Beyonce Knowles is spotted wearing a Falling Whistle–a symbol that advocates the campaign to take young boys off the front lines of war in the Congo. Other celebrities who support the cause include Jessica Biel, Doutzen Kroes and Laura Bush.
After hearing the horrifying stories of children sent to the front lines of war, only armed with a whistle to alert others of rebel forces approaching, Sean Carasso created Falling Whistles in an effort to bring worldwide awareness and peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Børn’s take on this season’s must-have shoe uses Opanka construction, which by nature is a “green” concept. Opanka requires fewer adhesives and cements and fewer internal components, creating footwear that is more organic naturally. They retail for $95 and come in chestnut or black. Check them out at zappos.com.
They say it may be his “best collection yet” and we agree! The Master Marc Jacobs had his models –fresh out of a cardboard box and onto the runway strutting to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” tunes. Starting with a very menswear inspired theme, the collection quickly turned feminine with daisy print gowns, sheer chiffon frocks, and metallics. Surprisingly no celebs in sight, just A-list Editors that were memorized afterwards!
