I'm not going to lie, I've always been dismissive towards girls who fall in love with shoes. I always thought them to be irritating and spoilt with wrong priorities in life. I used to turn my nose up at them and insist they were ditzy, idiotic airheads.

However, on the 28th of March this all changed. I went shopping in London with my nana and we were in Irregular Choice in Carnaby Street, which is a shop that sells the most unbelievably unique and stunning shoes you've ever seen. And I saw a pair of heels. And it quite literally was love at first sight. So I asked the lady for them in my size. But alas! "They're out of stock in that size." So I enquired, "Can I order a pair in?" "No.", she told me, "They are now out of production." I left the shop with my metaphorical tail between my legs.

That evening, I emailed the stockist telling him how desperately I needed these shoes. But hark, his reply merely read:

"Dearest Irregular Customer.
Thank you for contacting Irregular Choice!
As you may know, Irregular Choice is very popular and often sells out. It can be hard to get hold of past season styles once they have sold out from shops.
Our web site is currently undergoing a super-dooper makeover and will be back in full swing during June 2009.
However, if it’s something from a previous collection that you are after, these websites and stores will sometimes stock past seasons! Check:

www.branch309.co.uk/irregularchoice
www.ebay.co.uk
T K Maxx
Should you wish to buy a pair of shoes you can’t find in a local stockist feel free to contact our London or New York store who may be able to help until our fantastic new web site launches.
Carnaby Street, London W1: 0207 494 4811
New York, Soho,: 001212 334 3404

Love n Kisses

However, disastrously, none of the aforementioned websites of shops have the pair of shoes I so passionately desire.
So now, I take back everything I have ever said about girls who fall in love with shoes. I now know how you feel, and my heart is truly broken.

Dwell on their stunningness...
