There’s nothing better than an opportunity to look your best – while also helping out a charity. That’s what NeNe Leakes has in mind with the new shoe design that she has recently created. The “Nethia” design is a black boot that is ankle-length and has platform heels and a zipper.  Posting a photo of her hot new design on Twitter, NeNe said, “I love this ‘Nethia’ shoe! I’m very proud of it & created it myself 4 a great charity.”

The shoes can be found on ShoeDazzle’s website, a brilliant creation from Kim Kardashian where style-minded women can get fashionable shoes, handbags, accessories and more each month made by leading designers and celebrities. While ShoeDazzle.com used to be a subscription mail-order service only, they’ve recently started offering all times for $39.95 with free shipping!

And, the best part of purchasing NeNe’s latest design is that all profits from the shoe will go towards Saving Our Daughters. This is a nonprofit that works to help teen girls with issues of bullying, date abuse, hate crimes, school violence, violence against women and other self-esteem issues. They are making important strides to boost the self esteem of girls everywhere.

Shoes…fashion…charity…self esteem….it’s a combination that can’t be beat.

Saks Fifth Avenue participated in the charitable holiday spirit with a fashion event to support the international charity Save the Children.

Event co-chair, Shonu Pande, described Save the Children’s “Survive to Five” program, which the event was initiated to benefit. She told the packed audience “One dollar will buy an antibiotic course for a week for a child with pneumonia.” “So what you do here tonight will make a very real difference in the lives of children across the globe.” There was a festive mood and guests were inspired to buy by Saks’ promise to donate ten percent of the sales to Save the Children.
Model Deanna Bastianich and Luz Agrest modeled beautifully . “This is my second year modeling for this event,” said Deanna.

Luz Agrest said “It’s just wonderful to see so many people here to support the work of Save the Children,” Luz said. “And it’s fun to wear these beautiful clothes. This Gucci dress is gorgeous.”
