Reese Witherspoon showed her support for MS while running last week as she donned a bright green tee from charitable clothing company Give and Take. This t-shirt company has been garnering a lot of interest among Hollywood with their soft vintage-looking tees that help to support various causes. In addition to Reese Witherspoon, stars such as Jessica Szohr and Shannon Elizabeth are among some of the famous wearers. Each t-shirt depicts a design intended to “communicate a message that intends to ignite a positive response, to awaken to the interconnectedness we all share, and to encourage activism.” As you can see Reese’s particular tee relates to MS, thus 20 percent of the proceeds from that particular t-shirt will go to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Each tee can be purchased for $50 at stores like Barney’s, Scoop, Fred Segal, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s. I especially love their Boys and Girls club tees (seen below).

Lindsay Lohan is known for a lot of things, one of them being shopping. In spite of past suspected financial issues, the girl still showed us she knows how to take advantage of retail therapy. No matter which coast she is on or which country she is in, Lindsay always seems to know the shopping hot spots, a skill that, no wonder, led her to New York City’s finest designer consignment store, INA.

If the name sounds familiar, it is probably because you have seen their black signature shopping bags draped around the arms of some of the hottest stars out there, including Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester and Jessica Szohr earlier this summer. Mid-shop, L.L. even stopped to tweet about how much she loved INA and its staff.

INA has been around since 1994 and has five locations around the city including shops in Nolita, Soho and the Upper East Side. They specialize in selling used high-end designer clothing hard to find anywhere else (such as multiple adorable Chanel tweed suits).  Customers have the option of shopping online (via eBay) or shopping by appointment (made over the phone). To get the latest scoop on who has shopped at INA this week and which items are currently available for purchase, follow their blog. We aren’t sure exactly what L.L. bought that day, but we are secretly hoping she didn’t snatch up the Balmain Embellished Strap Dress.
