Stop feeling bad about giving into your biggest vice; shopping. Instead, head over to Forever 21 and grab a fashionable and affordable World Wildlife Fund Tee (all $14.80), which gives to charity at the same time. The lightweight t-shirts come with various choices of cool, fun, and trendy animal prints, such as, cheetahs or giraffes. For every animal tee purchased between now and May 31, 2012, $1.00 will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund, with a minimum guarantee of $20,000. Get fierce with a white tiger tee!

Sole Society & My Marco Santi “Sandra” Flats

by Julia DiNardo

Don’t you just love a fabulous pair of red shoes? They really are just so striking, hence I had to pose them against this bright blue carpet and with my accessories while at the beach last weekend to make the color pop even more. Perfect for a suitcase and meant to go with everything from an lbd to a teal sun dress, these red Marco Santi “Sandra” flats have an angular design trimmed in metallic to add a dose of evening chic.

These came to me courtesy of Sole Society, the subscription shoe service that customizes an online selection of fashion forward designer quality shoes that fit your style and needs. We wrote about them back in April, but here’s a refresher: for $49.95 per month, with no commitment necessary, you get to select a great pair of shoes, receive free shipping and returns, and can merely just register, or an take the style quiz, and browse without any obligation whatsoever.

Hat Protection South of the Border

by Julia DiNardo

On a recent trip to Mexico, I brought along my Scala Ribbon Sun Hat – The Stephanie, $30, as I imagined the most intense of heat beating down on my poor scalp. Although there were some sunny days, there were certainly rainy ones as well, which left me wearing it in the jungle, at Talum, on the worst day of the trip. Rain or shine, summer hats are having a moment, and can transition from the beach to a lazy afternoon lunch at a sidewalk café. Pair it with your bathing suit, a maxi dress, or a cool crocheted caftan. What style of summer hat is your favorite?

[What a perfect day!]
