As most people are well-aware, HIV has been an epidemic affecting Africa for quite some time now. With over 260,000 babies born with HIV last year alone, the transmission rate from mother to child during childbirth is largely at fault. Physicians have discovered that with only one pill a day taken by the mother during pregnancy, the child has a 98% chance of being born HIV-free.
John Megrue, of Apax Partners, reached out to Anna Wintour and Diane von Furstenburg to bring Born Free to life. Born Free is a new non-profit that plans to bring funding to African countries to provide women with the medicine they need to help prevent the spread of HIV during pregnancy. What makes this charity different than others is that there is already a solution to the epidemic, therefore this issue can be drastically controlled through raising funds. Born Free is a collaboration of 22 fashion designers to create a collection of mother-daughter apparel produced at a cost-efficient rate to raise money for the cause. The MAC Aids fund plans to match up to $500,000 in proceeds. Designers such as Prada, Versace, Marni, Stella McCartney, Victoria Beckham, among others have contributed.
The Born Free collection is now available on Shopbop. Click here to see the full collection and take a look of some of the pieces below. Go ahead, start shopping! (Did I mention everything is under $245?)

Statement tees are always a favorite of mine for casual days, which is why I’m loving these designer parody tees. There’s something unexpectedly chic about these fun twists on well-known fashion logos. So tell me, which is your favorite: Hermes, Balmain, Cartier, Celine, or YSL?

I bet you never thought you would see the day when Birkenstocks would become trendy again. Though these may not be the prettiest shoes, designers have taken a bold twist of the ever-so-vegan sandal. Love them or hate them, I have to say I’ve been getting a lot of wear out of mine recently (Thanks mom!). Go on, give them a try. Your feet will thank you later.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”
Now that Thanksgiving has passed and our bellies are full, it’s time to start trimming the tree, hanging wreaths, sipping eggnog… and writing that annual Dear Santa letter! With so many fabulous items in all the stores, it’s important to start working on your list sooner than later! Here are a few items that I’m hoping to see under my sparkly Christmas tree this season:
Glasses / Hermes Bangle / Earrings / Desk Diary / Nightie / Bag / Bracelet / Ring

If you haven’t heard the tragic news yet, Barneys New York in NorthPark announced yesterday it will be closing its doors in April 2013. The good news is, we have a solid 6 months of shopping until closing day (and hopefully in April we will get some great items on sale!). Maybe this is the perfect excuse to get the Celine bag I’ve been eyeing all season!
