Irregular choice Mal e Bow and Pin Yin purchases

Previous photos show I have a steady obsession with Mal e Bows, they for me match any outfit, they are simple but pretty and add a lovely angle to any set of legs, they are the perfect dinner shoe, of course I adore the crazy, loud, proud styles that have and are currently being released but they are my staple every day shoes, I've been after those that seem to sell out quickly and I end up missing out on and I found a pair all the way in china, we often associate China with knock off, cheaply made plastic items that ship for pennies however many of our long standing, more expensive everyday items are made in the same place and not everything is a fake, it's always good to be cautious and I check out suppliers i'm not sure about with IC themselves quite often to be sure.
 

I'm not sure if these were a UK release, they were an old style before I started collecting them but since finding this colour way I've only ever found them in the US and China, they are a silky emerald and very beautiful in real life, they aren't a colour I have in my collection in any shoes except for the Aaliah recently released but I love them.

Who doesn't love pandas, cute little black and white bears that are cuddly an sweet, how about on a shoe for people too adore! Pin Yin are my first pandas, I have squeezy but I opted for the gold bear style rather than the black and white, I first wanted the blue version of Pin Yin and they hadn't come up for sale but I chanced sharing a photo and the same company that had my elusive Mal e Bows also had these in my size, ready to ship
 

My heart could of burst when I opened the box, I expect to really not like the mash of black, white and yellow but it really works because of how it clashes, I've worn my Flopsy bunny heels on every weekly shop since I bought them but I may now have a new shopping shoe to enjoy showing off

More Easter Lush

Recently i posted here: Lush Easter Haul about my latest haul from Lush, a few days later my mum surprised me with a new lush item instead of an egg, I'm not complaining, I'm on a diet and could do without the temptation.
My brother also go my daughter her own bath bomb, although hers was aside some chocolate so she was really happy.


 

Mine was a Flowering tea reusable bubble bar, for those that haven't used a bubble bar before it's like a solid bubble bath that you can run under the tap, swish around the bath or crumble into running  water, this is one of the more intricate designs, as you dip the teabag by the string and the bubble bar melts it releases blue cornflowers, it is very pretty and a lovely scent so i'm looking forward to using it soon.

Monsters bath bomb was a Ickle Baby Bot which is scented with lavender and camomile, perfect for a night time bath after the Easter holidays on the wind down to school, they are super inexpensive and if it helps then I'll be stocking up


I had to find a bigger jar for my comforter bubble bar, it was simply too big so I took the chance to arrange all of the ones I have on the go currently L-R: Unicorn horn, Comforter, Milky bath, Candy mountain and 5 gold rings, it is much easier to use them like this and they smell lovely in the bathroom.

Shoe Scam Sites

We all hate to be caught out by scammers, be it online or offline, cloning cards and emptying bank accounts has became an ongoing issue that we've had to protect ourselves from since bank accounts came about online now online shopping is so much bigger it's so much more common to be easily led and caught out

Irregular choice along with many other shoe brands are not known for their cheap shoes, quality overrules cheap prices but we all love a bargain, more often than that just finding the shoes we want is a result so when you find the shoes you want AND they're at a bargain price it's all to easy to be led into giving over your card details and getting yourself a much sought after pair of shoes, however so often the saying 'too good to be true' is needed

So to keep you safe online I've included some websites both currently live and previously known as fake sites, feel free to let me know if you come across any others or even have been scammed yourself

Live at the time of posting:


The list above is of sites all currently live, offering shoes and either not sending any shoes at all but gaining your money and details OR sending very cheap none IC shoes, the list below is of sites that have previously been used to do the same but are either now inactive or currently blocked by my service provider so I can't see them


**www.Alibaba.com** this site is NOT a scam site, they do sell items and they do ship goods out, however....they also sell a lot of replica/copy items, I've not seen a legitimate Irregular Choice seller advertise on there but I have seen a lot of copies of Irregular Choice shoes, I don't find with added fees, shipping ect the site to be any cheaper than buying from the UK and I cannot comment on the quality but personally I wouldn't risk it, if the shoes arrived damages or faulty there is little you can do unless you ship them back and then it becomes an even more expensive lesson.

The first thing to look for when trying to see if a website is real is check it's relevance, 'themudshead' has nothing to do with shoes or selling them in the title.
Then check for store details, any real site will provide a business address, even if they don't have a shop they need somewhere to receive returns and register their business.
Lastly, if they don't take paypal think it over! paypal is the quickest, safest way to pay, of course not everyone will take paypal but if they don't have a shop to take telephone orders and don't tick any box from above then please, please give IC a call at their head office and get the business verified before you hit order, you're bargain may end up costing more than it's worth if you don't.

I hope some of the above helps, I've seen an increase in people being caught out and if I can stop it happening to one person than my post has been worth it.
