We women have been gifted with the ability to extract a very large amount of joy from shopping for shoes and we rarely need any help enjoying said pleasure, but it is a divine moment when we can shop for shoes, shoes that are on sale mind you, and help someone else out in the process.  Talk about having our cake and eating it too.

Good news for us Tri-State Area gals – this is exactly what we'll be able to do this Saturday courtesy of the 'Step Up & Step Out' Designer Shoe Sale presented by DSW. It will be hosted at the W Hotel on Lexington and will benefit the Step Up Women’s Network, a "national, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to serving women and girls" through providing "opportunities for dynamic social networking, professional mentorship and development, hands-on volunteer work, and health support and education."

The event will kick off with a red-carpet private sale and champagne brunch (where celebs like Vanessa Minnillo, Kelly Rutherford, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Bethenny Frankel will be) followed by the official Designer Shoe Sale which will include pairs from Botkier, Manolo Blahnik, Oscar de la Renta, Sergio Rossi, and many more all at around 50% off! Attendees will get to snack  on cupcakes and enjoy wine in between trying on pairs, and there will even be style lounges with fabulous freebies like yoga, style advisors, and even spa treatments.

Perhaps some of the best news is that this event has been made totally accessible to women on even the tightest of budgets – tickets to the Designer Shoe Sale are only $50, this drops to $25 for Step Up members, and no matter which type you get, if you buy 2 you get 1 free!

So considering shoe shopping events like this don't come around very often, visit www.SUWN.org today to get more info on the event including how you can get your tickets.
