VH1 is bringing the rock star aesthetic to the masses and it’s all for a good cause. For the first time ever the VH1 Save the Music Foundation has introduced their “Big Shopping” event online. A slew of celebrities were invited to the W Time Square to preview the goods and find their favorite way to show their support. Katharine McPhee sported an icy blond cut that fit with Skyn Iceland’s aesthetic. The songstress tested the merits of moisturizing your under eyes and staying hydrated to avoid looking and feeling exhausted. Twilight’s Billy Burke jumped into W Hotels’ famed comfybeds and spent a great deal of time playing Lego Rock Band. Just a regular afternoon for the actor, whose much anticipated film had premiered the night before. The City’s Eric Lucas was particularly taken with the jewels from Alex Woo and Alex and Ani. We were totally overwhelmed by the magnanimous brands in attendance, who share VHI’s commitment to promoting cultural education and “saving the music.” After meeting the lovely owners of Shoptwigs.com and checking out the collections they carry for the cause, we sat down to an amazing manicure from Zoya. With freshly painted nails and a smile on our face we danced out into time square to feel the holiday spirit. To check out some of the amazing products visit vh1bigshopping.com.

Christian Cota’s holiday collection was made for the cocktail party circuit. The designer, who launched e-commerce on his site today, has created a E-Holiday capsule collection to be sold until December 30th. And while his draped dresses and sexy skirts will make you look good, they will also enable you to do good. Cota is donating 25% of the proceeds to Wine to Water, an organization that helps provide clean drinking water to areas in need. And raising the funds is half the fun as founder Doc Hendley hosts parties where the wine and venue is donated and proceeds go directly to providing pure H2O. It’s a concept Cota wholeheartedly supports. “I’m all about drinking for the cause,” he said. The 12 unique pieces will leave every lady sparkling this season; these are just a few of our favorite looks! ~Nola Weinstein
1. Silk Jersey Asymmetrical Fitted Dress, $700
2. Silk Jersey Signature Draped Cardigan, $595
