If you know me, you know I love shoes, so when this invitation arrived on my doorstep, I was both intrigued and very, very, extremely keen.

I have been a fan of Spend-Less Shoes going way back because traditionally I do like to spend less and get more. If you follow me on Instagram, you'd have seen a lot of my brown boots this winter. But did you know they are an Australian company AND they are headquartered right here in Adelaide? They send their buyers all over the world to source the best in shoe trends, delivering them back to us in the form of affordable footwear and have been doing so since 1988.

The event was, quite frankly, stunning with many a gorgeous detail and lots of beautifully-presented food and drink.




An Instagram competition invited guests to collect a passport and play dress-ups in front of various location stations, including NYC, Santorini, spring racing, a wedding, a garden party and a boho doorway, tying in with the hashtag #thepairtotakeyouanywhere. You can see my entries over on Insta . . . find me at @almostposh and go ahead, show me some love, I don't mind.

Here's one of my outfits, featuring the Heidi shoe in rose gold . . .


I took my friend and Almost Posh contributor Bridie along as my chief photographer and we had a great time swanning around the various stations, admiring the outfits of other guests, playing with shoes and enjoying the occasional nibble.




These are some of the lovely ladies from Spend-Less who welcomed us to the event, worked the Shoe Bar and answered questions about the brand. And also gave us the hot tip that shoes would be given away at the end of the night!


 Don't mind if I do . . .


Not to mention a lovely goodie bag with further shoe-based treats within! Talk about spoilt.

Thank you to Be Young PR for the invitation, Spend-Less Shoes for the party and the many suppliers that contributed to the event . . .
