In These Heels

Archive for the ‘Shopping’ Category

The crazier the better is a mantra I generally go by when it comes to accessories. So its no surprise that Irregular Choice is one of my favourite brands. Here are my picks from the current stock on site.

See below the jump for links to product pages, and if you would like to contribute towards me buying any of these, check out my Blog Sale!!

Peacocks have a great sale on at the mo, and are offering free delivery if you spend £30, which really wouldn’t be too hard!

My picks from the sale are below, all prices are accurate at time of blogging!

Cute to dress down with a cardi, tights and either black or brown boots, its hard to see what the darkest colour is on this dress. No need for accessories, let the pattern do the talking.  Ladies 60s Print Shift Dress £9

Flared skirts are EVERYWHERE. Which isn’t such a bad thing.  They flatter all shapes, forgive your Food Baby Belly after a big lunch .The problems come when the wind lifts it round you head, and when shops insist on making them short enough to see what food that baby ate for lunch.  This one promises to fall just below the knee, which is much more like it. the contrasting side panels, and zip make for something just a little bit different from all the skater dresses out there.   Fit & Flare Colour Block Dress £14

This skirt has a bit of a mullet going on, but I think it would be perfect with chunky boots and a huge wool scarf in the snow! Slinky Dip Hem Skirt £8

Unfortunately this dress suffers from poor styling, well, I certainly wouldn’t wear that dress with THOSE heels.  I really think it needs a wide belt, and knee high black boots.  Add a wide floppy hat for a real ’70s feel.  Hanky Hem Dress £11

Another ‘mullet’ skirt, I really like the rust colour of this one, but would reserve judgement until I seen the fabric, it looks a bit shiny. But I like a challenge.  Its in a new range, called Peacocks by Design, and is available in mid brown and teal.  Dip Hem skirt £14

Perhaps my favourite out of all the dresses, and for £20, its a bargain.  Peacocks can be touch and go with their quality, but this is again from the new by Design range, so I would like to think they addressed those issues.  This dress would get worn a lot!!  Colour Block Dress £20

Im keen to try a leather skirt, and this faux leather one could be a cheap way to discover that its actually not for me at all.  I envision wearing it to work, with a crisp white shirt, but reality? I wouldn’t have a clue what shoes to wear with it, and would squeek against my faux leather chair all day.  Pleat Centre Hem Skirt £9

Yeah, I need these.  Brogue Heel Boots £24.50

Available in brown ’leather’ or black faux suede, these wedge heels would be a welcome addition to any wardrobe. I might  have to get the black! Wedge boots both styles £21

These surprised me when I came across them, pleasantly!! Peacocks shoes can be on the small, and narrow side, so again, I’d have to see these in real life, before I committed to them.  Holly Round Toe Block Platform Heels £17.50

Is it ok to mix floral patterns?

I love this Mango dress, which is in the ASOS mid season sale for only £14.

Do you think I could wear this mini hat with it, or is that a fashion no-no? For only
£5 in Oasis

Please vote in the poll!

I missed out on all the other Urban Outfitters sale stuff I picked So I’m gonna torture myself again with these.

The faux leather leggings sound sooooo wrong, and yet for £20, they could be exactly what is missing from my wardrobe! Whereas the triple ring is adorable, and I have to have it.  £8. Yes please.

I’m gonna be really bad and order these, although I’m seriously penniless right now.   But I’m gonna spend today and tomorrow sorting out clothes for a possible Twitter/Tumblr/Blog/ASOS Marketplace sale. So I hope to make this money back, and more!

One of my fav highstreet shops has a heck of a lot of items in the sale for only £5. But the problem is, when you want a lot of things, it still ends up with you having £70 of ‘bargains’ in your basket!!

Knuckle Ring (only gold left)

Black bar ring

Zebra cuff! So cute

I love super long earrings, especially with cropped hair. These measure 13cms!

Butterfly & Geeky specs, all only £5 each, with clear glass.

Do you prefer the Moose? Or the Panda? I cant decide!

This would be perfect under loose tops, or ones that have a habit of sliding off your shoulder.

I’m currently saving all my pennies for these amaing Jeffery Campbell boots from Office.co.uk.
£200. Eek. And then the totally unfair £10 p&p charges to Northern Ireland, when the rest of the UK gets it free. I know from personal experience it costs no more with Royal Mail to send a parcel to London, as it does to send it next door. Its about time companies realised this, especially when the Belfast store doesnt even stock these boots!! (I know, I have checked.)

I think I’m half way there, I haven’t checked yet. My sister has the key to the piggy bank so I don’t go into it!

Theres no links on here, cos they were all bought ages ago, and have since sold out!! Sorry!

Asos Fringe necklace

ASOS crown hairband

Next butterfly jumpsuit, from ebay, and still to be worn as it needs taken up

River Island tights, too long for my stumps, and I can only wear with boots

Bebaroque snake skin print Myrtle tights. Its love.

I also bought a pony tail for the Star Wars event at W5. I liked it!! Growing my hair now, but wish it would hurry on!

I’m really looking forward to getting the neck ruff, no idea how to style it, but I’m willing to give it a go!
