Save Some Boobies, Buy a Bag! AKA: Patricia Nash Stand up to Breast Cancer Auction
Want to peek into your favorite celebs handbag? How about buy their handbag filled with their on-the-go must-have? In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness,
January Jones, Liv Tyler, Giuliana Rancic, Leann Rimes, Vanessa Hudgens, Kristin Chenoweth, Elizabeth Hurley, Maria Menuonos, Jenna Dewan Tatum, Jessica Lowndes, Jennie Garth, Brittany Snow, Garcelle Beauvais, Alison Sweeney, Tori Spelling, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, and Ali Landry
have joined handbag designer Patricia Nash to support a worthy cause, raising money to fight against breast cancer. To kick off Breast Cancer Awareness month, Nash will be auctioning off 18 of her signature Barcellona Saddle Bags signed by these stars and the designer, benefitting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF). Each celebrity is auctioning off a signed handbag and some are filling it with their on-the-go must-haves – from lip gloss to sunglasses to their favorite book – so any woman can get a piece of their favorite celeb and feel good about doing it since 100% of proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (now that's some guilt free splurging).
