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!

NYFW Backstage Beauty: Charlotte Ronson

For her Spring 2010 collection, Charlotte Ronson was inspired by the ballerinas of New York, specifically the way they look when leaving dance class and mix their dance attire with their regular clothes. To enhance this motif, hair stylist Allen Ruiz from Avon and makeup artist Charlotte Willard for Maybelline created just-walked-out-of-dance-class looks that were fresh and natural-looking. The hair was pulled back into chic, slightly undone buns and the makeup was kept soft, sheer and translucent. I got the chance to hang out backstage before the show to talk to the stylists and watch the looks come to life.
