Now is your chance to get your hands on some little black dresses owned by some of Hollywood’s most beautiful women.

With the mantra “Giving Back is Always in Style,” Little Black Dress Wines – the official wine of awards season – continues its tradition of auctioning off some of the most coveted little black dresses (a.k.a ‘LBDs’) of the red carpet with an upcoming auction (January 11 – March 8, 2010) benefiting two great charities that resonate with stylish women – Dress for Success, the international non-profit organization which promotes career development for disadvantaged women by providing professional attire and Clothes Off Our Back Foundation which hosts charity auctions showcasing today’s hottest celebrity attire.

Little Black Dress Wines reached out to fashionable leading ladies of the big and small screen, asking them to donate an LBD and/or lightly used accessory for its upcoming auction. Notable women committed to this year’s efforts include Glenn Close, Mary J. Blige, Sherri Shepherd, Elizabeth Mitchell, Carrie Ann Inaba, Ashlee Simpson, Samantha Harris, Giuliana Rancic, Eva LaRue and Cheryl Hines among others.

Since kicking off its popular LBD auctions in 2007, more than 50 of Hollywood’s most well-known stars have helped raise over $100,000 for charity including Sharon Stone, Tina Fey, America Ferrera, Jenna Fischer, Jaime Pressly, Edie Falco, Felicity Huffman, Julianne Moore, Nicollette Sheridan, Kim Cattrall, Nancy O'Dell, Teri Hatcher, Lisa Kudrow, Chloe Sevigny, Angie Harmon, Jane Seymour, Laura Linney and many more.

“Through partnerships with Dress for Success and Clothes Off Our Back Foundation Little Black Wines is proud to give back as we encourage fashionable women to ‘Accessorize Responsibly’,” said Kim Charney, Brand Manager, Little Black Dress Wines. “We’re thrilled to host for a third year our celebrity LBD auction to celebrate awards season. With generous donations from some of today’s hottest Hollywood actresses, we look forward to another successful year raising money for our worthy charitable partners.”

Beginning January 11, 2010 to March 8, 2010, fans nationwide can log on to www.littleblackdresswines.com to bid on LBDs and accessories of some of the most famous women in Hollywood. All auction proceeds will benefit programs supported by Dress for Success and Clothes Off Our Back Foundation.

Little Black Dress Wines is a favorite wine brand among the fashionable set in Hollywood, most recently featured as the “official wine” of the American Film Institute’s AFI FEST 2009. The brand was prominently featured and enjoyed by an impressive “who’s who” of celebrities and industry insiders at the premiere of A Single Man, directed by legendary fashion designer Tom Ford, and starring Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and Ginnifer Goodwin.

LTTS Exclusive: Girls Have A Green Night Out At EcoStiletto

Look To The Stars’ lead host Michelle Vink attended the star-studded EcoStiletto event in LA last week, and filed this report about the event.

The new trend of today’s fashionistas? Shopping with a cause.

EcoStiletto proved that Green is definitely the new black for the Los Angeles fashionistas that came out to support their Second Annual Green Girl’s Night Out at Intuition.

On March 10th, 2009, loyal eco friendly shoppers not only brought out their checkbooks, but also brought in a pair of gently used shoes to support the charity, Dress for Success. In addition to that, 15% of all sales from the night were donated to the cause, with an additional 5% if guests used their own shopping bag.

The host committee for this event included Jennie Garth & Anna Getty who both support environmental causes. This particular charity event covered more than one notable cause. Besides the donations to Dress for Success & the overall eco-conscious awareness, Terra Firma Cosmetics’ lead free lipstick was used for shoppers to sign the Teens Turning Green Lips Against Lead petition with a kiss. L.A.’s Green Youth Movement facilitated this lip service.

Some of the socially conscious stars this night included Sarah Jane Morris (“Seven Pounds”), eco-expert and author Anna Getty, Katie Gill (“Drillbit Taylor”), Lorielle New (“The Practice”), Pamela Hasselhoff, Carolyn Hennesy (“General Hospital”) and Kristen Renton (“Days of Our Lives”).

In keeping with the theme, vegetarian appetizers and cocktails were served and a solar-powered Dj set the shopping mood for the eco fashion frenzy. Gift bags included a reusable shopping bag for future shopping trips, designed by Jennie Garth for Sierra Club with biodegradable cleaning wipes from Green Works Natural Cleaning Products.

For those of you that think that you can’t be trendy and stylish and still be environmentally conscious, would think again after attending this event. At this Los Angeles boutique, Intuition and their partner Ecostiletto.com, they believe in offering environmentally friendly alternatives for the today’s trendsetters, making it easy to be green.

Visit www.ShopIntuition.com to see some of these eco-friendly fashions and find out more about the store giveaway for an eco-friendly footwear basket worth $1,000 through March 26th.
