Looking for some new Chuck’s? Want to contribute to a great cause? Then do your next sneaker shopping through The Converse 1HUND(RED) imitative, which celebrates the brand’s 100th anniversary, as well as their partnership with (RED). (A partnership project with retailers to help save the lives of people suffering with AIDS/HIV in Africa) http://joinred.com/products/converse/

For 1HUND(RED), Converse commissioned 100 graphic and graffiti artists and musicians to design an exclusive sneaker inspired by the global fight against AIDS/HIV in Africa. The results are 100 cool, stylish, one-of-kind sneakers.

In addition to these killer artist designs, Converse also offers a way for consumers to design their own sneaker. The Make Mine Red design experience allows you to use custom colors and patterns to create a Chuck Taylor that is perfectly tailored to your taste.

The best part of all? 5-15% of sales of PRODUCT (RED) Converse shoes will go towards the fund to fight AIDS/HIV in Africa.

I was out running some errands today, when this amazing clothing outlet caught my eye (see picture below).  I immediately thought to myself, “If I was a woman, would I be excited to purchase a dress from ‘The Dress Barn’?”  Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t actually go in and check out the inventory, I’m really only judging this book by its cover.  With that being said, I’m not sure I’m familiar with any women who would want to buy any clothing item from a barn.  But hey, maybe I’m wrong and out of touch and The Dress Barn is some high end boutique, way ahead of its time and offers latest fashion trends and styles.  Now that actually would be amazing.
