Oh where, oh where have I been all summer? you ask… well, the only scooping I’ve been doing all summer has been of my favorite dulce de leche gelato in between accomplishing some personally monumental tasks like moving my entire life, home and family from Los Angeles back to the San Francisco Bay Area. Many thanks all my muses and readers in Southern California for you inspired me to pursue my labor of love. However, it was time for me to retire my Juicy track suit and go back home. However, I will forever wear flip flops throughout the entire year in your honor.Now back to business. October is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month and you can support this worthy cause and the many breast cancer research, advocacy and charitable groups by buying any of the beautiful products I'll feature this month, many of which were created by emerging and notable designers specifically for this cause. So the timing is perfect to be settling
into my new Berkeley loft so that I can start thinking pink.Speaking of loft though, Ann Taylor LOFT brought together three of its favorite jewelry designers - Robin Renzi for Me&Ro, Kara Ross and Anna Sheffield – to create exclusive accessories benefitting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Ann Taylor Loft will donate $5 from the sale of each of these pieces. I really love the mosaic bracelet (right, US$29.63 after 25% discount) created by Kara Ross. And I just bought the Anna Sheffield necklace (bottom, US$34.50) in their store (appears to be sold out online).
Also if you buy a $25 LOFTcares card, you will get 20% off your purchase of $100 or more and 90% of the card’s purchase will go to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. And
everytime you spend $100 or more through November 15th, show your card and get 20% off your entire purchase (perhaps a great way to get some early holiday shopping done). I really love some of the pieces in their new collection like the Sujean tote. It is so charming, the picture reminds me of my youngest sister and I'm quite fond of the name (top left, US$22.13 after 25% discount). So go do some smart shopping for a cause.[Please note this posting was corrected from it's original on 10.04.10; the LOFTcares card is not a gift card, but a special discount card which permits you to get 20% of purchases of $100 or more; please see details on their website.]
