Designers and Celebrities Create for Women In Need.

With the holidays approaching we are all busy making our lists and checking them twice, worrying about what to give and well... what we will get.  This time of year it is hard to not indulge in our first instincts, which are to revert back to a childlike state and rush to Santa's lap to ask for parcels of cashmere and gobs of goodies, but now more than ever we should be aware of those in need.  Designers such as Issac Mizrahi, Diane Von Frustenberg and Kate Spade have joined celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Becham to create papier mache houses benefiting the Women In Need organization. Women In Need strives to shelter homeless women and their children throughout the NYC area.  The houses are being auctioned online till November 30th.  Here are some houses to be sure to bid on:

This one by Jennifer Lopez is fit for the diva herself with lots of bling. Well, with the current bid at $1,050 it better.

Although these houses are mini, if we were really decorating I would love to put this Ray Motif Mirrored Console in the entranceway.

Not to be out done by his ex, Sean "P. Diddy" Combs created his own version of a bling-tastic house equipped with his very own heliport!  I'm really into the bronze studs and the exposed zipper trim throughout this creation.

This would surely be the party house on the block, so keeping that in mind I would set up a nice big old bar and surround them with our Babe Bar Stools.  These stools are classic, but with the silver piping surrounding the edges these "babes" will toughen up the interior.

One of my favorite finds is this house designed by the man, the myth, the Mizrahi.  Issac Mizrahi's house is fun, colorful and detailed; he even remembered the shrubbery! Owning this house is relatively easy, just engage in a bidding war that is already up to $2,500!

This house would look great in a little girls room accented with a lighting fixture like this one.

Another great is from Dian Von Furstenberg (not a big shocker).  Her house should be called "Urban Crawl" for fusing city sophistication with animal instincts.

Not surprisingly this house is begging for our Zebra Rug.  If you want to see more DVF inspired designs read our review of her Spring 2010 line.

Don't forget to visit Charity Buzz and see these houses and many, many more; the cause couldn't be better! Pin It
