Fashion For A Cause: Miami Bloggers Unite to Raise Funds To Fight Breast Cancer

I teamed up with Bloomingdale's Aventura, and some of Miami's most fashion forward bloggers to once again, help raise funds to find a cure and fight breast cancer.  As some of you have seen on my Instagram, I am dedicated to helping spread awareness and letting you guys know how you can help contribute to the BCRF and to fighting this disease. There's a fundraising effort taking place on October 22nd, 2016 that's going to be a lot of fun.  On that day, Bloomingadale's Aventura will host a fashion show with some Miami bloggers. You'll also have a chance to see all of the images from this campaign, like the ones I'm featured in down below, shot by the beautiful and very talented Danielle Margherite (@Dmargherite on social).  You can shop, grab some snacks, and pick up this commemorative Donald Robertson sweatshirt. Proceeds benefit the BCRF. Keep reading to watch a video of the behind the scenes actions for this cause shot and edited by videographer Bing (@TheBingstagram). 

Black and White

I hardly ever take this dress out to play. It's so pretty but in Miami, it just doesn't feel right for many occasions. In New York City, though, and for Fashion Week, it was perfect for many events. PS: My lip color is ColourPop Dopey. Street style photos by GissiJ.

Do you guys have a favorite piece that you never wear? 

Shoes: here.

Pamella Roland SS17

The Pamella Roland collection for SS17 was an ethereal, pretty line. The collection was made up of sleek, body hugging gowns, with elegant silhouettes. It also included gorgeous ball gowns (check out the one pictured below!).  Intricate details, like feathers, beading, and textured fabrics were also prominent.  The dresses floated across the runway and the show was a dream to watch. A gorgeous collection, overall.

Jouviance, Affordable Skincare

Talking skin woes in today's post. I am very fair and avoid the sun because it causes discoloration in my skin. Despite wearing lots of sunscreen, I noticed that in my 30's, I started to get little brown spots after being out in the sun. They're most prominent on my forehead, close to my hairline, and the areas around the corners of my eyes. Anyone with this issue knows they're very difficult to fade absent a costly trip to the dermatologist. 

Jouviance is a Canadian skincare line sold exclusively at CVS with a more affordable price point than department stores.  They're most well known for their at-home 5% and 10% glycolic peels.

GO PINK! PRODUCTS YOU CAN PURCHASE TO HELP FIND A CURE #BCAStrength

As all of you know, October is breast cancer awareness month. Everyone has been affected in one way or another, by this disease.  Throughout the month of October, I will be posting different blogs on how you can help raise funds to fight this cancer.

Today, I'm highlighting the PINK RIBBON PRODUCTS. 

The Estee Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Awareness campaign has been going strong since its inception in 1992.  Fifteen of the Estee Lauder Beauty companies have launched Pink Ribbon Products. Pink Ribbon Products are beauty items that you can purchase whose proceeds go directly towards breast cancer research.  Estee Lauder beauty partners with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), and that's where the funds will go.

Participating brands include Tom Ford, Prescriptives, La Mer, Smashbox, Origins, Clinique, Jo Malone, Bobbi Brown, Bumble & Bumble and more. I'm detailing the products below and letting you know exactly how much of your purchase becomes a donation.  The largest donations will come from the Estee Lauder Pink Perfection Color Collection (100% of the proceeds), and Jo Malone (which will make a lump sum donation of $45,000 irrespective of product purchases), and Tom Ford Beauty which will donate a lump sum of $50,000.
