Most importantly, these little spray bottles smell like angels, as opposed to the hospital smell that typically accompanies quick soap. Lavender/Vanilla, Mango, and Pomegranate scents also leave your hands buttery smooth. A bottle is $8, and if you use it four times per day, it will last you 4 months! It’s kind of a miracle.

Speaking of miracles, how will this wash the developing countries clean? Eve Echo has teamed up with FINCA, an organization that gives small loans and financing to women, who then in turn hire people from her community to help generate revenue and a livelihood. This then allows moms to make enough money to feed their families, and send the children to school. It’s a circle of investment, education, work with dignity, repeat.

Natalie Portman says it best:.

Let’s see, we have:

This is just a small sampling of the hundreds of  events listed on FNO’s website and you can filter through all of them by neighborhood, category or specialty. FNO also has an iPhone/Android app to help you plan your itinerary on the go thus ensuring this year you can make as many regrettable, booze-induced purchases as possible. [WWD]

Julie Nixon was the first “celebrity” DVF saw wearing her designs and subsequently inspired the wrap dress.

“She wore a little wrap top with a matching skirt and I thought that was really nice. That’s when I decided actually to attach it and turn it into a dress.”

Well, at least that presidency gave the nation something worth remembering. Speaking of remembering, Iman and DVF take us down memory lane to the first time they met.  It was over 30 years ago at Lord & Taylor when DVF spotted that stunning giraffe glide into the room – “this extraordinary creature. You’v never seen anything so beautiful in your life.”

She approached the extraordinary creature and asked if she was a model – duh –  then asked her for her number. Iman kneeled in an “extraordinary” way and they’ve been friends ever since.

According to Iman, however:

“I don’t kneel for anybody like that except David Bowie and Diane von Furstenberg.”

Andy tried to touch on their time at 54, but they both pleaded the 5th. I’ll just assume that means they can’t discuss it lest they face federal imprisonment and/or deportation.

Check out the Bravo website for some more iconic wisdom and the video below for an Iman-tage of the super’s greatest moments from The Fashion Show so far. One word: amazeballs.

What exactly is Lord and Taylor trying to sell? Fashion or serial killers! And where did they find this terrible model?

Making her move from McGuire to mature, Hilary Duff has teamed up with DKNY to launch her second self-made label “Barely Legal.” Slated to hit department stores like Lord and Taylor and Nordstrom this fall, Duff calls her line feminine and “aggressive in a good way.” I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of collaborations (especially with celebrity designers) but by the looks of the drawings, there may be some potential for a decent line!
