October is almost over and as you all know - and I hope you do - it’s breast cancer awareness month. I’m actually very surprised that this wasn’t a very common subject in the blogosphere. I’ve seen an occasional pink ribbon here and there, but not an actual post about the whole thing. Breast cancer has been something close to me, so I did not only decide to make a post about it, but I also participated in the Race for the Cure, which collects money that people pay to participate. You could either run or walkthe trail and we did some walking. But once there, I realized I had to bring my running shoes with me because I felt like running with all those people in pink! The race was held in Antwerp, near the docks, and actually attracted a great amount of people! When you’ve experienced something like this, I bet this can be so heartwarming, to see all those people do something for a good cause. You could also buy things such as a bracelet, bumper sticker, key chain, hats, T-shirts, calendars and even O.P.I. nail polish… all in pink of course! Next year, the whole Think Pink team can count me in, as a runner that is!

Would you care to join me ^ ^?

Has anyone ever heard of Rory Beca? Until today, I hadn’t. But luckily Forever 21 introduced the brand by collaborating together. Here’s an exclusive preview of the Holiday 2011 collection. As a future journalist I learn that it’s important to check your sources, so I googled Rory Beca to see her other collections. I must say, I quite like it. Her designs are very feminine with a few edgier pieces, I like! The collaboration with Forever 21 consists of Holiday pieces, which are – as you can see in the video – inspired by Studio 45. The piece I like the most is the LBD with cut-outs on the side. The beading isn’t necessary for me, but it adds that little extra! There’s also this pink dress – saw it on the website – that I like, although I’m not into pink clothing. Its the shape that I find very beautiful.

Rory designs incredible pieces that are so wearable and I guess you can say that I quite like this collab and I’m secretly hoping it’ll come to Belgium as well, but I doubt that! It’s just such a great combo, because both F21 and Rory work with prints and color a lot. You can find a bit of everything at both brands so I think it was easy working together. I wish I had those crazy design skills… Maybe I could have start my own line, who knows haha ^^

What do you think about the clothes and the collaboration in overall?

I thought it was fun to give you a little preview of the new Urban Outfitters in Brussels, since I’m still waiting for some pictures to use in the actual post. These pictures were so fun, but I might not have used them if it wasn’t for this quick post… I absolutely loved the store and I’ll tell you all about it the next post! One thing I can tell you: Urban Outfitters did it again, such a pretty store! Now I’m off, gotta work ^^ 

Liking what you see already? Stay tuned for more
