Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This means it is time to wear and buy pink! That’s right! This sweet hue, which also happens to be on-trend for the fall 2013 season, is the official color to wear in order to help raise awareness and show support for breast cancer research.

There are so many ways to show your support for Breast Cancer research. You can donate directly to non-profit organizations such as The National Breast Cancer Foundation, you can wear pink and you can also purchase products which donate a portion of the profits back to breast cancer research.

If you would like to donate to organizations such as The National Breast Cancer Foundation, go toNationalBreastCancer.org. If you would like to purchase products benefitting various charity organizations dedicated to finding a cure for breast cancer, please shop from the widget below.

The below widget showcases products I have carefully curated from around the web in order to help raise breast cancer awareness. These products benefit several different charities. Please see individual websites for more information. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Outfit: Lipstick: c/o Laura Mercier “Sin” / Earrings: c/o Twisted Silver “Twilight” / Necklace: c/o Twisted Silver “Twilight” / Tank Top: Mossimo / Sweater: Carmen by Carmen Marc Valvo (on sale!) / Belt: Prada / Pants: Gap / Handbag: Chloe / Nail Polish: Chanel Alchemie / Boots: c/o Joie

Twisted Silver has done it again! With beads in shades of grey and a warm heart set on antique brass, the new “Twilight: collection from Twisted Silver is perfect for fall! The necklace can be worn several different ways; four of which are shown above. With this outfit I wore the necklace with the clasp in back. The clasp can also be worn in front and adjusted to any length to create a y-necklace. Love that!

Of course like many of Twisted Silver’s necklaces, the “Twilight” necklace can also be worn as a bracelet. I love wearing it as a bracelet with 3/4 length sleeves or short sleeves.

The “Twilight” collection is dainty, which is right in line with the current runway and street trend toward dainty jewelry. The neutral colors make the collection easy to wear with fall 2013’s color palette. Love!

I paired Twisted Silver’s new “Twilight” collection with my favorite pair of khaki’s and a comfortable lace cardigan sweater by Carmen by Carmen Marc Valvo. The booties, which are incredibly soft and comfortable, were a fun way to mix berry hues with the tank top. This was perfect on a recent warm fall day here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Dolce & Gabbana has created a fabulous new mascara for the fall 2013 season. Due to hit store shelves by October 2013, Dolce & Gabbana’s Passioneyes Duo Mascara Curl and Volume collection is expected to be the ultimate way to achieve beautiful, full lashes-and it is! Love this!

Passioneyes mascara is designed with natural ingredients including beeswax and tapioca which leave lashes conditioned and flexible.  This is a really important feature for me. I am allergic to the majority of mascara’s on the market. Mascara’s which claim to be natural or hypo-allergenic still cause severe irritation in my eyes. This has been a problem I have faced since I was in high school-which is (cough cough) over twenty years. I have always tried new mascara’s only to end up with an allergic reaction. It is very frustrating! Thankfully, for the first time in years, I am able to wear mascara! Thank you Dolce & Gabbana!

Dolce & Gabbana’s new Passioneyes Mascara has a curved application brush which instantly lengthens and curls lashes. I loved how full my eye-lashes looked after applying it! I applied Passioneyes Duo Mascara Curl and Volume in “Terra” at 8am in the morning and the mascara lasted all day! There wasn’t any flaking, clumping or irritation. Love that!

I am so excited to have discovered a mascara I can actually wear! I am thrilled with not only how my lashes look, but that Dolce & Gabbana’s natural formula can be worn by me! I am not allergic to it! I will definitely be wearing Dolce & Gabbana’s mascara for many years to come J

Dolce & Gabbana’s Passsioneyes Duo Mascara Curl and Volume is available in three colors; Nero, Terra and Blue Indaco. The mascara is priced at $32 and can be found online here.
