An Army of Pink

As we take the time to celebrate National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and wear our pink in proud support of those who have or currently are beautifully fighting the disease, the Fashionably Nina team would like to acknowledge courageous women everywhere and help raise awareness. With 1 out of every 8 women in United States being diagnosed with breast cancer, nearly everyone has been affected either directly or indirectly. Women are notorious for playing many roles simultaneously, often giving time to our children, husbands, careers, organizations, and family members, while forgetting to give that same quality time to ourselves. This month, vow to pause for a moment solely dedicated to taking care of yourself and your health...and don't forget to wear your pink proudly!

How fitting is it that pink and other blush tones were a favorite among many designers including Fendi, Dior, and Altuzarra on the Fall '14 runways? Whether it's used to make a bold statement or as a subtle touch of color, pink is bringing a pop of color to our usually dark Fall wardrobes. We are sharing looks from Fashion Weeks around the globe, and showing you how to make the trend your own using CAbi's luxurious BeautiFall Me collection.
