Day 1265 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Santa's Here | Irregular Choice 

I'm back with another festive pair from the new Irregular Choice Christmas collection.  Last week, I wore the wonderfully titled Looks Like Rain Dear and today, Santa's Here, which are exclusive to IC.  I'll admit, I really wasn't sure about these.  However, I was ordering another couple of pairs and thought I'd try these out and as is often the case, I ended up falling for these, more than the others! 

Day 1261 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Hot Shot | Irregular Choice 

An old pair of IC's for you today after my Charlotte Olympia glitter perspex heels last week.  Hot Shot were a style from SS11, which I found on eBay a few years later.  I was never very sure about this heel, mainly, was it too low for me?  It is quite, especially given the bigger platform which is half hidden and half  visible.  It takes the heel down to under 3", but they were such a good find I thought they were worth a try and I do really like them.

Day 1235 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Trixy (blue/teal) | Irregular Choice 

Last week I shared the newest variation of gold-heeled Trixy unicorn courts and today I have the pair I was even more intrigued to see in person.  The reason being, these have a brand new coloured heel.  Still mirrored metallic, but in a bright turquoise.  It's totally my type of colour, so I was instantly attracted to it from the teaser (without even seeing the uppers). 

Day 1231 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Carni Val | Irregular Choice 

Today I've been thinking about some of my all-time favourite IC styles, having shown you a couple lately (the bunny Lapin boots last week and Smitten Kitten from the amazing Family Reunion collection) and the pair I'm showing you today are definitely up there. The heel-less wedge is one of my favourite heel shapes and probably the one that raises most questions. It confuses people for sure! I've said it with all my other styles and I'll say it again, you honestly don't feel any different to wearing a regular wedge heeled shoe. Yes, your foot is completely supported, no, they aren't difficult to walk in and no, you don't need to adapt your style of walking in any way.  You truly forget there isn't a regular heel there.  

Day 1229 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Smitten Kitten | Irregular Choice 

A while back I went through about a years worth of folders on my laptop looking for shoes I hadn't yet shared here but already had pictures of. I've no idea why I didn't get to review these at the time. I bought most of this collection the day it launched as it was and remains one of my all-time favourite releases. It was the Family Reunion collection in Spring 2019, celebrating 20 years of Irregular Choice and this specific range focused on character heels, which you should all know by now, I love. It was a near perfect launch for me; bright colours, quirky materials and trims and obviously these amazing character heels, reinvented, some of which we hadn't seen since their original release. The cat heel was one of those.

Day 1226 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Bougainvillea | Irregular Choice 

This was a brand new character heel which launched last year for AW21.  Whilst I was really taken with the sad wee face on the dog, none of the uppers screamed at me.  Out of them all, these green glitter courts appealed the most, so I got them in the sale and I'm so glad I did.  They are really beautiful. 

Day 1216 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Slummber Party | Irregular Choice 

Another archive style for you today, with these ankle boots from AW17. I was so torn with which colour to buy back then. They came in pink and black as well as this blue and I know I usually go for blue or green, but I was genuinely tempted with the others, especially the pink.

Day 1203 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Liebe | Irregular Choice 

An oldish pair for you today, from the SS19 collection.  Many of the style names that season were "love" (or similar) in another language, these being German.  I actually have them in the yellow/peachy combo too, they also came in black. 

Day 1192 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Hiccup | Irregular Choice 

Hi gang! Just a quick post this week as I don't have time to edit more photos (these were from Instagram in 2019).  I would've worn different tights had I known I was posting here as resizing the pics results in moiré because they are shiny and shimmery.  Anyway, I've been trying to be semi-social this past week or so (given that I never go out), so have been signing up to lots of online classes and events.  This week, I have the Glamour Big Beauty Call, next week it's Vogue's 5 Days Of Beauty.  I also regularly attend Guerlain and Clarins masterclasses, but for someone that never has anything planned, I'm worrying I'll forget to attend or that I'm double booking (think it's Clarins and Glamour tomorrow, then Guerlain and Glamour on Thursday).  I'm trying to get everything done before the classes, as I know I'll tire myself out if I try to do two things at once, but my head's all over the place and I just got side-tracked by the delivery of 4 parcels (a long wait until payday again 🤣)!  Anyway nothing to do with these boots.  

Day 1163 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Irregular Choice Roarsum (by Tomi Platts)

I'm back with another shoe fit review and this is a pair I'll also be reviewing in closer detail on Pink Haired Princess in the near future, so keep an eye out for that.  I did blog the other week over there and explained that I have a new laptop, so I'm struggling with uploading and editing photos and I do feel the colour is 'off' here, but thankfully just of my legs and the background rather than the actual shoes and that's what you're here to see!  So, Tomi designed this colourway of the mega popular Roarsum dino heels.  You probably know I have a pair of the originals (fit review here), in the croc-patent-floral material, so I'll refer back to those in this post, along with the other dino heels that launched last year for Family Reunion, Jurassotops.

Day 1151 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Alaska Irregular Choice

I wasn't going to have a Shoesday post this week as I have a lot on and didn't think I'd manage that as well (I wasn't organised with photos).  However, I was snapping these for 365 Of Irregular Choice on Instagram and quickly popped them on and it turned into enough photos for a post, so here we are.  I've wanted these shoes for ages, any of the painted wedge styles to be honest, I wasn't overly fussed which colour (though y'know me and green or blue options and these do come in blue) and these popped up, but a size too small.  I wondered if I should just get them anyway and either try and swap them for one of the pairs in my size or for something else.  I also secretly hoped they would fit in the smaller size and I'd get to keep them!  Turns out, they do and I can. 

Day 1150 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Rum Punch Irregular Choice 

Last week's Shoesday photos didn't go to plan, so I decided to scrap that post and start afresh for this week. I got a massive delivery last Monday of loads of new Irregular Choice shoes from their Hidden Gems sale. Nothing super special, but things I've had my eye on for ages, but never been able to buy because instead my money goes on the limited releases; character heels, Disney and the like. Rum Punch have been on my list for a long time. I love it when IC invent a new heel shape, they've had lots of interesting ones over the years and this is super weird and brilliant. From the back view, they look like standard stiletto heels, but turn sideways and you'll see they are almost wedge like. Not at all what you expect! If you stand from a front-side view, they do genuinely look like wedge heels (2nd image below), it's freaky.

Day 1147 - Well Way Up North Where The Air Gets Cold

Shoes: Irregular Choice Savan swan heels 

No Shoesday this week, as I've got a lot on, so haven't had time to shoot anything new.  Instead I have an outfit for you from last New Year...well this year, you know what I mean.  I think you saw my Christmas outfits, but I never got around to posting this one.  We spent it at home, as we'd been at my sister's for Christmas, so it was quiet and I hadn't planned my outfit at all.  I can get a bit jaded of the Christmas thing once it's over (I love the run-up), so I think this was me saying "no more Christmas shoes and red and green"! 

Day 1134 - Did I Let Go Of Your Hand For A Castle Made Of Sand

Shoes: Blue Carni Val Irregular Choice 

Hello gang, how are you all today?  No Shoesday post yesterday as I was busy photographing the new fairy toadstool shoes (see initial snaps here) and I collapsed in a heap afterwards and slept all afternoon.  As much as I'd have liked to get the fit reviews up for those styles and for you to see (especially the boots) on my feet, there's no way I would've been able to stand for photos.  My legs were unresponsive!  So instead I have an outfit post today of a pair of shoes you've seen before.  I've decided to go back to doing outfit posts outside of my Shoesday ones and reserving Tuesday for never before seen here shoes.  I have enough of both to keep me going for some time! 

Day 1121 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Irregular Choice blue and pink birdcage Maya boots 

I have the very latest character heel from Irregular Choice to show you today. I've just reviewed them in more detail on Pink Haired Princess, so head over there afterwards for that. I said there that they are a similar shape to my Glissade or Call Me Cinders in the foot, though obviously these are a taller boot. They hit mid-calf on me and I bought them in my usual size (5/38) after much deliberating. Both those other styles I sized up in, hence the dilemma. Glissade were super small and just fitted in the bigger size, CMC were more generous, so a little bit of wiggle room in the size up. I've been finding IC big lately (mostly) and I figured with the zip and laces, I could fiddle around until they fit.

Day 1108 - Shoesday Tuesday (Extra)

Shoes: Irregular Choice Sherbet Ice Cream* (Disney Mickey & Friends) 

"What's this?" I hear you ask, Shoesday Tuesday on a Friday? Well seeing as this collection has just gone live and I know how tricky it can be when you don't know which size to buy online, I thought you'd want the fit information on these as soon as possible.

Day 1105 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Irregular Choice pink Rainbunny 

Hello! I'm sorry I've not been very steady with blogging over the past 2 months. I seem to have bursts of trying to get on and do things and then I'm either too tired and sore to do anything else or completely unmotivated. Last Tuesday I totally did plan to publish a Shoesday post, but my gallstones had other ideas! It takes so much out of me after an attack, that I need days to recover. Anyway, this week, I had to show you the brand new shoes and scrap whatever I chose for last week. It does mean pyjamas, but you're accustomed to that by now I think (and they're cute so who cares?).

Day 1094 - Shoesday Tuesday (Extra)

Shoes: Irregular Choice Secret Squirrel 

I'm back again for another squirrel instalment! How are you enjoying the daily Shoesday posts so far? These are the final squirrel heels I tried, so far you've seen Furry O Nutty which I'm keeping and Nibbles McNutty that I'm returning. This pair, Secret Squirrel, I really want to keep too, even although I told myself I could only have one. I knew it would be a hard decision. They are indeed another green pair, but once more completely different in style and the shade of green.

Day 1093 - Shoesday Tuesday (Extra)

Shoes: Irregular Choice Furry O Nutty 

Hello lovelies. Yes, it's not Tuesday, but I'm bringing you Shoesday styles all week long. "Get in", as my nephew would say! These are the second squirrel heels I have to show you, Nibbles McNutty from yesterday are here. This pair are called Furry O Nutty. Like seriously, can we talk about how brilliant these names are? I want them for that alone, without even seeing the shoe! Furry are unlike anything else in my collection, so definite keepers for me (my family were pretty adamant about it tbh). That's not to say I haven't seen something like them before. I'm going to put a photo up on Instagram later, it'll make you chuckle, but I basically rocked this style in 1984. As slippers of course, not shoes! Don't they remind you of baffies? I'm sure my Granny had very similar ones to these, minus the squirrel heel obviously!

Day 1092 - Shoesday Tuesday (Extra)

Shoes: Irregular Choice Nibbles McNutty 

Hello, hello. I'm so excited that I've managed to blog three days in a row! Shoesday Tuesday is my favourite type of blog post because I used to love my regular OOTD/SOTD posts, so now I'm no longer able for that, this is the substitute. So yeah, I'm pretty excited to be revealing a new pair of shoes to you on a daily basis. I still have plenty more posts to start off next year and the remainder of this one, so no worries about using them all up here. Ok, so squirrels are the latest character heel instalment from Irregular Choice. As much as I love to see new interpretations of classic characters, it's always completely thrilling to see brand new animals or people. The squirrels are reasonably low, more along the lines of lambs, pandas, flamingo than the deer or bunnies and unicorns and so there's no platform on any of the 8 available colourways. There's three different styles and I bought one from each on Friday and somehow managed to pick the green colourway in each style! Well if it ain't broke...! I'm not keeping them all, I just couldn't decide online and wanted to see them in person.
