Teal is the real deal!

After purple, the next jewel tone back you and I need this fall is a teal bag, because it can add an unexpected pop a color to usual subdued hued fall color palettes.

The MG Elena Bag from Miss Gusto is so cute. The double chain straps are awesome and it looks super roomy! Oh, it comes with a strap to wear it as a crossbody? Nice!

Stay Stylish!

Shop Pink: Dermstore.com BCA Boutique

For the month of October, DermStore.com will have a Breast Cancer Awareness Boutique which will feature specialty products from beauty brands such as Becca Cosmetics, Decleor, Colorescience, Stila Cosmetics, gloMinerals, jane iredale, Sonya Dakar and Alterna, Diana B., among many others. This one stop shop is the premier destination for getting gorgeous, getting pink and giving back. All the products sold in the boutique will contribute a portion of their proceeds to various breast cancer charities. In addition to the donations made from the individual brands, DermStore.com will donate 5% of the proceeds from each unit sold in the boutique to CEW Foundation’s Cancer and Careers program, whose mission is to educate and empower people with cancer to thrive in their workplace by providing expert advice, interactive tools and educational events. Instead of indulging in retail therapy, indulge in some retail charity.

This online boutique is not only a fantastic destination for limited edition Breast Cancer Awareness products but also a unique concept from DermStore.com, as it allows for additional funds to support this well deserving cause. In 2009, there were over 190,000 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in American women. With each passing year, science makes life-saving advancements and brings new hope to everyone affected by this disease. With the aid of charitable donations, much like DermStore.com’s and its participating brands’, we are a step closer to a cure.

So, pretty please, check out and Dermstore.com and make as many purchases as possible!
