Who said shopping could not be beneficial? The emergence of many "cause based" clothing companies have become mainstream in the recent few years, with brands like Toms and their now global campaign charity movement One for One has made giving back not only cool, but fashionable. The mission behind the One for One  organization, is for each pair of Toms shoes sold a pair of shoes will be donated to a Child in need, and the idea has went viral. Today Toms has donated over 10 MILLION pairs of shoes worldwide. The giving has evolved, not only do they give shoes, but now Toms also donate glasses to children in need. To get the full scope of the good things going on at Toms check out the link here to go to their website. Speaking of glasses check out Warby Parker and their latest winter collection of vintage frames. They also follow the same mindset of "buy one, give one" their mission at WP is simple. "Do Good". The Warby Parker  approach is a bit different from the above mentioned company Toms, because their platform actually gives low income entrepreneurs in developing countries the skills to start their own business of selling eye-wear. So just from purchasing a pair of these vintage, modern, and sophisticated specs could actually grant an individual their livelihood and the ability to gift someone the pleasure of vision..isn't that a sight to see. The feel good approach of consumerism doesn't stop there with the inclusion of 1:Face Charity Watch  a cause based watch company. The mission behind the 1:Face brand is many. Your purchase of one of their color-coded cause watches can be beneficial to many social problems such as: Water, Hunger, AIDS, Cancer, Environment, Breast Cancer, and Education. To check out these sleek, modern and vibrant watches go to 1:Face Charity Watch website in this link shown here to get the rundown on the countdown to help save the world one watch at a time. So be a cheerful giver this holiday season by truly giving a gift that keeps on giving world wide.

Fall/Winter Staples: The Oversized Coat

Ok, now that most of us have came down from our sugar rush and  post Halloween hangovers . Lets get back to business.  Here are a few of this season's most buzzworthy Fall/Winter 2013 must have... none other than the coveted OVERSIZED COAT. From inspirations including military styles, playful colors , mixed-media textures, and asymmetrical/architectural designs these are some of the trends that every fashionista must have. The Trench Coat has always been a go to for outerwear.

Erin M. Riley Provacative Weaving, Art Basel Miami 2013 #Culture

Erin M. Riley Tapestry Collection of Erin M. Riley Tapestries Erin M. Riley is a Philadelphia based Tapestry artist. She has been in the spotlight here lately due to her innovative approach, to what is often considered "boring", and outdated skill of the past knitting. Yes the images that you are looking at are hand loomed one of a kind masterpieces by the 28 year old artist. These tapestries are thought provoking and flat out sexy. They bring the viewer in and make them feel almost like they are doing something they shouldn't be doing. Very risque so to speak. From images of the current trend of "selfies" but not the common selfie that you would post to your social media portal of your choice, oh no. We are talking after hours, one too many drinks, "Wyd stranger ;p"? at 1:30 am on a Saturday night selfie. The ones that bear it all. From fully depicted images of the female anatomy to obscene drug use, and binge drinking . These modern wor...
