Breast Cancer Awareness Month: More Ideas For Giving Back While Looking Great

As October reigns crisp and cool, the leaves may be turning to earthy shades of red, yellow, and burnt orange, but many of our favorite brands and designers are turning distinctly pink! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which means there are more ways than ever to lend your support to the fight for a cure. Check out how we’re shopping and staying super-chic for the cause.

 

For the gadget goddess: This month, one of the fashion industry’s most iconic entrepreneurs–the amazing Tory Burch–has partnered with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to raise awareness and funds in high style. Tech-savvy and socially conscious moms will love the bold look of this limited-edition Pink Hardshell iPhone case–and delight in the fact that Tory is donating 15% of the profits from this cute case to the BCRF.
