What A Wonderful Name

Image
I've always wanted a shoe named after me, I just think that would be the coolest accolade, to know a shoe has been created with you in mind and named in your honour. So meet my shoe, the 'Gemma' boot by Terry De Havilland ! Ahem, actually named after Gemma Cairney apparently but we'll pretend it's me as it's a peep toe ankle boot for Christ's sake-how more 'me' can you get? It's been around for a good few seasons but is now available in made-to-order Crystal £650 (above right) and the super cool, limited edition Dagger £595 (above and below) which are exclusive to Selfridges . They're reasonably similar to my TDH metallic green and black lace boot , which are one of my all-time favourite shoes ever, I just love them! The dagger on the heel of this pair though is an amazingly fabulous touch and there are only 10 pairs in circulation to celebrate 50 years of Terry De Havilland shoes and sadly for me, none left in my size : ( Another very li...

Irregular Choice Haul

Image
OMG peeps, look what arrived today...a massive Irregular Choice parcel containing my two new pairs of shoesies. I honestly haven't had time to properly look at them and take 'real' photos, so here's the quick camera-phone images. Gorgeous boxes including a rather large one filled with the attachments for the So-Yeon Sarah pair. I hadn't realised until I squirrelled the boxes away later that the other side of the attachments box is even cuter (like a little house), so I'll definitely take photos of that for you later. First, here's the black 'Wing Invadors', grrrr check out those teeth! The basic Sarah court, such a lovely retro shape. Eye see you, heehee! The attachments mostly clip on to the shoe. My only issue is I was given the navy bows which were shown on the website to go with the red courts, but actually they still look cute, so it's no biggy. I doubt these rings will fit me... ...the spatz didn't fit...they zip up the back and have...

New Shoes!

Image
One of the three pairs of shoes I ordered yesterday arrived today! If you follow me on Facebook, you'll already know which pairs I've ordered and a pic of my newest arrival. Speaking of arrivals, still no news on baby nephew/niece, my sis is beginning to panic now and doesn't want induced (which is gonna happen on Saturday if baby doesn't bust a move before then). She texted me yesterday to say she was jumping on the kids trampoline, desperate times! Anyway here's some quick camera-phone shots of the 'Evade' floral platforms from River Island via ASOS . Totally hot!

ASOS Ablaze Wedge

Image
The latest ASOS magazine arrived today. Quick flick through and these babies caught my eye. Meet the floral tapestry 'Ablaze' wedge £60. Seriously want !!! I just wanted to update with the following info...when I checked the ASOS site today I got this message, so the boots are definitely coming soon. According to ASOS, they are due in August, here's a bigger pic and also I spotted a leopard pair. Not getting me as excited as the tapestry but lush all the same (have no idea why I just said 'lush', I never use that word as this really annoying Geordie girl spent a few weeks in my class at high-school and I swear every second word was 'lush', it used to do my head in and I always seemed to have to sit next to her, heehee!).

Harajuku Lovers Introduce Super G!

Image
I first wrote about the latest Harajuku Lovers fragrance on my Facebook page last month, but I'm happy to report it's now available for purchase in the UK. It's the glorious 'Super G' in superhero costume, complete with cape and mask (unfortunately no accompanying harajuku girls again). As if I had to sell it any further, she's also flying...a completely new bottle mould this time. I'm super, super loving it! The fragrance is completely new and I haven't had the chance to go anywhere for a sniff yet as our entire family is on hold awaiting the arrival of my little niece or nephew who really doesn't want to make an appearance! However, it's described as a bright, fruity, energetic scent with top notes of tangerine, yellow pineapple, pear and tart cranberry. Heart notes of banana nectar, yellow freesia, coconut and peach with a base of musk, transparent cedar wood, vanilla and raspberry! Sounds very unique, available now in 30ml priced aroun...

Irregular Choice AW11 Lookbook

Image
I've been busy preparing some photo-heavy posts for next week, but thought I'd leave you with a super duper look at the new Irregular Choice Autumn/Winter 2011 collection. It's big on sparkle, lots of sequins and some wonderful new shapes (I'm looking at you Jelly & Ice Cream, Pat's Picnic (which I'm totally in love with), Petrish etc). You'll also find some old favourites such as Abigails Party, Miaow (which I've realised I forgot to include here, but the new colour is red-matching bag also available) and Flick Flack in new colours and fabrics and remember Whimsic? Well they're back along with the much sought after cowgirl boot Rawhide. You'll also find the odd carved perspex heel and a slight modification of the diamond shaped one from last winter. I've updated with part 2, so this is the complete lot, enjoy and let me know your wishlist! Also just wanted to add these images from the IC facebook page which show the new bags and als...
