Luxury brand, Salvatore Ferragamo, is showing its support of breast cancer awareness month by creating a special line of fabulous pink merchandise. Unfortunately, the items will only be available at select Ferragamo stores in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Japan, and Australia. The funds raised will support breast cancer organizations in those countries. I have to admit that I’m a little heartbroken that I won’t have an opportunity to purchase those amazing pink stilettos. Not that [...]

DONATE…SHOP…SAVE…ENJOY! [...]

Every adult should have a set of stationary for sending notes, Thank You cards, etc. As I get older, I find myself spending hours in Papyrus or the stationary section at Borders and Target. I’m now the proud owner of 3 sets of Thank You cards, 2 boxes of note cards, and some cute invitations. I’ve tried to curb this habit, but I fear that it’s only going to get worse! While researching the Junior [...]

Twitter introduced me to Peters Path last month ago, but this online boutique has been active for a lot longer than that. The store uses its online storefront to bring eco-conscious styles to individuals while also raising funds for different charities on a monthly basis. After serving on various mission trips, the owner, Christine Peters, knew that she wanted to do something on an ongoing basis to assist various charities. Originally, she thought about just [...]
