4 Fashionable Pink Ribbon Items for Breast Cancer Awareness

Who needs a reason to shop? Especially when it's for a good cause.  So here are four fashionable ways to help raise awareness and benefit breast cancer research.

Fergie Hope shoe, $45
1. HauteLook and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation are hosting a Pink Weekend Sale Sept. 30 to Oct. 2.  Items on sale range from lip gloss and a flat iron to designer jewelry and handbags.

2. Step out in style wearing the Hope shoe from the Fergie Footwear Fall 2010 collection. Fergie's Hope shoe ($45; half its original retail price) will be available during the QVC presents "FFANY Shoes on Sale" event on Oct. 15th.  All the net proceeds of the Hope shoe -- and the 100,000-plus pairs of shoes donated by footwear companies to QVC -- go to breast cancer research.  To date "FFANY Shoes on Sale" has sold more than one million pairs of shoes and donated more than $32.5 million in net proceeds to breast cancer research.

3. Show  your support for breast cancer with a Chic Glamour bracelet by Swarovski Crystallized ($58). Adorned with Swarovski Elements, this pretty pink bracelet is available during the month of October.

4. Lash out against breast cancer with RevitaLash (check website for pricing).  The product was created by an ophthalmologist after his wife's eyelashes were devastated by chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer.  RevitaLash's parent company, Athena Cosmetics, has donated $10,000 to support forward-looking breast cancer research projects.

    I love Fergie's pink shoes. I could not believe that the shoes cost for only $45. It's a great idea to donate some of the proceeds to breast cancer research.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and...

DanceAfrica 2024 Returns to Brooklyn Academy of Music

The DanceAfrica Bazaar is one of my favorite annual street fairs. I love to watch folks show up and show out in their flyest Afrocentric garb and to shop for handmade beaded bracelets and earrings from the African vendors.  And when I'm fortunate enough to snag a ticket as I did this year courtesy of BAM, I enjoy watching the kinetic African dancers (this time the country featured is Cameroon) during the spirited and spirit-filled DanceAfrica performance at the Howard Gilman Opera House.   (Photos courtesy of BAM/Tony Turner) If you want to join in the fun, here's the weekend lineup that's truly for the culture.
