Think Pink

It's been a while since I had a chance to post--fashion week, holidays, birthdays and other fab events can keep a girl busy! And there's so much to write about, like all the gorgeous styles that I saw from my front row view of across-the-street-while-running-to-get-food during my lunch break. But right now, I'm thinking pink. Not pink as in my pretty bow, but pink as in the pink ribbon of the upcoming breast cancer awareness month. It seems like more and more companies in the fashion and beauty industries are coming together and working to raise awareness and gather enough money to fund treatments and cure research. Avon is sponsoring a walk for cure where women raise money and walk 30 miles for the cure. PrettyCity.com is working together with spas and hair salons through out NYC to raise money for the Y-ME national Breast Cancer Organization to help provide information and support to anyone touched by breast cancer. Ralph Lauren created a line of exclusive 'Fashion Targets Breast Cancer' Polo's for the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer charity, available on Net-a-Porter.com, a new site that I'm looking forward to exploring. Marc Jacobs created a special charm bracelet available on Shopbop.com and Coach has a really cute pink ribbon key chain. Seeing the fashion and beauty industries create something that is not only designed to beautify but also to help women--now that's a way to give back and show some love to it's supporters!

I know I mentioned a few things, but let me know if there are events and products that I missed!
