Designers, celebrities and fashion organizations are banding together in an effort to help aid Tsunami and earthquake victims in Japan. Some designers, like Rebecca Minkoff, are letting you shop for Japan by donating proceeds from purchases to the country.

More opportunities to shop and help are expected in the coming days.

In the meantime, here's how you can put your shopping skills to a good cause.
