October, also known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month is fast approaching, which means you have a great reason to shop for some new treats. New, as well as tried-and-true products from favorite brands will help support a worthy cause, and make treating yourself feel twice as good.
Totes Breast Cancer Awareness Umbrella, (£5.00)
In a sea of boring black umbrellas on an already dreary rainy day, having a pop of color is always nice. Especially when that color is hot pink. On October 1, Totes will release a Breast Cancer Awareness Umbrella for only £5.00. Best of all, 10% of all proceeds is split between two breast cancer charities.
Kat&Bee Flore and Benedita Rings (Available October 1)
If you fancy some adorable new jewelry, look no further than Kat&Bee’s Flore and Benedita Rings (Available October 1). For the month of October, both rings, which feature lovely pink roses, will be available for purchase. With 25% of sales to be donated to support breast cancer research, the only hard choice you’ll have will be deciding which one you fancy more. (When in doubt, just get both…right?)
heidi klein Rio de Janeiro Collection (£95.00-298.00)
In desperate need of some tropical solace from the dreary Autumn weather? If yes, then you probably need some gorgeous new beachwear as well. For the month of October, beach bunnies missing the sunshine will be able to purchase any piece from heidi klein’s Rio de Janiero Collection (£95.00-£208.00) with 20% of all proceeds going towards Breast Cancer Care, which offers support to women battling the disease. Whether you prefer a bikini, one piece, or cover-up, you’ll look beach-ready in this fun, colorful print.
Henry Holland Stand Up To Cancer Bespoke Charm Band (£5.00)
British designer Henry Holland is joining the fight against cancer, releasing a new, limited edition charm band to support the Stand Up To Cancer campaign. The Henry Holland Stand Up To Cancer Bespoke Charm Band (£5.00) is available online, and will also be sold via House of Holland, House of Fraser, F. Hinds, as well as ASOS.com for one week. The designer says, “I’m Standing Up To Cancer for all the members of my family who have been affected. I wanted to design something that represented the fight to stamp out this horrible disease for good. By wearing the Band as a symbol of your solidarity you can join us on the frontline in the fight against cancer, and raise as much money as possible to get innovative new treatments to patients faster.” All proceeds from each bracelet purchased will be going to the Stand Up To Cancer campaign.
