Pink Ribbon Day
October 22, 2012 in Lifestyle
October is home to two very worthy fundraisers: Frocktober, which raises money for ovarian cancer research and Pink Ribbon Day (today!), which aims to raise breast cancer awareness as well as funds for research.
Our friend Kim-Marie of Kimba Likes has been blogging her Frocktober journey and has raised $300 for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.
Every day this week, Sonia and I will be adding a pop of pink to our outfits and sharing a photo on Instagram. We would love to have you join us. Simply snap a photo of yourself wearing something pink and share it on Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #AChicPinkRibbonWeek
Here are a few picks to get you started…
(Products in bold are Pink Ribbon products. A portion of the sale goes directly to NBCF – the National Breast Cancer Foundation)
1. Maxwell and Williams Pink Ribbon Cup & Saucer from Robin’s Kitchen ($14.95) // 2. ‘Teenage Dream’ from Hello Darling ($20.95) // 3. Dove Pink Ribbon Bodywash from Priceline ($6.99) // 4. Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Peony Set from Bobbi Brown ($70.00) // 5. 2012 NBCF Pink Volley from Volley ($35.00) // 6. Cambridge Satchel Company Satchel in Neon Pink from Modcloth ($154.99)
Apart from popping a dose of pink every day this week, Sonia and I are doing our little bit and aiming to raise $150 to the NBCF. We would really appreciate any amount you could donate, no matter how small.
Will you be joining us for a chic week of pink? Are you raising money for either Frocktober or Pink Ribbon Day?
Stay Chic,
Melinda xx

Oh, thanks for featuring my Frocktober journey, girlie whirlies!
I am today wearing purple-pink tights and will be donning a pink lipstick too. I totally ran out of time to paint my nails in the OPI Breast Cancer fundraiser I Think in Pink yesterday, but plan to do it today whilst supervising homework. I’m a multitasking mama!
I am in need of a pretty pink blush so I’m so going to swing by Bobbi Brown this morning and pick up that little beauty.
Have a pinktastic day! Love Kimba xxx
Thanks for your support also, Kim-Marie! This is certainly going to be a pinktastic week! S. xx
I love pink and I love all the Pink Ribbon products that come out for such a wonderful cause. I’ll be buying up big and wearing pink for sure. Rachel xx
It’s a fantastic cause, that’s for sure…and a great excuse to pink it up! S. xx
I am supporting Frocktober on my blog and donating to those who are taking part … every bit helps x
Every bit certainly does help for these fantastic causes, Nikki. And you certainly know how to rock a frock! S. xx
