Just a thought...

Nearly all men can stand adversity but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

Yes and it could not be too soon! If you didn't get a chance to get your hands on this feel good item, here is your chance. The TOMS shoes for charity:water are only $58 and can be purchased here. From each purchase $5 will go towards providing 540 people with clean drinking water in Sekura Village, Ethiopia and TOMS will of course donate a pair of shoes. This is a win (for a TOMS child), win (for the Sekura community), win (for you) situation.

Here she is pictured with a group of young promising musicians for the "America's got talent" story. Mrs O also known for her "Let's move campaign" and her love for American art and culture, is hitting all the right fashion notes in a raspberry sheath dress by L'Wren Scott and bright blue heels.

DESIGNER WATCH: Betsey Johnson!

Betsey Johnson is a fashion designer with stamina and a name that evokes smiles everywhere. Since the 1960s, she has been deemed the “party girl” and even helped set New York City on fire alongside Edie Sedgwick and Andy Warhol.

In 2002, after removing a saline implant, she noticed a lump and was later diagnosed with breast cancer. Soon after she under went a lumpectomy and radiation treatment, thankfully she has been cancer free ever since and has been using her presence in the fashion industry to raise awareness about the life threatening disease. Some of her personal endeavors include, but are not limited to being the honorary chairperson for the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Initiative. Johnson makes public appearances, participates in numerous fundraising events, and regularly creates one-of-a-kind items to be auctioned off to raise money for breast cancer research and awareness. This year a specially designed pair of gloves are available for sale on her website.

According to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, about 207,000 women and 2,000 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Betsey Johnson beat breast cancer and now makes it her mission to help others to do so. Do yourself a favor this October as well as anyone you know who has a “rack” and put a wrap on breast cancer by checking for lumps. If you feel anything the least bit irregular, call your doctor and schedule an appointment today.

EDITOR'S JOURNAL: Welcome to the issue

Although fall marks the end of summer frolicking, it still holds a special place in so many hearts and for good reason. For FWAConistas mix-matching, layering and the outpouring of new and not-so-new trends with a twist are Autumn faves. Check out FWAC: Trend for all things HOT from our new contributor StyleStar!

Yes, warm apple cider and pumpkin pie are also nice little treats! But nothing warms the soul like fall threads for a cause. If pink is your favorite color as it is the favorite of one of our writer's (she is obsessed) you are in luck. Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month designers such as Ralph Lauren are offering a ton of products in the hue. If you are not a big fan of the Pepto Bismol shade do not fret! We will feature other Feel Good Shopping items for you to join the fight. And for all the straight shooters out there who just want to throw money at the problem, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation will gladly take your donations!

Betsey Johnson is not all about fun and games especially this October! This fille de joie is hard at work for a good cause. Her inspiring survival story lands her our Designer Watch spot this month.

This October think pink!

Love,

Kelie XO
