Fashionable Ado(red) Teddy Bear

Nothing particular in mind when we decided to show you this Ado(RED) Bear except that it’s a really cute teddy bear. We found it yesterday and flashed but we had no idea on how to bring it to you. Just kidding, so here it is plain simple: This lovely Gap Ado(red) Bear it’s just what we needed for the Holidays. It’s pretty enough to stick around even after Christmas and it serves a good cause: 50 percent of the sales of this $100 Gap RED Heartwork bear will be donated to the Global Fund for AIDS.

Today’s Christmas Present not only looks good, but also does good too! The Snowflake Tag Charm from Tiffany and Co will raise 25 percent of the proceeds from the New York metropolitan area sales to The United Nations Children’s Fund. The $100 Snowflake is made of sterling silver and can be easily attached to necklaces or bracelets.

For the active women that we are, a bigger clutch was in order: the Stella McCartney Patchwork Clutch is the perfectly retro clutch for us.

Just imagine it’s a “green” clutch – made from navy faux leather and fabric patchwork with tonal topstitching and gold toned hardware, the perfect handbag to make you proudly wear man made materials. It’s true that the price doesn’t it make it easy to own ( $695 ), but this Stella McCartney Patchwork Clutch is one handbag I’ll write down in my letter to Santa.

Maybe you’ll find it hard to believe, but today we propose this wonderful purple Golden Globe Dress! It’s a Mint Jodi Arnold floor-length chiffon dress that carries a name hard to forget and a $880 price!

The party you’ll chose to show yourself with the Golden Globe Dress better have at least a red carpet! The V neck and the empire waist will make you feel and look like the queen of the party! And all that without being dressed in black like we promised.

Today we mixed some elements into a fresh new look that (we hope) will pump up your day and make you forget that you’ve got two more days until the end of the week.

So, let’s cheer up with this white boot cut and brown mary-jane all topped with this joyful red and white shirt and the classy edgy leather jacket. The brown belt gives a little colour to the white and red pants and shirt.

Let’s not forget the butterfly earrings, the orange bag and the silk scarf to contrast the rest of the outfit.

Since we love this sparkling metallic trend and Holiday Season is a Season to Party, we chose another pair of wonderful sandals to match a beautiful dress and make you look like the goddess you are! This coffee satin sandals are covered with three toned metallic tabs and the ankle strap is elasticized so you’ll feel comfortable with the 4 inch high heels. The Jimmy Choo Leah Satin Sandals cost $725.

Fashion’s all about forecasting, predicting and luring the consumer. And because that is our true world of fashion, the trends are announced by Fortune magazine! So roll out the red carpet, here come the 2008 fashion trends:

Accessories blend into one: the scarf. So if you expected the trends for handbags, shoes, any other leather small accessory, don’t! Because for the next year, scarves play the tune! Colorful, printed, or simply jersey, scarves will rock the fashion boat for 2008.

Oh, did we talked about shoes early on? Mmm, well.. Shoes is a kind perspective for the next hot fashion 2008 trend: the fashion sneaker. My wild guess is that’s all about branding, again! Since haute-couture is no longer interesting for the average-normal-client and since they’ve gone mad about luring new markets (east european, asian) into the accessory field with names all-over the bags mainly, seems that the marketing department found a new way to sneak under our skin: sneakers. (phew!)

See what number three brings us: well, pretty much to see, indeed: the see-through clothes. If that’s a hot fashion trend for 2008, then we’re really in trouble! 2007 was all about color and now we had so much of it that we’re washing it ALL out? Heck! I’ll even put a curtain on, see what that fashion hottie’s all about!

At number four, after all that scarf-sport-looking-trough, we’re into scuba diving! Industrial fabrics are the next IT! Rubberized materials, anti microbial outfits (damn! Is there a bio-war coming and they don’t know how to announce it?).

Number five is our lucky one! It seems that 2008 is gonna be sport and work out and then spa-consumer-temple. Tomorrow’s hangouts are the fifth hot fashion (?!) trend for next year. Meaning that soon we’ll get up, put a see trough curtain on, get into the spa, then step into the hairdresser’s, cosmetic shrine, then up one level to get a proper see trough dress and maybe the latest luxury sneaker, then up one level to the library checking out the latest Nobel-prized novel, then catch a bite and hurry down to the dj lounge and enjoy the rest of the evening in this temple of fashion, art and music!

How’s 2008 fashion sound to you?
