VF: Hi Amanda, I've actually been on the hunt for a pair of comfy walking shoes myself. One particular shoe that has received great reviews for being comfy are TOMS shoes. They're also the latest celebrity must-have and have been spotted on celebs such as Mary-Kate Olsen, Jessica Alba, Julia Roberts and Sienna Miller to name a few. They also help a great cause. For every shoe bought, a pair will be donated to a child in need. They retail for about $50. Click here to find a store near you.
Here are a couple of options for cute tote bags all under $100.
