I hope none of you ever find out first hand how it is to fight breast cancer. I have seen my friend do it, and all I can say is that it takes guts, strength and a lot of support. As October is the Breast cancer awareness month, it's time for all of us to show support for all the women going through recovery, and all the people being there for them.

One of the nice ways to do this is to buy some of the designer goods designed specially to promote breast cancer awareness, and that way donate some money to organizations dealing with preventing, detecting and treating breast cancer as well as supporting women going through it. Elle says:

"This October, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, A-list labels and designers are pulling out the stops like never before, with sales of more products than ever earmarked toward supporting a wide variety of breast cancer organizations."

As this is indeed a fashion and style site, I can warmly recommend:

	The Coach Gallery Breast Cancer Watch has three interchangeable bezels: Swarvoski crystal, pink Signature pattern, pink enamel. Available for $398 at Coach, $100 will go to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation
	Ralph Lauren Pink Pony Hooded Sweatshirt would be wonderful to wear when going casual, yet fashion conscious. Looks like an item Gabby Solis from the Housewives would wear! Yours for $135 at Ralph Lauren. Percentage will go to help fight breast cancer.
	Fragments Pink Opal Touchstone Necklace is just lovely. The stone is wrapped with delicate freshwater pearls and gold beading suspended on a 22" 14K gold vermeil hoop chain with heart-shaped clasp. Get yours at Fragments for 125. 15% of the price goes to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
	Inhabit cashmere Cardigan will give you the warmth in the cool morning dew. The rose color is going to compliment each and every complexion. Available at Inhabit for $328. 50% of the earnings will go to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
