One cause I'm very passionate about is Breast Cancer Awareness. This year, an estimated 192,370 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 2.5 million women living in the United States have a history of breast cancer. I know these numbers seems high but there has been a decline on breast cancer mortality rate of over 2% each year since 1990. Nevertheless, an estimated 40,170 women will die from breast cancer in 2009 (source: Breast Cancer Facts&Figures 2009-2010). There is still no cure for breast cancer. It is the second leading cause of  cancer death in the U.S. Early detection and improvements in treatments are important factors that can be attributed to the decline on breast cancer deaths. The campaign for screening goes hand-in-hand with the search for a cure. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a great time to do however we can to help and support a cause that can save lives. Michael Kors 'Key To The Cure' Tee $40.00 Saks

Here in Los Angeles, it surely feels like summer. And since I can't do anything about the weather, I decided to officially welcome the summer season here at TheSmartStylist.com. One thing I love about summer is wearing sandals and with that getting a pedicure. For the guys out there, pedicures are not just for the ladies. I highly recommend getting a pedicure. You might be wearing Dior or Gucci sandals but with icky toe nails, that's the first thing someone will notice when they look at your feet.

Here are some fun and colorful sandals for summer. Some points to consider when shopping for sandals, flip flops or thongs. Material: natural fibers are great or any material that would let your feet breath. Stay away from plastic or all-rubber sandals like jellies.  Have at least 2 pairs,  one day wear and evening. A third pair would be nice for trips to the beach. Colors: Have fun with it, pick colors that coordinate with your clothes. Lastly, the price, don't invest to much. Save the money and splurge on a pair for fall.
