As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been doing what I can with my volunteer time to support Go Red for Women, an important initiative that educates women and girls about the risks of heart disease, the NUMBER ONE KILLER of American women. I also happen to be pals with an incredibly talented designer named Julianne Applegate, the creative force behind JulieApple bags.

I am happy to share with blog readers the fantastic, special edition “GO Red” handbag, exclusively from JulieApple.

Julianne has graciously offered to donate $50 from the sale of each bag to the Go Red campaign. They are gorgeous bags, and as someone who has seen and carried the JulieApple line, I can tell you that these are not only hip, super cool bags, they are also sturdy and practical as all get out. Plus, JulieApple is dedicated to using fair trade practices and innovative environmental approaches to her production processes.

So please consider buying one of these special edition bags. Buy one for yourself, your daughter or your best friend. Buy one to celebrate the life of a woman you know who has been impacted by heart disease. Buy one because you will end up with a great handbag, but will also have made a $50 donation to Go Red in the same fell swoop. Can’t beat that!

Thanks for reading, and please help me spread the word!
