Site Spotlight: Tra Tutti

At first glance, Tra Tutti looks like a typical online consignment shop, carrying high-end and vintage designer brands. But there's a socially responsible twist to this new online shopping destination: Tra Tutti's consignors receive 40% of the sale of their items, an industry standard among designer consignment shops; however Tra Tutti only keeps 40% of the profit, donating the remaining 20% to charities that reflect the values of Tra Tutti and their customers. It's couture with a conscience! Check it out and you'll find deals like this Longchamp tote for $59.99 or these Cole Haan flats for $49.99. Tip: Go to "Shop by Style" and browse the "Under $100" category for the best bargains.

Would You Wear: Message Tees?

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria wore a cute a stylish message tee to the Ken Paves hair salon in LA.

Message tees, while nothing new, seem to ebb and flow in terms of popularity. But one thing's for sure: Message tees help you make a statement, whether it's expressing your political views or showing off your wild side. I thought I had "outgrown" message tees, but lately I find myself strangely attracted to wordy tops (like this one). I think there's a message tee out there for everyone, you just have to find the right message (duh!).

How about you, are you a fan of wearing message tees? Who stocks the best message tees in town?

Where to Shop for the Best Message Tees on a Budget (They're pretty much all budget-friendly! Gotta love that.)
