Lifestyle Blogger Wins GBP500 Next Vouchers in New Year, New Shoes Competition

    LEICESTER, ENGLAND, January 30, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Blogger and artist Karys Munns at Who Is Grumble Beard? has won a GBP500 Next gift card in Next's New Year, New Shoes competition hosted by Laura Budd at A Daisy Chain Dream blog. For the competition, bloggers had to talk through their favourite pair of shoes and why they love them, then going on to showcase their style picks from Next's Spring Summer shoe collections. The winning post, which can be found at http://whoisgrumblebeard.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/shoes-pick.html combines Karys's love of fashion and art by incorporating Next shoes into her pieces.

For her entry, Laura begins by talking about her beloved pair of electric blue heels, which she has in a variety of colours. She then explains, "As a special feature of this blog I thought I would post my picks from Next's shoe collection alongside some of my sketchbook pages. I put my interest in fashion partly down to my enjoyment of getting composition right in my artwork. So it only seemed fitting I do a bit of a first on my blog, and combine both!"

The first two pairs are shoe boots and some black lace up western boots, which she would style with opaque black tights and a cute skirt and sweater on a slightly chilly day. Next are some grey embroidered boots and black zip block heel boots, which she says, "I have wanted some like this for ages, and it would be great before the winter is out to get some of these cosy and stylish looking shoes."

Host blogger Laura explained, "I chose her because of the incredible artwork she used to illustrate her post, I loved the creativity and her picks!"
