We kind of love CharityBuzz right now. They’re auctioning off a slew of very special money-can’t-buy fashion experiences that millions of women around the world would kill for. No, it’s not a job as Anna Wintour’s assistant at Vogue. CharityBuzz has teamed up with Christies to put up more than 200 auction packages online in a ‘Bid to Save the Earth’ from now until April 7 to raise funds for Oceana, Natural Resources Defense Council, Conservation International and Central Park Conservancy. And boy do we want to win the auctions!
How does a trip to Paris to meet Karl Lagerfeld tickle you fancy? Airfares and five nights at the swanky Ritz Carlton are included, as well as two front row tickets to Chanel’s 2011 Couture Show, a private tour of Coco Chanel’s apartment on the Rue Cambom and a Chanel bag to take home. All this is valued at $75,000 with bidding currently up to $21,000. So if you don’t have any collage loans to pay off or daddy is rich, jump on and bid now.
Also up for grabs is a chance to meet Marc Jacobs after his Spring 2012 show at New York Fashion Week, which also includes two tickets to his show, tickets to the after party, a Marc Jacobs handbag and two nights stay at the Standard Hotel. This experience is valued at $10,000 with bidding only at $3,000 so far.
If that isn’t enough, here’s even more of our favourite auctions:
- Ralph Lauren’s Paris Experience (Valued at $25,000)
- An Exciting Public Relations Internship Experience with the Donna Karan Company in New York City! (Valued at $2,500)
- A NET-A-PORTER.COM Ultimate Shoe Subscription (Valued at $10,000)

- Go On-Set With ELLE for a Fashion Shoot and Enjoy Lunch with an ELLE Fashion Editor in NYC (Valued at $3,500)
Just quietly, we love that a magazine experience with Elle is valued higher than a magazine experience with Vogue. I guess a fashion shoot is worth more than a walk around the sacred halls of Vogue and a chance run-in with Anna Wintour or Grace Goddington?

My old boss introduced me to Marc Jacobs and he was so sweet! A great way to raise money for a good cause!
