7 Days of Irregular Choice #Day4

What good pair of shoes doesn't deserve a gorgeous bag to complete the look, Irregular choice do not fail to charm with these gorgeous styles.

The detailing is as good as it comes on the shoes and the large images really are show stopping, the bags are large but ideal if like me you carry everything including the sink, and the soft lining inside just adds a luxury feel. 

 

The smaller lunchbox bags are the cutest bags I've seen, the gingerbread house being my favourite bag I own, it's soft all over and the detailing is amazing, I use this bag all the time even though it's no longer the festive season.

These bags are sought after and if you see one pop up don't hesitate, they don't stick around for long and haven't been rereleased so far.

7 Days of Irregular Choice #Day3

Excuse the double post but for some reason my post timer isn't playing fair.

Todays shoes are of a time gone by, everything photographed below is from before 2013 or before.

From Krystal star to Teacups my collection of 2011/2012 are quite dark, I don't have many black shoes and those I do are older styles but even in black they all carry a charm about them that an ordinary black shoe just doesn't.

 

Sometime these little beauties pop up for sale on bidding sites and can be snapped up but for the most part they are little sought after gems that are easier found on search engines.

IC are not known for their stiletto style heel and throughout 2012 they offered very unusual shapes and angles of heel, the Teacups and Krystal star carrying a high instep style heel,

7 Days of Irregular Choice #Day2

Me again :) I have more IC for you today, a whole bunch of trainers, no one can wear heels forever and I adore the ICED range that IC do, from the Lashed boots to the flat Petras, they all have a quirk like no other shoe and are really comfy to wear all day.

Irregular choice are loud, in your face, notice me kind of shoes but they also have hidden gems, for instance the Lashed come with a side pocket that actually works, the petra are slip ons that look like lace ups and the Bow ta Fly have a zip for ease.

The fabrics are colour intense! they have cute stitches on and i'll be adding to my collection as and when I can, they are my go to flats now instead of my plain trainers, fingers crossed my next pair will flash too.

The range is large but limited, you really must be quick because they sell out so fast in all colours.

7 Days of Irregular Choice #Day1

We all have that something that we love so much we want it in every way, be it a lipstick in every colour or a dress in every pattern, mine are Mal e Bows, courtesy of Irregular Choice these gorgeous, girly, often glittery shoes are most girls dream, they have bows, they have sparkles and they make you feel great wearing them.

Never one to turn away a reason to hoard I quickly found Mal e Bows to be my favourite from the Irregular choice mutiny range because they are a classic heel, my ideal go to style and height for almost any occasion and coming in most colours means I can match them to any outfit.

They really do make me feel like a lady when I wear them and while ever IC continue to make new styles of this shoe I will continue to buy them.

 

Over the next 7 days I will be posting different styles of Irregular choice shoes, mainly in bulk photos because otherwise we'd be hitting 60 single posts to cover each shoe *I own the fact I hoard*

If there is a style you're interested in or would like to see more photos off just let me know, even if I don't plan to blog about that one on it's own I'm always happy to take extra snaps.

New year New nails

January I spent it mostly eating up the last of the chocolates and biscuits, picking up Christmas tags and finally sorting out a mountain of old toys and ironing.

Now we are in February it's time to get back to real life and find that routine we all lost over Xmas and my birthday mid Jan so i'm a month behind everyone else.

So we'll kick this month off with getting rid of the festive colours and bringing back some bright colour to get us through the cold.

My order from Models Own came and I loved everything as soon as I opened it, the colours are so vibrant and shiny.

 I took advantage of the £2.50 each offer before Christmas and grabbed the 6 from my top must have list, Left to right:

Colour Chrome - Red

Colour Chrome - Turquoise

Wonderland - Jack Frost

Beetlejuice - Indian ocean 

Colour Chrome - Gold

Colour Chrome - Cerise

Sadly my Jack frost from the wonderland collection was broken like a silly delivery man had dropped it hard but the customer services were awesome!! they got another out to me super quick and it was perfect.

 

These colours are so rich and the chromes really are chrome so i'll be getting lots of use out of them all year round and i'll be keeping an eye out for the next sale to add to my collection.

Black Friday and where i'll be shopping

Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Boxing day sales...it's all offers, savings and money off at the minute but who are actually worth looking at?


Personally I will only be buying things I would normally of looked for but possible a week or two early for a saving, I don't buy into the WAS £900 now £150 tv that I really don't need.


First up....http://www.choosemad.com/ these guys stock mostly silver jewellery and I only wear silver jewellery, I find the perfect gifts with these guys, cute little studs, sparkly bangles and oh so cute pendants but most of all ALL profits got to charity, you are able to select which charity the profits go to aswell which is a lovely touch, Friday the 27th brings 50% off everything, I would already be shopping here before Xmas so this is an added bonus for me :) Don't forget to use the code 'MADGOESMAD'




Next we have shoes, now I like a deal as much as the next person but I also love smaller shops not run by Mr Rich with his 2 super cars and a boat on hand so I try when possible to buy from non chain stores and since I have a huge love for shoes i'll be checking out http://www.eshoesdirect.co.uk/
The store offer a wide range of shoes that are all super gorgeous but also it's run by a really lovely lady who has great taste in stock, along with some lovely Ruby Shoo which gentlemen! hint hint are a perfect Christmas gift but I also hear from a little bird that they will be having a mix % off their Irregular choice and the rest of their lovely shoes tomorrow and as a IC collector I will most certainly be checking them out tomorrow.




Lastly i'll be getting straight online to www.modelsownit.com which sell the most beautiful colours of nail polish ever!, if you want glitter, they have it, if you want two tone, they have it, if you want Bright and bold, they have it! It is the perfect and although each bottle is inexpensive at just £4.99 for Black Friday they have a 50% off sale on tomorrow which makes it 2 for 1 :D perfect for a last minute Christmas colour purchase to match the planned outfit.


I hope you all enjoy the savings to be had tomorrow <3 TJ x

The Soap & Glory Post

I have an addiction, it's called Soap & Glory and I am not ashamed <3

There are few things in life that make me happier than my bath and beauty items, so I wanted to share them with you.

 

It all started a few years back when my now mother in law bought me a gorgeous gift set for Christmas and I've been hooked ever since, I go crazy when there are 3 for 2 offers on or a new scent comes out and I'm signed up to any info I can get my hands on like the Facebook page and newsletter.

 

I'd like to start with the bulk of my collection, mainly big tubs and bottles which are perfect for pampering and not worrying you've over done it on scents.

 

I won't give you a list of everything but I've sorted them into smaller sections for ease, I also feel the need to have two of everything, sometimes gift sets mean I end up with more though.

 

Below are my Body washes, body butters, bodyscrubs and body lotions and one bath foam :) these are my go to for a quick pick me up they come in scents like lime, orange or oatmeal, all of which smell amazing and the scent lasts which is rare in washes, I find once i'm dry normally I can't smell anything at all on my skin with other washes. These are inexpensive and a great gift for anyone.

 

Next are mainly my hands and feet, I live for these, the foot genius is the best foot cream I've ever used and since my mum is a QVC junkie I've tried a lot of them, the hand dream is a step up and above the hand food, I only have two sadness's about S&G the longevity of the hand food and the longevity of the righteous butter, everything else is perfect!  

These next ones are my face bits, they also include the only makeup I own by S&G bar mascara and plumping lipgloss, peaches and clean is fab and glow lotion is a go to highlighter in the summer for me.

The scents <3 Oh the scents! I fall in love deeper and deeper every time I wear them, the sugar crush is perfect for everyday wear and the mist you madly is a gorgeous, dreamy evening scent, I don't have them all but I plan to ask santa to sort that.

 

Mini's, I adore mini's, they are perfect for swimming pool showers, handbags, travel luggage and computer draws, also because of my problem with making hand food last as long as it takes me to use one it they are more convenient :) 

 

The rest of my minis, sometimes I don't have room in my bag to carry a large tub of body butter, so  I need these :D all of them! 

 

So there you have it, my collection of soap and glory and don't worry about it going off before I use it, I took these photos 4 days ago and I've used up 3 items from here already that I'll replace on my next Boots trip.

 

I haven't counted them but i'm guessing I have close to 100 or more items, I don't really use anything else except for my hair but that's only because the shampoo by Soap & Glory is so good at cleaning it removes my semi permanent hair colours a little too well but I do use it when i'm back to my natural colour :)

 

Don't forget over Christmas S&G sell some wonderful gift boxes and the heavily sought after Christmas box normally holding around £75 worth of stuff for around £35 but that's a limited edition and they sell super quick so be ready when they come out, perfect for anyone that likes to pamper <3
