Breast Cancer Awareness Month

We are over halfway through October and Breast Cancer Awareness month is in full force. More Fashion Retailers and Beauty Companies than ever before have jumped on board and are generously donating a percentage  of sales of specially chosen pink items to the worthy cause. A staggering 125 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every day, and female breast cancer incidence rates have increased by around 50% over the last twenty-five years. However, the news is not all doom and gloom. With improved research and early detection, more women are surviving breast cancer than ever before. Below is my pick of the prettiest pink purchases where a donation will  be given to breast cancer research. Yay! So girls, with just over a week left until the end of October, you know what to splurge your end of month pay cheque on. Hurry...



                        1) Katia Lombardo Patent Peeptoe Platform with Pink Lacquered Sole. My absolute favourite of the offerings. 1940'S style peep toe with a modern Barbie edge. And a whopping 20% donated to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
 2) Keep cosy in this cashmere-blend pink coat from Coast @£180 and 10% going to Breakthrough Breast Cancer
. 3) Estee Lauder pink ribbon broach, £10 and it ALL goes to Breakthrough Breast Cancer. That's right readers, every penny.
4) Give your assets a lift in the Ultimo pink Icon Bra-£19 with 50p going to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
 5) Marks and Spencer scarf £15 with 10% going to Breakthrough Breast Cancer. (I'll take one of these to wear with the Kate Lombardo peeptoes please).
6) Last but not least, Cadburys have released this limited addition flake, 5 cent of which will be donated to Action Breast Cancer. Sadly these are only available in Ireland. I think they're worth the trip though. How often does an opportunity arise to eat chocolate, look stylish and give to charity?
