We all know that October is breast cancer awareness month, but this year, local boutiques are creating their own events for "Pink Week." Pink Week is a seven-day, citywide project designed to increase funds and spread awareness for breast cancer, and tonight the party continues. Lotus Boutique is hosting a "Pink Party" entitled "Style for the Cure," where shoppers can enjoy 10 percent off everything in the store (for one day only), even the fabulous new fall collection.

There will also be an opportunity to talk fashion with local style and beauty experts, complimentary appetizers and, of course, pink martinis! The event is sponsored by SKYY, POP Beauty and Aveda Hair Institute, so if you've ever been to a Lotus event, you know there will be tons of excitement and fashion waiting for you this evening.

Grab a friend and come out to support breast cancer awareness. Who knows, you just might go home with a pair of dark blue topaz and diamond earrings from Diamonds Direct! Oh, did I forget to mention there's a raffle full of awesome prizes going on as well? Don't miss it! The fun starts at 6 p.m. but if you can't make it, you can still make a donation of any amount here.

Lotus is located at 1111 Metropolitan Ave, Suite 140.

In honor of breast cancer awareness month, Ruby’s Gift will be hosting Project Art Aid Goes Pink on Oct. 22, an event where more than 100 pieces by local artists will go on sale to benefit the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Campaign.

Keeping in fashion with the “Go Pink” campaign, all of the art on sale contains hints of pink. So, if you like being fabulous and have an extreme amount of pink pride, then this event is sure to win you over.

There are tons of boutiques gaining exposure in The Queen City, especially in the past month with Fashion's Night Out and Charlotte Fashion Week, but who's concentrating on men's fashion? There's a new boutique on the block ... or there will be on Oct. 1. The grand opening event of Keaton's Cupboard will begin at 10 a.m. and run through 6 p.m. I've been told that attendees can expect to find an array of men's suits, shirts, ties and shoes from various brands like Steven Land, Carlo Lusso, Modena and Giorgio Fiorelli to name a few.

Now ladies, if you want to accompany your guy to the grand opening, this store has stylish shoe brands for you to shop as well, like Jessica Simpson and Steve Madden. And if you're a "Size Sexy" lady, a term used by the owner to replace the commonly used terminology "plus size," there are fabulously stylish PZI Jeans. Also available are new brands such as Jibri, Igigi and LaDan's Closet.

Keaton's Cupboard is located at 3621 The Plaza Charlotte 28205 or visit online at www.keatons-cupboard.com.

The cool fall Carolina weather brings out the boots for our wardrobe, and right now Frye boots are all the rage, as celebrities like Anne Hathaway and Emma Stone have been seen sporting them.

On Monday, Oct. 3 from 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Monkee's of Lake Norman in Davidson will be hosting a Frye Trunk Show. During the trunk show, you will be able to meet with FRYE company representative, John Smyth, as he personally helps with your selections of boots and shoes.

The best part of this trunk show is not that you will be leaving with a beautiful pair of Frye boots or shoes, but you will also be helping a good cause. A percentage of all FRYE purchases will be donated to the Marnie Jude Foundation. The Marnie Jude Foundation is to provide financial support for and raise awareness of the necessity of finding a cure for all childhood cancers. So ladies, get your Frye on!
