Pink Haired Princess

Last year I kicked off my Irregular Choice handbag collection posts with my square shaped bags . Today it's the round ones, which again there aren't masses of, so it's a little easier for me to tackle, as I know exactly how many I have and where they are situated.  I've been leaving the ones with the flap and also the double clasp, because every single time I photograph them, another one comes out. I think I've photographed both groups at least twice each over the years, before giving up last year as I knew there was a Jasmine (flap) one coming in Aladdin and then Belle (clasp) in the Beauty And The Beast collection (didn't know about the poodle one which I also got).  Anyway, round bags, drum bags, vanity case, whatever you call this shape, it's one of the oldest bag styles from IC. I don't have any of the older ones, but I remember being so excited when they brought this shape back with the furry frog one, because it's a style I'd always ho...

I took these photos last month when I bought the Irregular Choice Blushing Bird and Roseus flamingo heels. I had my extravagant kitsch setting planned ( Blushing Bird here and Roseus here ), but I've been desperate to put my vintage birdcage to use (for years) and it didn't quite fit in with that scene (literally and aesthetically). So I shot an alternative setting, with the birdcage and a leopard print backdrop. It worked really well and I was able to fit the shoes inside (not the boots though) with the flamingo peeking out. I was originally going to share these images on Facebook , but I know some of you aren't on there (fyi my account is public now, so follow away if you are), so I'm posting them here instead. It's going to be unusual because I don't have anything to add that I didn't already mention in my original posts. Me not talking, I know, it's crazy! You can get all the details about fit and heel heights and close-up detailed photos in ...

Following on from my post last night , I have the second pair of Irregular Choice flamingo heels I bought, black Roseus. Firstly, I was really excited to see an ankle boot in this range. It's unusual we get treated to anything that goes further up the foot than a shoe-boot in character heels!  I picked the black because I thought they were a 'go with anything' type boot and I liked that the flamingo heel was a stark contrast against the uppers.  At times in these photos you'd be forgiven for thinking the boot was heel-less as your eye is drawn to the uppers while the flamingo blends into the backdrop!  They definitely have a very different feel to the Blushing Bird courts (not better or worse, just different).

It's time for another character heel release from Irregular Choice , the first (of many) this year. I had no inclination of what they were going to be, but IC picked one of my favourite things, flamingos. The graceful, pink birds were the heel of Roseus, a floral mesh ankle boot in black or cream, Flamenco a patterned mary-jane in black or gold and Blushing Bird a floral court with lace bow in orange, grey or turquoise. I bought the black Roseus and turquoise Blushing Bird, with the intention of returning the pair I liked least or that didn't fit. Tonight, I'm looking at the court shoe.

You know I've been crazy about bags lately (maybe more so than shoes?) and my latest addition, is this flamingo one. Isn't it gorgeous? Read on for my review and also a 10% discount code.
