WantWorthy.com Teams With Bloggers to Support Breast Cancer Research




Back in April, I told you about WantWorthy.com, a cool new site that lets you save items you love from anywhere on the web and compile them into easy-to-use lists. Now that it's October, WantWorthy asked ten of their favorite bloggers (myself included!) to pull together the pink products they love for a cause that's important to us all - Breast Cancer Research. The best part? Buy something from any one of our lists and 10% of your purchases will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Check out my pink list here and be sure to browse the other bloggers' lists, too, including chic picks from ...Love Maegan, The Looks for Less, I Am Style-ish and more.

Giambattista Valli for Macy's Impulse




Images of the Giambattista Valli capsule collection for Macy's are finally out, and there's a lot of red, pink and leopard print lusciousness to love. Priced on average from $50-$100, the collection is the fourth and final capsule collection of the year for Macy's fashion-forward Impulse department. For more info, head to macys.com/impulse where fans have been able to preview all the looks and vote on their favorites for a couple days now (thanks to my Tweep @alnike86 for the tip on that!). My fave pieces include the red puff sleeve leopard dress and the sleeveless leopard shift dress. Which items are you eying?
