Day 1260 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Xena | Charlotte Olympia

Last week I shared my third pair of Poker Joker dice heels and today I'm switching it up to non-Irregular Choice.  I was really happy to get my hands on these Charlotte Olympia shoes from AW16, a couple of months back. 

Day 1258 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Ava's Aviary | Irregular Choice 

An oldie for you today as I've not been able to take new photos.  Last week, I reviewed my bargaintastic camo Quartz Order if you missed those.  We're heading way back to 2017 today with the birdcage heels.  I took these photos in 2019, so even they're old!  It's actually making me quite sad seeing these, as there's absolutely nothing of this level at IC for me now or lately.  For several seasons, I've been struggling to get excited about the styles, they're doing nothing for me.  Heels are low, colours and themes aren't my bag and shapes just aren't what they used to be.    

Day 1214 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Edina | Irregular Choice 

Although I bought these a couple of years ago, they are actually from Irregular Choice's AW12 collection, so quite an age now.  They feature this interesting layered, wooden heel, which is the only pair I have in this shape.  I miss these days, when higher, but still manageable, heel heights were in abundance.  I guess I'm in the minority as almost everything now is a mid heel height. 

Day 1197 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Paint A Bunny | Irregular Choice

So here are the third pair of Paint Your Own Heels from the recent Irregular Choice collection, you can find my fawn pair from last week here.  Last year when IC launched their first heels to decorate, the bunny mould was one of them.  I bought them, but haven't done anything to them yet (have had a plan for a long time, but just never gotten round to it).  That pair were yellow sequins court shoes, so these felt different enough to also buy. 

Day 1182 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Seafoam Queen | Irregular Choice 

Since it's 'revival' many years ago, I usually buy at least one pair of perspex heels every season from Irregular Choice. I really enjoyed the t-bar series; Tiny Ted, Pretty Poodle, Barnacle Betty and Blossom Bunny and then the slight change of shape for Bellissima. I guess these are in a similar vein, but I've been torn with whether or not to buy them.

Day 1160 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Irregular Choice Make A Splash (The Little Mermaid) 

So my Disney order arrived on Saturday and it's given me a chance to try everything on and I'm hoping to run through fit reviews of all 3 pairs I bought, as soon as possible, rather than leaving it to one a week.  First up are one of my Little Mermaid pairs, Make A Splash.  I actually nearly didn't buy these.  The boots were top of my list initially and as these have the same heel, I thought I should go for other (different) pieces first.  I'm so glad I changed my mind, almost everything sold out of all sizes on the day and they are really lovely.  The uppers are an iridescent sequins, so they change colour a bit depending on their surroundings.  Sometimes they are almost white or pink or lilac.  The pinky bit is a very pale pink, then you have that glitter platform which is covered in multiple sized bits of various colours.  It's shedding everywhere, it looks like there's been a party in the shoe room, the floor is covered! 

Day 1103 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Gucci zebra Lesley heels

Hello! A brand new pair of shoes for you, that just came into my possession a couple of weeks ago. That's not to say I've just noticed them, they've been firmly on my wishlist since the moment I saw them on the AW16 runway. I spent all last season telling myself it would never be (way outta my price range). Then I saw them on sale, they sold out of my size a couple of times, then by sheer luck, they got one pair back in, a size up. I wasn't sure whether or not to risk it or perhaps I'd even need the size up and that was a sign from the shoe gods!

Day 1090 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Irregular Choice So this Is Love (Cinderella) 

Hello everyone! Today I have my penultimate Cinderella shoe for you, So This Is Love. I recently reviewed this style over on Pink Haired Princess if you'd like to see the shoe in more detail. As I said in that post, these just might be my favourite from the whole collection, they are really lovely.

12 Shoes Of Christmas - Day 10

Hola, what's the hap today?  I've had a rather productive day, but still have tonnes on the to-do list.  I'm getting there slowly.

12 Shoes Of Christmas - Day 5

I'm having a little bit of a meltdown today. A week today, it's Christmas Eve. I don't know how that happened! I feel both November and December have just flown by. I haven't even tackled my Christmas cards yet (I have bought them, so I suppose that's something), but I've not wrapped anything, I still have something to get for my Dad and another little thing for Mum. It's supposed to be easier this year because my friends and I decided against us all sending presents (they all have children now, so I bought for the kids instead, but between 5 of them, there's 11 children). I've had a headache all week that only subsides to bring back my old pal, chest pain or sometimes I get both at once! Plus I have the usual tiredness, aches and pains, which don't go away just because it's Christmas.

Day 1028 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes:  Irregular Choice 'Fancy This Party People' 

The other month, I decided to put my money where my mouth was, after mentioning these shoes several times in blog posts.  Most notably, I styled them in The Shoe Girl Styles It here...way back in November last year.

Day 1018 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Pink 'Fluffy Tail' Irregular Choice 

So here's the runner up that you chose to see next (thank you for your votes), the bunnies! Can you believe it was last November that I got these, but you've never seen them here yet?

Day 1015 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes:  Irregular Choice Lammie

You'll probably know by now that I bought the latest character heel from Irregular Choice.  The little lamb called 'Lammie' in white.  Here's my post with loads of photos (and also the matching bag) if you haven't already seen it.  Today though, you get to see them on the foot.

Day 998 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Cream 'One Who Charms' Irregular Choice 

Day 998 and I'm almost running out of new shoes to show.  Or at least those I can access.  I've been photographing in bulk, when I've been feeling up to it but ran out of photos.

Day 984 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Pink glitter elevated 3 strap bow Vivienne Westwood Anglomania & Melissa 

Hello, how is this week treating you so far? I wanted these shoes for a long time and naturally I had to want the colour that was harder to find and usually more expensive than the others!

Day 983 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Black 'One Who Charms' Irregular Choice 

It doesn't feel like an entire week since our last Shoesday Tuesday, but here I am with another shoe fix.

Day 965 - I See The Way He Makes You Smile

Shoes: Pewter glitter 'Gosford' Topshop 

Quick post today of my outfit from yesterday. I went shopping for Christmas gifts after stressing about not being organised. Last time I was in a shop was October, long before Christmas was in my head! Plus I didn't expect other things to crop up every week, getting in the way of Christmas shopping. Anyway, I only have a couple more presents to get, but can't see me making it out of the house again before Christmas, so it'll have to be down to someone else to get for me. It really sucks being unable to just pop out to the shops when you feel like it-although I'm sure able-bodied people struggle due to work and having an actual life! Anyway, needless to say I'm wrecked today after carting home half a toy store! There wasn't much time for photos before leaving and it's getting dark scary-early now, but I managed to get decent enough shots of my outfit. I know I'm killing everyone with this dress, because it's really hard to find, but it's sooo ridiculously comfortable to wear and for the amount I paid, I'm going to wear it lots! I always feel like I have to hold the skirt out, so you can properly see Ariel (second full length shot)!

Wearing: Little Mermaid Ariel dress Hot Topic, leggings Primark, swallow cardigan Dorothy Perkins, Ariel and seahorse rings (taken from a set) H&M kids, turquoise ring my Grannys, pearl ring gift, flower midi ring Matalan.
Fit: True to size. Heel 4 3/4" and small concealed platform.
Comfort: Didn't have any issues with these.

Day 952 - The Lies I Weave Are Oh So Intricate

Shoes: Wine patent 'Active' Carvela at Kurt Geiger 

Wow, why don't I wear these shoes more often? They're stunning! Hmm, well there is the almost 6" heel and huge platform, not to mention the most fiddly darn buckles on the planet! Honestly took me nearly 15 minutes to buckle them! Despite the height though, you feel pretty safe in them and can walk fast enough. I was concentrating mind you and doing that 'please don't let me stand on a stray stone and topple' thing! They are such a gorgeous rich colour and just perfect with this dress. I think I normally wear a belt with this as it's quite loose fitting on me, but I didn't bother this time. I looked quite Granny-ish....if your Granny wears platforms! The lighting is a bit strange in the face shots below, was trying out a new space, but the light (sun) is either blinding or barely there.  Oh and the hairband, I just knew this would come to my rescue on a bad hair day and it did. It's sooooo pretty, definitely my new favourite thing.

Wearing: 'Celia' dress Swan by Clements Ribeiro, gold star tights House of Holland.
Fit: A little snug, but stick to your usual size. Heel 5 3/4", platform 1 1/2". Adjustable buckle fastening. 
Comfort: They are high, so probably not for everyone but I didn't have any specific issues with them.

Day 878 - For Once Why Don’t You Get Down Off Your High Heels

Shoes: Blue glitter 'Elevated 3 Strap' Vivienne Westwood & Melissa via Shoeaholics 

I mentioned I've been so busy lately that I've struggled to keep up with writing new blog posts and also reading your blogs, but I'm slowly getting there. This outfit from last Friday was for a doctors appointment. Dentist and doctor in the one week, lucky me! I'll have another post for you right after this one of my outfit from Monday and you can see my makeup for Monster High Monday here. Looking back at the photos in this post, I'm not very keen on this outfit and I'm not sure why. It feels a little dulled down and not very fun despite the sparkly shoes and kitsch fruity print on the dress. The shoes are so cool though, because they looked blue indoors, then in the sun they turned a bright violet. Along with the duo-chrome colour, they are also completely shimmery and the sunlight really made them glow!

Wearing: Fruit print dress H By Henry Holland, green beaded and pearl cardigan and leggings Primark.
Fit: A little snug, narrow in the toe. 4" heel and adjustable buckles.
Comfort: Toes can ache after a while because they are narrow.   

Day 865 - Down Every Road There's Always One More City

Shoes: Green Blythe 'Cookie' Irregular Choice

Yesterday started off fine, then as the day wore on, I got further and further behind with work until...disaster struck! I plugged my camera in to upload photos and to my horror the usb port on my PC fell through the hole inside the computer. Eeek! Thankfully there are two ports, so I used the other one...carefully. I was discussing what to do about it because it would be an absolute disaster if I lost the other port and my sister suggested getting a USB hub and attaching that to the remaining port and working off that. So I went to plug in my phone and what do you know, the whole thing has fallen through, headphone sockets and all! In fairness I'm surprised it's lasted this long, because it's always been a jiggle to get usb's in and out and the whole front is rather flimsy. So I thought my life and blog were over (really), then I remembered there are some spare usb ports in the back of the PC (google might have helped me remember). So I ordered a usb extension cable to use for now and will look into getting a hub to attach to that. I believe Poundland have some, which is cheaper than a new computer! My lead isn't due to come until next week, although it was apparently dispatched at 1.25 this morning (?), so for now I'm heaving the tower in and out when I need to use the usb sockets. The glamorous life of blogging.  As for the shoes...I totally thought I'd worn these already but the immaculate soles suggest otherwise!  They are a half size bigger but are very generous.  What is it with me and too-big shoes lately? think I should take out shares in insoles.

Wearing: Tropical floral dip hem dress Red Herring (Debenhams), cardigan Bonmarche, leggings Primark, Mischief sunglasses Irregular Choice.
Fit: Generous in width and length. 1" platform and 4 3/4" heel, no need to take button out on strap.
Comfort: They are big on me so slipped off my heel a little, but no issues of discomfort.
