I've always loved all things luxury, but didn't have the opportunity to own any. It feels like I've known about Louis Vuitton since birth (or maybe since the day my equally 10 year old cousin got the white multi colored speedy, but even then I knew it was Louis Vuitton, so like I said...I came out the womb knowing Louis, maybe my mother's placenta was LV LV LV LV. 
). But, I really can't pinpoint down to a day that the obsession with Christian Louboutin started. I know the year I started noticing was 2001. I remember stalking celebs on people.com, etc. and noticing the red soles or watching award shows and just DYING over the dresses (back then it was designer dresses for homecoming, xmas dance, prom, etc that I splurged on) and of course after that they would show their shoes. After that I made it a point to know who they were designed by and why they were red. I really think it was the red sole that got me hooked first. Wasn't really a specific style. Although, my first favorite style was Rolando and VP. The red just made me weak at the knees. Since then, I've talked about not much else. I would buy steve maddens and know what style they were replicating. The first time (in 07) my DBF (at the time) took me to NYC for New Years, he planned a WINDOW shopping trip. I found the shoe floor at Saks and DIED, literally died. I was in tears touching all the beautiful CLs. He (like someone else on here) had to physically remove me. I talked about it so much when he took me back he made up that they were doing renovations and the floor was closed. 
I think he was scared I was going to make him buy me a pair...
. I really never thought they were within my reach so I never ventured to the CL boutique. This past Christmas ('10), my mom told me she got me one present only and that it was a good one. I never thought in a million years she would spend 700 on a pair of CLs. But, she went on here and researched it herself (she knew about this site because I've been a member since NYC :giggles: and would talk about little else than all the shoes you lovely ladies own) found my size and ordered from neimans. They were a perfect fit! So, where did it all start? Let's go with the womb again. Seems like a good enough answer to me!
