Ready for the warmer weather yet? I can’t do much for you in that department, besides encourage, and get you excited about higher temperatures ahead, including the possibility of wearing shorts in a few months (shorts, I say!). With that being said, I just know you’re going to enjoy looking through this LOFT spring 2014 sneak peek, with top picks by Fashion Pulse Daily. Selections include nautical maxi dresses, knit rompers, blushy peach suits, polka dot oxfords, filmy scarves, lovely lace skirts, and yes, shorts (lovely eyelet ones at that!). Enjoy!

Shop & Help Find a Cure for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Orange and black aren’t the only colors that start popping up everywhere in October. Now with the start of Breast Cancer Awareness month, expect to see a lot of pink sprinkled in with the rest of the fall colors. To help you easily support this important cause, we’ve put together a list of some awesome products to help you think pink and show your support for raising awareness for breast cancer. So take a look, do your part and make a purchase with power!
Prime for pink with one of Smashbox’s best sellers, the Photo Finish Foundation Primer. This fan favorite turns your skin into the perfect canvas for makeup application by filling pores and fine lines, creating a smooth finish on skin. For every product purchased, Smashbox will donate $5 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Available for $36 at Smashbox.com and Ulta.
Streekers and TouchBack BrowMarker team up to raise awareness and help the cause by donating 100% of the proceeds of these products to the National Breast Cancer Coalition. Streekers in Pink, the official color of Breast Cancer Awareness month, adds temporary color to hair for a bold pop. The TouchBack BrowMarker in Blonde offers precision and ease to women who’ve lost their brows from effects of chemotherapy, or for those in need of a bit of a fill in the brows. Streekers in Pink is available for $11.95 at Streekers.com and Ulta.com; TouchBack BrowMarker is available for $19.95 at TouchBackBrow.com and Ulta.com.
For an inspirational and total beauty package, look to celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal’s seven piece collection, The Brightest Days Are Ahead Kit. With each purchase, a donation will be made to the Fashion Footwear Charitable Foundation’s breast cancer fundraising efforts (FFCF). FFCF leads the industry’s fundraising efforts for innovative breast cancer research and provides grants to the nation’s most distinguished breast cancer research hospitals and foundations.
Housed in a tote with a message that reads “Your Best Days Are Ahead,” this collection contains three shade options (fair/light, medium, and tan/righ) and several beauty essentials from Mally: the Perfect Skin Illuminating Refiner with a brush and sponge, Perfect Prep Under Eye Brightener in Lighter, Luxury Lipstick in Pilar Pink, Evercolor Shadow Stick in Empowering Lilac and Evercolor Starlight Eyeliner in Fearless Brown.
