Day 1262 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Flaming June | Irregular Choice 

Another archive set of photos for you this week after my Hot Shot teddies last time.  Flaming June are from SS17 and came in various colours.  I wanted the mint green the most (no surprise there), but ended up with the pink.  I much prefer cooler shades of pink and IC tend to make theirs very warm and peachy. 

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 1259 - Shoesday Tuesday

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. 

Day 1256 - Shoesday Tuesday

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 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 1249 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Shimmy Pom Pom | Irregular Choice 

Another unusual wedge shaped heel for you this week after Dotty Love last time, although I didn't think I'd be able to post at all. I actually have a couple of new pairs of shoes to show you, however this heat is killing me, it's unbearable. There's absolutely no way I was attempting to empty the shoe room overspill, then shut myself in and wear tights/pose for photos in said incubator. I expected to do my usual and find some old photos on my laptop, but it's even been too hot for that. I'm sleeping more (probably because the heat makes it too difficult to sleep at night) and any attempt to sit with a hot laptop near me has failed quickly the past few days, I just can't concentrate or focus.  I honestly don't know how people manage to go about their lives and work in this.  It's been somewhat cooler at times today (i.e. enough for me not to have the fan on full-blast), so I did manage to scavenge some old photos of a much older style, dating back to 2007, but as I'm typing it's boiling again and it's early evening!

Day 1242 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Pooch Perfect | Irregular Choice 

I finally get to share this pair with you as it's my birthday this week and Mum said she'd give me these boots (after I ordered them last month), so although they've been in my possession, I haven't wanted to wear them before now. Last week, I posted the heavily embellished Garden Gala-it seems I've been buying ankle boots a lot lately!

Day 1241 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Garden Gala | Irregular Choice 

Another fantastic sale pair for you today, after the rainbow Quartz Order boots last week.  Garden Gala came in three colours and it might surprise you to know, that I didn't buy the green.  It can happen folks!  The other pair were black, but these pink ones stood out to me immediately.  They're the brightest and most colourful of the bunch, so that's why!  The heel is a textured metallic fuchsia and the uppers, a multi-coloured lurex with sporadic patches of sequins.  The sequins are multi-coloured, but silver on the flip-side.  However, the main attraction are the oodles of flower embellishments in varying sizes, colours and finishes.  The yellow pompoms are a favourite, but really I love them all. 

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 1238 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Little Red | Irregular Choice 

Last week I shared the very Easter looking Hop To It from several years back and today I have something a little more recent, from AW21. I personally love this heel. It's a very old shape which was reintroduced about 5 years ago and continues to be used in the current collection on the likes of Fleur de Lis and Go Fish. There's been a slight modification, in that the curves are more pronounced now, which only makes it better in my opinion. The inside edges of the heel tip though are actually rather sharp, so be careful on textured (looped) rugs or carpets, that you don't get hooked and caught up in it.

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 1233 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Love Is All Around | Irregular Choice 

These boots came out in SS18, but I think I picked them up in one of the Irregular Choice online hidden gems sales.  They are of course, based on a much older style known as Can Can, which also came in court shoe form.  Personally, I love the shape of the boot.  The heel is a lot shorter than I'd usually attempt, but the slightly weird shoe-boot shape, just draws me in.  That said, this style just aren't comfortable for me and I need to realise that!  I first had the black and white zig-zag patterned pair (iconic pattern, but I eventually sold them).  Then I bought the green paisley fabric with the swans on, in a size-up and they were the incorrect pair in the right box, so were actually 2 sizes bigger and had to be returned.  These I bought in my regular 5/38, but they're just not right on me. 

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 1229 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Smitten Kitten | Irregular Choice 

A while back I went through about a years worth of folders on my laptop looking for shoes I hadn't yet shared here but already had pictures of. I've no idea why I didn't get to review these at the time. I bought most of this collection the day it launched as it was and remains one of my all-time favourite releases. It was the Family Reunion collection in Spring 2019, celebrating 20 years of Irregular Choice and this specific range focused on character heels, which you should all know by now, I love. It was a near perfect launch for me; bright colours, quirky materials and trims and obviously these amazing character heels, reinvented, some of which we hadn't seen since their original release. The cat heel was one of those.

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 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 1223 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Tropical Minnie | Irregular Choice x Disney (Mickey & Friends)

A return to the archive photos today as my back has been sore so I was unable to stand to photograph my new(er) Wizard Of Oz shoes.  It's also been pretty dark lately...I've given up trying to predict the weather right now, it's so changeable from day to day and throughout each day.  Unlike most places, we've missed the snow so far though. 

Day 1220 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Eres Hermosa | Irregular Choice 

I had hoped to show you something from the new Irregular Choice Christmas collection that launched last Friday.  However my order was supposed to arrive on Saturday, but due to an error, didn't come until today, so I've had to change plans to an older style and very non-Christmassy I might add! 

Day 1219 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Queenie | Irregular Choice 

Back to the archive styles today and you'll likely recall I went crazy for this heel shape when it was released in 2017. I originally bought the mint Kir Royal and Tatsu ankle boot, going on to buy the black KR and then this style, Queenie, in pink and black. Neither colour I've shared here before, so here's the pink version, though it's more a dusky, mauve type shade to me in real life.

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.
