California reader, Lawrence, is looking for our help.

“…I saw a blouse on Hayden Panettiere that I would like to get my wife for her birthday but I don’t where to begin :) … Do you know the designer, where I could find it or any resources on the internet that could help me identify it?”

A lot of designers make a similar top, anyone know who designs this particular one that Hayden wore in Downtown Los Angeles while filming Heroes? Thanks in advance!

Designer: Erika Peña Designs

Erika Peña Designs : I am a designer, an entrepreneur and, above all, a dreamer. I was born in Puerto Rico, after my parents, Juan Isidro Peña and Maritza Milagros Peña, had emigrated from the Dominican Republic. On my 18th birthday, I moved to New York to study at Parsons School of Design. That is where my adventure began.

In New York, my focus was fashion design and I worked with many designers, most notably Donna Karen and Josie Natori. Following my work with these talented women, I was inspired to launch a clothing line called “epe”. It was during this period, when I was collaborating with a number of different designers on various projects, that I started looking not only to the future from my inspiration and this led me on the path to launching the Erika Peña line.

The inspiration of my jewelry line comes from my move from Manhattan to Puerto Rico. I wanted to convey this experience through my jewelry, which is a bit rough and edgy like New York, and a bit light and airy like the Caribbean. In 2006, I joined forces with my sister Bielka Peña-Bevillard with her financial background, and my designer background we are building our clientele and expanding the Erika Peña Empire!

Eco-Bling, Baby!

I love me some accessories. But I hate how an innocuous purchase like a cute necklace can turn out to have exploited a worker or the resources in a developing country. So I hunted around and dug up some great designers who work with recycled, reclaimed, vintage, and Fair Trade materials and often donate a portion of sales to charities. A few of my favorites are posted here, and 8 more are posted over at StyleHive – check ‘em out!

Above, the Love Heals Giving Tree Support Necklace – 50 trees are planted with each purchase! $182, here.
Lucina Fair Trade Citrine and Silver earrings. A steal at $28, available here.

And Cheeky Monkey’s Recycled 10 K Gold and Fair Trade Stone Horseshoe Necklace. It ain’t cheap ($320), but it sure is pretty! Available here.
