After many hours of searching I finally decided that UNICEF would be a good cause to kick things off with. They’ve got a good ethos and I really believe in what they’re trying to achieve for children around the world who didn’t get the kind of start in life that most people reading this blog did. It is amazing to think that our donation of £25.38 (around $50) could actually save lives. And all this from writing about hoodies!

I’d like to thank Enclothe, Oddica, Indie Threads, Quixotic Clothing, Karmaloop, and those who purchased space through Text Link Ads. If it wasn’t for them then this donation would have been a lot smaller.

If you have any suggestions for next months charity then please feel free to comment on this post.

Yes, I put a ‘piste’ pun in my title, no, I will not apologise for it.

Sometimes when I post a hoodie I really think that quite a few of you will like it enough to buy that item (or at least something else in the same store), but I can’t really see it happening with this hoodie, not because of the styling, it’s more because of the price. This simple yet stylish hoodie will set you back $340.

Still, I’ve got a soft spot for innovation like this, and presuming that it’s actually functional as a layer when you’re on the slopes (or just somewhere cold) then it is actually quite a good idea rather than a gimmick. Besides the hood, the cut of it looks really well fitted, and I really like the inclusion of velcro sleeves. [via Gohgirl on Stylehive]
