More Great Ways to Shop and Show You Care

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Dear fashionistas, if you’ve been stalking all of the fabulous fall fashions at Saks, just dying to rescue your closet from boredom, this weekend (Oct. 16-19, actually) may be the perfect time to act.  That’s because as part of their annual Key to the Cure event, Saks Fifth Avenue and www.saks.com will donate 2 percent of the weekend’s sales — up to $500,000 — to the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund.

The EIF Women’s Cancer Research Fund raises awareness about the importance of early detection of breast and reproductive cancers, provides funds to advance research on early detection and treatment methods, and supports community programs that assist the millions of women at risk of or affected by cancer, as well as their families.

And here’s another bonus: If shopping online at saks.com, enjoy free shipping when you spend $150 or more with the code: FREESHIP — plus, receive 20 percent off by using friends and family code: SAKSFF3.

Of course if it’s time to re-evaluate your intimates drawer (Perhaps, like me, you have a brimming collection of bras in the wrong size?), now may be a good time to visit your friends in Maryland and go shopping at Sylene, in Chevy Chase. Through Oct. 26, for every gently warn bra you bring to Sylene to be donated to the women of Families Forward, which works to prevent and end homelessness in our area, you’ll receive $5 off a bra purchase.
