The fact that Sienna Miller was photographed walking her doggies in this groovy Humane Society hoodie emblazoned with Club Sandwiches Not Seals - which contributes to the fight against the Canadian seal hunt - pretty much ensures her status on the top of the Fashion It-Girl foodchain in our book.
Why not take a fashion tip from Ms. Miller & support businesses that help rather than harm our fab four-legged friends with these clothes, accessories & accoutrements that make it easy & chic to support animal rights causes:

Wear your cause on your sleeve (so to speak) by "adopting" a primate & donating to the Animal Protection Institute - where more than 400 nonhuman promates have been rescued from abusive situations in labs, zoos & bad owners, and finally have a second chance at a more natural life.

With age comes wisdom...and gelatinous belly and body fat, wrinkles, lines, dull hair, unsightly nail ridges & splitting, menopause, and lack of energy. When Dr. Aaron Tabor saw what a wreck his poor mom was at 50, the Johns Hopkins graduate (with numerous heath patents to his credit) decided to find a permanent solution. Seven years of research and an array of clinical studies later, The Revival Slim and Beautiful Diet was born - an integrated approach involving both the physical & mental aspects of successful weight loss that restored Suzanne's energy, relieved menopausal dscomfort, and made her beautiful again.

Follow along on the rise & fall of Rachel Baum, a sheltered, career girl who moves to South Beach in pursuit of the life less ordinary. Against a backdrop of celebrity-studded nightclubs, exclusive after-hours parties, and over-the-top VIP rooms, Diary of a South Beacy Party Girlchronicles Rachel's exploits in SoBe’s glam party scene.

Originally released in hardcover version in 2003, the perenially popular makeup manual is designed to give the rest of us access to some of the tricks of the trade. “I really like the idea of the book being in paperback,” says Mason, who has beautified an impressive roster of faces from Cameron Diaz, Uma Thurman, and Charlize Theron to Debbie Harry, Joan Jett, and Iggy Pop; she has also worked with Commes de Garcons, Giorgio Armani, Issey Miyake, Thierry Mugler, Jean Paul Gaultier, Versace, and John Galliano. “While I’m teaching methods much like I would in classes for professional make-up artists, I wanted every woman to feel as though they could pick up the book and learn something useful from it. I feel that offering it in paperback, makes the book even more accessible- particularly to women who are not involved in the cosmetics or fashion industry.”
With the arrival of November, darkness sets in early and the brisk, balmy nights of fall are but a memory. Instead of succumbing to gloom and doom, spread some joy. A classy way is by penning an old-fashioned handwritten(!) note. Yes, email cards are quick and easy, but
imagine how nice it would be to unlock your mail box and instead of a
stack of bills and flyers, discover a friendly message on gorgeous
stationary. Another way to beat the blues is, of course, by indulging. Even if your budget doesn't currently permit a full-scale shopping extravaganza, window shopping - both online and on foot - can be just as pleasurable. Why not round up all those holiday catalogs overflowing from your mailbox, snuggle up in your fave chair with a glass of wine, and treat yourself to an evening of ogling all the fabulous gadgets, gifts and goodies? For sheer shock-and-awe, nothing beats the famous (infamous?) extravagance of the Neiman Marcus holiday catalogue.
Of course the holiday season also means parties & get-togethers. Rather than drop tons of cash on outfits you might wear only once or twice, look to the better-dressed celebs (with the A-list stylists at their disposal) and steal ideas for accessories, makeup & shoes that give any outfit a festive touch without putting an unfestive dent in your bank account. (Scarlett Johansson is frequently an A+ for these purposes.)
And don't forget to treat yourself to a yummy new fragrance...you deserve it!
Great holiday shopping recommendations from some of the Glam Network's best blogs:
Get in the holiday spirit with the ultimate fun book, the incredible Neiman Marcus holiday catalog. From diamonds to $40K tandem bikes to $1.75 million trips into space, this is the place to find everything over-the-top. As She Finds notes: "Yes, Virginia, such unbelievable gifts really do exist."
For timeless glamour girl style that's red carpet- & party-ready, Catwalk Queen picks Scarlett Johansson as the starlet to emulate.
The season's makeup is "done" - easily accomplished with the finely milled pressed powder tucked into this gorgeous Yves Saint Laurent Opium compact recommended by Beauty Addict.
Ever since the Three Wise Men set out on their lengthy journey some two millenia ago, gifts of frankincense, myrrh, and gold have never gone out of style. Why not celebrate with some gold-encased Billet Doux (Love Letter) from Fragonard? According to The Scented Salamander, this is a re-launch of an original fragrance from the 50s, and inspired by a painting by Jean-Honore Fragonard (after whom the house was named).
Say "Happy Holidays" or "Thanks" with some stylish stationary - made from real, live paper thankyou - recommended by Oh Joy!

Being among the chosen provides the nervous adrenaline on which fashion thrives - a highly visible state of grace which is played out in the front rows of fashion shows, on the covers of magazines, and being invited to the right parties. But fashion's compulsion for change means it is only ever a matter of time before you are out-wrong-so-last-minute; and it's this delicate coexistence of euphoria and fear that creates an endlessly fascinating spectacle.

What started out life as a regular composition book in September 2001 quickly filled five volumes, recording the inner thoughts & confessions of four high school freshmen. "The notebook sort of paralleled our friendships," says co-author Sophie Pollitt-Cohen, 18, who penned the diary entries, along with Julia Baskin, Lindsey Newman, and Courtney Toombs. "It takes awhile for the juicy stuff to come out."
The book contains an unfiltered look at everything from how young girls today deal with body image - "Everywhere I look is Britney Spears and 10 billion other celebs naked bodies, magazines being like, '20 new tips to get that superstar body.' (Why can't I be a superstar in my own body?)" - to boys, to sex, religion, drugs, and even 9-11: "I don't know what I'll tell my kids when I grow up, how will I explain to them what I experienced?" via GrandForks.com & YPulse
