Get varsity chic in the Custom Leather Award Jacket from Roots, $358
When it comes to colours, I would argue that no other shade is more powerful than pink. From the moment they can talk, girls declare that, without a doubt, their favourite colour is pink. As they get a little older, this love often grows to the point of complete obsession. I've actually witnessed a poolside meltdown that lasted a full 10 minutes when my 3 year-old was asked to wear a lifejacket. She kicked, screamed and clawed the jacket off like it was covered in smallpox, causing bystanders to back away, thinking that perhaps she'd gone rabid. Why? The lifejacket wasn't PINK!!! AGGHHHH! I'm happy to report that a few months down the road, this manic pinksession has marginally subsided (sort of...) but she, and I, will always place pink on a pedestal.
In case you haven't heard, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, placing a special importance on pink all month long. Whether you adore the colour like my daughter or just want to show your support for women who have battled breast cancer, make sure to get a little pinkalicious this month. Proceeds from some of the items shown below will go towards breast cancer research, education, and treatment options, helping us work towards a future without breast cancer. I'll wear those rose-coloured glasses!
