I had the honor of attending a very special event thrown by Estee Lauder this week, and even in the midst of Fashion Week craziness, I was humbled by how cool this company is. First, nearly all of the brand's top executives were there (CEO, CFO, you name it), but I was also struck by their commitment to women and women's issues.
Now, being a teen, you probably don't have breast cancer awareness too high on your radar right now, but it is a disease that afflicts 1 in 8 women in their lifetime, so it's never too early to get involved. Estee Lauder has a Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign where certain products from their brand are created or repackaged, and a percentage of sales from these items is donated to breast cancer research. So far the campaign has raised approximately $35 million, but there's always room to donate more.
One of the items they're selling this year is this $42 Splendid tank top, which I think is absolutely adorable. I already have mine, and I'm going to be wearing it until the seams fall apart!
