Fashion Saves Lives, Really.

You may remember my love affair with Housing Works, mentioned here and here.

Well, here are a couple of highly mentionable updates:

The organization, whose proceeds benefit those living with HIV and AIDS, is holding a sample sale with over a million bucks worth of designer goodies in the hopes of raising $500K. There's also a swank party, Fashion For Action, which is being held at The Rubin Art Museum and hosted by Marc Jacobs.

The sale will be held at the store's Chelsea location at 143 West 17th Street from November 14 - 16th. Not a New Yorker? Don't fret. They've also updated their website to include "Buy It Now" items that your friendly neighborhood Fed Ex guy will happily dispatch.

There are tons of treasures that get updated daily but here are some of my favorites:



A Tom Ford designed Gucci dress that is perfect for the stylish, yet cash-strapped bride, a vintage Courreges bag that's equally chic with a tweed suit or jeans, and speaking of jeans, a pair of Sevens in a flattering wash and cut.

Find them, and all their BIN items at Shop Housing Works.

Hurry -- Shop For A Good Cause

It has been one of those days here at AIS International headquarters...yeesh!

I can't believe I forgot to tell you about this: God's Love We Deliver is an organization devoted to improving the health and well being for those living with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other serious illnesses. How do they do this? By delivering nutritious, high-quality meals to people who need them most.

What can you do to help them do what they do?

Shop.

From today through this Friday the 12th you can buy great designer goods for next to nothing. We're talking Coach, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, just to name a few. In fact, none of the items you see here are over $40:
