HiFashion: Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer is a cause that's close to my heart (I once organised a charity event for the issue, which is still one of my proudest moments) and if you don't already know: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Every year, I'm ?more and more impressed at all the brands that get involved, mainly be designing specific 'Pink products' for charity and then donating a certain percentage.

Yesterday, I had a look at two big brands who've put together products for Breast Cancer Awareness Month: UGG Australia and Chamilia.

UGG Australia:
With winter around our corner, it's time to get our favourite guilty pleasure - The UGG - out (don't deny it, we all have a pair...or two). The brand has teamed up with The Haven, who offer?counselling?for those diagnosed with Breast Cancer and to their families. They've designed two shoes, each embroidered with a pink ribbon, and are available both in?their stores and online.

The Classic Short retails at ?165, and the Ansley at ?80, with ?10 for every sale going to The Haven.The boots look pretty cute in pink and contains the warm and soft sheepskin that UGG Australia have perfected.

We were treated to afternoon tea and then were spoken through what The Haven does. Basically, the charity supports those diagnosed via a range of therapies to help people mentally and physically deal with the effects of Breast Cancer, at their specialist day centres. They do some great work in helping people deal with what's going on and provide tailor made therapies to suit each person's needs.

UGG Australia will also be holding a range of in store events throughout October, so keep an eye open for those! We were also each given a gorgeous pink bouquet of flowers, handmade from The Real Flower Company. The flowers smelt so gorgeous and were made really well.?

Chamilia:

Chamilia have teamed up with Breast Cancer Care to produce a one-off pink bracelet and charm, again with proceeds going to charity. For those that don't know, Chamilia are known for their charm bracelets, mainly in silver, and they sell a wide variety of charms and beads. They also do a lot of pretty earrings and necklaces. It's great as you're able to design your own as well, by mixing and matching beads.
For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Chamilia will release a gorgeous pink leather rope bracelet, with a pink bead. Then you're also able to separately buy a hanging pink ribbon, made from Silver and Swarovski Elements, so you can support the cause in a stylish way too.
Also LFW is a mere week away now! It's getting busy and The Body Shop are once again the official make-up sponsor for Vauxhall Fashion Scout - the event for new designers during Fashion Week. They are giving away the incredible chance to be front row at a Vauxhall Fashion Scout show, with ?100 travel included, as well as being able to meet make up artist, Lan Nguyen, and winning a ?100 goody bag. What a prize, right!

Entering is easy. All you have to do is create a Pinterest board on your Spring/Summer13 inspirations are, be it ice cream or something pretty. You'll have to re-pin the image from their SS13 board, so they know you've entered and don't forget to use #SS13TBS. Winners will be picked on the 10th September by Nguyen.

What do you think of the Breast Cancer Awareness Month products? Let me know if you know any other brands taking part too!

HTC holding U.S. event on Sept. 19, new devices likely

Android Central

It's fall refresh time, and it looks like HTC's getting geared up to unleash an arsenal of new products in just a couple of weeks time. This afternoon we received the 'save the date' reminder above, inviting us to an event in New York City on Sept. 19. For those keeping track of all the events and announcements we're expecting around that time, that's 24 hours after Moto and Intel strut their stuff in London, and just a couple of days ahead of the expected iPhone 5 retail release. (Yeah, it's going to be a crazy few weeks.)

What's particularly interesting is that our sister site WPCentral also received the same invite, suggesting that HTC might unveil not only new Android devices, but some Windows Phone 8 stuff, too. The WPC kids have been been hearing rumors of a possible HTC "Accord" or "8X" over the past few days, so we'll have to see if that materializes on the 19th.

On the Android side, possibilities include that weird iMac-looking tablet thing, as well as the perpetually-rumored Verizon-bound 1080p-screened 5-inch device. Any more wild theories? Throw 'em out in the comments. Both Android Central and WPCentral will be live from New York City on the 19th to bring you live coverage of whatever HTC's got up its sleeve.

CyanogenMod tops up CM10 Jelly Bean jar with SMS pop-up, quick reply features

DNP Cyanogen popup

On top of bringing Android flavors to devices that would otherwise never get them, CyanogenMod has added SMS options to its latest CM10 Jelly Bean ROM -- features the stock version lacks. First, the team introduced QuickMessage, which displays a pop-up when you get an IM, allowing you to view or reply to it on the spot. Then, after hearing feedback from users, a "quick reply" option was appended as well, letting you disable the pop-up and reply from the notification bar instead. We took a quick whirl with the latest nightly and saw that it works as advertised, giving you the speedy options while appearing as a regular setting in the stock messaging app. So, if you're like most of us and drop everything when you get a text, check the source links for more details.
