The Awesome Style of Stella McCartney

As a child of the 60s and a huge Beatles fan it does my heart good to see Stella McCartney be one of the most sought after and revered fashion designers on the planet. I always think of her mother, Linda McCartney--who Stella looks SO much like!~when I read or hear of Stella's most recent design or accomplishment.

I remember when Stella McCartney began her career in fashion and only the most important celebrities were wearing her creations. She is definitely a smart cookie when it comes to business, for instead of rushing into the mainstream retail market, Stella kept her offerings low key and exclusive for a very long time. I guess with a dad like Paul McCartney, or Sir Paul as he is known in England, Stella couldn't have helped but to be successful. However, her talent in design and fashion are solely her own. Many children of mega stars try to follow in daddy's footsteps, and for Stella McCartney that would have been easy, to create a career as a singer if she had any thing at all like a voice. But this McCartney blazed her own trail, following her dream of fashion design to become the go to designer for the classiest, most sought after styles.

I found some of Stella's great designs at a site I wanted to tell you about, Shop Savannah's. It's a wonderful shop and they carry any Stella McCartney you might be searching for, among other great designers. Take a minute to check out Shop Savannah's today. You'll love it!

Create an Online Hanes Comfort Pack and Help Fight Breast Cancer

I wanted to let you know about a fun Facebook app created by Hanes to help you let others know you want them to have comfort in their lives, while helping fight breast cancer.

Hanes new Facebook app allows fans to personalize and send free virtual Comfort Packages to friends and family. The best part of this is that for every Comfort Package created using the app, Hanes will donate $1 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. (up to $25,000) to promote early cancer detection, and also to help those in need get a mammograms.

Think of this new Facebook app by Hanes as something like when you turn to your favorite sweatshirt, tee shirt, or maybe even old pajamas, to find comfort. Hanes had this in mind when they created this comfy app, because they understood that comfort can also come from memories, music and a kind word of encouragement from a friend or family member.

The free virtual Comfort Package you create using the Hanes Facebook app can be sent from the Pink tab on the Hanes page. It is customizable, meaning you can add photos, videos, recipes, T-shirt designs, music and messages.

Come on ladies, you really should create a free virtual comfort package using the Hanes Facebook app and help fight breast cancer. If not now, when?
