If you're GOING STREAKING this summer...or just spending some time at the beach, Will Ferrell wants to be on you.

His new sunscreen comes in two keepsake bottles: "Sexy Hot Tan" or "Sun Stroke". Hard to choose, right?

The good news is that a portion of the proceeds goes to Cancer for College, an organization that provides scholarships to cancer survivors.

The SPF 30 sunscreens are currently available for $12 each at Fred Flare. There's limited availability so get yours now!

Emma Watson Set to Design Teen Clothing Line

Emma Watson's one busy girl! She quickly traded in her wand and cape for designer dresses and stilettos.

First, the "Harry Potter" star attended a private Rodarte dinner, looking extremely cutting edge.

Then, shortly after, the actress officially reached fashion icon status when she became the new face of Burberry.

Now, we hear, via Britain's "News of the World," that Watson is slated to design her own clothing line for teens.

No details, sketches or images have been released, but apparently the 19-year-old actress plans to donate proceeds from the sales of the line to UNICEF. Chic and charitable -- she's amazing!

And a source told the paper that "she's been getting advice from her fashion designer pals like Karl Lagerfeld."
(Not a bad way to break into the biz.)

We'll give you the deets as soon as we have 'em. Are you as curious as we are?

The Uniform Project - One Girl, One Dress, One Year

Could you wear one dress for an entire year? Day 48 of The Uniform Project. Photo courtesy of theuniformproject.com

For us fashion types, the idea of wearing one dress even twice in one week can be daunting. Yet, Sheena Matheiken has vowed to wear one dress for an entire year.

As the founder of The Uniform Project, Matheiken will wear one dress for one year all in the name of charity and sustainable fashion.

For the "uniform" part of the project, Matheiken drew inspiration from the school uniforms of her childhood in India -- they served as a blank slate for creativity.

Donations raised by this year-long project will benefit the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots charity based in Mumbai, whose contributions go to fund uniforms and other school expenses for children in the slums of India.

Ah, love. It's arguably the most inspiring concept in the arts.

Take music for instance. Just think of all the songs with the word "Love" in the title: "Love Me Tender," "The Lovecats," "Love in an Elevator," well, you get the point.

But it's also a major influence in jewelry. Um, heard of Cartier's Love Collection? Thought so.

Love Charity Ambassador Eva Mendes was on hand at the Cartier Mansion in NYC to announce the new Cartier Love Charity bracelet benefiting The Art of Elysium, a non-profit organization that encourages musicians, artists and actors to volunteer their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions.

The one-of-a-kind fashions are by the following designers, from left to right, Alexander Wang, Ann Demeulemeester, Rodarte, Bottega Veneta, Stella McCartney, Versace and Derek Lam. As of today, each item is available on eBay for a starting bid of 99 cents.

Top Designers Get Crafty for Charity

Posted Apr 23rd 2009 at 2:30PM by Annie Scott

Filed under: Daily Obsession


Last night Dita von Teese and Debi Mazar co-hosted a fete for the Los Angeles boutique The Way We Wore in honor of the Earth Day-conscious "Out of the Ordinary" collection of reworked vintage garments. Designers such as Magda Berliner, Jeremy Scott (check out the before and after pics of his creation above!), and Current/Elliot participated in the initiative in which recycled clothing and jewelry were transformed into modern pieces. If you're not living on the West Coast, don't fret, the items are available to bid on through May 2nd on eBay. Proving that not all fashion is frivolous, the proceeds of the sale will benefit carbon footprint reducing organizations such as Future Fashion and Earthpledge.

Posted Feb 24th 2009 at 2:30PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Christina Ricci was one of several A-list actresses to take part in a photoshoot benefitting the Montblanc "Signature for Good" campaign, an initiative focusing on ending illiteracy. Once it's been going on for a year, Montblanc will present a check to UNICEF for at least $1.5 million.



We had a chance to chat with Christina, and once we got over just how nice she was (after we thanked her for chatting with us, she thanked us right back!), we talked about her favorite books, her sense of style, and why she thinks Juliet is a hipster.

Then they go do something like this -- and totally redeem themselves. This $8,250 skateboard is part of the "Stephen Sprouse Collection" and it comes with a classic LV embossed case. That's what ... about $200 per kickflip?

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Paris HiltonYou might think Paris Hilton is a spoiled little rich girl. And probably, you'd be right. Her 20 Pearls of Wisdom in Esquire pretty much proves it. However, while she might only wear those designer dresses once, it's not like she's wasteful.
