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! 

Day 1264 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Looks Like Rain Dear | Irregular Choice 

A break from the planned continuation of unicorn heels, after red Trixy last week, because a week past Friday Irregular Choice launched their Christmas collection. Quite early for once! I bought several pairs and they came the next day and I'm going to do fit reviews for each and then hopefully get a more in-depth look up on Pink Haired Princess later. The weather has definitely not been camera friendly this past week, so I hastily emptied the piles of shoe boxes from the shoe room floor when I spied some light at the weekend. I managed two pairs before collapsing in a heap, so here's Looks Like Rain Dear, brilliant name by the way!

Day 1263 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Trixy (red, gold heel) | Irregular Choice 

I hadn't realised it was as long as a month since I last posted, IC's Flaming June.  I've not been feeling the best, the usual end of year exhaustion, which I don't understand because I've done absolutely nothing for the last couple of years.  I did have the dentist last month, which was my first time out of the house in a while and I'm guessing it's that that's taken it out of me.  Anyway, I've been buying shoes, Irregular Choice, which usually wouldn't be a surprise, but if you've been keeping up with my blog, you'll know not much has appealed to me in recent collections, so actually it's pretty rare. 

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 1253 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Saturday Morning | Irregular Choice (Looney Tunes) 

I have another high heel for you this week, after my Vivienne Westwood tartan shoes last time. Irregular Choice just launched their Looney Tunes collection and loving this new character heel, I ordered a couple of pairs intending to keep just one (it came in this ankle boot or two colourways of a court shoe). The pair I have today are definitely my favourite of the two, so let's start with them. This style is exclusive to IC, so only available online from their website and from their Brighton store (the only one left in the UK currently). Firstly, I adore their name, "Saturday Morning", it brings back memories of watching cartoons when I was little with my sisters.  When I was 12 I started a paper round, so TV had to wait until I got home (I recall rushing home for The Legend Of Prince Valiant). Even as a kid though, I have to admit I got really frustrated with the continual chase and animosity between duos such as Tweety and Sylvester and Tom & Jerry, it tired me out!

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 1248 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Dotty Love (red) | Irregular Choice 

Another heart themed pair from my photo archives this week, after the cut-out heart heeled, Rosie Posy last time. I have previously fit reviewed Dotty Love actually, as I bought them in two colours. They launched for SS15 and I got the red and blue, but they also came in black (all with a white base).

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 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 1228 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Pooch Perfect | Irregular Choice

 

These were another sale purchase recently, which I've had my eye on since they launched.  Remember the dog heeled Bougainvillea a couple of weeks back? They were from the same collection and if these boots had the doggy heel, they'd have been perfect for me.  The heel here is a little boring, but the shoe uppers weren't that exciting , so the combination of the two would've been perfect. 

Day 1224 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Click Your Heels | Irregular Choice, The Wizard Of Oz 

Something new for you this week.  The Wizard Of Oz Irregular Choice collaboration launched mid December and whilst I'm not fanatical about the film (like a lot of people are), I did like some of the collection.  I wasn't going to get anything though, but this style was my favourite and down to one pair left in my size the day after release, so I buckled and bought them!  This style is exclusive to Irregular Choice, so you can't get it from any other IC stockist.

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 1222 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Paint A Santa | Irregular Choice 

Back to normality this week with my Tuesday fit review post.  Firstly, Happy New Year, I haven't actually said that to anyone yet.  I've not been feeling great, exhaustion I think from the festive period, doing too much blogging (if you combine my posts from 2018, 2019 and 2020, it's still 20 less than I blogged in 2021!) and my booster the week before Christmas.  I'm sleeping a lot, struggling to move around and was nearly sick the other night, probably as I took these photos during the day.  I still don't know my limits, clearly!  Anyway, my sister got me these shoes for Christmas. 

Day 1221 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Santas Workshop | Irregular Choice 

My boots from the Irregular Choice Christmas collection eventually arrived last week, after the mix-up with next day delivery.  They felt like the most "me" pair from the launch and were the only footwear purchase I made that day, despite buying lots of other bits.  However, I don't think I'll be keeping them, which I'm pretty disappointed about...they just don't suit me and I'll discuss that later. 

Day 1210 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Delicate Diamond | Irregular Choice 

These boots were part of the updated diamond shaped heel collection for AW20.  The heel is a lot slimmer and lighter than the previous jewel shape we'd seen on the likes of Diamontina years ago.  I originally bought the green version (exclusive to IC) and had always hankered after this pink/red combo, so when they restocked them in the summer sale, I snapped them up.  I feel they are different enough to the green ones to justify both and they came in black too, which again are a totally different look. 

Day 1200 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Red sequins embellished buckle shoes | Dolce & Gabbana

*Apologies, I already posted these shoes here a couple of months ago, my memory is clearly non-existent.  I did think it seemed familiar when I was writing the post 😳 Ah well, you get a different sock pairing for them*  You may have already seen these shoes in my review on Pink Haired Princess, they were one of the pairs I bought myself last year for my 40th birthday.  I haven't been able to wear any of the four pairs yet, as I've only left the house once (for my vaccine) in all this time, but I thought I'd review their fit here.  Generally, I find D&G shoes quite small fitting, so I got the half size larger in these (38.5) and they are pretty perfect.  A little narrow in the toe, so you may also want to opt for a slightly roomier fit, but length wise they feel true for me.  All three buckles unfasten and have adjustable straps.  I can get these on and off without taking out the purple velvet one; the grey and red reptile straps and buckles all fasten really easily. There's nothing fiddly, thankfully.  The heel is nice and sturdy to walk on and it feels like your foot is well supported.  

Day 1198 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Paint A Friend | Irregular Choice 

Here's the final Irregular Choice 'Paint Your Own Heels' style from the collection that launched last month.  Like the bunnies last week, the plain unicorn heel was initially released last year (I blogged about them here) and once more I felt these were different enough to own both. 

Day 1194 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Red Sequins AW17 | Dolce & Gabbana

Hi gang, how are you all this week?  No IC today, these are a pair of shoes I bought last year for my birthday.  If you follow my other blog, Pink Haired Princess, you'll know I buy a special pair of shoes for my birthday each year.  Seeing as I turned 40 last year, I decided to space it out throughout the year and bought 4 pairs.  These were the final pair I got and a style I've had my eye on for a long time.  They are from the Autumn/Winter 2017 collection, which featured a lot of these multi-buckled, embellished and sequin designs. 

Day 1192 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Hiccup | Irregular Choice 

Hi gang! Just a quick post this week as I don't have time to edit more photos (these were from Instagram in 2019).  I would've worn different tights had I known I was posting here as resizing the pics results in moiré because they are shiny and shimmery.  Anyway, I've been trying to be semi-social this past week or so (given that I never go out), so have been signing up to lots of online classes and events.  This week, I have the Glamour Big Beauty Call, next week it's Vogue's 5 Days Of Beauty.  I also regularly attend Guerlain and Clarins masterclasses, but for someone that never has anything planned, I'm worrying I'll forget to attend or that I'm double booking (think it's Clarins and Glamour tomorrow, then Guerlain and Glamour on Thursday).  I'm trying to get everything done before the classes, as I know I'll tire myself out if I try to do two things at once, but my head's all over the place and I just got side-tracked by the delivery of 4 parcels (a long wait until payday again 🤣)!  Anyway nothing to do with these boots.
