Pink Haired Princess

So, very exciting news earlier in the week with regards to the Family Reunion collection launching this Friday at Irregular Choice. Yesterday we were treated to some teasers ( video here ), which appear to show 8 different character heels being revived and rejuvenated for this wonderful collection. I thought I'd put together some details of the heel heights and sizing if you don't already have these in your collection to compare. Please note, I've photographed the original heels from my collection, assuming that the same heel mould will be used this time. I'd say the only thing that looked slightly unusual to me in the video was the polar bears (originally pandas) seemed quite a bit taller than the lambs. In reality, there isn't such a notable difference (a quarter inch). I can't see them having changed that heel though (obviously it's had a makeover in regards to finish to instead look like a polar bear), so it's maybe just the angle in the vid...

[Post contains affiliate links] I started a birthday custom a few years back of buying myself a pair of designer shoes. A bit indulgent, gifting yourself something, but I suppose that was the point.  I guess because I buy Irregular Choice all year round, it didn't feel out of the ordinary to do that, but this felt a little special. Last year, I bought Vivienne Westwood boots . Well actually, I bought myself 2 pairs of shoes, but sadly these Moschino Couture heels were too big, so I'm selling those. I'd lusted after something in that traffic cone and floral print for so long, so it was really disappointing, though the boots softened the blow.

Ah, it's that time of year again. Beautiful blue skies, sun's out, jackets off, sunglasses on, bare legs, sandals, yep even in Scotland, we've had a glorious couple of days (after freezing our bums off recently, but that's British weather for you) and we're all daring to ask "is summer really here?". I hate this time of year though, because I get serious FOMO. I long to be out there enjoying it too. People often say "oh the winter must be so tough on you"...yeah, snuggled up inside with my cosy blanket, the heating on, cups of warm tea and the gigantic chocolate stash whilst it's snowing, icy, windy and freezing outside, errr no, I know where I'd rather be! Yes I dislike the very long dark days, but I have no desire to go out on days like that. I'm usually pretty thankful that I'm safe and warm inside. That said, I'm not a massive summer fan. Last year was far, far too hot for me and I know people in this country are...

As part of their 20th anniversary, Irregular Choice are revisiting older styles, relaunching some old favourites in classic colourways with their Archive Revival collection .

[Post contains affiliate links] I have a bit of a weakness when it comes to pretty looking makeup brushes. Don't get me wrong, I need them to be functional too, but if there's a fancy finished handle or coloured bristles, I'm there! I spied these Fantasy brushes , online at Superdrug and it was love at first sight. Called "Galactic Queen", they live up to their name with a shaped handle in a shimmering green and purple, colour shift finish. The big fluffy heads have black to purple ombre hairs and they just look luscious. Let's be real though, "needing" and "wanting" new brushes are two different things, so in my head, I could only buy them if I was getting a super good deal, so I hung off. I'd kinda forgotten about them, until the weekend when I had a nosy and each brush had £1 off. Nothing too exciting. Then I noticed, you could buy all 6 for £20 , that's better! I got distracted looking at other stuff and naturally by ...

Besides a lack of energy or sometimes motivation to blog, I find I procrastinate a lot. Really a lot. I didn't used to be like this, but over the years of blogging, I've become some kind of super perfectionist. If the writing wasn't good enough, the pictures weren't fantastic, the subject matter wasn't relevant, I wouldn't blog it. I'd worry, stress and leave it. Then worry some more afterwards!  Did I want something not up to scratch on my blog? No. I felt my blog was a reflection of me and my abilities and if I posted rubbish, it would reflect badly on me. I want to change that though, because like I say, I didn't used to be like this. I'd write and photograph freely about whatever I wanted, when I wanted and there was something kinda nice about that.  Everything has become less relaxed, very precise, less enjoyable if I'm really honest and that's not a fair representation of me. I'm the type of person that sees a neat row of i...

[Post contains affiliate links] Last month, I decided I would set myself the challenge of blogging every day...it lasted 2 days, so I'm hoping to try again this month. My health hasn't been great, which is the main reason for the lack of blogging. I've been sleeping a great deal, most days start off with me either needing a sleep after breakfast (yep, really!) or sleeping all afternoon and throughout the evening. I'm trying not to let it get me down, but some days when all you feel is your joints wanting to explode and you're battling to keep your eyelids open, it's a struggle. Today, I was going to say has been extremely lazy, but actually I started off quite well. I checked my emails and stuff this morning, took photos for  #365daysofIrregularChoice and showered before lunch. I was backing up my laptop whilst in the shower, but it took a lot longer this time, so I decided to just let it do it's thing and have a lazy afternoon instead. I played a ...
