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

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

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

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!

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!

Show Your Support For Breast Cancer Awareness With A Tee!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but this is an issue that should be brought to light at all times. In an effort to spread the word, designers have been coming out with some simple and flattering t-shirt designs that can be worn way past the month of October to remind all of us of this worthy cause. Many of the t-shirt designs still show the recognizable pink ribbon and use the bubble-gum pink color that we've all come to associate with Breast Cancer Awareness, but in an effort to reach a larger audience, designers are also introducing looks that include more versatile colors, trendy details and cute graphics that still sound as a voice for the Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation, allowing you to wear these tees for numerous occasions. Not only would the message for awareness be seen more often, but a large percentage (50% to 100%) of the proceeds are donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, helping spread the word for prevention and funding the search for a cure. Even celebrities like Nicky Hilton, Sophia Bush and others are jumping on the Breast Cancer awareness bandwagon and have designed shirts to help spread the word. Check out the slideshow to shop our favorite tees and help raise awareness in the process.

Think Pink! Wear Your Support For Breast Cancer Awareness On Your Shirt!

Well, it's that time again and no, for once I'm not talking about pulling out those fall jackets and boots to combat the changing seasons. I'm talking about Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Every October, the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month organization (NBCAM) highlights this serious women's health issue to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, and cure. This year, designers and related organizations have created a slew of great t-shirts and tanks for you to wear and tell the world what's important to you. Check this out- for the past 15 years, Ralph Lauren has shown his support with his Pink Pony Campaign-- a line completely devoted to the cause in which all of the proceeds go towards breast cancer research and prevention. So, what's a better way to show your support for breast cancer awareness than to display it on your shirt? Spread the awareness, show your support, and look good while doing it with these hot tees that make the ultimate fashion statement. Check them out in my SLIDESHOW!
