Now that I am a business owner, I felt that it is imperative to be able to contribute to society in some way and be a positive influential force whenever possible. As such, I was really happy to be able to invite Moonberry, a well-known lifestyle and beauty blogger, to be the guest model of Lace And Buttons' "Pink Collection". The concept behind this collection is derived from my wish to encourage more women to wear pink during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. It consists of seven sets of pink apparels and part of the proceeds from the October sales of this collection as well as other designs available at my online store will be donated to the Singapore Cancer Society.
Some designs from the Pink Collection:
I really enjoyed this photoshoot with the gorgeous Moonberry, as she is very friendly and easy to work with. Significantly, Moonberry is also someone really passionate about breast cancer awareness, as can be seen from her blog articles regarding this topic. From my conversations with her, I can tell that Moonberry shares my belief that breast cancer awareness is important for everyone, regardless of age. Although women who are forty years old and above are more likely to be inflicted with breast cancer, everyone should be concerned about awareness in this disease as we all have women we love, be it our mothers, sisters or friends.
Apart from the Pink Collection, I have also arranged for the manufacturing of limited edition golden retriever breast cancer awareness tote bags to be given away to customers who make purchases from my online store.
Great as a shopping bag and really cute doggy yah?
