Think Pink- A Good Reason to Buy!
I really don’t need a reason to shop, but I always feel better when my hard earned cash is going to a worthy cause. So I’ve gotten my pink Stila lipgloss and Philosophy shower gel emblazoned with a pink ribbon that I buy every October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. But, I figure I have bigger fish to fry. So I did a search for shoes in honor of the month. Stuart Weitzman has an entire auction of the most gorgeous shoes for the cause. Designed by models, the shoes reflect their personality and style. But the perfect shoe to reflect Breast Cancer Awareness is the pink pump designed by model Bar Rafaeli. The description on www.stuartweitzman.com says: This beautifully simple pink shoe, topped off by a pink ribbon meant to symbolize breast cancer awareness (and adorned with Swarovski crystals), is a reflection of this model’s minimalist (but gorgeous) taste. Bar also signed the sole of the shoe, as well as a photograph of herself. They are $325, and I’m tempted to bid on them myself. But how often would I wear a pink pump. Although, I rarely ask myself that when making other shoe purchases.
Shoebuy.com is giving making a contribution to the cause from all sales of pink shoes this month. Lots of categories to choose from – children’s, dressy, boots and more.
Even Avon has a flip flop for $10 with proceeds going to the research for the cure.
I’m not a golfer, but I swore that if I ever took up the sport, I would look pretty darn good out there on the green.
I can’t believe I found golf shoes adorned with pink. How cute are these?
Not to be forgotten is QVC, who each year does a major sale of shoes with net proceeds that go to breast cancer research and education.
Shop with a conscience!

[...] Shoe Shopping for Worthwhile Cause December 21st, 2006 by Tracey I’m all about shoe shopping. And shoe shopping for a worthy cause makes it all the more satifsying. This is the third instance I have come across recently of shoes for causes. QVC has their annual shoe sale blitz for Breast Cancer and recently Heather Mills had celebrities like Pam Anderson donate shoes for auction to MAG (Mines Advisory Group).
