Lilly Pulitzer's A Colorful Cause Collection

Summer is the natural season for bright and colorful Lily Pulitzer designs. To celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary, Lilly has created the "A Colorful Cause" Spring/Summer 20009 collection, a special line designed with nine celebrity women--Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angie Harmon, Marcia Cross, Catherine Bell, Debra Messing, Brooke Shields, Bridget Moynahan and Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon. The line of swimsuits, shifts, pants, skirts and caftans benefits the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation with 15 percent of the price going to the foundation. Epidermolysis Bullosa is a rare and painful skin disease that results in blisters and wounds on the body. The Grace shift shown at right was designed by Debra Messing and sells for $428.

Gwenyth Paltrow's GOOP Garage Sale

Filed under: Auctions, Celebrity Shopping

Women who wear a size 8.5 shoe can take a walk in Gwyneth Paltrow's Prada pumps. Paltrow announced through her GOOP newsletter that she is selling selected items from her closet on eBay.

Items include Jimmy Choo, Chanel and Devi Kroell bags and clothing by Balenciega, Michael Kors and Yves St. Laurent. So far bidding has been surprisingly spare. Last time I checked most items had less than 25 bids. The top lots so far seem to be a few designer purses and a couple of Paltrow's belted coats. There are definitely still some deals to be had, Paltrow's Armani sunglasses are under $60 and some of her designer clothing hasn't reached the $100 mark yet. Items will be shipped from London.

The sale ends on April 16 and proceeds go to the Robin Hood Foundation which fights poverty in New York City.
