Unless you’ve been hiding a rock, you’ll know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. According to Breast Cancer Care, every year 50,000 women a year hear they have breast cancer, which we’re sure you’ll agree is devastating.
To raise awareness of the illness and encourage women to check their breasts there’s a huge range of initiatives taking place this month as well as fundraising events such as fun runs to the more serious sporting days.
However, over here at Shiny towers we’ve decided to support the event in the best way we know and that’s of course through fashion.
See the gallery below and rope your friends into having a “pink dress day” – think Mean Girls – for every pink item you wear you can have a pound donated to a Breast Cancer charity of your choice.

UK singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor is modelling Asda’s Tickled Pink t-shirt for this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The t-shirt will be sold in Asda stores throughout October and marks the campaign’s 15-year anniversary and will help raise money for the charities Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Campaign.
On taking part in the photoshoot for chairy Sophie said: “Breast cancer affects not just those who have been diagnosed with the disease, but also the family members of those who are suffering. Please contribute to this amazing cause and purchase the special edition products to raise the much needed funds for the charities to continue their hard work.”

A survey by Breast Cancer Campaign has found that pop star Pink is our favourite ‘pink celebrity’, but with a name like that we wouldn’t expect anything less. Famous for her brightly coloured tresses – which are now a plantinum blonde – the American singer got 43% of the votes, while former US leading lady Jackie Kennedy followed closely behind with 34% for her iconic pink suit.
On the lower end of the scale we find the more pink obsessed celebrities Katie Price and Paris Hilton who are both known for their love for the candy coloured hue.
Other iconic characters most associated with the colour pink included Barbie, the Pink Ladies in Grease, Reese Witherspoon’s Elle Woods in Legally Blonde and Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
But where do you wear such a bright colour? According to the survey you wear it to charity events and hen/stag nights – not so sure about all the men in pink for stag nights but hey.
How many pink items are lurking in your wardrobe? I can count…3… I think….

The pink frenzy of Breast Cancer Awareness Month is almost over, so your chance for charitable shopping is quickly coming to a close.
Why not snap up one of these limited edition Shopbop Bop Basics tees designed by celebrities like Nicky Hilton, Hilary Duff and Cindy Crawford.
We like Jamie King’s floral print and dare we say Denise Richards’ girlie shoe design. The shirts are $88 with 50% of proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Network of Strength.

Yes, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Everyone has been inundated with the lip glosses, bags, shoes, cards, candy, flowers, etc. that are all donating to the charity, but Figleaves.com has done something slightly different. Until the end of the month, the highly popular website will be donating between 10 and 30 percent of their sales to Living Beyond Breast Cancer, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping women affected by breast cancer.
