FabSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Besides hosting Halloween, October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It affects millions of women in the world - including these courageous celebrities. This exclusive Breast Cancer Awareness Necklace ($58), by Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James, tops my list of awesome, cause-worthy finds. I'm smitten with the simplistic design and the rose gold leaf is beautiful. What a fashionable way to show your support to breast cancer.

Marilyn Minter's Green Pink Caviar Tote Bag: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

If Marilyn Minter's sticky and sweet Green Pink Caviar video for Madonna left you wanting more, check out this Marilyn Minter Tote Bag ($48). The still image of the tongue in full thrust - complete with gold goo - isn't as crazy as the video scene, but it's still racy. In fact, if you buy the tote this month, proceeds will go to Bright Pink, a nonprofit breast and ovarian cancer organization. Charitable indeed, but is that enough to make you want to purchase it?

The auf-wiedersehen extraordinaire will be this year's ambassador; Kors designed the cute fuchsia and white limited-edition tee. “It’s important that we all work continuously to find the cure for cancer and to find answers,” said Klum. “This year’s t-shirt is fabulous and not just because Michael, my fashion inspiration and great friend, designed it." The tee, $40, will be available at Saks Fifth Avenue stores Oct. 1 with proceeds going to charity. Awesome. If you want to do your part, shop at Saks Oct. 15-18; the retailer plans to donate 2 percent of sales to the cause.

L'Occitane's Blind Ambition

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 23:48:06 -0700

Lots of companies create products to benefit Breast Cancer Awareness Month, including skincare brand L’Occitane en Provence, which is donating 15 percent of sales from its Limited Edition Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream, available here for $36, to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. But the earthy French cosmetics company also has another pet cause: helping the blind.

Startlingly, nearly every single one of L'Occitane's products comes complete with Braille labeling, to make shopping more accessible for customers without the sense of sight. Occasionally, it also releases special-edition products and donates the proceeds to blind charities. Most notably, it even runs its own summer perfume school for blind teenagers at the company's headquarters in Provence, to help the students hone their senses of smell.

I don't know about you, but I'm far more inclined to support companies when I know they are contributing to a good cause. If you've never tried L'Occitane's products, you're missing a luxurious and sweet-smelling experience. Here are some of my picks from L'Occitane products.

Relaxing Lavender, Tea Tree, and Geranium Foaming Bath, $30, available here.
