Attention green shoppers! Let us introduce you to a little company known as Mad Imports. The company's lines are full of inspired clutches, totes, and shoulder bags. When you buy one, not only are you helping your wardrobe, you are also helping African women support themselves and their families.

Mad Imports is the brainstorm of Laurel Brandstetter, a woman who wanted to give the women of Madagascar and Kenya the chance at a better life, while helping protect the environment, and providing us fashion freaks with yet some more handbags to choose from.

Tip of the day: Be a madhatter this fall

As much as we hate to admit, fall is around the corner and we have to start thinking about hats. Though we aren't a huge fan of the cold, it does mean that we can sport these cute, classic hats for a few seasons.

Though each of these styles has definitely seen their fair share of "trendy" times, they have risen above as the cream on top and have stayed classic hat icons for decades now.

Here's a little info on each, how to wear it, and a few examples to get you started.

Tip of the day: Givenchy's Phenomen'Eyes Mascara

We almost found the laziest mascara ever. Almost.

Givenchy's Phemonen'Eyes Masacara has an innovative spherical design built specifically get those little pain in the ass hard to reach lashes. It is also made for all eye shapes – whatever that means. Regardless, it promises big results for such a little sphere. We're perplexed.

If only this baby spun and did all the work for us, we'd be in heaven.

Tip of the day: Gucci Hysteria collection

It is unclear whether we have seen a bag collection quite as beautiful or one caused such "hysteria" as Gucci's new fall collection. The brand's newest handbag collection is heavily influenced by the Middle Ages. It features gorgeous animal prints, sumptuous tapestries, and mysterious and royal colors like grape, gray, and chocolate. Each bag is also adorned with a Gucci crest.

Has Medieval Times ever sounded so sexy?

Tip of the day: ColorOn Professional Eye Envy

Holy crap can you believe this? Peel off eye shadow. We're disturbed... and fascinated!

These bad boys are made of creamy mineral eyeshadow. As you might've guessed, the one-size fits all pads need only be tapped on and then peeled off to reveal, as ColorOn calls it, "stunning and avant-garde designs."

Though they seem to be a great idea for those on the run or those with very little beauty panache, we're still not sure whether they are freaky or genius. Regardless, they claim to be crease proof, hype allergenic, and a hell of a time save so more power to you ColorOn.

The Olympics are in full swing. If you are thinking about breaking out your red, white and blue leather fringed jacket embroidered with the words USA, frankly, that just sounds scary. Instead, wear your team colors and support in style.

Famous, funky, favorite Soho lifestyle boutique Kirna Zabete has opened up shop online. Now you can scope out the goods from designer to décor from the comfort of home. Just think, all that money you'll save on your plane ticket to New York can be spent on high end designer duds like Lanvin, Alexander Wang, Giambattista Valli, Nina Ricci and Thakoon. Plus dogs, babies, and beginners are all welcome to the online boutique.

And as the Kirna Zabete saying goes, you'll "leave looking lovely." *sigh* We love this place.

Tip of the day: Liberty prints

Liberty prints are everywhere. We've seen them on Kate Moss. We've seen them on Keira Knightly. Even on British socialite Peaches Gelfdoff. And if you haven't guessed Captain Obvious, these prints are as English garden as they come.

Designers are tapping in and bringing these charming prints across the pond via floaty, bohemian tops, simple sundresses, summer scarves, chunky shoes and of course, sweet English style tea dresses. Mixing Americana with English rose has never looked so good!

We all want a salon worthy blow out each time we step out the door. You might think it's easier said than done unless you have Ken Paves on speed dial. Ah, but you are mistaken grasshoppa. It really is as easy as 1-2-3 to achieve what we like to call the Holy Grail – the perfect blow dry.

Tip of the Day: Wear Jewelry Alchemy by Melissa McClure

Filed under: Jewelry, Tip of the Day

The brains behind the organic line dubbed Jewelry Alchemy, Melissa McClure brings the infinite idea of "opposites attract" to life in her line.

Coming from a family lineage full of jewelers and goldsmiths, it was only natural that McClure start her own jewelry collection. Having much to do with her split childhood between energetic New York and laid back Texas, her collection is an excellent contrast of nature vs. urban.

Some of our favorites from her silver and gold collection are the static branch choker necklace, asymmetrical large twig clasp necklace, assorted button bangle bracelets, double helix bracelet, leather wrap honeycomb, and the long simple twig earrings.

All stores that carry the line are located in West Hollywood. However, if you aren't in Cali, all's not lost. You can shop the line at Cake Jewelry.

Andrea Savage gives guys a clue

(Click the photo for Andrea's 10 tips on having sex with women)

If you read Esquire, and you really should, then you are familiar with the monthly feature "Ten Things You Don't Know About Women" in which a very attractive female celebrity throws out 10 chunks of insightful knowledge. In theory these nuggets of wisdom, if heeded, should have such positive results as better dates or a stronger marriage- if nothing else they should help a guy get lucky.

This month it was Andrea Savage of Step Brothers that offered up the 411 on the fairer, less hairy and better smelling sex.

Here are a few of her suggestions:

Wedding rings need to be sparkly to remind us not to have sex with other people.
If teenage boys knew that no matter what they look like, knowing how to dance will get them laid at every wedding they attend in their twenties, cotillions would be wait-list only.
We don't understand your fascination with boobs, but we're happy you have it.

See, that's the kind of stuff your buddies could never tell you, no matter how many beers you have. That's wisdom, Holmes.

Here's the whole enchilada:
