iPhone Defender Series Strength Case from OtterBox

First to recommend

7 people recommended this item

Description

After you've invested in an iPhone, a logical next step is to protect it. Why not go with a protective case with meaning? Not only is Otterbox's bright pink case extremely cute and reliable (we're talking 3 layers of protection for your gadget), 10% of every purchase will go to support the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. Now that's pretty in pink.

Better Bacon - Green Banana Tee

First to recommend

5 people recommended this item

Description

This tee is definitely a conversation piece! Luis "Pee-Wee" Fernandez, part of Better Bacon, drew this out of shape banana, inspired by the Velvet Underground CD cover. Go bananas!

Better Bacon shirts are terrific - everyone should own at least one. Not only are these the softest, best-cut T-shirts I have found in awhile, but the designers are all developmentally disabled - and totally talented. With each shirt comes a note from the artist, along with their picture and bio. Support a good cause and rock one of these rockin' tees.

Better Bacon - White Michael Jackson Tee

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

I'd like to introduce you to designer Tanesa Tarvin. Her awesome tees are being sold at LA's hottest boutique, Kitson! I love the Michael Jackson top - and this T-shirt is SO soft!

Tanesa is part of Better Bacon - an initiative that allows developmentally disabled people to express themselves through various creative outlets. And of course, having your fashion line in Kitson isn't a bad perk.

Each piece comes with a photo/bio and note from the designer. Tenesa drew Michael Jackson because he's her favorite singer. She knows he's been through a lot, but she hopes her designs will remind him of "how he used to be." Rock on, Tenesa.

Better Bacon - Men's Turquoise Ghost Tee

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

Boo! This frighteningly awesome tee is designed by rockstar T-shirt designer Luis “Pee-Wee” Fernandez. In super-soft cotton with shiny silver metallic ghosts, this is a top any guy will turn to day after day.

Have you heard about Better Bacon? It's a community of developmentally disabled artists who have banded together to share their creations with the world. Each top comes with a photo and note from the artist him or herself - just wait til you meet Pee-Wee!

Available at LA's very hip boutique Kitson - and of course online!

Project Have Hope Long, Beaded Necklace

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

Sometimes we purchase things for charity out of the goodness of heart. Sometimes we are so lucky to receive a beautiful gift in exchange for our donation that will remind us of the people we helped each time we wear it. Such is the case for this long beaded necklace from Project Have Hope.

This jewelry is handmade from recycled paper by women in the Acholi Quarter in Uganda. This is a war-torn land and the community is struggling to get by. Every purchase makes a difference, so stock up on these jewels for your spring and summer wardrobe - they also make great gifts!

Charity Water Bracelet - Saks Fifth Avenue

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

One $5 Charity Water Bracelet can provide clean water to one person in need for up to 5 years - as the funds help build fresh water wells. You can't buy much for $5 these days, and this is about as fine of a purchase as I can imagine.

2 people recommended this item

Description

I kind of worship Tara Subkoff - she acts, designs (launched Imitation of Christ) - all-around fabulous. She designed this cute little quilted bag for Bebe and is even donating a portion of the proceeds to Millennium Promise, a non-profit that aims to improve lives in Africa.
