Where is the money going???

Hi Oprah,

I have a question about your show “Celebrity Shopping Spree…”  I understand that for every 10 iPods purchased, one HIV positive child can be treated with pediatric drugs for two months. Meaning that 10 dollars from each sale goes to the Aids Foundation but what I do not understand is that the iPod being sold is marked up 50 dollars in comparison to identical iPods from Apple that come in  different colors and hold the same amount of music. With the iPod RED the price is 200 dollars and only 10 dollars from the sale goes to the foundation.  What happens to the remaining 40 dollars?  I know quite a few people who are going to purchase the other iPods for less and donate 50 dollars to the Aids foundation which seems more rewarding for both parties.  Please let me know if this is a better way of helping the cause as I would like to donate myself. Thank  you.

Fall Style update

Trend Report
How big are the bags? Big. How short are the shorts? Very short. How hot are the colors? Red-hot. This fall is all about bold statements. Here are some trends of the season, keeping in mind your body and your budget.

Leggings

Look for an opaque, stretchy fabric; nothing sheer, or they´ll look like pantyhose.

Boots

Tall, to-the-knee boots are the best footwear option for everything from full skirts to gauchos. You can even wear these cute boots from
Lace-up styles, ruched looks and croc embossing are great alternatives to basic leather boots.

Big Bags

From oversized hobo bags to large structured styles, the bold bag is this season’s must-have. While luggage-sized satchels are around, the most manageable sizes are slightly oversized.

Red

Each new season brings with a must-have color of the moment. This fall it’s red. This uplifting hue first made a blip on the radar for spring but it has evolved into the color du jour for this season. The little red dress has replaced the little white dress which replaced the little black dress last year. Got that? But don’t reserve this crimson color for evening. Reds can stop traffic during the day as well. Add accent to otherwise dull greys with scarlet slingbacks, clutches and belts or pair a red skirt with a graphic black and white jacket. Give your a break for the day and pair your colorful clothing with . We think this color has longevity so don’t worry about falling into the trend trap by stocking up on hot items that won’t do next year.

Must-have Items

• Plaid jacket or
• Animal prints
• Fur trims ex.
• Embellished jeans
• Bold jewelry – especially cuff bracelets and charm necklaces
