"A new brand of accessible luxury. A new voice in modern fashion." Apartstyle.com, one of my new favorite shopping websites has something for just about everyone. Their Lookbooks and "Shop the Looks" pages are incredibly styled and provide the perfect inspiration for any aspiring New York Fashionista. 

One of my favorite things Apartstyle.com offers is their Shop2gether feature which allows you to chat with your friends on their page and keep favorites of looks and items that you love. You never have to shop online alone again! Super innovative and fun!

Fashion for Philanthropy is super excited to have APART Style feature two looks at our fashion show on April 1st in the Rose Hill Gym. While I do have the inside scoop as far as which two specific looks will be featured in our show, I don't want to give it away just yet! In addition, APART Style is also donating the items that are seen on the runway; you could win the looks from the show! All proceeds benefit The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Metro New York.

Check out APART Style here and let us know what looks you think may be featured on our runway! Can't wait to reveal the looks on April 1st!

 

Lilly Pulitzer has generously donated a private party that will be auctioned off at the show on April 1st! The fabulous party will be held at their Madison Avenue store for the winner and friends. The lucky winner has the option to choose from breakfast in the morning or cocktails and savories in the evening. A definite perk to this package is the one-on-one attention the winner and their friends will receive from specialists to help pick out the perfect outfit! All of the guests will even have the incredible ability to special order or pre-order from Lilly’s future collections! The hostess will also receive a special gift. It does not get much better than that!

In the spirit of giving back, Lilly Pulitzer will be donating 10% of all sales from the party towards the charity of choice!

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Metro New York and Fashion For Philanthropy would like to thank Lilly Pulitzer for this amazing donation. I am sure the winner and their guests will have a fabulous time! Even if you do not win this package, go ahead and check out the Lily Pulitzer website to shop online and for store locations.

Make sure to come to the show on April 1st to try and win this wonderful party! I love all of my Lilly clothes, they have brought me great memories; I am sure they will bring the same fortune to all of you!

As I walk around Manhattan, I constantly spot young women with distinctive brown and white striped bags. Everyone knows those iconic stripes could only mean one of Manhattan’s most fashionable shopping destinations, Henri Bendel! From chic jewelry to exquisite beauty products, Henri Bendel is a girl’s shopping paradise!

Soon, you’ll be able to see brown and white at Fashion For Philanthropy’s fashion show! Henri Bendel has given us a signature brown and white hatbox filled with bath and beauty goodies to be raffled off the show! What could be more New York than that?

Henri Bendel always has what’s new in accessories and gifts and has been serving women with irresistibly stylish treats for over a hundred years! Nothing says Manhattan fashion than a pretty something from Henri Bendel, and we are oh-so excited for their participation!

Good luck to those who will be trying to win this prize, and be sure to check out the store in New York on 712 Fifth Avenue or visit their website.
