Badgley Mischka a Thing of Beauty
Looking for a carry-all to put all others to shame? Badgley Mischka Couture's Beth tote is your solution. Its rich, high-shine leather and contemporary design offer plenty of urban-chic style, and its dual interior compartments and zippered pockets will help keep all your daily necessities in order.In the frenetic, often tumultuous fashion industry, Mark Badgley and James Mischka are a rare breed. Hailed by Vogue as among the "Top 10 American Designers" and the darlings of the young Hollywood set, this design team has made their mark with the most glamorous, stylish and wearable evening wear to come along in years. Since Mark and James joined forces in 1988, Badgley Mischka has captivated the fashion press and prominent retailers with their sophisticated style that caters to a younger, more modern couture customer, while not forsaking women of any age. They have remained true to this design philosophy and the consistent integrity of their collections have pushed them to the forefront of fashion. The Badgley Mischka signature style is simple, streamlined and thoroughly elegant.

The fully lined interior features tan signature fabric with leather trim, one back wall zip pocket, cell and three slip pockets. Bravo!

If this Bag was a Man We'd Marry it!
This iconic bag is available in a wide variety of colors and finishes. There's even a limited edition Bayswater in ostrich skin, our personal favorite. The bag can be used either as a shoulder bag or handbag. The
Bayswater bag has a flap closure which can then be secured with the postman's clasp and Mulberry padlock (complete with it's own key).
Heavenly.
Alas, this bag is no longer for sale in fuschia. The runner up? How about this little number by Bally? The Alunina in
Italian patent leather is a thing of beauty yes?
will be at the ready whenever you need it. Alunina's quilted, glossy patent calf leather and high-shine hardware can add a chic edge to daytime ensembles, or be perfectly pretty for a night out. Dust bag included. There's only one thing to say - "I DO!"
And, for the finishing touch, can you say "Wham Bham Thank You Derek Lam"- For these to die for sunglasses as the perfect match:
WHO SAYS all the good ones are taken? ;-)

Haitians say thank you
United Nations World Food Programme Bulletin
Posted by Jessica Lennon

Dear Supporter,
I’ve been moved by the tremendous outpouring of support we’ve received for our lifesaving work in Haiti. You are truly making a difference.
We thought you’d like to hear “thank you” directly from Haitians you’re helping. Even as they struggle to cope with the devastation after the earthquake – losing their homes, their jobs, their friends and family – they wanted to thank you for the hope you’ve given.
Watch the video to see the impact you’re making on people’s lives through the United Nations World Food Program (WFP): http://bit.ly/bPGRKN
Now it’s my turn to personally say thank you. When many Haitians thought they had no future after the earthquake struck, donors in the U.S. generously stepped forward.
What we’ve been able to accomplish in Haiti, thanks to people like you, is truly remarkable. The gifts we have received have been immediately put to good use. We have:
-- Provided more than 4 million people with food assistance. We’re also responding to the special needs of children and pregnant women.
-- Started cooking meals for schoolchildren in Port-au-Prince. The goal is to reach 72,000 children from some 148 schools. This is in addition to school meals programs that have already resumed in many parts of the country.
-- Put nearly 500 staff on the ground, operating around the clock to ensure as many people as possible receive the food assistance they need.
That’s just the beginning of our urgent relief and recovery work in Haiti. Part of our recovery strategy is to support people who are at risk, boost attendance and learning through school meal programs, and empower the local population to rebuild their lives.
Throughout the weekend, we’ve been tracking two additional tragedies -- flooding triggered by heavy rains in parts of Haiti where earthquake survivors are living in camps, and the 8.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Chile on Saturday.
While the quake was far stronger than the one that struck Haiti, human suffering in Chile will be far less extensive due to the location of the earthquake and the country’s long history in preparing for such disasters. Our teams are on standby to help if needed.
I am heartened to know that individuals like you will step forward when called upon, not only to extend a lifeline in a crisis but also on behalf of the billion people who are chronically hungry around the world.
Because the World Food Program relies entirely on voluntary contributions, our critical work would not be possible without your support. You demonstrated the power of individuals to come together and make a tremendous difference.
Thank you,
Josette Sheeran
Executive Director, World Food Program
On behalf of Friends of the World Food Program
