Since Friday, the city has continued on with Earth Day activities with the Go Green Expo that has taken place in the city. This is a great way to see how you can go green at work, home and anywhere in between. There are seminars, a variety of booths and more. With everyone talking about this concept, this is a great event to learn how to put it in to practice and to see the dedication on various levels where this is being put into operation! I am actually attending today which is the shortest of this week's schedule. I am definitely excited to taste the food, wine and to just learn how I can start applying this into my everyday life and of course to share with others. Visit the site to see what interests you and since it is being held at the Hilton on 53rd and 6th Ave, you'll be near some great areas to have lunch or dinner afterwards.

No matter where you are there is always a runway show going on somewhere across one of the many catwalks that are on the globe! No matter what you have access to them whether you were in the venue or you look at a variety of shows via amazing sources. One of those great sources includes Coutorture which brings the best of fashion, blogs such as this one and of course amazing editorials as well!

This runway show is from Peter Som during his SS08 Runway show. Although this look is being presented within this post, you can visit the site to see the rest of the amazing outfits that were presented during the show. I love that this look takes the idea of "Lady in Red" to another level. I love that this dress has the look of the "Ladies Who Lunch" but isn't stuffy and can have a lot of fun! This dress is definitely like a lot of other pieces within his collection in that the cocktail style of dress is played up and has a lot of fun elements. This can definitely be worn with the sweetest of ballet flats and of course, a great pair of heels as well. Of course, you can find more amazing designers on Coutorture as well.

This is the last week of Restaurant Week! But this is a great time to hang out with friends since Feb will be a busy month. There's no reason to let the end of Jan come without having a great time. Fashion Week, Valentine's Day and vacation are all going on this month and this can be shared over lunch or dinner. With over 200 restaurants participating, there's bound to be a place of interest that you and your friends can go. Check out Open Table to see what time slots work for you. Then make sure that you visit this site anytime you need to make a reservation for this evening or next week!

The city can be expensive and sometimes you have to think about whether you're going to buy the perfect dress to go to dinner with friends or whether you'll re-invent your wardrobe just so that you can spend more on the meal and drinks later. The best part about Restaurant Week is that you don't have to make such hard choices! You can buy something cute WHILE eating at places that you have always wanted to. Restaurant Week runs from this week through the next excluding weekends. If you want to check out a new place or simply want to revisit the place that made you skimp the rest of the week, check out Open Table where you can sign up for those that are participating for lunch and/or dinner. You can also make your reservations on this service during this week or anytime that you feel the need t make sure that you and your friends can have a great night and you'll seem like an expert.

There are so many ways that we can assist others that I love sharing certain organizations that I feel is something that you should know about! Lauren Bush is seen here (picture courtesy of AP) posing with the bags that are apart of the Feed 1 Initiative (yes she did in fact design these bags) in London. I love that the bags are reversible so you can take this so many areas without wondering if it might get a little dirty. She aims to raise awareness and funds for the United Nations World Food Programmers. By doing so, funds raised from this go towards children that are hungry and in need of attending school as well. These bags are 100% organic fair trade and they provide lunch for a year for one child! How amazing is this and of course you can learn more by visiting the website and get a bag of your own as well for under $60!
