This is a fabulous event you shoe addicts (yeah yeah, pot calling the kettle black…) don’t want to miss!  Did that really say 50% off designer shoes??? Yes… yes it does say 50% off… Aaaand it’s to support charitable programs. Who knew buying shoes would be such a good deed?

**UPDATE**- This just in… Film and TV personality, Vanessa Minnillo will be serving as honorary chair with the hosting committee.  It’s definitely looking to be a star-studded event! Woohoo!
