This adorably-cut, washed-out pin vintage-style tee is available from Lyric Culture ($90), and $25 from every sale goes to support City of Hope breast cancer research. The front says "I will survive" a'la Gloria Gaynor, with a lock and key design that draws on feminine symbolism and the female anatomy.

Denise Richards is a fan, saying:
"I am so excited to wear the "I will Survive" Lyric Culture tee shirt in support of Breast Cancer Research and City of Hope. Cancer research is vital in saving lives."

That may not be the most novel observation Denise has ever made, but we still like the shirt.

Lyric Culture has retro-chic line of clothing inspired by specific Motown and classic rock songs called Revolution. Some of the selections include Love Child, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and Born to be Wild. Check out some of our favorites below!

Phoenix Fashion Week (PFW), which kicks off October 1 and runs through the 4, has aligned itself with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation to bring more awareness to the cause as well as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October).

There are definitely some fun events to be had to raise money for the cure but the best is the "Perfectly Pink" collection by 18 year old Emily Miller. Miller is the youngest designer to ever show at PFW but you'd never know it by looking at her designs. She gathers inspiration from cultures and styles the world over and infuses it with the hope she sees in those who fight for the cure every day.

Her collection is so good in fact, that Miller got a prime spot at fashion week. Her collection will show at the kickoff party at the Royal Palms Resort and Spa. All proceeds of the celebration will be directly donated to charity.
A good heart and an incredible fashion sense? This isn't the last we'll see of this girl!

You know we love to shop. This is a style site, after all. But we love shopping for other people just as much as shopping for ourselves -- maybe more. But do you know what our favorite is? Shopping for fabulous products that benefit a cause close to our hearts!

Is there a hidden message on Miley's behind? She's wearing PRVCY Premium's "Monaco" jean, which we know she bought at Harmony Lane boutique in Beverly Hills this past weekend, because she doesn't have any privacy.

Other celebs substituting PRVCY for privacy? Hayden Panettiere, Eva Longoria Parker, Jessica Alba and Emmy Rossum are all fans of the new line.

We also hear that the brand donates 10% of its sales to breast cancer research. If you want to feel like you're living in the limelight and help a good cause along the way, you can get your own pair for $198 at www.shopharmonylane.com.

PiNKiTUDE sounds like the overwhelming urge to do an Elle Woods, but really it's the name of MGM's new cause related marketing initiative. The campaign, which aims to to educate young women about the importance of early detection and a healthy lifestyle, will run between now and October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The campaign includes a clothing line, improbably inspired by the Pink Panther. It gets some fashion cred from having the reliably classy Emmy Rossum as the official spokesperson. A percentage of the proceeds from the lines will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

There was a big launch on Saturday, with a PiNKiTUDE "Pop Up Store" private event at the XIN boutique on Melrose Ave. We're all for fashion that supports a great cause like this, so we hope it's a big success, and doesn't get too confused with Victoria Secret.

We could kind of say that we caught it with Kristen's post on this drool-worthy ring, but really, we almost missed the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Bestey Johnson fashion label.

Betsey and her business partner and CEO Chantal Bacon had a big bash last Friday to celebrate their long and successful collaboration, which officially started on Betsey's birthday, August 10, 1978.

She and Madonna pretty much defined style in the 80s and her signature look is just as fun and popular today as it was 30 years ago, with embellished skulls, ruffles and bright colors. To celebrate her anniversary and because of popular demand (the best reason, right?) this fall will see the release of the Betsey Johnson Vintage Collection.

Gwyneth Paltrow might have wowed us all during her Iron Man promos by wearing teeny, tiny dresses and giant heels, but the fashion-forward blond is getting ready to promote something else, this time wearing a t-shirt.

Usually we encourage ladies to keep their bra straps -- not to mention their bra cups -- well covered. But in this case, we are asking you to do the opposite. Even the rules of decorum can be lifted for a good cause.

Apparently, there's something special in the water over there that's making British women's breasts bigger.

Okay, so the increase in average size from 34B to 36C has nothing to do with the water, but neither does it have to do with an increase in plastic surgery.

According to experts, British breasts are growing due to a complex combination of factors ranging from diet, hormones and the environment. There has been an increased exposure to estrogen, the compound used in hormone replacement therapy. However, women are also exposed to the false hormone through the environment, and while the resulting larger breasts might be cosmetically desirable, estrogen has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer.

Additional factors that have increased British breast size are the increase in obesity which comes from diet and the increased consumption of alcohol.

Okay, so maybe my shoe addiction can aid in breast cancer research and education.

FFANY (Fashion Footwear Association of New York) has teamed up with Zappos (one of my favorite online destinations!) in an effort to raise funds that will go toward innovative breast cancer research and initiatives at hospitals and research centers around the US like the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) and the Gillette Center for Women's Cancers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

For every order on Zappos that originates from the fundraising site (ffany.zappos.com), Zappos will donate 15% of the net sale. What a great a reason to shop for more shoes!

My sisters swear by the Shiseido oil blotting papers - you know, the tiny rectangles of tissue that come in a baby blue - and will not rub their faces with anything else. However, if you happen to run out, Boscia makes a set of rosewater-infused oil-blotting papers that also support breast cancer research. The papers are made from 100% natural abaca leaf fiber, rose water, and gardenias. You can use both sides of the paper to blot away grease, sweat, and even your lipstick.

The Boscia Rose Blotting Papers (100 sheets per pack) are $10 at Beauty.com.

Remember back when I posted a few "tips" on how to fashionably fake-out fabulous looks? Amongst the shape-shifting, modesty-keeping, and high-beam avoiding, was something about shoes. Bascailly, a good tip is to go a half size bigger and create comfort in those 41/2" stiletto heels by secretly inserting cushions.

Foot Petals are perfect for that, and is the last couple of days of Breast Cancer Awareness, their Tip Toes in a cute pink heart shape wsupport not only your feet, but the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Tip Toes provide cushion for the balls of your feet where the pressure of your entire falls when you're wearing heels, and they help keep your feet from sliding forward in those impossibly high shoes.

Tip Toes are $6.95 a pair at Couture Candy.

Including today, we have three more days of October, but don't let the close of National Breast Cancer Awareness month stop you from supporting the cause for research and awareness all year-round. However, until October 31, we're still thinking pink.

Tweezerman, "positively the finest tweezers in the world...the choice of make-up artists, models and celebrities," and my personal choice, is supporting BCA charities for the sixth time with special tweezers. The tweezers aren't just pick, as they come in lavender and hand polished stainless steel. All tweezers feature a tiny print of the BCA ribbon. If you don't already have a pair of tweezers, these are the ones you should get right now because they are the best in the world for grabbing everything, even those tiny eyebrow hairs that look like a speck of pepper. These will get those, too!

Available online at Amazon.com for $20 per pair.

Good morning! We hope that even with October coming to a close we would think about and support breast cancer research beyond National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So while we haven't posted about too many things recently, we return to "Think Pink."
