DKNY is doing a little charity work. No, the label isn't stylishly dressing starving bloggers (although, Donna? That would be a good one!) -- instead, they are making over 15 food distribution vans for City Harvest.

Hey, a makeover is a makeover, and we loooove a makeover (and a good cause).

You know Felix Ray from Sex in the City, and you've seen Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton carrying bags with the signature bow.

Usually you have to go to Kitson, Henri Bendel, or Saks and pay $200 or more for a Felix Ray bag. But you can pick up this pretty Small Metal Mesh Bow clutch for a mere $36 at the "Rolls Royce of all garage sales."

It gets better! The proceeds go to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. So you're not shopping, you're donating!

This wonderous sale, dubbed Super Saturday 11 will be held in Walter Mill, NY on Saturday, July 26th. If you're not local to the area, you're still in luck, because they're partnering with QVC and QVC.com to make this bag, as well as select items from over 200 designers, available to the rest of us.

The other designers include Donna Karan, Carolina Herrera, Michael Kors, and Calvin Klein. At QVC and QVC.com you'll find hot designers like ADAM Adam Lippes, alice+olivia, and Theory.

Got your heart set on that Felix Ray bag? Here's a shopping tip: the item # on QVC is: #S4061. Happy donating!

There are a lot of things that make us go "huh?" about Hillary Clinton. Like the fact that she stood by her cheating husband, or that she got in bed (metaphorically speaking!) with drug companies after previously espousing the ideal of an egalitarian health care system. Or why so many people have voted for her so far... stuff like that.

What we couldn't care less about is how she wears her hair, or what clothes she puts on her body -- we think female politicians should get the same treatment as men, and how often do we pick on John McCain' suits? (Snooze...)

Elle magazine has teamed up with eco-crusader Laurie David to auction off some Sigg aluminum water bottles decorated by some of fashion's elite designers. Diane von Furstenberg, Kenneth Cole, Stella McCartney and others have decked out each bottle with their own unique doodles and slogans. They even allowed Donna Karan to participate, even though she hates bunnies.

I don't know what they used to apply their designs, hopefully something that doesn't smear -- since I imagine these things will garner some pretty high prices. The auction is being launched in conjunction with Elle's 3rd annual Green Issue, and the proceeds will go to David's stopglobalwarming.org -- bidding starts on April 17.

Once again, anti-fur coalition forces have decided to set their sights on the home of fashion empress Donna Karan. This time, a group called the Paint Panthers decided that it would be a good idea to spray paint some messages to the designer on the road leading up to her house in the Hamptons. One message read "Bunny Butcher" in hot pink scrawl with an arrow pointing towards DK's house. Another featured a carton bunny and the message "I don't want to be a handbag."

Back in September, I reported that Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz started his own clothing line, Clandestine Industries. After looking through the collection, I decided to try and ignore it, allowing it to stew in its own little corner of crappiness and eventually fizzle out. Unfortunately, the corner seems to have grown and even infiltrated other designers' worlds. Brace yourselves...

Wentz and DKNY have just struck up a deal for a new line of junior sportswear to be released in time for the back-to-school rush.

No! No! Do not want! If my younger sister (a member of the target demographic) gets anywhere near the line, I will set fire to her.

I will.

Fashion designer Giorgio Armani is just one of the celebs who has created a unique coffee mug to raise money as part of the 21st Century Leaders. The 21CL label is a charity artwork project, which raises money for a variety causes. Mugs by Donna Karan, Armani, Claudia Schiffer, David Bowie and others raise money for Trade plus Aid. Save the Children and other important charities. There are also wristbands, T-shirts and other products available. The goal is to raise a minimum of $3 million over three years. Armani's mug, shown here, is perhaps the sleekest of the bunch depicting the Mandarin character for "hope" against a celadon background. The mugs sells for £9.99 and will be followed by a line of decorative plates sometime next year.
