My Elephant

Don't forget to check out the largest outside exhibition in Denmark ever. It's the 'Elephant Parade', with 102 baby elephants cast in fiberglass and then painted by different artists. The elephants are spread out in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg. The exhibition ends on August 25th and in the beginning of September they will be auctioned off by the Danish Auction House 'Bruun Rasmussen'. All proceeds goes to the preservation of the Asian elephants.

For Japan

Japan is still struggling to recover after the terrible earthquake and the tsunami and therefore lots of charities and private companies have kept Japan on their own personal agenda. Dries Van Noten, being one of them, made a t-shirt, which is produced in Japan. All the profits will be used to support the Red Cross in Japan.
An optimistic design of a Phoneix-like sun rising on a new day over Japan is the theme. The T-shirt will be available in selected shops worldwide as of tomorrow. 

Speaking of...
On behalf of my Danish readers I want to let you know that one of my friends, Christina Kousgaard Hansen, who currently work and live in Japan also started a charity which is open for donations. Please make a difference and visit their website www.hjaelpjapan.nu

Brazilets - wear your wishes!

I absolutely love Brazilets bracelets!
It's a 200 year old tradition and fashion accessory from Bahia, Brazil. They are worn world wide and supposedly they bring good luck to those who wear them. You tie three knots for three wishes, when your bracelet eventually falls off it is said that your wishes will come true.
They are only $5 each and they come in great colors - and no one said you can't wear more than one at a time.
I chose a light pink one - it's still on my wrist, who knows when it's falling off!

 

 Brazilets is committed to helping preserve and protect the Amazon Rainforest!

TOMS - One for One

the silver ones are $54 the two other pairs are $44


When all the snow is gone here in Denver, I need to have a pair of TOMS shoes. Beside the fact that they look awesome and that they are comfortable to wear, the story behind the company is very appealing to me.

In 2006 an American traveler, Blake Mycoskie, befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by caring TOMS customers.

Since the beginning, TOMS has given over 150,000* pairs of shoes to children in need through the One for One model. Because of your support, TOMS plans to give over 300,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world in 2009
