Tomorrow's the big day..."FFANY Shoes on Sale"!!!! Jane Treacy will be hosting QVC's annual Benefit for Breast Cancer Thursday night from 6pm to 8pm ET. I hope you get a chance to watch and shop for a good cause. Until then, I thought you might like to get a preview of some of the styles I'll be looking out for!

Put your shopping hats on, here we go!

The Franco Sarto Knee-High Leather Wedge Boots (S6831) are the perfect way to update your fall boot wardrobe. They have a little lift, but it’s a wedge so it’s really comfortable. And, I like the sleek look.

Coach is luxury brand that so many women love, and the Coach Pointed Toe Pumps (S6945) are your chance to get it for "half price!” The pointed toe is coming back, the metallic goes with everything, and it’s so nice to have a shoe that can go dressy for the holiday season.

Michael Kors is beyond fashion royalty. He's probably more like “Fashion Divinity” at this point! There is a great Michael Kors Printed Tote Bag with Leather (S6949) in the show and who wouldn't love to have one of those?!  I love totes.

Calvin Klein is another iconic name and the Calvin Klein Tall Platform Boots with Python (S6827) are gorgeous. I love a platform boot; it’s the kind of thing that gives you height you can live with. The python up the back gives it an unexpected kick as well.

One of the trends we were talking about on Fashion Day is "The High and Low of It," meaning, the high shaft boots and ankle boots or booties are huge for this season. These Vince Camuto Leather Ankle Boots (S6923) are gorgeous. I've seen them in person and they are the perfect pair to wear with jeans, dress pants, or skirts with tights. They are not too trendy, and you'll get years of wear out of them.

The New York Transit PeepToe Shooties (S6891) are definitely all about great fashion. Very sophisticated. For the girl who loves high fashion and has the confidence to really rock a shoe, they are very cool.

I love Cole Haan!!!  I was so excited to see a pair of Cole Haan Leather Kiltie Shooties (S7081) in the show! They are so perfect with tights and a skirt. I’m seeing tassels coming back in and it just makes this shoe pop. A little nod to the men’s wear influence but very feminine.

The Louise et Cie Leather Round Toe Pumps (S7097) are the perfect, classic pump. The heel is 3”, which is very reasonable these days. And, the look will last forever.

All of these shoes will be available tomorrow, so keep these item numbers handy…including (S6834). This is the Frye Suede Tall Boot and it will be gone in a nanosecond! This is the kind of boot you love so much, and wear for so many years, you get it repaired instead of getting a new pair.

I am loving the wedge sneakers and the Nine West Lace-up Wedge Sneakers (S6920) are one of the pairs I’m definitely getting if I get in in time. I have been living in the wedge sneaker with my boot cut jean and love the look and the comfort.  I am not comfortable wearing a regular sneaker on a day-to-day basis when I’m not working out, but the wedge is awesome!

I hope this little preview makes us all ready to shop on Thursday at 6pm ET.  This is an extremely important cause. Approximately 232,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. That's just THIS year! We all know a woman in our life who has been touched by this disease. Despite great advances in early detection and treatment, there is so much more that needs to be done. All the research takes money. This is a way we can all help, all rally around and support other women. Buy a pair of shoes in honor of someone we love who has gone through it. I'll be shopping with you from home, and Jane will be guiding you through the evening. But some shoes are available early! Take advantage of QVC.com and shop for a cause!!!

"See" you Thursday!
