sold in Harrods is pretty big, especially since the Anya Hindmarch I’m Not A Plastic Bag has reined supreme in London this past year.

With an estimated 400 million hungry children worldwide, Lauren is looking to sell a lot of bags. These would make excellent holiday gifts by the way. The money goes to a more-than-worthy cause and you get a great-looking re-usable bag - perfect for toting groceries.


The World Food Programme Feed Bag costs $59.95 at amazon.com.

Mac spokespeople, Dita Von Teese and Eve were on hand in New York City to help celebrate $100,000,000 Raised for the Mac AIDS Fund. So that’s where Dita gets her signature red lipstick…

KT Tunstall was in London, England last week, promoting her new single, “Hold On.” You might remember KT’s last hit single, “Suddenly I See” from the opening sequence of The Devil Wears Prada. KT has always had a really fun style. Her cool-without-trying look is a great combination of femininity and rock and roll. The Scottish songstress’ sophomore CD, Drastic Fantastic, drops on September 18th. Anxious for more than KT’s album? We’ve replicated her outfit with finds at shopbop.com.

Let’s break down the outfit: the sweater’s puff sleeve is very similar to KT’s — the look is girly, but the gray color keeps it casual. The jeans are a lot more distressed, but it’s okay since we paired it with a sweater with less detail than Miss Tunstall’s. And we’re loving these Frye boots, perfect for fall weather and under $200. Obviously, they haven’t been broken in, but a few months of wear will give them the slouchy comfort KT’s have.

FYI: Did you know KT is an environmental activist? According to her website, her tour buses run on bio-fuel, she loves eco-fashion and doesn’t own a car!

Bindi Irwin walked the runway (snake in hand) in Las Vegas last Wednesday to introduce her Bindi Wear International fashion line. Unlike Jessica Simpson, the Croc Hunter’s daughter is taking a stand for animal rights in the fashion industry and has been quoted as saying, “If we keep making them into boots, bags and belts what are we going to be left with?”

Bindi’s line of tees, shorts and dresses for kids age newborn to 10, carries environmental messages and tags made from recycled cardboard. Additionally, 100% of profits will fund conservation programs at Australia Zoo!
