Shoes of the Week 08/02/14 - Irregular Choice "Iced" Felix the Fearless

Hello guys

Phew, what a week its been. As halfway point of term creeps closer my work pile begins to reach the ceiling and my head is beginning to get buried beneath the books. Unfortunately I have done nothing exciting this week to tell you about so instead I  bring you some rather fabulous shoes.

This weeks pair are from irregular choice, a favourite brand of mine but I'm still yet to own a pair (hint hint).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My shoes of the week are Felix The Fearless by ICED at Irregular Choice.

Aren't they just Purrfect ?

 

 

In contrast to Irregular Choice's normal heels and high class designs comes ICED. This collection is designed to give the quirkiness often associated with Irregular choice but with movability and wear ability.

 

 

This design just stood out to me as I love the cat face embroidery. Combine this with a tweed background and you have one classy and fabulous trainer. They feature rubber soles with a "drippy ice cream" finish. The best bit is that they come in 3 different colours: red, black and a grey/blue.

 

At a retail price of £59.00 they aren't the cheapest shoes around but you are paying for the quality and design and in comparison with some other trainers out there I know I would rather splash the cash on these cuties.

Shoes Of The Week 30/01/14 - River Island Tropical Print Court

Hi all

My regular post is back with a bang and to prove my dedication to you all I'm writing this from the LSE library at 10 am ! This week has been long and intense and my work pile is slowly mounting up as I try and complete everything so I can enjoy some time off later on in the term when I have a few events planned.

Since my last post I have gained a few new followers - so whether new or old readers I just want to say thanks for visiting my little space on the interweb.

This weeks shoes are from River Island and have left me dreaming of tropical weather in this dreary rain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My shoes of the week are Yellow Tropical Print Pointed Court

 

 

With the new year well and truly here its about time we get ready for spring to hit, and what better way to do so than by introducing these quirky courts into your wardrobe.

 

A bright azure blue background with lemon print fabric gives the traditional court shoe a modern update worthy of Vincent Van Gough. The artsy style means these can stand out with some classic blue jeans or be paired with a bright pink dress to make a statement to the world. You can even mix and match with the matching clutch bag on sale here .

 

The heel height of just over 4 inches offers stability and the plastic soles offers fair grip on most surfaces. However, you must be aware that these shoes were not designed for everyday use and so are best saved for special occasions (even if that is just making yourself feel good).

 

At £50 you get what you pay for - stand out shoes with an exceptional price tag.

 I'd grab these now and save them for your holidays to give Cocktail Hour a truly tropical twist.

 

 



 

Back soon

A long break and some new jewellery...

Hi guys

Gosh it's been a while. I don't really have an excuse apart from real life and everything that comes with it. In the time I've been away I've had a wonderful summer , moved in to a flat in London with 3 guys and a girl (I'm crazy and I know it) , joined the swing dance society and started my second year at LSE. This has brought it's own trials and tribulations but I'm managing to get through them as much as I know how.

In the mean time I've updated the layout and the logo but it is a work in progress and I have new things to show you ! I took a trip to Portobello Road and Bond Street recently and this is what I bought.

  

Cream Girl Jumper £5 - Portobello Market

Skull Spider Web Compact Necklace £23 (reduced from £78) - Butler & Wilson

Skull Cover Watch £17 (Reduced from £58) - Butler & Wilson

"Kiss" Key Necklace £11.40 (reduced from £38) - Butler & Wilson

 

 

I loved the jumper as it is really cute and perfect for the slightly warmer winter weather. Even better at £5!


The Butler & Wilson jewellery was an unexpected bonus for me. I have quite a few pieces from their various collections now and particularly love the "eye" collection as part was given to me for my 18th. The South Molton Street shop was doing the last day of sales when I checked it out so all of the items were reduced up to 70% off. Of course I couldn't resist a bargain and ended up with this little lot.

 

Check out their website at: www.butlerandwilson.co.uk

 

I'll be back with some shoes next time

Shoes of the Week 24/07/13 - Iron Fist Society Suicide Booties

Hi Guys

Firstly I would like to apologise for not posting last week. This was because my lovely sister graduated in Cardiff and we were on a little holiday down there without any laptops or Wi-Fi to speak of. It was very bizarre sitting in the ceremony knowing that I will be in same position in 2 years time.

Last week also saw this little blog hit its 1 year anniversary ! So I will be doing a special post all about this and hopefully a giveaway - keep your eyes peeled.

This weeks shoes of the week were purchased last week in Cardiff courtesy of the Bank of Dad. I'm not quite sure when I am going to wear them but I'm sure they will be admired when I do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My shoes of the Week are Iron Fist Society Suicide Booties

 

These certainly do not fit the name they have been given as you will most likely be the envy of society than committing society suicide.

 

The sateen material is patterned with pink roses, blue flowers and tropical birds on the outside and leopard print inners. They lace up fully at the front and zip up at the back to allow ease of access as well as comfort. The heel height is 4" at the back , platform of around half an inch at the front.

 

They also have a cute little peep toe to show off your painted toe nails.



 

These were purchased in a shop in the Cardiff Arcades and were reduced to clear as they were no longer stocking Iron Fist Shoes.

 

RRP £75.00 Sale Price £45.00

I got these in a size 8 (Eu 41) and was a little shocked to find they fit. I generally find Iron Fist to be a bit small and narrow on the sizing but with these being fully adjustable at the front I can get them on and off easily.

Iron Fist have a lot of styles to choose from so I recommend you check out their site here : http://www.ironfist.co.uk/

Shoes of the Week - 09/07/13 Dorothy Perkins Black/Nude Pointed Courts

Hey Guys

I know I'm a bad blogger because I missed my last post but I do have a genuine reason for this - I moved back home for the summer and so last week was the final hurrah in lovely London before 3 boring months in the North.

Last week saw me take on a completely unexpected experience by being asked on a date ! This was very exciting for me but sadly the timing couldn't have been worse as I had to leave less than 5 days later.

However, I still had a brilliant week going to the science museum, picnicking in Regents Park, watching We Will Rock You and seeing several friends who are based all over the world for the next couple of months. I was very sad to leave London as I feel completely at home in the Big City but I'm looking forward to what this summer has to offer.

This weeks shoes are from Dorothy Perkins.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My shoes of the week are Dorothy Perkins Black Nude Pointed Courts

 

These gorgeous shoes are made for everyday wear through combining sleek and shiny nude with matt black suedette.

 

Offering a heel height of around 4" these shoes are designed to be worn to the office as well as on a night out. The neutral colour block pattern is unusual to find as most designers tend to keep it one tone and add embellishments but through the subtle contrast in materials and colours these shoes really work.

 

At £29.00 Dorothy Perkins are offering sleek and stylish shoes that can be easily be mixed and matched with your summer wardrobe at an affordable price.

Cath Kidson Sale Haul !

Hi Guys

As I mentioned in earlier posts , I went to Brighton this week. I had never been before and it was something which had been recommended to me several times because I love the seaside and hunting through all the various quirky/kitch/retro shops that normally appear there.

Brighton did not disappoint. I took a walk along the pebble beach, strolled along the seafront, played games on the pier, wandered around the pavilion and thoroughly enjoyed rooting through all the stores in the Lanes.

At the moment it is summer sale time for most shops as they begin to phase out there S/S13 collections and replace them with the A/W collection. This fact enticed me into looking into the Brighton Branch of the Cath Kidson Stores.

I always love the various vintage stylings that you can pick up in Cath Kidson but I can vary rarely afford to pick up much. However, in the sale, I was able to pick up several items for less than the full price of one.

Here is what I purchased :

Cream Pirate Print Sundress. Was £50.00 Now £25.00  

 

Strawberry Hairclips. Was £4.00 Now £3.00

Strawberry Brooch. Was £4.00 Now £2.50

 

 

Ladybird and Bumblebee Hair slides. Was £6.00 Now £4.00

Ladybird tin brooch set. Was £6.00 Now £4.00

 

 

Alphabet Pin Badge. Was £5.00 Now £3.00

I adore the print of the sundress and can see it having several outings in the upcoming summer. The rest of the accessories will be added to my ever growing collection to be mixed and matched with various outfits and hairdos.

I'll be back next week with the latest pair of shoes I am lusting over.
