Pineda Covalin

I've received several emails asking me about some of the accessories I wear on RightThisMinute. By now most of you know that I LOVE scarves... and the one that seems to have received the most attention is the one pictured here. It is actually my favorite scarf! It has a lot of character and I love the colors! I got it during a trip to Mexico from Mexican design house Pineda Covalin (www.pinedacovalin.com). They seriously have the greatest prints and I love that each one has a purpose and lesson attached to it. There's meaning behind each one. Below is the story behind the scarf I'm wearing... I obviously chose the red one :-)

LC Lauren Conrad

Last week was my first week as an ABC correspondent for their new show OTRC (On the Red Carpet) and my first story was a piece on Lauren Conrad's new and pocket friendly clothing line LC Lauren Conrad. I talked to her and fashion expert Lawrence Zarian. He was so much fun and really knows his stuff. To see the segment click here!

(RED)Nike Laces

Nike is the latest international brand to join forces with the (RED) campaign to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. By using the power of sports both organizations hope to create awareness among the masses about this disease that kills 4,100 people DAILY in Sub-Saharan Africa. Of course, the goal is to raise funds for medication, research, and education. So, Nike designed and released the "Lace Up/Save Lives" laces that are now available for $4 at Nike.com. Oh, and you need not tennis shoes to rock the laces. I attached a pic of my combat boots a la (RED) laces.

Also, in case you did not see this a few months back... "In a first, an AIDS vaccine shows some success"... Read the Article at the San Francisco Chronicle.

I found this transcript and audio of an interview I heard on NPR about the topic: AIDS Vaccine
