It's about time to trade our runway vanity for some conscious shopping.
Fashion weeks from New York to Paris are officially over! Until we can flaunt Spring/Summer 2016 designs, how about warming up our Fall wardrobe with a splash of pink to raise awareness and support breast cancer research ?

"Pinktober" is Breast Cancer Awareness month: a colorful reminder for women to get their first or annual breast exam, as well as the opportunity to be involved in the battle against the disease year-round. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the US. According to The American Cancer Society, in 2015 about 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed and approximately 40,290 women will die from breast cancer in United States.
