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!

Shoes: Poker Joker | Irregular Choice 

My only shoe buy from the IC summer sale and my third variation of this style (4th of the heel).  Last week, I shared the very beautiful Ava's Aviary birdcage heels from several years back.  The dice heel was first introduced in August 2015, with Poker Joker in two colourways (I bought the sequins ones).  Then three sequins PJ's launched as part of the Bring Back collections in 2021, with a further two pairs released earlier this year.  You may remember I bought a pair, but I was holding out for these ones to go into the sale.

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.

Shoes: Garden Gala (green) | Irregular Choice 

Last week I reviewed Bunny Palette which sadly had to be returned, I'm still gutted about that, but there's no point in keeping something I was unhappy with, especially if I couldn't cover that part.  This week, I have something you've seen before but in a different colour. 

Day 1252 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Vargas elevated | Vivienne Westwood 

If I threw you a curveball last week with the (almost) flat Irregular Choice Booyah, then you'll feel much more at home with these high heels and big platforms.  When I got these shoes last month, they immediately went onto my favourites list, I absolutely love them.  They'd been on my radar, but I hadn't been keeping a close eye on them until the sales started.  Luckily for me, the place that had them the cheapest and still in my size, made further reductions just days later, so there was no hesitation, I bought them right away.  They were the last pair and have since gone in most sizes elsewhere, so I was very lucky.  I actually own these on Stardoll and wear them a lot there, which was what made me look them up again.  It always makes me weirdly satisfied when my virtual me and the real me own the same clothes! 

Day 1251 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Booyah | Irregular Choice 

I finally made it into the shoe room, emptied the overspill and photographed a few recent new pairs for you, so there's lots to look forward to in the coming weeks.  I thought I'd choose something very different (for me) today, after something a little more regular, Odette swan heels, last week.  These sandals/trainers/platforms/flatforms? launched last Spring/Summer and I liked them right away, even although they are far from my usual style.  I'm a sucker for fur, it must be that! 

Day 1246 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Teddy Toes | Irregular Choice 

Last week I shared my polar bear sliders from SS19 and today I'm going back another couple of years to SS17. This style came in 3 colours, each with a separate name, as they were slightly different. The mint pair with short ears and pompom tail, resembling a bear are Teddy Toes. The pink with longer ears and pompom tail are Cream Puff, resembling a bunny and then the black pointed ears with longer, thinner tail are Kitty Paws, a cat.

Day 1240 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Quartz Order | Irregular Choice

I got these boots for an absolute steal, alongside the Shoot For The Stars courts I shared last week.  They were part of the AW20 diamond heel release, which featured a much slimmed down version of the old jewel heel seen on the likes of Diamontina and Shimmy.  You may recall my favourite from the newer launch was Delicate Diamond in green and then I later got the red version in the sale.  Quartz Order came in four colourways; plain black fabric, a Prince Of Wales style check with rainbow finish, metallic camouflage and these, rainbow metallic. 

Day 1239 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Shoot For The Stars | Irregular Choice 

Today I have another style from AW21, after my Little Red Riding Hood inspired ankle boots last week, from the same season. Shoot For The Stars grabbed my attention when they launched, but unsure of how practical they'd be for me, I didn't buy them. I kept going back to them and decided to take the plunge recently at a very good sale price. They came in 2 colours and I had the option of both. Initially I was drawn to the more green pair (you know me!), but it wasn't until I saw 'real' photos of these that I realised how green and blue they were too.  The lightning bolt on this pair, have a mirrored finish with printed stars.  The colour flips between bright green and blue in the light, often with purple in between, which you'll see throughout my photos. 

Day 1237 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Hop To It | Irregular Choice 

I've overdone it this past week (making a 40th birthday card for my sister), so the new shoes I'd hoped to show you, will have to wait another week.  I bought Hop To It, back when they launched in Spring 2018.  The photos are from a year later, when I was doing #365daysofIrregularChoice on Instagram and I have to say my feet have clearly grown since. 

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 1232 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Daisy Dreams | Irregular Choice 

When I spoke last week about having to compromise on certain aspects of footwear these days, these boots immediately sprung to mind.  Daisy Dreams launched for SS19 and while I instantly loved the theme and colours, the heel height was really off-putting for me.  With such a large platform, it essentially takes the heel down to a very small 2 1/4", which means your foot is almost flat inside.  It's nowhere near the elevation my feet are accustomed to. 

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 1230 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Lapin | Irregular Choice 

Another archive style that I've never  reviewed here before.  Lapin came out in AW19 and I bought them straight away (they also came in black).  There's no way I was missing out on these, they're beautiful and you know how much I love a boot. 

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 1225 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Green Elephunk | Irregular Choice 

A very old style for you today, I can't believe I've never reviewed these yet.  After pining after them for years in the grey and never finding them in the right size and condition, I eventually found the purple pair.  Then quickly after that the grey, then these popped up later and in the end I have all 3 colours they came in.  The other two are in the size up (39/6), which I found (from past experience) I needed in the split toe styles, but actually these are fine too, so there must not be much between them. 

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 1212 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Green fluffy, furry courts | Dolce & Gabbana 

I buckled and bought these crazy shoes!  I mentioned them when I bought my leopard print fluffy courts, but honestly I've tried to resist these for over a year now.  Originally from AW18, they kept showing up on TK Maxx and I repeatedly had to talk myself out of buying them.  When they appeared a month or so ago, again, I kept an eye on them and decided when my size went down to low stock I'd buy them...of course, they sold out didn't they? I was really disappointed, then randomly checked one day to find there was one pair, in my size!  What will be, will be, so they say.  

Day 1211 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Hot Stuff | Irregular Choice

These were my third pair of thigh high boots in this style from Irregular Choice.  They were part of the Halloween collection a couple of years ago.  As with previous styles (Satine and Finders Keepers), I worried about their flexibility, especially at the knee when sitting (in the wheelchair) and given that the uppers are entirely sequins (which tend to be stiffer), I only bought these when they were drastically reduced, as I wasn't sure I'd be able to wear them often. 

Day 1209 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Everyone Loves You | Irregular Choice x Sanrio 

Here's the final pair from my Sanrio Irregular Choice order a few weeks back.  The pair we saw in previews, that I was sure I wanted and when they arrived, sure I wanted to keep.
