The Beckham's Give Back



Victoria has rightly so earned her place within the fashion industry, with pure hard work and determination - even if she does say she doesn't have a nanny help her with Harper, huc hum...

Her and the glorious David Beckham have been a golden couple since the early 90's and have been seen in some cracking outfits that have become iconic. Amidst the recent tragic Typhoon in the Philippines, the Beckham's have decided to give a little back in the way of fashion.

They're donated a range of these iconic outfits to the Red Cross charity, more than 20 boxes to be precise, with proceeds going to help people affected by the typhoon Haiyan.

Shoes ranging from Jimmy Choo, to Manolo Blahnik

Of course everyone knows Victoria is also known for her rather slim frame, and with the average size of a women in the UK now being a size 16, women are hopeful to attempt to fit in some of her garments. Thank god for shoes eh. But I guess the whole point of it would be to just own something that has been in the graces of the Victorias presents of even just in her wardrobe; that's how I'd see it anyway. 

The queue for the Kensington Red Cross branch where the garments were donated was humongous, as desperate buyers waited to hopefully buy a piece of the celebrities. It's such a shame to hear though that people were lucky enough to have bought items, listed them just hours later on eBay, to pocket hundreds of pounds potentially from them. The act of donating is sort of lost by doing this, and I'd feel very disappointed if I were these people. I guess it is hard to crack down on eBayers in this sense, as I know this happens a lot with sold out Zara items that 'bloggers' have.

Did you manage to get anything?
