Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is officially Breast Cancer Awareness month. Breast cancer research is a cause near and dear to my heart – I have family, friends and colleagues who have and are battling this awful disease. I am committed to making a difference and I’m honored to team up with some amazing partners to spread awareness this month!

TIEKS

If you’re unfamiliar with Tieks, they are the creators of these adorable foldable flats that I LIVE in! They are made of the finest Italian leather and fold up so you can carry them basically anywhere. Tieks is promoting their pink ballerina flat this month and is committed to educating women about early detection and self exams for Breast Cancer. I’m so excited to be a part of this and to share with all of you! Visit Tieks today to get you pair and support breast cancer research!

Accessory Concierge

Accessory Concierge not only has an amazing Jewelry collection they are so supportive of breast cancer research. They created some fabulous pieces just for the cause and is donating 20% of the proceeds to breastcancerfund.org. This is just one of the great cuffs that they created. I love the saying “Fight like a girl”…the meaning of this has TOTALLY changed through the years and any boy who has fought against a girl knows that it is a losing battle – don’t mess with us breast cancer… we will prevail!!
