Wear it well and lift your spirit

Cancer takes its toll physically, but the mental challenges women experience while going through chemotherapy treatment can be even more difficult. As women struggle with hair loss, body image becomes a concern. Developed by a breast cancer survivor, iwearitwell.com has designed a solution to help women cope with the physical and emotional challenges of hair loss.

iwearitwell.com creates vibrant, color-coordinated ensembles consisting of head wraps, earrings, and shirts for women, head wraps and earrings for girls and biker caps for boys. These fashionable hair loss alternatives are sure to lift one’s spirit and self-esteem. Their products (Retail Price: $10 - $40) come with a personal “wish of wellness” through this journey!

Protect yourself from the elements, any time of year


Look smart throughout every season with stylish hats from Wallaroo. In the Fall and Winter, update your look with the fashion-forward styling of the Bella hat. With a ball-cap brim and gathered trim around the crown you can add fun style to even your most casual outfit. Or, check out their fun hats for Spring and Summer, including the Reversible Resort hat, with a contrasting band on one side that reverses to a solid on the other. The Velcro adjustment in back wraps around a ponytail or long hair and can adjust hat size.

Many hats in the collection are UPF 50+ (the Australian equivalent of SPF). These fabrics are tested by the Australian Radiation Protection Agency and block 97.5% of the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Fido gets cozy!

The simple design, construction and choice of materials and fun colors and patterns make this a favorite for dog owners and dogs alike!

Keeping this cold-natured daschund warm and dry is now easy!

Embrace solutions for your unmentionables

Do you have a favorite bra that you just can't wear with certain clothing because your straps would show? Embrace has the solution with their Bra Strap Solution. It's a tiny, clear plastic circle with cut outs in the shape of hearts. Use the cut outs to pull your straps close and adjust until your straps are hidden. Voila...your favorite bra is now converted into a racerback that you can wear with confidence and comfort. No more buying specialty bras in multiple colors to wear with specific revealing tops or dresses!

Embrace offers several other unique solutions, including In Place and A Fresh Pair. In Place double-stick strips hold EVERYTHING in place - skin to fabric and fabric to fabric. Smartly designed to let you alter the width of tape for all your fashion fixes. I used these for a low-cut dress I wore to my brother's wedding and felt confident that I wouldn't "fall out" during the night. A Fresh Pair is a gentle soap leaf infused with fresh pear undertones created for hand washing your delicate undergarments. It comes in a convenient and discreet pouch that makes it easy to travel with.

Get perky without surgery

Bring new life to an old bra, wear your favorite tops with confidence, and get an instant lift without surgery with The Bra Clip (www.bralief.com, $9.95). The clip wraps around the straps of a bra in the back pulling the straps together.

The bra clip comes in several colors, including their “cotton candy” for which 20% of proceeds are donated to breast cancer awareness.

Kick off your heels

I have a confession. I have bunions. Big, ugly, painful bunions. So when I want to wear a cute pair of shoes on a big night out, or even around the office, my feet hate me.

Then Spare Soles walked into my life. Spare Soles (www.sparesoles.com, $21.95). They are a compact ballerina flat with a matching wristlet purse. They can fit in the smallest purse or pocket. Spare Soles have a flexible fashionable upper and a skid resistant water-proof sole. They are available in three sizes and assorted colors, including black and silver. So kick off those heels when your feet have had enough, but you are still ready to roll.

Hang em high


My favorite new fun little gadget or toy is the purse hanger. Every time I use it I get compliments and questions. Most often I use the purse hanger when dining at a restaurant where there is nowhere to place my purse. I don't want to hang my purse on the back of my chair or sit it in my lap or the floor (not very convenient or sanitary).

Purse Hanger (www.pursejewelry.com, $8.95) to the rescue! Simply carry the portable hanger in your purse and pull it out whenever and wherever you need it. There are a variety of styles from which to choose.
