One of my favorite things about October is that designers and brands release fabulous pink products which benefit breast cancer research. These beautiful sunglasses from BCBG encourage “Courage” and sales from the glasses directly benefit the search for a cure. Love that!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

 in Beauty / General Fashion  tagged breast cancer / charity / fall 2013 / pink by

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 

 

Shades of pink for fall 2013

 in Color Trends / Trends  tagged fall 2013 / pink / runway trends / winter 2014 by

Pink is normally a color associated with spring. Not this time around! Designers in New York, Milan, Paris and London sent shades of pink down their fall/winter 2013/2014 runways for the cool weather season; trumping the idea that pink is for warm temperatures.

There are two important shades of pink for fall 2013; pale pink and fuchsia. These contrasting versions of sweet, springtime pink are being shown on everything from accessories to apparel. Shades of pink are even popping up in beauty products including nail polish and lipstick for the autumn 2013 season. Who would have thought?!

Pink can be worn as an accent color or the dominant hue of an ensemble. This is a great color for adding pop to your current wardrobe. If course, if you are a pink fan, a tonal pink ensemble for the fall season is de rigueur!
There is nothing demure about pink for fall 2013. The pale shades of pink are washed out; almost vintage in saturation. The bright shades of pink for fall 2013; which include fuchsia, evoke a playful, anything-but-sweet vibe for the cool weather season. This isn’t your daughter’s pink.

If you love pink, you will love everything about this color trend for fall 2013. If you shy away from pink but feel like these two, more grown up versions of the color might be fun to test drive this season, look for pink pieces which accent other colors such as shoes, a handbag or leather wrap bracelet.

I found a few fabulous pink items around the web for fall 2013 and assembled them into the shopping widget below. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
