Day Eighty Six - Towering High

I adore these shoes. They are unbelievably huge and almost make me supermodel tall! My doctor even remarked that they were 'real statement shoes'! It was slightly warmer today and for once didn't rain, so I thought I should take advantage with the open front, toeless gladiator style. Hope you all have a good weekend.

Day Eighty Five - Big Bow Beauty

Sorry for the late post. I had a doctors appointment today and was out of the house most of yesterday. I'm very disappointed by the images I took of these shoes, clearly my camera doesn't like them! They seemed to show up speckled, however they are glorious in real life. I was actually stopped 3 times by strangers commenting on how lovely they were. The court shoe is actually black lace, trimmed with ric-rac braid and finished with a large colourful, cotton bow. Beautiful! If you haven't already checked out the new A/W collection from Shoemissy, head over there now. There are even boots this season, I'm so excited!

Day Eighty Four - Stud Lovin'

It's been so wintry this week, I've not been keen to leave the house. However I forced myself out of hibernation in between rainy spells today. It's actually rather treacherous outside with the fallen leaves getting wet, I had to be careful not to slip in my extremely high heels. I thought over time my love for these sandals would wane, but I think it's the opposite, I just love them more! I teamed them with lace socks to avoid looking too summery and for a different look. I'm gutted that I can't wear them again until The Shoe Girl Diaries challenge is over!

Day Eighty Three - Old Style Leopard

It's a quick pic today as I'm very busy blogging for Pink Haired Princess and forgot how much time is required to keep both blogs up to date. I actually have lots of stories about these shoes. They are from Karen Millen and I bought them when I was a student. I treated myself to an entire outfit in their sale one year. It consisted of satin leopard print trousers with matching belt which was covered in jems and beads, a slightly cropped top with thin straps, boned and with the same bead trim around the top and of course, these shoes. It sounds horrendous, head to toe leopard print with purple beading, I know, but somehow I always managed to pull it off. My friend used to say I was the only person she knew that made leopard print look classy!

I got so much wear out of each piece. I had a brown leather pencil skirt I would wear with the top or a black top with the trousers. I can remember going out one night and it was snowing heavily and the taxi couldn't take us up to the nightclub door. We stopped in the adjacent street and I walked barefoot through the snow clutching my satin shoes to avoid ruining them!I also broke the heel one Christmas on the way to church. It just snapped off completely. Utterly devastated, I started crying in the street and had to hobble home, change shoes and run back to church! The Edinburgh KM shop very kindly fixed it after the replacement pair they were going to give me were ruined by floods in (I think) their Manchester branch. Although looking at the heel now, it's easy to see how it would break, it's so thin! Even although I don't wear them these days, I have very fond memories of them.

Day Eighty Two - Green With Envy?

This is it, the final shoe in our 'Irregular Choice Week' on The Shoe Girl Diaries. I haven't worn this pair before although I've had them for a few years. They are ever so slightly too big and I just never seem to have an outfit that does them justice. They have a square toe and cut outs along the sides. The best feature is the adorable print, made to look like scalloped edge lace all over the shoe. I've pondered with whether or not to sell these, but keep coming back to them being so special that I don't want to let them go! So, I hope you have enjoyed this celebration of Irregular Choice. If you have, you will be pleased to hear that I still have lots more IC styles in my collection to show you. I would love to add the new black Diamontina boots to that (please Santa!) from the A/W '09 collection, which is available to buy from the IC site and other retailers. Also check out for the fabulous new range of handbags. My black Miaow boots are screaming out for a matching bag! Wearing Irregular Choice pastel green court shoes with cut-out detail.

I also want to add that Pink Haired Princess is now open at thepinkhairedprincess.blogspot.com, it will take a few days to get up and fully running, so bear with me. I'm so glad to be back though!
