An Irregular Choice of shoesy wishlist!

I am quite practical when it comes to footwear generally. I wear flat shoes mostly, sensible boots. They may be in bright colours or sequins, but generally I am not wearing skyscraper heels or things that are impractical. I do,however, have quite a few pairs.  However, I do happen to own a few pairs of decorative shoes that are slightly less practical- I do have 4-5 pairs of Irregular Choice shoes- mostly these were bought in the sale  a few years ago.
In recent years, realising I don't wear them a huge amount, mainly due to the amount of walking I do (and cycling) everywhere, I haven't bought any more pairs. Some of them are just too out there and impractical in terms of heels and moreover, they are very expensive.
But just occasionally, I go and have a look at the website and drool over their shoes.  Normally, in the sale season, anything in UK Size 8/European Size 42 that I actually like is long sold out so the temptation doesn't get to me.  However, I saw some LOVELY pairs when looking today (there are many, many pairs, but they are ruled out for me quickly!) and they are all available in my size!

I thought I'd share those shoes I liked best! They are works of art! And relax, I will not be buying them- they are too expensive- but I thought I would share them in case you liked any! Or a mysterious millionaire feels like sending them my way!! Ha ha!


Mini Mcnutty
Mini McNutty
They are velvety, blue and have fluffy squirrels on them!  I love Squirrels!

Pico
Pico

These are fun glittery and rainbowy and look FAIRLY practical
Paco

These black boots look like my Dr Martens but in a more flamboyant design.


Rumba

I LOVE the rainbowy but with a prominence of turquoise/Kingfisher blue (my favourite colour!) and they look comfy!
Summer Daze
Summer Daze
Similarly fun but pretty whilst being flat!

Shoreditch
Shoreditch
These look very sturdy! I love the design, maybe not the pink!

Hopscotch
Hopscotch
These would probably be too high for me but they are fun!
Dazzle Razzle
Dazzle Razzle
I do like the blue, shimmery material of these even if the bow is not up my street!

Total Freedom
Total Freedom
These are glorious! Rainbow sequins that have a silver side also!
Summer Of Love
Summer of Love
These look very cute and I like the rainbow design.
Lady Ban Joe
Lady Ban Joe
More rainbow but possibly too high!
Curio Low
Curio Low
I love these shimmery Turquoise ones so much with the perspex heel! I would definitely wear these lots since I have lots of clothes this colour!
Build Bridges
Build Bridges
More double-sided sequins with a more sedate colour option- black or pale turquoise.
Clara Bow
Clara Bow
I ummed and ahed over this shoe design Clara Bow, last year- they had a black and gold pair in the sale in my size but in the end decided I couldn't justify £50 on shoes. I really like the design and the colour of these. Plus, they are called CLARA!
Clara Bow
Clara Bow
This pair is most similar to the ones I was smitten with!
Little Lady Daisy
Little Lady Daisy
These are very fun and flat but I would wear them out very quickly- I am quite hard treading on flat, flat heels like this. So pretty though.


Dessie
Dessie
I think these Dessie ones are the ones I would love the most- they are like my beloved Dr Martens but in a shimmery rainbow design.  I reckon I could cycle in these too!

Little Rainbow Necklace
Little Rainbow necklace
Finally, they released a necklace to match the Little Daisy shoes above and it is a comparatively bargainous price of £10.99.

What do you think of my choices?  Would you wear any  of these?

Images are all property of Irregular Choice. I hope they don't mind me promoting their beautiful shoes!

A whimsical "Not buying ANYTHING in the sales," wishlist...

Since Christmas is now over and this won't sound like a big Christmas list, I thought I'd share some really nice and cute items that I think are great and would gladly own! As we are now mortgage-payers though not yet moved (more on that soon), I won't be buying any of these, much as I would LOVE to!  Maybe you might like them too! Or at least be entertained by my novelty tat-likes!
Fox blouse from Sugarhill Boutique
Firstly, I saw this blouse on my IG friend Charrrlie a while back and I confess that I adore it!  It's now in the sale at £29 and I would dearly love to buy it- in fact it has hovered in an online basket about 6 times now but I have not made any sale purchases as finances are going to be limited for a while so I won't be getting it, but it is rather gorgeous!
Fox jumper from Sugarhill Boutique
The fox blouse has been accompanied every time by this delightful foxy jumper, £35 in the sale- I think it is really cute but I do already have a fox jumper so alas, I must resist!
Rainbow jumper from Sugarhill Boutique
This rainbow jumper is also from Sugarhill Boutique but is not in the sale! It is rather jolly! I do love me a good rainbow!
Lolly Jar
Lolly Jar from Lottie and Lu.

High up the novelty tat (but expensive!) stakes is this aaaaaaaaaaamazing sweetie jar brooch from Lottie and Lu! Oh my! What a clever idea!

Button Jar Brooch
Button jar from Lolly and Lu by Martini & Slippers
Similarly, this button jar brooch is utterly adorable and I can think of clothing this would go beautifully with!




Sausage Fox necklace from Little Moose
Continuing the foxy theme is this marvellou Sausage Fox necklace from Little Moose! It is a lovely tortoiseshell acrylic and very sweet. They also do a Weasel which I love too! It is around £27.99

'Sausage' Weasel Necklace
Sausage Weasel necklace from Little Moose.

Oh look, here is the weasel!

Cheshire Cat Necklace
Cheshire Cat necklace from Little Moose

Little Moose have had this Cheshire Cat necklace a while and it is one I always go and stare at lovingly, well, when I remember that  Little Moose exist!
Apatosaurus necklace from Little Moose
This Apatosaurus necklace is HUGE and I adore it!


Mountain Range Necklace
Mountain range necklace from Little Moose
This Mountain and Cable Car necklace is really sweet- it's another one I occasionally go and drool over...
Firework Sparkle Necklace
Firework necklace from Tatty Devine
Finally,no way could I ever afford this but I do think this Tatty Devine necklace is amazing! CBC would KILL me if I bought and/or wore this!

Any ones you like here or are they all a bit too novelty for your tastes!?

A February wishlist!

I don't do wishlists very often but every now and then, I like to do one. More so because it's a form of therapy- ha ha! If I post it, then I will be less likely to buy it.  Also, it is my birthday in February.  Not that this will form any sort of hint to any of my family who buy me presents- those who read this would not buy me any of the following items as most deem I have too many clothes or my dress sense is too quirky and novelty (plus they are too expensive for a present).  So, it shall remain a wishlist I imagine unless I find myself strongly pining for an item too much!!Even then- NO!! But since we are saving for a house, really no more clothes or expenditure should really be in my current spending vocabulary!

Anyway, YOU may rather like these, so here I leave you great temptation!
17SS-TRS-01-3
From Miss Patina
If you've seen my posts in the past, I am a huge fan of Miss Patina.  I have three cat shirts, a cat skirt and several other shirts but I ADORE these trousers!!! They are my kind of BIG trouser- they look innocuous until you notice the kitties around the hem! I really like these!!! I would get a lot of use out of these and am uber fussy over trousers!! I looked at sizing and I guess I would go for a Medium I imagine although it is hard to tell!

£68 though... quite expensive!

17SS-TOP-08b-1
Miss Patina Meowy Joy top

It is another gorgeous cat-collared shirt!  I adore this too as it has a real nautical edge to it and nice bell sleeves.  All my Miss Patina shirts are small, so if you are my size and fancy it, go for small. £65

Miss Patina-17SS-SKT-01-9
Kitten Anthem skirt
It looks like a simple midi denim skirt but has cat embroidered pockets!!!
£68 but very versatile!

Miss Patina-17SS-SHT-07-3
Fern shirt
Something NON-cat themed from Miss Patina. This shirt looks really delicate and pretty! I see they are very much giving a nod to Vivetta's beautiful embroidery! £68


And now something from Sniktandbamf.co.uk
Falkor necklace
One of my earliest memories (and I don't have many clear memories) is of going to see The Neverending Story with my Uncle Tim at the Cinema around the age of about 3 and being taken out in floods of tears when I thought Falkor the luckdragon was dead! It's weird the way things happen as I JUST finished reading the book of the Neverending story this very morning (Monday) having borrowed it from the Classroom bookshelf in year 4 and lo and behold, this necklace showed up in my instagram feed this evening!!!

I can't get a picture but Sugar and Vice also have a Falkor pin!

Onto Hannah Hitchmann on Etsy!
Phoenix pin from Hannah Hitchman on Etsy
This pretty Phoenix pin won't break the bank at £8- nice glittery!


Rainbow music notes from Toms
I love my Toms shoes and these musical notes ones are in my size 8, £22 in the sale.  I did drop a hint to someone but I don't think they bothered!! Oh well, I have enough shoes...

Unless of course, they are  FOX shoes!!!
Image of Foxy Feet Shoes
Foxy feet from Love Hetty and Dave
Look at them!!! They are adorable.  Every time my husband asks me what I'd like for Christmas or Birthday (we didn't end up giving Christmas presents this year), I mention these shoes... £36!

And finally, no wishlist would be complete without a brooch!


Image result for dog on wheels brooch tatty
Tatty Devine Dog on wheels brooch
At £35, this is v expensive but I do rather like it!!! OOPS!!! Updated on 22nd Feb- bought this on ebay!

Is there anything here you would like or buy if money was no object??

Acrylic wishlist

Julia asked how I was able to blog when I've got so much to do. Well, the thinking process and writing process is pretty quick for me (I am a bit sloppy) and I have a whole plethora of different draft blogs which only need a tweak to be ready to go.
I was so determined to try and blog every day this year if I can (it won't last!) so I'm determined to write even if it is something short.
This has been in my drafts for a while, so I thought I may as well post it as I am sure others would like to drool over these too!

I've never expected anything to come of a blog wishlist before but I quite like seeing them on people's blogs so very rarely, I put one together. I'm not going to buy any of them, but a girl can dream eh and admire the pretty things. You don't have to own all the things you admire or like, it's ok not to buy something you love (she says, trying to convince herself) you can just share them with the world and acknowledge its prettiness/coolness without purchasing??
The Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland Vintage-Inspired Novelty Brooch
Cheshire cat brooch
I have always had a soft spot for the Cheshire Cat! He's so cool! This brooch is expensive but adorable!
The White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland Vintage-Inspired Novelty Brooch
White rabbit brooch

I love rabbits! Especially white rabbits- CBC and I bonded over a large white rabbit called Alice when we first met!

Vintage 60s Style Rotary Telephone Brooch - laser cut acrylic - Kitsch Novelty Brooch Statement Phone Brooch
Rotary retro telephone
Oh how amazing are these rotary telephone brooches!!!
Personalised guinea pig
You can get a guinea pig in the colour of your choice! I like these as brooches, so fun! Does anyone have an orange guinea pig?
Vintage radio
This retro radio is pretty funky! Would look great on a cropped cardie with a 50's dress!

Cutie Pi brooch
Cutie Pi
I love Kate Gabrielle's jewellery- this Pi brooch is one I've admired for ages!
Reading brooch
Reading
I already have some of her Flapperdoodle collar clips,but I love this reading brooch!!
Time for tenderness
The facial expressions on her flappers are brilliant! This one is cool!
Book worn cameo

A bookworm cameo- that's one for me I'm sure!!

Are there any of these you like at all?
