One exciting event that will be held this weekend is The Xchanging 158th Annual Oxford & Cambridge University Varsity Boat Race on the Thames River in London. It's a big tradition that always has lots of great style. I attended last year (Go Light Blue!) and loved seeing all of the boat club alumni and students wearing their respective teams' jackets. The Boat Race will be broadcast live tomorrow morning (Saturday 4/7) on BBCAmerica at 8:45am ET.Rugby Ralph Lauren makes a few fantastic "boat club" blazers that look just like the real thing (see below) in both Oxford (dark blue) and Cambridge (light blue) colors! Additionally, your purchase of these or many of their other fantastic items will support a great cause. The Ralph Lauren Corporation is kicking off a fantastic philanthropic campaign this spring. Its allocating $250,000 to donate to its Pink Pony Fund for cancer care and prevention. The Pink Pony Fund's mission states, "Pink Pony supports programs for early diagnosis, education, treatment and research and is dedicated to bringing patient navigation and quality cancer care to medically underserved communities." Ralph Lauren plans to raise these funds through their "Giving in Style Event" in which they are offering YOU 25% off select merchandise today. Enter GIVE2012 or RLGIVE2012 at checkout. This offer is available on both RalphLauren.com and Rugby.com and in their retail stores (excludes outlets). I've checked online and the code can be used on sale items in addition to regularly priced items. So, show off your old-school preppy style and get these "smart" blazers for 25% off today!
