While doing a final study abroad splurge at Topshop last semester, I noticed bins of adorable bracelets by the cash register. I couldn’t help but pick one up when I noticed the brand–Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. Aside from the fact that the bracelet’s simple black and white circle design (the “target”) was adorable and would match literally everything, the knowledge that the proceeds went towards breast cancer research had me completely sold!

When I got home, I decided to research Fashion Targets Breast Cancer to see what it was all about. To my surprise, the brand is the brainchild famous fashion designer Ralph Lauren and is an initiative of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). Founded in 1994, the organization has raised millions of dollars to distribute to accredited breast cancer charities.

Therefore, it’s almost everywhere you guys are!
