Impact-Site-Verification: 501633431 Hi friends! I have to say this week went by like the speed of light. Let’s take a look at what was new & noteworthy for the first week of October.
October is a big month in the Richardson household. Tomorrow is my birthday, and I’ll be LVI years old. HA! (you’ll have to think about that one.) Mine and Kent’s 31st anniversary is the 10th, and Katie’s birthday is the 15th. Time to celebrate. It may sound weird, but I’m making my own [cheese]cake. Katie is having us all for dinner tomorrow night, and I told her I’d do it…totally honest here, I like to lick the bowl. LOL
October as you know is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and there are so many brands that choose to give back to Breast Cancer Research/Organizations during this time. I thought I’d share a few who are giving back when you purchase certain items. I’m highlighting 3 this week, and I’ll try to find some more for next week.

Colleen Rothschild
Colleen herself had breast cancer within the last couple years, so it’s very near and dear to her. When you purchase the Quench & Shine Travel Kit, they will donate 25% to the Pink Fund. I have this kit and love it. I use all of her hair products. This would make such a good gift, so now’s a good time to stock up. You can use my code COASTTOCOAST20 and save 20% on it.

Appleseed’s
Appleseed’s is a brand I work with from time to time. They are selling a special scarf and for each one sold until October 31st, they will donate $10 to the American Cancer Society.

Julie Vos
It’s no secret how much I love this brand of jewelry. I think this is such a beautiful piece, and it would also make such a special gift for a survivor. Through Dec. 31st, Julie Vos will donate 10% of each bracelet sale to Susan G. Komen.
WHAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED…
- Yesterday I published a REEL with some super cute styles from Gibsonlook. You can use LISA10 on any or all of them. 😉 Shop the REEL on LTK here.
- I also did a REEL with Walmart featuring REEBOK. They have some of the softest pieces perfect as the days are cooling off. Shop that REEL here.

- Wednesday’s post I shared where to get beautiful new art work.
- Monday I took a look back at September’s best sellers.
NEW PIECES FROM AVARA
I’m sharing a REEL today with some new Avara pieces for fall. Here’s a sneak peak at a few. You can use my code COAST15 on anything. The code is good once every 3 months (when I can have my code reset), so grab several pieces when you use. I wear a lot of Avara in case you haven’t noticed.

Emery Dress
I really think this might be my favorite dress from Avara to date. It is so cute, and you can dress it up or down. I’ve seen it worn with sneakers and it’s just as cute as it is with heels. I’m wearing an XS.

Sweater & Jeans
Pink and orange are one of my favorite color combinations. This sweater is soooo soft and such a fun look. It’s another piece that can be worn multiple ways. I will wear it with joggers and sneakers for a fun sporty look. The jeans are also from Avara and I love a pair of gray jeans for a change.

Sweater & Jeans
Another great sweater option. Check out the sleeves. They are so cute and make it special. I love, love, love, striped sweaters. PS, it’s super soft. The jeans are also really good. They’re a straight leg, and fit great. I’m in my true size 28
