Taste Karlie Kloss's Cookies

You don't usually associate supermodels at NY Fashion Week with sweet treats.  However, Karlie Kloss was handing out cookies at Lincoln Center yesterday to launch her collaboration with Momofuku Milk Bar.

The cookie is called the "Perfect 10".  It is a mix of healthy ingredients like agave, almond flour and olive oil.  It is dairy free, gluten free, etc.  The purpose of the culinary team-up is to raise funds for FEED, an organization that provides healthy meals to those in need.  To date 34,300 school meals have  already been donated. 

I tried the cookie, and can honestly say it is tasty.  I feel pretty good about a treat I know is healthy and will help others when I myself indulge.  It also makes a great Valentine's gift!  Buy them online. 

If you just want to make the cookie yourself (too much work!) You can find the recipe here.

Cynthia Rowley's FEED Shop

Fashion feeds the world...At least some designers try to.  Cynthia Rowley and Lauren Bush hosted the opening of their FEED pop-up shop last Thursday in the back of Ms. Rowley's Soho boutique.  The shop sells products like eco-friendly bags, pouches and clothing to benefit FEED Projects.

The FEED Project's mission is to feed and reach hungry children around the world through the sales of their collection.  The line uses fair labour practices and uses organic cotton and burlap when possible.  

The designer and colleagues were on hand to sip champagne and answer questions.  Her Fall 2010 collection looked chic accessorized with the FEED totes.  My personal favorite was the Jack o-Lantern tote made in collaboration with Unicef.  It was a nice Halloween update to the change-boxes I carried around trick-or-treating in my childhood.  It is available on HSN and in the boutique.

The pop-up shop is available at 376 Bleecker Street in NYC until October 21st.  The FEED merchandise is available online and at Whole Foods indefinitely.
