Get The Winning Look From Our 'Think Pink!' Celeb Poll!

image
It's Breast Cancer Awareness month and celebs and us mere mortals alike are doing what we can to raise awareness and funds for research. With a number of Breast Cancer Awareness events popping up all over the place, we're also seeing many of our fave celebs showing up in pink ensembles.


Last week we asked you to tell us who you thought looked the best in their pink-for-a-cause outfit and the resounding winner was Desperate Housewives star, Marcia Cross. While Busy Philipps looked pretty in a sparkly pink mini and Jennifer Garner really showed her support with some hot pink pieces, Marcia Cross managed to look sophisticated and youthful in her pink get-up.


A simple sheath in a shocking pink hue was equal parts classic and modern, while delicate metallic sandals played up her pretty dress without overpowering. A simple and sleek bangle to mirror her shoes also helped pull the look together while still allowing the bright hue of her dress to take center-stage.


Click on the slideshow to see how to get this look for less than designer prices, as well as some other super stylish pieces that help the cause!

Think Pink! Which Star Wore It Best?

image
It's Breast Cancer Awareness month and this serious subject is gaining more and more attention both in and out of Hollywood. In an effort to raise awareness and funding for research, celebs have been showing their support to an array of Breast Cancer Awareness events decked out in different hues of pinks! We've got Busy Philipps, Jennifer Garner and Marcia Cross in a pink line-up. While all the stars looked great and we must applaud them for caring, we have to ask ... who looked the best in their pink ensemble?


Busy Phillips literally sparkles in a light pink glittery mini and strappy gold sandals while Jennifer Garner goes for a clean and classic look with a hot pink tank and white skirt, edged out with a cluster of pearls. Marcia Cross shows that she's no 'desperate housewife' in a shocking pink dress of clean lines and paired with delicate metallic heels.


Who gets your vote for wearing this color for a cause the best? Let us know by taking the poll below!



And check back on Tuesday for when we announce the poll winner and show you how to get her look, plus other Breast Cancer Awareness fashion items that let you help in style!

Hot In The Hive: Clinique BCA "Great Lips, Great Cause" Keychain

image
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month , Clinique, among a variety of other supportive beauty brands, is doing their part to spread awareness and benefit the cause with limited edition products sold exclusively at Sephora. Their BCA "Great Lips, Great Cause" Keychain is a pink ribboned product that actually does give back (because we've seen too many items for sale this month that don't donate any proceeds!); in fact, $10 of the $19 price tag is donated to BCRF! And if the sake of the great cause isn't enough motivation to buy, the keychain itself is totally cute and comes equipped with three of Clinique's top-selling Long Last Glosswear shades! You can't go wrong with a good bargain that's also a good deed! Grab one quick while it's still October!


Price: $19
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add Clinique's BCA Lipgloss Keychain to the Hive.

Vintage Fashionistas Are Thinking Pink in October

image
For more than 20 years, October has been internationally known as Breast Cancer Month. It's a time for people, organizations and businesses to rally together to raise money for this cause, without forgetting, of course, that breast cancer strikes millions of men and women each year, and not just in October. The color pink was selected as a symbol for this fight. Why? Because while the vulnerability of this color represents the fear, pain, uncertainty and loss felt by those struck by breast cancer, pink's brightness also symbolizes the hope and strength found in each victim's personal fight. And while you might choose to don the now-famous pink ribbon to show your support this month, you might choose to go all out in all pink, too. If that's the case, click the slideshow for a selection of fabulous vintage finds in all some beautiful shades of pink.

Betsey Johnson Given the National Arts Club's Highest XOX

image
What do you give a woman who has been a style icon for almost 50 years, can call Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, and the Velvet Underground her intimate friends, and has spawned a fashion empire that remains beloved by women of almost every generation today? If you're the National Arts Club in New York City, you just add to the list of designer Betsey Johnson's superlatives by bestowing on her your highest award, the Medal of Honor for Lifetime Achievement. And so it was that NYC's cultural and fashion glitterati gathered on Tuesday, October 3 to fete one of fashion's timeless dynamos. People from all walks of life filled the room: young/old, white/black, bookish/fashion die-hards. Yet everyone wearing a Betsey frock--or tights, or perfume, or shoes, which people were not shy about disclosing-- possessed the spirit and energy that infuses all of Betsey's creations: fearless, vivacious, and just plain fun. The designer herself bounded around the room greeting old and new friends, and there was more than one request for her to complete one of her signature cartwheels (she declined). With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Johnson a breast cancer survivor, special attention was also paid to her substantial contributions in the fight against the disease. Surrounded by family, colleagues, and tons of admirers, Betsey was clearly floored and over the moon. "It doesn't get better than this," she said. For us, too, Betsey--thank you and xox! Check out the slideshow for flicks from Betsey's award night.

Show Your Support For Breast Cancer Awareness With A Pink Ribbon Tote!

image
Just because October is already half over doesn't mean it's too late to jump on the pink ribbon trend in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Whether you or someone you know has been affected by breast cancer, or you just want to lend a helping hand to fellow females, you don't need to completely douse yourself in pink or deck yourself out in ribbons to show your steadfast support. A breast cancer relief-themed tote is a simply stylish way to spread awareness and share your hope for the cure, and a practical way to donate that nearly anyone can afford -- after all, every little bit counts! Show off your pink pride with your sporty side with this cinch tote, or go for a slightly more subtle (and slightly more costly) alternative with Coach's BCRF Leather Tote. But hey, there's no better reason to surrender your wallet to a splurge than a seriously good cause! Check out the slideshow for some cute carry-alls that are both practical and philanthropic!
