October means, Breast Cancer Awareness month. I’ve had close family members and friend deal with cancer and I’m a proud supporter of the Susan G. Komen foundation. Recently I came across this site and apparently Mikimoto pearls donates 20% of all sales from the Everything is Possible with Hope collection to the Young Survival Coalition. Inspired by the pink ribbon, the symbol for breast cancer awareness, the online selection features earrings, pendant, necklaces and a bracelet, all with superior quality Mikimoto cultured pearls set in 18K gold. The collection ranges in price from $950 to $3,000 and can be found at JRDunn

Now if you’re not familiar with Mikimoto pearls, just think of the pearls in Sex and the City.

Yea, those gorgeous pearls are Mikimoto pearls. Mikimoto pearls is synonymous with quality, chic and classic style (even the stylist for Sex in the City thought so).

Lately, I’ve been getting daily requests from readers asking for the MAC Cosmetics Friends and Family Sale I posted last year. It’s been unfortunate that I’ve had to reply to my readers that this coupon was valid for June 2008. Apparently MAC heard all your wishes and sent me their new SUMO SALE! Their Sumo Sale is WAY better than their Friends and Family. Save 25% (the F&F was only 15%) off your MAC Cosmetics online purchase.

I’ve been a bit preoccupied. Busy, busy June! It’s been some wacky weather in Los Angeles. Thunderstorms, rain, and 60 degree cold (yes, that’s cold for LA). I’d say the end is coming but I’m not ready to go! Too much left to do, too many places I haven’t vacationed to and too many cute shoes I haven’t worn.

Just because I’m been preoccupied, doesn’t mean you guys should miss out on the good stuff! Compliments of DailyCandy

Personally I’ve been in a James Perse mood but that could be because it’s been so chilly in Los Angeles. If you end up at any of the sales, be sure to drop me a comment and let me know how it went. Thumbs up, thumbs down?
