Irregular Choice - Odette and Savan

Welcome to the world of swans, a brand new concept heel from Irregular Choice and I for one am in love
 
 
I decided as I only have one other pair of black concept heels that the Black Odette were a must however when they arrived they blew my mind! they're a oil slick shine which is just amazing with a black glitter and black lace tassel fringe, honestly it sounds like too much but when it's put together it's just perfect.
 
Then I needed some pink shoes, don't we all? I'm not a pink person but sometimes an outfit just calls for something pink and i'm so glad I chose these ones, they have multicolours sequins in amongst the pink which just break up the single colour, the swans are a furry to touch which worries me because any scuffs or dirt may show up but i'm going to add a coat of hairspray over the top to stop any dirt being able to stick to them.
 
There were eight swan heels to choose from and whilst they were all beautiful in their own way these two were my favourites and i'll certainly wear them plenty, the new sole is just amazing, i'm naming them boobie lobsters because....well I don't think I need to explain but the crabs and fish just add to the great artwork, it's lovely to see patterned soles back after the spots of last season.
 
 
I hope you've enjoyed reading, I'll be back to my Tuesday Shoesday posts from this week fingers crossed x

Bath Bomb Wednesday - The Experimenter

Lush bath bombs, they don't come in a sealed wrapper and are better used ASAP because too much time in the air can leave them crumbly, I wrap all of mine in clingfilm because of my bulk buying habits but i'm not sure it worked with this one.
 
There was a lot of bleeding of colours but I imagine that'd happen over time with most, I have to say compared to other peoples photos this was such a let down, I'm not sure if mine was just a bad one or if this is what happens if you leave it a few weeks from purchase but all my others have been fine after time.

 
I barely got a fizz from this, the colours just weren't there and there wasn't much scent at all, I love lush, i'm not at all bashing them but if I repurchased this I think i'd use it within a couple of days to compare the results otherwise I wouldn't bother with this one again.

Bath Bomb Wednesday - Holly Go Lightly

I'm nearly through my bomb cosmetic bath bombs, I've loved using them up but i'm glad to see the end is near as for the Christmas range, this year I think i'll cut back on how much of the range i'll buy now I know which I like and which I wouldn't repurchase.
 
This one shares a name with a Lush Bubblebar 'Holly go lightly'
It was lacking any real fragrance and didn't give my bath any colour, the gold pieces are 5 gold rings by Lush which I used for the bubbles
 
The glitter wasn't dissolvable which i'd of preferred but the bomb was much frothier than I expected, almost like a bath creamer than a bomb, it was full of oils and creaminess and I judged it way to early because the outcome was so much more than I expected.
It gave me everything I wanted from a creamer, no colour, very little scent but all the goodness, along size a vibrant bomb this would be perfect so i'll repurchase this as a creamer in future.

Irregular Choice - Tea cups

I didn't own many red shoes until this week, suddenly I've gained 3 pairs, the first of which were these beautiful, bold tea cups, anything with faux fur, pom poms and laces are perfect in my eyes.
As with many of Irregular choice styles, the lining is a soft velvet feel which makes them all the more comfortable and the outside is so soft I could stroke it for hours they are close fitting so the laces don't need to be tight and although there isn't a hidden platform the shape are relatively easy to walk in.

 
I have a black pair on the way with damaged pom poms so i'll be customising them in the near future and sharing my progress.
