pretty in pink...

here we are...almost half way through the month of october...i don't know where the time is going...and of course...since the first...i've been meaning to do a post on october being national breast cancer awareness month...

wanted to share a few brands that are helping in contributing funds through their sales...to benefit organizations that are searching for a cure...

exclusively at saks: elie tahari "key to the cure" tee for $35...see pic below with the lovely jennifer hudson...a soft cotton tee with a key-filled heart...and "where there's love, there's life" printed on the front...the best part...100% of the sales of this tee go directly to breast cancer research...

and we have ralph lauren...where a portion of the proceeds from the sale of all pink pony products supports worldwide initiatives for cancer care and prevention...

if you have some favorite brands that have specific items picked out for national breast cancer month...please feel free to add them to the comments...

and most importantly...be sure to get your regular exam done ladies... =)

think pink...

this month marks the 10th anniversary of ralph lauren's "pink pony" campaign for cancer care and prevention as a worldwide effort to aid in the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer...many have seen his iconic pink-colored polo player logo...at this point...it is not only seen on the classic polo...but on everything from cashmere sweaters to scented candles...and the best part...with 10% of the proceeds benefiting this fund...

i still remember the first ralph lauren polo i bought with the "pink pony"...i had never been much for touting brand names/logos on my clothes...but i loved the reason behind it...and i loved the big pony logo...i still have it...and still love it...

on the 10th anniversary...i love the quote on the ad campaigns by ralph lauren...

"breast cancer is not just a woman's issue - it affects all of us; the brothers, husbands, fathers, children, friends. pink pony is our effort in the fight against cancer"

october is breast cancer awareness month...what will you do to support this vital cause? think pink!
