Not only has Quiksilver created some cute eco-friendly clothes, they benefit an environmental initiative. The brand has teamed up with E.P.I.C., Everyday People Initiating Change, to support the nonprofit's Ripple Project. The Ripple Project helps eliminate the problematic lack of access to clean water in impoverished nations.
Quiksilver is becoming a force with its reintroduced women's line and a handbag collection. These products, including tees, dresses, and jackets, are made from eco-conscious materials such as organic cotton, bamboo, tencel, soy, and linen. Quiksilver will donate three percent of all sales of its women’s eco-friendly apparel to E.P.I.C. It should be easy to help support the cause — prices range from $44 to $148. Items can be bought online and in stores. Quite the epic endeavor.

New York-based designer Thuy has launched an e-commerce site. Congratulations! Now, not only will you be able to see his latest collections, but you'll also be able to shop them immediately. Instant gratification, I like it. Even better news, Thuy is currently holding a Fall '08 sample sale. Prices are still steep but it's worth a peek.
Remember back in the day when you wore pendants inscribed with your initials or best friend's name? Take that image in your head, fast forward to the present, and look at what designer, Limor Ratzabi Senker, has come up with.
Her jewelry line, dubbed Love Rocks NY, is all about taking what's near and dear to your heart to the next level of decadence. At first glance, her jewels might look simple, but dig deeper. Her fine collection is made out of 14k gold, platinum, and ethically sourced diamonds. Did you notice the sheen on all of her goods? That's from the special diamond dust finish. All handmade to precision. Alas, quality work comes at a high price. Her adornments range from $150 to $3,000, but isn't it all worth it?
While last night's episode of Gossip Girl was filled with Snowflake Ball fashions, I chose to feature a more attainable ensemble. Serena van der Woodsen opted to make her boy toy swoon with an Autumn-friendly ensemble. Staying warm and stylish, the Queen Bee wore J Brand skinny jeans, a Diane Von Furstenberg printed top, and Cesare Paciotti boots. A sumptuous leather Valentino jacket and White and Warren cashmere scarf completes her cozy chic outfit. Oh, I can't forget her gray Celine bag — I die.
Jenna Dewan walked down the street in Beverly Hills looking extremely chic and poised. Her structured white blazer framed her body perfectly, and paired well over her draped fringe Haute Hippie halter which she wore with denim leggings and over-the-knee brown boots.
