Shop For A Cure: Breast Cancer Awareness

Oct09_HEIDI_300x399.jpgOne 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.

Aside from purchasing products that donates portions of their sales to Breast Cancer Awareness, there are various ways you can take part to help the cause. Here are a some retailers that are hosting in-store and on-line events benefiting Breast Cancer Awareness. I would greatly appreciate it if you take a look and perhaps participate in some of the events.

Hollywood celebrities, fashion designers and other companies have always done their part in helping various charitable events and fundraiser benefiting breast cancer awareness and research. KitcnenAid (shown below) offers a series of pink 'Cook for A Cure' kitchen appliances, Anne Klein has adorable accessories (shown above) and online boutique Shopbop partnered with celebs like Nicky Hilton and Denise Richards to design special edition tees with proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Let us show our support by purchasing 'pink' products, donating and participating in events or as small as wearing a pink ribbon not just for October but year round. For more info on how you can help go to Pink Ribbon International and Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Purple Reigned In New York

With New York Fashion Week behind us. Key trends for spring flourished on the runways. It was evident that purple was a color to watch for next spring. The rich palette was present in both men and women's collections. Men's suits at Michael Kors and evening gowns at Marchesa, purple was there. I personally like purple. It has a sensual look to it. So, next spring not only we would see purple bloom in flowerbeds it will be in fashion as well.

The Smart Stylist's Fall Fragrance Top Picks

fallscents9.png
Miss Dior Cherie 1.7 oz $72.00, Michael Kors 'Very Hollywood' 1.7 oz $65.00, Juicy Couture 'Couture Couture' 1.7 oz $85.00, Jo Malone Vanilla&Anise 3.4 0z $100.00, D&G 'L Imperatrice' 3.4 oz $65.00

After testing 20 women's fragrance, 9 fragrances stood out and made the list of my top picks for fall. I had some criteria that put all the fragrances to the test luxurious, wearable, sensual,  feminine and opulent. If I have to pick my faves, they are Marc Jacobs 'Lola', Michael Kors 'Very Hollywood' and D&G 'L Imperatrice', all three tickled my olfactory nerve and just can't stop smelling them. I have to commend Jessica Simpson's 'Fancy Love', it scored very well beating out some luxury designer fragrances. As always, whatever season it is, wear lighter scents during the day and bolder at night.
