Soles4Souls…. Change the world, one pair at a time.
Nov 26th
From time to time shoes have played a part in giving back to those less fortunate than others. Soles4Souls are taking admirable steps to spearhead the process and whilst helping those in need they are also providing a simple solution if you want to give back to the environment which in itself deserves recomendation. Many of you out there probably struggle to throw out any old shoes but if you are then Soles4souls are the perfect recepticle to take steps to do so.
How is Soles4Souls Green?
We offer a simple way to help reduce the strain on our environment: donate your “gently worn” footwear to people in need instead of throwing them away. Last year alone, Americans discarded more than 300 million pairs of shoes. When these shoes break down in our landfills, the toxic glue that holds the shoes together can leak into our water supply and atmosphere.

Fearns Carvella’s at auction

Fearne Cotton to auction off Carvella boots
Nice little article by Annabel Sanders
We all know Fearne Cotton is a regular on the best dressed lists of most UK-based glossy mags and deservedly so, methinks. Granted, she has been ridiculed for trying too hard in the past and I have to say, some of her punk-inspired looks do remind me of the style I adopted at 14 as a rebellious teenager – my point being, maybe at 27 years of age she should get over it. But in general, I think she is a good British style example who isn’t afraid to muddle with trends from time to time.
So, I thought it was really cool when I heard that she is planning to auction off her own personal pair of coveted five-inch maroon Carvella lace-up boots for the charity Heels that Heal along with other stars like Kylie Minogue, Cheryl Cole and Leona Lewis, who are donating their Giuseppe Zanotti, Rupert Sanderson and Stella McCartney heels respectively to the cause.
In a bid to raise awareness for the campaign, girl-next-door Fearne struck a very seductive pose in a promotional poster wearing the Carvella boots that will go to auction. Dressed in a skimpy black leotard with sheer panels and a boned structure, the blonde bombshell lay on the ground and looked into the camera with a sexy pout, while making sure to lift her bum high enough into the air so as to reveal just high those fabulous heels are.
They say sex sells, so hopefully that will be the case for this charity auction and help campaigners reach their goal of raising around £500,000.
Do you fancy nabbing yourself a pair of a celebrity’s designer shoes?
