Time to clean out your closets! Bring your worn denim – jeans, shorts, jackets or skirts - to the nearest Gap store and receive 30% off of new denim purchases for spring! The cotton in your jeans will be recycled into UltraTouch Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation, which will be used to assist the building of homes for communities in need.

The humanitarian efforts are in partnership with the Habitat for Humanity and Cotton Incorporated’s cottonfrombluetogreen.org. The Cotton From Blue to Green denim drive began in 2006 as a marketing initiative to educate college students about the renewable and recyclable benefits of denim.  In the first year, over 14,000 denim pieces were donated nationwide, and were used to help build 30 homes for displaced families of Hurricane Katrina. What a great way to recycle and reuse your denim blues! The offer ends on March 14, so hurry to a Gap store today!

Hilary Duff in Femme

Actress Hilary Duff has definitely grown up since her Lizzie McGuire years. The former tween idol, who has become a fashionista to watch, is bringing her downtown classic styles to department stores with her new clothing line, Femme by Hilary Duff for DKNY Jeans. The fall collection will consist of 10 to 12 pieces of sportswear and outerwear. Duff said to WWD recently that she chose the name Femme because it combined the feminine and the tough sides of her line really well. She designed pieces that offer multiple fashionable options, including wrap sweaters, skirts, leggings, fringe tees, vests and layering camisoles. I already have my eye on a some items, including a sweater which has a removable cowl-neck. But my favorite so far is the black bomber jacket. It is an essential for fall fashion and would look great with jeans, leggings or skirts.

Jacket from Femme by Hilary Duff

Femme for DKNY Jeans will debut in August at Macy’s, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom and DKNY stores. A holiday collection from Duff’s line will be available later this year.
