As some of you know more and more women are being affected by Breast Cancer, and October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. My Aunt, only the love my life was diagnosed last year with Breast Cancer. Stage one, we caught it early, and for almost a year she lived with us while she went through her Chemo Treatments. Sometimes I wonder if putting too much of my personal life on this blog will backfire, but I think this is a serious issue. Needless to say my Aunt is cancer free, and we hope that it never comes back. Last year I heard about Pink Jams the day after it held an event. I put a mental note in my mind that I would try and catch the event the following year. Fast forward to last Tuesday! Somehow I saw a tweet regarding the event and immediately said! I have to get my TICKET! So I did, and it felt good to give to the cause! Pink Jams is an organization that shines the light on women under forty who are plagued with Breast Cancer, uncommon, but very possible. This years show featured 15 women under forty who worked with local designers to create a dress reflective of their style. The showed would be followed by a showing of Christian Siriano ‘s Spring collection fresh off the runway of NYFW.  The donations made from this fundraiser went to the Capital Breast Care Center. I was so happy to be a part of this!
