Model with a CONSCIENCE: Coco Rochas
We were really excited to stumble upon this video today! Supermodel Coco Rochas is seen here in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti with some of her friends. They travelled to the earthquake stricken island and brought with them hundreds of letters from around the world to lift up the spirits of the Haitian people, and show them that the world has not forgotten about them. Letters to Haiti, the film is due to drop in September 2011. Take a look at the trailer!

Feel Good Shopping: TOMS
Pale-pink Cordones by TOMS Shoes, $69.
The TOMS Shoes movement started in 2006 and since then it has taken America by storm. Their concept: for every pair of shoes you purchase TOMS will donate a pair of shoes to a child in need. We particularly love this pair of Cordones because it has a cool downtown feel and the soft blush shade is easy to wear with anything. You can sport them with jeans, skirts, dresses and shorts. If pink is not your thing the Cordones come in a slew of shades ranging from white to plaid. What more could you ask for? This One for One initiative is something you can truly feel good about. Check out this video for more One for One news from TOMS Shoes.

Just because we love it!
Oscar de la Renta, 24 karat gold plated ring, $195.
WHY WE LOVE IT!
We love this Oscar de la Renta cabochon ring because it is organic enough to stand alone. It is the perfect complement for those who love to mix and match and who favor bohemian and hippie styles. It can easily be worn with any outfit and make a statement on its own which is great for easy summer dressing.

Chit Charity with Katherine Heigl!
Every year, millions of dogs are euthanized in the U.S. because they don't have a home. Katherine Heigl and her mother, Nancy decided to create The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation to show that older dogs can make great family pets! They named the foundation after Heigl's brother who died at age 15 in a car accident. The Heigl women wanted to keep Jason's legacy and love for animals alive. They also wanted to offer their support to the canine community and have a real say in how their money would be used and so The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation was born. This organization focuses on abolishing euthanasia of dogs by funding free spay-and-neuter clinics, rescue groups and through the Heigl Hounds of Hope Program. The goal of this program is to train big dogs in the hopes of having them adopted. Learn more about this cause and consider enlarging your family!

Style File! Tip #17
PUT THAT AWAY!
Contrary to popular belief less is NOT always more. Especially when it comes to skin coverage. In most cases, the more skin is showing the more trashy an outfit becomes. So don't get caught with your pants down and put that away. If you must show some skin do it in a tasteful way- do not bare it all at once!
PLUS...
Remember, leaving something to the imagination is always in style.

Editor's Journal: Welcome to the issue!
Summer is in full swing. And if you are like me you are spending as much time as possible on the beach, eating ice cream, tanning, BBQ-ing, jogging, catching up with friends and eating more ice cream. But for some reason I can't help but think about the cool weather that is to come. July usually brings mega summer sales to make space on retail floors for Fall Fashions. Even though the change announces doom and gloom, I try to look at this on the bright side - this gives us yet another excuse to shop, as if we really needed one!
Although summer has a special place in my heart, I must confess that fall is my favorite season in the fashion calendar. Whether I am dressing up or down I love to layer and mix-match pieces in rich textures and colors. Fall staples like blazers, cardigans, trench coats and sweaters make it so easy! We'll show you how in TREND WATCH and STYLE FILE. Not to worry though, we will still showcase some hot weather trends since summer is going to stick around for a couple more months.
A designer well known for her layering savoir-faire is British designer, Vivienne Westwood. Find out more about her life, career and heart in DESIGNER WATCH.
Get ready for a month full of style, heartwarming news and summer fun in the sun.
Love,
XoxO Kelie
