Shoes: Looks Like Rain Dear | Irregular Choice 

A break from the planned continuation of unicorn heels, after red Trixy last week, because a week past Friday Irregular Choice launched their Christmas collection. Quite early for once! I bought several pairs and they came the next day and I'm going to do fit reviews for each and then hopefully get a more in-depth look up on Pink Haired Princess later. The weather has definitely not been camera friendly this past week, so I hastily emptied the piles of shoe boxes from the shoe room floor when I spied some light at the weekend. I managed two pairs before collapsing in a heap, so here's Looks Like Rain Dear, brilliant name by the way!

Day 1263 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Trixy (red, gold heel) | Irregular Choice 

I hadn't realised it was as long as a month since I last posted, IC's Flaming June.  I've not been feeling the best, the usual end of year exhaustion, which I don't understand because I've done absolutely nothing for the last couple of years.  I did have the dentist last month, which was my first time out of the house in a while and I'm guessing it's that that's taken it out of me.  Anyway, I've been buying shoes, Irregular Choice, which usually wouldn't be a surprise, but if you've been keeping up with my blog, you'll know not much has appealed to me in recent collections, so actually it's pretty rare. 

Day 1257 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Quartz Order (camo) | Irregular Choice 

Apologies for the late post and no-show last week, I've been struggling after an optician's appointment. As it's been years, I'm not accustomed to being out of the house, so I'm absolutely exhausted. Last time, I showed you my bargain Garden Gala and today, I have another too-good-to-resist purchase from Unrulyu a while back.

Day 1254 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Merrie Melodies | Irregular Choice (Looney Tunes) 

Today I have the second part of my Looney Tunes haul from Irregular Choice after the Saturday Morning ankle boots last week.  Unlike those, the style today wasn't an IC exclusive, so is available from most stockists and also came in a darker colourway.  The cloud and Tweety Pie portion of the heel is exactly the same as last time, though the platform, as I mentioned last week is mirrored gold.  As I said then, while I like the slightly reflective nature of it, I do think it looks a bit cheap.  You'll see I have one downward looking bird and one sitting up to attention.  I think both were a bit droopy on the boots.

Day 1253 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Saturday Morning | Irregular Choice (Looney Tunes) 

I have another high heel for you this week, after my Vivienne Westwood tartan shoes last time. Irregular Choice just launched their Looney Tunes collection and loving this new character heel, I ordered a couple of pairs intending to keep just one (it came in this ankle boot or two colourways of a court shoe). The pair I have today are definitely my favourite of the two, so let's start with them. This style is exclusive to IC, so only available online from their website and from their Brighton store (the only one left in the UK currently). Firstly, I adore their name, "Saturday Morning", it brings back memories of watching cartoons when I was little with my sisters.  When I was 12 I started a paper round, so TV had to wait until I got home (I recall rushing home for The Legend Of Prince Valiant). Even as a kid though, I have to admit I got really frustrated with the continual chase and animosity between duos such as Tweety and Sylvester and Tom & Jerry, it tired me out!

Day 1244 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Glazed & Confused | Irregular Choice 

Another one from the archives for you today, see Barnacle Betty from last week if you missed those.  This week, ah, another pair I compromised on.  Story of my IC life these past few years.  I wish these had a higher heel.  Sorry, if you're tired of hearing me say it, I'm tired of never getting high enough heels to be honest!  It's actually rare to see genuine high heels at IC now.  They've never been one to follow trends (and actually high platforms and heels are in fashion right now), so if it's fallen out of favour, that shouldn't make a difference to IC.  Maybe I'm in the minority, I don't know, but I only bought these because they were cheap and I otherwise liked the design, but I'm not a fan of my foot feeling almost flat inside. 

Day 1234 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Trixy (gold, black/multi) | Irregular Choice

Finally something launched at Irregular Choice that I like! We've been seeing some older styles brought back in new colourways (remember the Poker Joker dice boots I showed you a couple of months ago?) and last Friday was the turn of the unicorn court shoe, Trixy.  There were two options along with matching Magic Pony handbags. 

Day 1227 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Poker Joker | Irregular Choice 

A brand new release for you this week. These updated dice boots just relaunched in two exclusive to IC colourways. Last year, was it just last year? Three new colours were released of the Poker Joker boot, first introduced for AW15, as part of the Bring Back collection. I really liked the blue pair, but couldn't afford them at the time and typically, they sold out, never to return and so I had to make-do with the bauble version at Christmas! Not quite the same, sadly.

Day 1218 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Wish Magic | Irregular Choice 

New pair of shoes incoming! It's been a while since I've had a new season/new style from IC, but these wand heels from their Magic Sceptre collection that launched last week, really spoke to me. First though, I have to apologise that the photos aren't the best. The first pair of tights I wore were a disaster when it came to editing (I suspected as much and should've trusted my instincts, but you never know for sure until you've started resizing them online), so I had to reshoot the whole lot. By then, the sun was shining and creating all sorts of brightness and shadows and my phone wasn't positioned as well as the first time and chopped off the bottom of the shoes, so I had to try for a third time...I was beat by this point!  I've salvaged what I can, albeit with shadows and Casper legs, but I've covered all angles as usual.

Day 1215 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Bobs Ur Uncle | Irregular Choice 

An oldie for you today and old photos too, that I haven't yet shown here. I usually take pictures at the weekend, but this week, I just felt so drained. I kept contemplating going into the shoe room and then remembered the piles of shoe boxes I always have to move and decided against it! I have loads of styles I haven't yet fit-reviewed here anyway and many I've already photographed for other posts or social media, so I suppose I can use them and stop making life difficult for myself. I'm also going through my annual shock at how little daylight there is at this time of year and how quickly it gets dark. Why does it surprise me every time?! So it's maybe better I use up old photos during these months and pray for a few hours of light if I buy anything new!

Day 1202 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Heavens Above (dinosaur) | Irregular Choice 

You may remember me buying the unicorn version of these shoes early last year. I resisted the dinosaurs for a long time, but a while back, I got them in the sale, when the price was just too good to refuse. At first glance you think they are really similar to the pegasus print, but actually side-by-side, they are quite different.

Day 1194 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Red Sequins AW17 | Dolce & Gabbana

Hi gang, how are you all this week?  No IC today, these are a pair of shoes I bought last year for my birthday.  If you follow my other blog, Pink Haired Princess, you'll know I buy a special pair of shoes for my birthday each year.  Seeing as I turned 40 last year, I decided to space it out throughout the year and bought 4 pairs.  These were the final pair I got and a style I've had my eye on for a long time.  They are from the Autumn/Winter 2017 collection, which featured a lot of these multi-buckled, embellished and sequin designs. 

Day 1191 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Deckchair Diva | Irregular Choice

I had to rake through my photos folders for these images after being too knackered to photograph anything this week, combined with very poor weather.  It's proper dark and cold today, like needing a light on during the day kinda dark and ice hitting your face (so my sister tells me).  Apparently it's to be like this until mid May.  Say it isn't so!  Anyway, I have tonnes of photos I took when I was doing the IC challenge in 2019 on Instagram, including lots of styles I've yet to review here.  This was the ice cream sundae heel (not to be confused with the twice released ice cream cone heels) which launched for Spring 2018.  I bought Arctic Roll, with the pom-poms and tassels, in the summer sale (how I held my nerve until then, I don't know) and then saw these for under £50 on eBay the next January. 

Day 1178 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Delicate Diamond | Irregular Choice 

I forgot I still hadn't shared my thoughts on these, after buying them last year. Money has been really tight, so in 2020 I was trying to not buy anything new at full price...it's hard.  I did drastically reduce launch day purchases, but I'm definitely not a fan of waiting for sales and worse, worrying about and watching them sell-out.  These were part of the new diamond shaped heel collection for AW20, much slimmer (and lighter) than the likes of Diamontina we've previously seen and this particular pair were an exclusive colour to Irregular Choice.  I didn't buy them right away, but once my size went low stock, I buckled.  I just knew I'd be really sad if I didn't get them, as they were the stand-out pair for me in this range.  I made the right decision as they've never been restocked in my size since.  I'm actually really keen on the red/pink pair too, not the colour I'd usually go for, but I think the heel looks really pretty in pale pink. 

Day 1173 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Sleigh Ride | Irregular Choice 

Hello, back with another Christmas style from the recent Irregular Choice launch.  I was supposed to post last week, but was plagued with migraines on top of a cold.  I've still got the cold, I just can't seem to shift it.  Anyway, last time I showed you the advent calendar boots and the boots today are another really innovative concept. 

Day 1172 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Advent Adventures | Irregular Choice

Look what arrived today, just in time for opening!  Let me start by saying the Christmas collection this year from Irregular Choice is literally jaw-dropping.  The light up fabric we were introduced to in the Space Station collection features, the Santa heel is back (yay) and glittery, there's musical heels, paint your own Santa heel and these, advent calendar boots.  If you can't think it up, IC will! 

Day 1167 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes:  Irregular Choice Galactic Thunder 

Another Irregular Choice exclusive colourway for you this week from the lightning bolt heels collection.  I bought both the IC exclusives as the prints and colours appealed to me most.  You can see my furry, unicorn courts here. 

Day 1165 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes:  Irregular Choice Luxovious (by Rowena Barriskill) 

The last of my Irregular Choice Super Fan collection fit reviews today. This is another pair Rowena designed and I've already reviewed them in-depth on Pink Haired Princess, if you haven't seen that. Like I said over there, this rainbow sheen on the snakeskin pattern really, really shines in these photos. You can not only see the high-shine, but all the rainbow colours, it's so cool.

Day 1161 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes:  Irregular Choice A Tale Of Enchantment (Beauty And The Beast)

Onto Belle this week from Beauty & The Beast, which launched alongside The Little Mermaid collection this month as the last of the Disney Princesses at Irregular Choice. I ended up not going for a Belle character heel, which is unusual as characters are usually my thing. I fell for these boots though, honestly the moment I saw them and so I decided to get those and the matching bag and because Ariel is my favourite, her things were basically my priority. I think I said last week, I wasn't going to get Make A Splash because the heels were the same as the boots and I favoured those. Had I done that, I might've gotten a Belle heel, but my budget only stretched so far and I'm so glad I did opt for those shell shoes because they are lovely.

Day 1158 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Irregular Choice The Kringles

What's this? Surely not a new blog post...yes, it is!  I think the last time I blogged here was in summer when I was going through all the Family Reunion collection from May.  It's been a bit of a tough year to manage blogging and everyday stuff, so unfortunately it's fallen by the wayside.  My poor wee blog has forgotten who I am!  I have been keeping up with the #365daysofIrregularChoice challenge on Instagram (well, not quite keeping up, but getting there), so if you're in need of a daily dose of shoe wearing, that's where to hit me up.  300+ items to ogle so far!  I'm realising that we're nearing the end of the year, so I can now grab all the good stuff that I was saving in the hope of getting to wear them for real, but instead I'll probably only be wearing my festive pairs outside now.  Which brings me to this post and I added another couple of pairs to my IC Christmas stash this year.  These are the pair I was most taken with, they are just so, so gorgeous, even better in the flesh than I was expecting.  Last year we were treated to the Ginger's House ankle boot and I really enjoyed having something slightly more casual to choose from.  I have 4 pairs of Santa heels, along with the snow globes from last year, so the boots in comparison were really 'wearable'.  This pair are a bit more, well a lot more glitzy, the gold sequins is dazzling.  Blindingly bright.  They flip to a less shiny silver on the other side if you so wish.  The red glitter parts actually have sporadic tiny gold stars in.  These stars are super pretty, but shed very easily.  I keep catching something glistening on the carpet and find it's another fallen star!
