February Fashion Week is a tough occasion to dress for because it's usually so very cold. But, since this season was surprisingly mild, I was able to play with my outfits a bit more, and not wear the same black coat everyday. From Valentino to Yigal, check out my fashion week looks. I even wore one of my favorite eco-brands, H Fredriksson! Click here to see my outfits from past NYFW seasons.

From the Green Shows to Peter Som, check out the looks that caught my eye these last few days!

NYFW has officially started, and so far I've been able to see some great collections. Read on to check out my fave looks from Richard Chai, Kim Ovitz, and Candela…

Believe it or not, but it’s that time of year again. NY Fashion Week is here and I started it off just right by seeing the FW12 Organic by John Patrick collection!

Free People took their first foray into vegan leather this past July, and it’s done so well that they are continuing the venture with a selection of super cute non-leather pieces for the Spring. Click through to see more of the collection...

I have always loved Coco Rocha as a top model in the industry but who knew she could also design! I just came across this awesome collection of jewelry she created for charitable organization Senhoa. Click through to learn more about the line...

It's tough to find cute shoes in the ethical fashion market, so I was surprised and excited to come across French sneaker brand Veja. Click through to see other styles...

Rachel Roy's new clutch boasts the phrase "kindness is always fashionable" and the bag is true to its word! Not only is it fashionable (I love its bohemian vibe and understated playfulness with color), but 100 percent of sales from the clutch go directly to OrphanAid Africa.

Last year, I spent my New Year's in the Mexican beach town of Tulum and fell so in love with the place that I went again this year! Click through to read my recommendations of where to stay, where to eat, and what to do if you go there — which I hope you do!

Source4Style is a fantastic website founded by my good friend, model and eco-superstar Summer Rayne Oakes. Summer and her team scour the globe in search of the coolest, most innovative, most sustainable textiles so that buyers and designers can have access to these desirable fabrics. It's a great concept, and I've become such a fan of the site that I'm now a Source4Style curator! Click through to find out more...

Recently, a whole crop of eco/ethical beachwear has come onto the scene, and among this new group of trendsetters — Cecilia Prado, Mae, Olga Olsson — Bantu has caught my eye this season. Maybe it's the playful prints — seaweed, jellyfish, and shells, to name a few — or maybe it's the beautiful textiles that all are all made in Africa, but Bantu definitely stands out from the crowd!

Last night, we had our annual holiday party at Landmarc in the Time Warner Center. Click through to see the rest of the pics from that night...

I've lived in New York my whole life, and I've got to say: We New Yorkers love to wear black. From Wall Street types to fashionistas, it is the color (or is it shade?) of choice. That said, it's fun to spice things up every now and again. So if you’re looking to add some punches of pattern and color to your holiday wardrobe, check out fashion brand SUNO! They recently launched a line of sneakers in their African-inspired prints that are the perfect anecdote to a color-deprived closet. Click through to see all the cool kicks...

As some of you may recall, I wrote awhile back about the super chic swimwear brand Charlie. Suffice it to say, I no longer travel to exotic beach locales or visit fancy spas without a Charlie two-piece in hand. The string bikini style is my favorite (I have it in pink and black!), but all the shapes are fun and flattering — just what you need in a swimsuit.

It's that time of year again! Christmas is just around the corner, and if you're having trouble figuring out what to get your friends and family, just head on over to revolveclothing.com. Click through to check out my picks...

I'm a big fan of yoga, Pilates, coreFusion, and ballet — basically any type of workout that has to do with flexibility and core strength. So I was psyched when footwear designer Blake Brody invited me to a private Pilates session so that I could try out her workout shoes firsthand! It felt a little funny being in a class of three people (especially since Blake is awesome at Pilates and I hadn’t worked out in a few weeks), but it was a great way to test out the shoes.

Last night, Joanna Coles' assistant Sergio Kletnoy and I checked out the Cinema Society screening of W.E., Madonna's film about Wallis Simpson and the modern-day woman (played by former MC cover girl Abbie Cornish) who is obsessed with her. I went in with no expectations, having heard mixed reviews, but I've got to say that I really loved it! Click through for a review and to see what I wore to the event...

Our feel-good fashion editor invites you to attend a charity event at Bloomingdales with Clarins and FEED. Click through for more details.

Designer Kenneth Cole is almost as well known for his philanthropic and charitable endeavors as he is for his fashion empire. He has never backed away from taboo issues and was one of the first public figures to talk publicly about the AIDS epidemic and raise awareness for the issue in the early '80s. Now, to commemorate the discovery of the virus 30 years ago and to inspire a new generation to tackle the issue head-on, Cole has designed a new AIDS ribbon.
