Kick-start the holiday season with the makers of Baileys® Original Irish Cream by celebrating the two things women find most irresistible about a holiday get-together -- amazing party shoes and a delicious drink. The Baileys Holiday Shoe Collection of one-of-a-kind Baileys-inspired designs will be sold via online auction to benefit Clothes Off Our Back®. The national non-profit organization auctions clothing, jewelry and other items donated by top celebrities to help support many causes around the world, including the fight against hunger.

    To support the cause while indulging in a love of fashion, shoe aficionados and their friends ages 21 and older can visit
Clothes Off Out Back to view and bid on one-of-a-kind Baileys-inspired women's shoes created by some of the best designers in the business: Alejandro Ingelmo, Farylrobin, Rafe, Shree Moni and Vanessa Noel. The auction runs from November 11th to December 2nd, and bidding starts at $75, with all money raised going to charity.

    Each designer has created one pair* of shoes inspired by Baileys Original Irish Cream -- which means rich, irresistible shoes. What's a more perfect holiday gift for a shoe lover (be it yourself or someone else) than a one-of-a-kind pair that reminds her of Baileys, her favorite holiday drink?

    "We're really excited to combine two irresistible temptations -- Baileys and shoes -- in a way that benefits a great cause during the
holidays," says Dana Yerid, brand director for Baileys. "Whether you're enjoying it with friends at a holiday party or a small gathering at home,
Baileys adds 'yum' and delight to the season's festivities. Slip on a fabulous pair of designer shoes with your favorite party dress, pour a glass of Baileys and you have everything you need for perfectly delicious holiday get-togethers."

    Baileys is also opening two holiday shoe stores, one in New York City and one in Los Angeles. Each store will be stocked with deliciously
luxurious women's shoes (in a variety of sizes) from designers such as Casadei, Sergio Rossi, and L.A.M.B. Every pair of shoes is just $75, with all proceeds going directly to Clothes Off Our Back. With a new pair of delicious party shoes in hand and a donation to a wonderful charity, the only think left to do will be to raise a glass and enjoy more yum this holiday -- responsibly.
