You don’t really ever need a good reason to stock your shoe closet, but in May, Rachel Zoe is giving you one. She’s donating 10% of the sales from her May ShoeDazzle boutique to her favorite charity, Baby2Baby, which supplies needy L.A. families with baby gear and children’s clothing.

“It’s just not okay that one in three mothers has to choose between diapers and food in Los Angeles,” says Zoe, who has long been a Baby2Baby “Angel” and supporter. “The founders of ShoeDazzle have also been longtime supporters of Baby2Baby so it just made sense.”

Speaking of tough choices: Asking Zoe to pick her favorite in May’s collection is nearly impossible. “I love so many of them,” she tells PEOPLE. “I love everything from their basics to the ones with spikes.”

You’ve Got To See This Totally Amazing, Super-Tiny Dollhouse by Estee Stanley

We wouldn’t ordinarily call Estee Stanley (the long-time stylist and design guru to stars including Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel) a micro-manager, but in this case, we mean it as a compliment.

After all, her latest design endeavor is creating gorgeous rooms in miniature for an ultra-stylish dollhouse. It was one of ten tiny mansions that were for being auctioned at the Kaleidescope Ball at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where more than $1.7 million was raised for the Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA.

“This was the first time I had ever done anything like this, and it was one of the top five hardest things I have ever done,” Stanley tells PEOPLE. “I had to have everything made, and things half the size of my finger are $200!”

And while she had plenty of jaw-dropping miniature originals (including an Eames aluminum group desk chair and Verner Panton dining chairs) the most amazing was a custom Retna painting. “I was like come here, please help me do this dollhouse and he came … I didn’t do anything for that room until I saw what he tagged on the wall.” (See close-up photos, below!)

Any girl who has pinched her pennies for a pair of to-die-for shoes or a stunning statement bag knows there’s nothing quite like the experience of owning them. And 90 CFDA members, from Prabal Gurung to Monique Lhuillier, agree, which is why they’ve teamed up with eBay for the third annual “You Can’t Fake Fashion” initiative, dedicated to fighting counterfeiting in the fashion industry.

Each designer put his or her own spin on the basic “You Can’t Fake Fashion” tote (which will be available for $50 on March 18, when the auction goes live), and eBay offered us a sneak peek at the creations of four of our favorite designers.
