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.

    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.

Every time I see the Ailey company, I am inspired, moved, and grounded in the beauty and complexity of the African American experience.  Photo by Paul Kolnik For me, the highlight is always "Revelations," Mr. Ailey's three-part ode to his upbringing in the Black Baptist church. The three sections -- "Pilgrim of Sorrow"; "Take Me to the Water"; and "Move, Members, Move" -- tell the story of African American faith and persistence from slavery to freedom. Over the weekend,  I had the pleasure of taking an outdoor Community Workshop in downtown Brooklyn, where we learned some of the choreography for "Revelations." I beamed from ear to ear...
