Shopping for a Good Cause

Breast Cancer Awareness Month may still be 25 weeks away, but Mother’s Day is right around the corner and if you are looking for a charitable gift to give the all-deserving women in your life you are in luck.

The jersey heart dress that recently made headlines during New York’s Fashion Week is now available online. Sass & Bide’s “The Mad Ones” dress is selling for $170 and all proceeds from the tie-dyed, sequin-embellished frock will go directly to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer, a charity that assists women living with breast cancer.

Hollywood stars including “Mission Impossible II” actress Michelle Monoghan and singer Natalie Imbruglia all ready snatched up the dress for themselves. And now you too can make a donation to help those inflicted with the insidious disease and score a hot new fashion piece in the process.

I haven’t forgotten about Father’s Day. I know. I know. The holiday is still a few months away, but you can shop ahead and help out a great cause when you purchase one of Bono’s new fashion creations.

The U2 rocker and award-winning philanthropist has teamed up with the Hard Rock Café to create a new charity t-shirt. The Grammy-winner has just been named as the 25th music icon to create a charity tee for Hard Rock’s Signature Series, which benefits each artist’s charity of choice.

Bono says he got help with his “Fish Can Fly” tee from his wife Ali Hewson’s ethical clothing line EDUN. The t-shirt features a fish soaring through the stars and sky. Proceeds from the shirt benefit the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Conservation Cotton Initiative, which helps African farmers escape poverty through land management education, organic cotton growing techniques, and wildlife conservation. The shirts are available for men and women—blue on a white background for women and red on black for men.
