It’s officially October, and it’s also officially Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Although you should be checking up on your breasts regularly. In case you don’t know how to do a self breast exam, you should ask your doc to show you how.

Also, if you live in the nyc area, you should check out New York Women First, a government funded organization geared towards keeping the women of NYC healthy. Not only can you find info on breast cancer like places in NYC that offer free or low cost mammograms, but you can also find information on other women’s issues such as diabetes, domestic violence, osteoporosis, pregnancy and more.

So I urge you women and young girls to visit the site, and take care of yourselves! <333

However, there are a few designers that I am excited about: BCBG Max Azaria, Miss Sixty, Betsey Johnson, and Lacoste.
