Breast Cancer Awareness Products

Hello!
As some of us may know, October is breast cancer awareness month. 230,480 women will get breast cancer in 2011 in the US alone. I have personally been affected by breast cancer with my grandmother and a friends mom having suffered from this disease. Luckily, they both won their battle with cancer. I am all for giving back and to be able to do it in a fashionable way is even better. Here are products that give back to breast cancer awareness and you can show off your fight for the cure.
This Lacoste braided bracelet goes for $48. They donate 10% during the month of October to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Look for less, Stella McCartney

Hey!
So I was browsing online and came across a dress that I had this emiphany that I saw on a celeb before. So after some quick research I figured out that Kate Winslet wore a similar Stella McCartney dress to the 'Mildred Piere' Premiere. I am all about getting a deal on a look. Finding a dress that looks like a designers is like finding love.

Here is Kate Winslet in the dress.

 This is the look from the runway show. (Kate Winslet is wearing a different number, they're both from same line though.)

And here is the knockoff version! This is from Asos and goes for $104.76. Both looks have the black, sweetheart neck, the black poka dot mesh sleeves, and the peplum. 

Got to love finding a (designer) look for less!

Perfect outwear for fall!!

Hello!
Fall is officially here. The leaves are changing colors and starting to fall to the ground. Ultimately the temperature have  begun to plummet to the freezing marks. It is time to break out the outwear and brace the freezing temperatures and nipping winds. Here are the cutest jackets for the winter months that are totally chic.
This HM vest with faux fur trim goes for $49.95. It comes in black and beige. I love wearing wearing vests and they are perfect for layering. Pair it with jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt or a sweatshirt and it's totally perfect. Vests are the perfect to wear part of your outwear indoors.

This Pixie Market vest foes for $140. This jacket comes with the faux fur trim and has a quilted pattern. I love how easy this vest is and it is lined for extra warmth. This is the vest that can turn into a layering piece and not just a jacket for warmth. 

This Kristen Blake faux fur vest goes for $110. This is taking fur to the next level with a complete fur vest. It is faux fur so PETA won't be all over you. I love the colors and design that is in the fur. The belt is an added bonus to synch in your waist too!



This HM puffer jacket goes for $49.95 and comes in black, blue, and light grey. Puffer jackets are totally adorable and give you extra volume (perfect to hide extra winter flab!). Love how this has the synched in belt to keep you fashionable and highlights your waist.

This BB Dakota Josie jacket goes for $139 and comes in the color pictured. I love this jacket from the shapes to the asymmetrical front, snap enclosures, and belt. This jacket looks a designer jacket without the designer price tag. 
This Obey denim jacket goes for $220. Jean jackets should be a fall jacket staple. Some fall days aren't as chilly and you can pull off a jean jacket with an outfit to keep warm. Pair it with a dress, leggings, or sweater+tight combo for perfect look.

This Sparkle and Fade leather jacket goes for $129. Leather jackets are the perfect staple for every season and give you that tough chick vibe. They're the perfect way to edge up an outfit or to seem more bad ass. The asymmetrical zipper makes it an unexpected twist as well.
This Urban 1972 blazer goes for $67. I love blazers and you can pair them with everything to give your look a more sophisticated vibe. For the coming months keep your blazer alive and add a scarf, hat, glove combo to keep warm. Go beyond the black blazer to the cremes, beiges, and even a pop of color.


This Anthropology cape goes for $188. I am dying over caps this season and they are the perfect jacket. I really how this can be turned into a unique twist on a blazer if you undo the buttons and loosen the belt. I don't usually wear colors but this chocolate and mustard color is totally cute. Plaid is always a must for fall so you get two trends in one.

This Ascot swing coat goes for $168. This is the perfect fall jacket and totally reminds me of what Blair would wear on "Gossip Girl". This mustard color gives you a pop of color and totally mixes it up. The bow on top draws your eye up to you (gorg) face, plus bows are hot right now.



This Asos pleated trench is on sale for $61.11. Trenches are great coats especially when the weather isn't in the negatives yet. I love how this trench has the pleated skirt and double breasted buttons. Add a belt and you may just be able to wear this as a dress instead of just a trench!

This Topshop jacket goes for $159. This wool duffle coat comes in this aubergine color with detachable hood. I really love the wood barrel fastens on it and it reminds me of something off the European countryside.

This Marlene Birger poncho goes for $435. Loving ponchos for this season as well. They are the perfect snuggle outfit, warm sweater, or coverup to throw on. I love the little bow belt in the middle and the pom poms at the bottom. This poncho can be a designer blanket or your comfy poncho. Pair with skinnies or tights+sweater dress combo for perfect fall/winter look.

As you can see there are a ton of varieties of outwear for the upcoming months. With the impending drop in temperatures one must be prepared to fight the cold with the best jackets possible. Get your puffer, poncho, or cape ready!
