...not just a woman's issue || Thinking Pink

Although the end of breast cancer awareness month gradually approaches, there is still time to do your part in the fight against breast cancer by shopping! Here are some of my favorite picks and the organizations that these designers/ products support

Designer: Jaclyn Smith
Product: the Jaclyn Smith Anniversary Collection
Being a breast cancer survivor, herself, this cause hits close to home for Jaclyn Smith. And so, for every piece purchased from her Limited Edition Apparel Collection, Kmart will make a donation to Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). These pieces are easily identifiable by the pink ribbon- and range from $24.99 to $89.99

Product: Diana Pink Studded Lambskin Bag
I absolutely love this studded leather flap front cross body bag. 50% of the proceeds of this baby pink beauty will be donated to Young Survival Coalition (YSC); a global organization dedicated to ensuring that no young woman is left to face breast cancer alone.

Company: Clinique
Product: Limited Edition Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
The truly dramatically different moisturizing lotion comes with a collectible key ring with a pink ribbon heart and a Clinique “C” charm for $35. It also includes a free pink ribbon pin and a bookmark with key breast health tips. For each purchase, $10 goes to BCRF

Company: Rumba Time

Look fashionable in this pink RumbaTime wristwatch while contributing to breast cancer research at the same time. The colorful rumba watch is $20 with 20% of proceeds from its sale (40% during October) being donated to BCRF

Company: Converse
Product: Chuck Taylor Pink All Star Hi-Top and Oxford
Converse is also partnering with BCRF for Breast cancer Awareness month and is donating $50,000 connected with sales of this chic and comfortable pink chucks that are currently being sold for $45

Designer: Ralph Lauren
Product: Ralph Lauren Pink Pony
For higher end items, shop Ralph Lauren Pink Pony. This year, Ralph Lauren enlisted 100 fashion bloggers to stylishly showcase their support of Pink Pony’s mission to benefit breast cancer prevention and care to medically under-served communities. 10% of all proceeds from Pink Pony benefit the Pink Pony Fund.

Estée Lauder || Thinking Pink

When it comes to breast cancer awareness, the Estée Lauder brand is one that has been actively involved in the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign since 1992. By distributing pink ribbons and informational brochures at counters in North American and around the globe, the brand works to raise awareness about breast cancer around the world. This month, Estée Lauder companies’ brands are selling Pink Ribbon products to raise funds and awareness for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF)- a foundation dedicated to preventing and finding a cure for breast cancer.

Their exclusive Pink Ribbon collection acts as great conversation starters and will create opportunities for women around the world to share stories, encourage screening and raise awareness. Apart from raising awareness, proceeds from the sales of this elegant pink collection will raise funds of up to $500,000 which will be donated to the BCRF. Check out the Estée Lauder pink ribbon collection. Where better to wear pink than on your lips?
