Humble Beginnings

For the longest time I'd been meaning to start blogging to document my (often opinionated) thoughts on life and the long list of things that interest me - fashion, food, art, pop culture, technology, travel...I could go on.

I never really intended to start a blog so obviously titled and perhaps indicating a fickle focus on just fashion and shoes, but then a week ago I was given some fantastic news: I had been chosen as the winner of net-a-porter.com's Ultimate Shoe Subscription Competition. Yes, that's right folks, I'd won myself a year's supply of designer shoes (of my choosing!) from one of my favourite online boutiques. My winfall inspired me to start blogging to follow my year long shopping journey (and everything that happens in between) and so, in honour of this year's shoe journey, "A Shoe Affair" begins.

Christian Louboutin 'Anemone' - an all time favourite classic

    Hello! I found your blog via vogue, I think it is wonderful that you won such a great competition, and an amazing idea for your blog! (Maybe you should link it to NAP when you have a few followers??? you just never know...) Anyway, I think your first 3 purchases are very wise, and cant wait to see what is to come!

    Oh wow! How lucky are you!? Once upon a time I won comps like this too... well not quite like this ;) My biggest win was a $3000 Country Road voucher (but before they became cool). Still it was very exciting at the time. Enjoy it!
