Full disclosure: This competition is sponsored by Chambord.

I was lucky enough recently to be given a $100 voucher to buy ma’self a pair of kicks from Australia’s number one online shoe store, StyleTread. They stock everything from PeepToe (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/peeptoe) to Jason Brunsdon, wedges to cute-little-booties.

Of course, I bought a fabulously outrageous pair of Boston Babe shoes (hello, leopard print and peachy pink suede). They arrived at my door a day later (Speedy Gonzales!) I opened the box and fell in love. One little (big) problem: they are just that…too big. Ba-bow!

I OPENED THE BOX AND FELL IN LOVE.

Of course, StyleTread aren’t the number one online shoe store for nothin’. Inside I found a neat little return slip, I called the courier and hey presto! my fabulous I-have-no-idea-what-she’s-wearing-on-her-feet-but-they-look-hot shoes have been arranged to be picked up and returned to their head office, while I wait for my refund to hit my account. Sa’weet.

If only returning a purchase in IRL (in real life) was that easy. Sigh. As for the empty space in my shoe rack? I’m working on filling it right now with a pair of these (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/tassel-heel-navy NULL.html) Gorman babies. Or maybe these. (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/miss-shadow-black NULL.html) Or these. (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/allegra-bordeaux NULL.html) Or these. (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/flamingo-chocolate NULL.html) Or these. (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/darcie-beige NULL.html) Or these. (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/dash-sand NULL.html) Or these.  (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/lindall-black NULL.html) Or these. (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/wendy-grey NULL.html) Or these. (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/moody-black-suede NULL.html) Or these. (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/hart-black-suede NULL.html) Or these. (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/jaia-toast NULL.html) Or these. (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/dalas-coffee NULL.html)  Or these. (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/desna-grape NULL.html) Or these. (http://www NULL.styletread NULL.com NULL.au/social-club-mink-claret NULL.html) Hell, maybe I should get ‘em all! Just playin’ SilverFox! But just quietly, (ssshhhh!) what do y’all think? What pair should I buy next? MC

// My super fast delivery.

// Reow!
