Trend Alert: Peace & Love
Retro looks are making a comeback. They started emerging this past Spring and they're continuing to appear in the Fall 2007 collections. Thankfully however, this trend doesn't mean whitewashed bellbottoms and bare feet. Think more along the lines of Peace symbols adorning a posh pair of Pliners and peace & love, earth-friendly jewelry.
Read on and get your Peace & Love look on.
 Donald J Pliner
Embellished with a peace symbol, these bronze metallic flats are the perfect pair to carry you around the city this fall. The bling of the peace symbol keeps you in the trend while the chic look of the Pliner maintains the classic touch to your ensemble. Most importantly however, the peace symbol here represents Donald J Pliner's Peace for the Children Foundation and a proceed of profits is donated to the foundation. The Peace for the Children Foundation is dedicated to the advancement of peace, care and welfare of children in need.
Availably exclusively at Excentrique in Hinsdale, these babies rate among our top picks for flats this season.
Also by Donald J Pliner, the Marla Bag is adorned with Peace symbols and proceeds aid in the Peace for the Children Foundation with purchase as well. The Marla bag is carried at Excentrique.
