Er, you'd think I was cold or something.

Because I look like SATC 3 - Beatches visit the Arctic. I'm almost certain, in that one, Carrie has some kind of misunderstanding and falls out with Big. Maybe Jack Berger reappears. Samantha will most likely shag someone, and Miranda and Charlotte will have some interesting issues go down but they will ultimately be played down in favour of Carrie's self indulgent and ridiculous antics. To clarify, I love Sex and the City (seriously, all I want in life is time to breakfast with my girlfriends before swanning off to my awesome, late starting and short houred job) but what was film 2 all about? Why did they have to go to Abu Dhabi? Why did Stanford and Anthony get together? What the b'jesus was Carrie's issue with Big? And as if Aiden would just happen to be in that souk. It was just odd. Anyway, in SATC 3, I'll be some kind of odd extra that's followed them over from New York in my purdy dress and high heels but then, realising the chilling temperatures of the Arctic (and without the need for full on protection, given the likely ridiculousness of the plot), I bung on an aviator and skin a nearby bear for a hat. My hat is faux fur BTW.

Hat: Primark, Aviator: H&M, Dress: Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair, Shoes: Irregular Choice @ Schuh

The shoes are shoes # 47 (so close to 50!). They're Irregular Choice I got at Schuh a few years ago. For anyone new (Hello guys! Thanks ever so much for checking out my wee blog. I'm totally flattered 'n' that. We should go for a scone and have a chat) who isn't aware of my shoe wearing challenge (ha! As if wearing shoes is a challenge!), I am wearing all of my shoes over the course of a year (I have until the end of August). Any I don't manage to wear I have to sell or donate to charity. It should be doable but there are in the region of a hundred pairs and December was a total write off as I pretty much only wore my big stompy Docs on account of the snow! Darn snow! Anyway, ladies and dude (I think I have one man follower out there. Much love to ya!), feast your eyes...

Donchoo step on my white leather shoes

I have a question when it comes to these Irregular Choice shoes. Has anyone ever seen Carrie wear them on Sex and the City? And, if so, what episode? Because a rumour did the rounds about 6 years ago that they were in there somewhere and, through all my viewings, I've never once spied them. Which would seem to point to the rumour being a bit of an urban myth. You gotta love a good urban myth though, really. Especially ones that 'definitely happened to her friend so and so!'

 

And right about now, I guess the Elvis-tastic post title's making sense, right? It's like a shoe tribute to the big man himself. Or his jazzy jumpsuit at least. I think they were called Elvis but I can't be sure. Let's face it, my 'facts' thus far, when it come to these shoes, are questionable at best. Facts apart, I totally fell for these shoes and, flying in the face of all that is good and safe, I bought them off eBay from a girl selling another pair. She was a doll and tracked down my size, I paid, she sent them, she didn't have to pay eBay fees and we all lived happily ever after!

 

Anyway, let's get down to the business of discussing the immense awesomeness of the shoes:

Dude, they're white leather and yet nothing about them says 'cheap' or 'hooker'

Dude, they're bejazzled and covered in rhinestones and yet nothing about them says 'cheap' or 'hooker'

They have a cutesy round toe

Dude, they have AWESOME metallic blue shiny lining (you can just see it peeking out above, like a secret lover from a marital wardrobe) and yet nothing about them says 'cheap' or 'hooker'

They have a high but walkable in heel - sometimes sensibility is a consideration!

And with all the bejewelled excitement, what was I possibly going to wear with these striking items of footwear fantabulousness?! Ah, wella, wella, wella huh! A bunch of stars, that's what! Do you think I've slightly dropped the demented red eye factor in this pic but slightly added a bit of a freaky waxwork factor?

 

Shoes - Irregular Choice, you guessed it, circa ages ago!

Leggings (worth a mention for a change since they're not plain black) - Uniqlo (get a piece of them here for £6.99 - bargain!)

Dress and Cardi - Primark

 

Tee - Primark

Necklace - I think from Exile (chav designer place with the odd decent buy) in Edinburgh. Hail Mary for kitschy gifts from friends! (Apologies to anyone this offends. Lighten up though, eh?)

 

Let's finish up with an artsy shot then I'm off to repent and have a bath. (Genuinely, I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I don't even know if it's supposed to be Mary even. Can you tell I've been burned on this front recently?! Sometimes I just don't learn though...)
