As soon as I saw the October cover of ELLE Decor today, which featured the Manhattan penthouse of Ralph & Ricky Lauren, I felt certain that it was going to be a great issue. It was. The Lauren's newly renovated space, transformed by interior designer Angelo Donghia, is definitely a departure from what we're used to seeing from Ralph Lauren. While I do prefer the densely styled look that he usually offers us, this clean-lined, opened spaced design was refreshing in all of its subdued opulence. We've come to know fellow Bronx native and fashion designer, Calvin Klein, for his minimalistic design style, but not Ralph Lauren. Nonetheless, one can still see and absolutely appreciate the Ralph Lauren clean-lined aesthetic in his chic, pared down 5th Avenue environ.

In most third world countries, the water that is being consumed is most often the same water being used to clean bodies, clothing and livestock; teeming with bacteria. charity:water is but one charity pushing forward in the fight to combat the lack of clean water in underdeveloped nations. A $20 donation (less than the cost of two movie tickets) will allow one person to receive clean drinking for 20 YEARS! $20/20 is clearly an idea which anyone should be able to see how such a small donation can make a major difference in the life of someone less fortunate. I think two of the main reasons why we don't give to charity is, 1.) We assume a small donation won't make a difference, and 2.) With so many in need, how do we decide where to give? If not to charity:water, then please take a look at www.charitynavigator.org or www.guidestar.com, which are just two trusted websites that provide credible information on charitable organizations to help eliminate the guesswork when giving. So now, I'd like to think that it's not a matter of if you will give, but to whom. |
