October. Not only do I love Fall (although HATE what comes after...the "W" word. Yuk!) for the coziness of it~hoodies, sweats, boots, hot chocolate, baking apple pies/crisp, etc, BUT it is also Breast Cancer Awareness month. Companies make it SO EASY now to get fashionable products while helping out a great cause, because lets face it....in this economy, not many of us have the $$ to donate to a good cause AND still shop.
I thought I'd make it easy for those of us on a budget to see a bunch of these products all in one spot, so we can shop for a cause! :)
Hadley, from JustFab (who now has Kimora Lee Simmons as their President & Creative Director!) is a super cute way to support the cause, with 100% of its profits going to Triple Step Toward the Cure! Even better: NEW JustFab customers get 50% off their 1st purchase! So you can get Hadley for just $20!!
ShoeDazzle has 5 products that they'll donate 10% of the profits to Susan G. Komen! I ordered Beth last year....MUCH nicer looking in person! Very cute bootie! This year, I ordered Zoom, which arrived yesterday (pic below)! Zoom is definitely going to be my weekend-running errands shoe! :) ShoeDazzle also offers a discount for NEW customers! Last I knew, it was 20% off your 1st purchase, but lately I've heard of people getting 50% off. If you decide to join/order, let me know what discount you get!!

Save the Tatas has a "Pink Hair Project" going on! For those who can't afford to shop (or just don't like/want/need any of the items) you can choose a donation amount (as little as $.99!!) and submit a picture of yourself. Within 24-48 hrs, you will receive your pic back, but with PINK hair! Then, share it on Facebook, Twitter, etc & encourage your friends to join you...hey, its only $.99! Too silly for you? Save the Tatas also have shirts/hoodies, keychains, water bottles/travel mugs, etc!
