Gwyneth Paltrow has a website, Goop in which she shares aspects of her glamorous and fashion forward lifestyle. I saw her movie “Emma” and thought of her web presence and since I’ve been hearing about the Goop website I decided to finally took a look.
Her latest Goop newsletter discusses her new spring wardrobe choices and also (the main topic of this post), her charity auction on ebay.co.uk. Sixty-seven items consisting of new and gently used clothing and accessories, are being auctioned at the GOOP ebay store via Flogit4U to benefit the Robin Hood Foundation . The clothes and accessories are located in the U.K. but ship worldwide. Goop.com describes the Robin Hood Foundation as an organization that “…finds, funds and creates programs and schools that generate measurable outcomes for New Yorkers battling educational failure, joblessness, teen pregnancy, abuse, AIDS, hunger, homelessness and more“.
A few of the items up for auction are pictured below (click on photo for higher resolution pic). Check out the auction because there are many more labels on Goop’s eBay store than are listed here.
Items I’ve posted photos of include a Diane Von Furstenberg fuchsia dress, a Michael Kors jumpsuit, J Brand black bootleg flare jeans, a Prada cream trench coat, Proenza Schouler black suede platform shoes, Tod’s sandals, Stella McCartney running shoes for Adiddas, a Jimmy Choo large handbag in lime green with matching purse, a Chanel quilted handbag, a Valentino fringed brown snakeskin leather and suede bag, a Paul Smith canvas and leather messenger bag and Stella McCartney aviator sunglasses.

Angelina Jolie recently stated that comfort was her priority in choosing what to wear to award shows. With six young children that include twin babies this is completely understandable. But we should all be so lucky to have the things going for us that Angie has. Perhaps then we wouldn’t have to try so hard either! Pictured below with her equally genetically blessed partner Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie chose a loose fitting black satiny wrap dress for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” premiere in Tokyo, Japan, January 29. More of Angie’s comfy mommy red-carpet glamour after the jump…..
Japanese fans go wild for Brangelina at the Tokyo Premiere of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Fans queued for hours before the premiere of Brad Pitt's Oscar nominated film. Angelina Jolie was happy to sign autographs and wave at fans. She was wearing a form fitting, body hugging black dress as she glided down the red carpet in Tokyo, Japan.
