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: 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.

Shoes: Take A Chance Irregular Choice 

Hello, just a quick-ish post for you today as I've been feeling unwell this week. You've seen these shoes once before (here), but I wore them for real last week and thought you'd be interested in seeing how I styled them. They were released after the initial launch of dice heels at Schuh and Irregular Choice and as I'd already bought the Poker Joker boots, I couldn't afford these too. I'm not sure if I'd have gone for these over the boots if they'd both been available at once, it would've been a hard choice. You might recall I managed to get a pair in my size when I had saved for them and there were very few pairs left. My usual size 5/38 were insanely small though and I ended up having to return them and by then they'd gone completely and no store in the country had any left, so I wasn't sure I'd ever get them. Obviously seeing them on my feet now, you know that did happen and having worn them for a couple of hours, I can say without a doubt you need to size up in these.

Day 1069 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Take A Chance Irregular Choice

Hello, today I have a pair of shoes for you that I bought twice! You may remember I posted a review on Pink Haired Princess, after I bought them last year. I'd had the option of both my size and the size up, but then all of a sudden they were selling fast and I got one of the last pairs in my usual size (5/38). I was ecstatic, only to find on arrival, they didn't fit. Like really didn't fit, they were tiny! Of course by this point they were completely sold out, so I stalked them like mad. Long story short, it paid off and I eventually (months later) got a pair in the bigger size (6/39), a much better fit.

12 Shoes Of Christmas - Day 7

Hello, sorry for the tardy post, just sneaking in before the end of the day! I've had and still have actually, a really bad migraine. I've been sitting with a migraine cooling pad thing stuck to my forehead like a numpty for the past few hours, after being forced to admit that it wasn't going to go away on it's own. I refuse to take more medication and it rarely helps anyway. I was joking with my doctor the other week that I'm well beyond the personal pill daily intake I set myself. I'm not particularly 'good' at taking pills (I remember when to take them, I just don't like it and struggle to swallow the bigger ones), I think my maximum quota used to be no more than 5 a day. Then with the iron deficiency a couple of years ago, I had a few extras to take, now I have 4 Vitamin D big buggers to swallow and now he added something else to the list, so that takes me to double my target. I was saying if the hayfever or iron comes back, I'll be looking at what I can switch out and put in it's place!  My doctor is good that way, that I can muck around and laugh about it (what else can you do?) and I do realise other people have to take much more than that in a day, it's just a silly thing I set myself!
