great site, even greater cause

posted by modern mama on Monday Oct 6, 2008 under general, life, love

since october is breast cancer awareness month, I wanted to mention this cool website - if you haven’t been to www.designhergals.com then immediately STOP reading this post and go go go!

…now that you’re back some two hours later - it really is THAT addicting, then read on… a fellow modern mama of mine called this site ‘paper dolls for adults’ and it truly is. not to mention, you have an unlimited outfits and shoe combinations to choose from. in fact, the image on my ‘about’ section was designed by the wonderful and creative women who founded designhergals.com, and i don’t think i’ve ever looked more fabulous! ;) anyways, besides being given the keys to carrie bradshaw’s closet (aka SJP), the main goal of this site, through their Gal to Gal Foundation, is to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research and ultimately a cure for this tragic disease that affects millions of women each year.

almost everyone has been somehow affected by breast cancer. my mom and my aunt both were diagnosed with breast cancer, and thankfully, due to funding, research, modern day medicine (and the man upstairs) - i am happy to say that after early detection and treatment, they are both living happily and haphazardly as fabulous and fun grandmas to a bunch of loving grandkids!

finally, visit often and spend often - purchase gifts for showers, birthdays, or just because…and if you don’t leave each time feeling like you were the full-time employee who works INSIDE kimora lee simmon’s clothing closet (yes, it’s true, he caterogorizes her purses, denims, shoes…you get the over the top picture!), then you need to go back for more! now, if i can only look as fabulous and my design-her gal everyday…but then again, bags under the eyes wasn’t one of their options for accessories! ;)

be sure to sign up for their second annual virtual walk to raise money for stage iv breast cancer patients and walk with team: ‘modern mama‘!

    This is a great post. It looks like you have a great sense of humor AND a conscious. I had never heard of this site but you were right, I checked it out and loved it. I signed up for the virtual walk, too!

    I am in LOVE with this site, although I haven’t been able to order anything yet. My time is coming… it has to, lol. Had no idea that they were working for such a worthy cause.
