LuxGoddess.com Hops on the Discount Shopping Site Bandwagon, Donates to CharityDo only the very wealthy pay retail these days? Seems like it. With so many discount shopping sites that sell high-end items, mere mortals can get said high-end items at low(er)-end prices. But is is there room for yet one more of these sites? LuxGoddess.com is hoping so. It recently joined the likes of Bluefly, ShopBop, and Gilt to offer upscale items at reduced prices. Here's what makes LuxGoddess different, however: It donates 10% of its proceeds to Bright Pink, a national nonprofit that provides education and support to young women who are at high risk for breast and ovarian cancer.

Calling itself "the premier site for today's fashion trendsetters looking for great deals on their favorite designer brands," the site carries well-known brands, with a number of items pulled from online stores, and covers the standard categories of apparel, shoes, beauty, and accessories. There's also a sale rack, which is a user's personal sale rack, based on her size and brand preferences.

Diamonds For A Cure

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry, Charity

Shop NBC host, jewelry designer and breast cancer survivor Neda Behnam has created a new company called Diamonds for a Cure (DFAC) which will join the growing number of companies raising funds for cancer research. The first two offerings capitalize on the current trend for rough diamond jewelry. A 4ct. natural pink diamond flower ring set in rose gold sells for $2,499.99 but only $100 goes to cancer research. An 18k white gold rough diamond pendant with a polished diamond center stone on either a black or pink silk cord sells for $549.93 and $50 goes to breast cancer research. The idea is admirable but compared to other jewelry lines, the amount given for charity seems a bit low.

Little Pink Toolkit

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

Clearly, the way to make a tool kit more appealing to women is to turn it in to a fashion accessory - and if it happens to tie in with Breast Cancer Awareness month, so much the better. The Little Pink Tool Kit certainly is pretty in pink. The 10-piece general purpose set, where all the ergonomic tools come with matching pink handles, is packed up in a pink tote bag that can be carried about while making any small repairs without looking much different from an ordinary handbag. The site notes that a portion of the proceeds from each sale go towards breast cancer research, although it does not say what portion or how much will be donated. Price: $80.
