Pink October

The best of Breast Cancer Awareness month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there are tons of stylish ways to show your support. The range of official merchandise includes Get in the Pink T-shirts (£10), a 'Precious' T-shirt designed by Rachel Roberts (£12) as well as deeley-boppers (£2.50), wigs (£10) and umbrellas (£6).
Friday October 4 has been designated Pink Day with pink parties and events across the UK. Don't throw away any old bras this month - donate them to build a bra bridge (call the bra hotline on 08701 602 040).
Breast Cancer Care's fashion show on October 9 has sold out, but everyone can bid online here from October 20-24 for casts of celebrity body parts. Both Alexander McQueen and Matthew Williamson have donated casts of their hands - the auction ends on October 24 with the (invite only) Forme Sensuali party.
You've got until October 31 to bid online for exclusive ironing board covers designed by celebrities including designers Toby Pimlico, Ben de Lisi, Orla Keily and Anya Hindmarch with all the proceeds going to breast cancer charities.
