February was Heart Month, and as the founding sponsor of the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s The Heart Truth™ campaign, Becel is inspiring women to take care of their hearts with The Heart Truth Signature Scarf series – a collection of three exclusive scarves that symbolize support for heart health awareness among women across Canada. Every scarf incorporates The Red Dress™ into each design – the official symbol of The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Heart Truth™ Campaign – representing courage, passion and heartfelt change for women across the country.
To support this initiative, Becel is launching the Love Your Heart Facebook fan page at www.facebook.com/loveyourheart. For every fan, Becel will donate $1 to the Heart & Stroke Foundation – up to $25,000.

I know I don’t, but if you have $15,000 lying around idly and if you are a fashion lover, then this event might be for you! On April 13th, Oscar de la Renta will be present at a Suzanne Rogers’ fundraiser forchildrens’ charities! Oscar’s personal story is very inspirational, and he genuinely seems to care about helping children, as he helped build Casa Del Niño- a school and day-care centre in the Dominican Republic (his native land), which helps the impoverished children of La Romana. I watched Oscar on the View the other day (I was sick and there was nothing else on), and he really is a charismatic and engaging speaker. It would be amazing to hear him speak live, and to see his designs on the runway, of course!
And as for the $15,000 price tag, to be fair, the price is for a table of 10, which ends up costing “only” $1,500 per person. Still steep for most of us, but for the lucky few that can afford it, more power to you! Proceeds from the evening will go to benefit “HealthyKids International”.
You can request a table here!

Lunch hour browsing at the local Forever 21 had led to an amazing discovery! Further proof of The Hilton family’s “fountain of talent”. These tees were designed by Paris and Nicky, and wouldn’t you just pay thousands of dollars for each one? I mean, I am sure Van Gogh and Da Vinci would cry sweet tears of joy had they ever been able to witness one of these…works of art!
Couldn’t they ask people that actually matter to design these charity tees? Someone with actual talent? Instead, F21 people decided to shoot the charity in the leg. Who wants to be associated with Paris Hilton, or wear her toddler-doodled designs? Though the sad, sad thing is…someone somewhere will want to spend money on this crap, because good taste is dead. Happy 2010!

December 1st is World AIDS Day. Social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook are supporting the cause by literally going red for one day. You can also show your support by turning your tweets red, wearing a red ribbon, or by purchasing this Stella McCartney for Gap (Product) RED t-shirt. Half the profits will go directly to the global fund to fight AIDS…and the tee is all kinds of cute!

Sorry for being MIA for the last couple of days. Yesterday was Remembrance day here in Canada, so I enjoyed a very nice day off, free of blogging, work, or excessive Internet browsing. Instead, I went to see The Toxic Avenger last night, courtesy of le boyfriend. Still giggling about the barbershop scene. Ahh, you had to be there! Louise Pitre (in roles of Mayor, Nun, and Ma) and Daren A. Herbert (in roles of Black Dude, and a bunch of random characters – my fave was Lamas) were fantastic! I thought that the show wasn’t as good as The Evil Dead: The Musical, but it was funny and fun in its own way. If you live in Toronto, go see it while it’s still running!
But enough blabbing, the main reason for this post is explained in the photo above. Tiffany & Co designed a special Yorkdale Charm Bracelet, which will be sold for $295 at Yorkdale Mall. And the great part is that proceeds from sale will go to SickKids Foundation! Charming idea, no? Quantities are limited, so if you want to do some good, while getting some timeless bling, make sure to check it out at Yorkdale, beginning 9am on November 19th! After all, tis the season of giving!
