Recent Shoe Hauls

Image
Shortly before Christmas a few more of the things I'd ordered online were delivered. I haven't had the time or space to properly photograph them yet but took these very quick images the evening I received them. The lighting therefore is hopeless, but some of the pictures have turned out ok. First up are my Jean Paul Gaultier Melissa sandals from Shudoo which looked better without the tights I was wearing that day, so no 'on the foot' photos. They are a little tight on me, true to size in length though. I actually forgot how thin the heel was when I was prancing around my room in them. You definitely don't feel like you have to tread carefully for fear of snapping it. Upon closer inspection, I realised it's metal-obviously it would have to be otherwise a jelly heel that narrow wouldn't hold any weight. The strapping at the heel is a little odd, you have that large black slingback which just sits at the heel. I was trying to pull it right up, because it feels...

Irregular Choice SS11

The time has come, Christmas is over and Spring/Summer stock is already filtering into the shops! If you're still trying to snap up winter high-street bargains in the sale and can't even contemplate swapping your cosy gloves and scarf for a skimpy bikini and shades then you should perhaps visit Spar to get in the spirit-they were selling Cadbury Creme Eggs, Mini Eggs and all sorts of Easter eggs in early December. Seriously! Moving on... Irregular Choice have started rolling out the spring stock and I'm happy to see these Can't Touch It courts which I posted on the IC forum months ago. They are a fresh take on the Fantasy Flower from last summer. I like the hessian mixed with purple and I'm always happy to see the carved perspex heel which has become a signature feature of IC. Scottie Dog courts have been revamped as an exclusive to Schuh in lime green and pale pink. I'm a little on the fence with these, can't decide if they're garish or quite cute. I ...

Estee Lauder Haul

Image
Hi! Hope you've all had a good Christmas. I'm keen to get back into my routine, these past few weeks have all been a bit of a blur and I need normality again! Remember the Estee Lauder haul I did weeks ago? Well unfortunately it's coming to you later than I intended, but better that than never right? I'm super pleased with everything I got and the service from their online store is incredible. My items came gift wrapped (free), with free delivery and I got all these extras; Double Wear mascara, Bronze Goddess Sunscreen, Automatic Lip Pencil in Fig and Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick in Chic Pink, oh and my gorgeous Christmas tree bauble (the whole reason I ordered!). Mum said I should've given her the bauble for Christmas as it's her initials on it! Fig lip liner is something I'm sure I'll get a lot of use from. It's a pale brown that's very dupable (is that a word?), lots of brands make that type of shade is what I'm trying to say, but it...

Irregular Choice Sale Watch

Image
Hi ladies, are you all organised for Christmas? I feel like I need another week to properly prepare, I really love the run-up to the big day and for various reasons I've missed that this year. Parcels have been turning up thick and fast though! These pre-Christmas sales are killing me, there's so many things I have my eye on. I've compiled a more easier to look at list of all the Irregular Choice shoes currently on sale for you (and for me to refer back to as well)! There are tonnes of markdowns on the official Irregular Choice site, which I haven't documented here, so check that out too. Schuh have a massive sale, as you can see below. The purple Bambi wedges £39.95 (above) are now sold out (there were 5's and 6's available earlier) and they were a pair I really liked. Remember Amazon and Viva La Diva also sell Schuh IC's, although sometimes you end up disappointed as their stock levels aren't updated as recently as the Schuh site (so in-stock item...
