Vintage Fashionistas Are Thinking Pink in October

Mary Kincaid on Oct 23, 2009 10:21 AM PDT

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.

Show Your Support For Breast Cancer Awareness With A Pink ...

Alex Gambardella on Oct 15, 2009 2:58 PM PDT

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!
