Christian Louboutin flat sandals from Browns

christian louboutin browns sandals.jpgJust the thing to add a little Elle MacPherson soignée chic to your wardrobe these flat sandals from Browns are the perfect preppy shade of tan. The braiding adds a nice bit of textural interest without being too fuddy duddy and they would make even the most floaty floral dress smart enough for the office. They're by Christian Louboutin and will set you back £460.

Topshop's Hackle high leg fringe sandals

topshop42H26SBER.jpg It might sound a little silly but when I first saw these Toopshop Hackle-High leg fringe sandals I thought "Jack in the beanstalk" because of the fringe strap that climbs right up the leg. Then I decided that you would get the weirdest tan line if you wore these out in the sun - I think on a way too practical level sometimes when it comes to shoes. But all that aside I actually think these shoes are very cool. You can get the gladiator-style boot without actually wearing boots that strap all the way up your leg would make walking so much easier. And the price isn't too bad - £25 isn't too much to ask, and they're also available in 2 other colours. I might have to order me a pair now...

Balenciaga pink satin multicolor floral printed sandals

balenciaga-pinksatinfloralsan.jpg It's been a while since I've seen Balenciaga shoes that weren't gladiator boots (and seen on Mary-Kate Olsen) or rather outrageous. These Balenciaga pink satin multicolor floral printed sandals definitely don't fit into the previous two categories but do go with Balenciaga's spring 2008 floral theme. Bright, colourful and complete with chunky heel, these shoes just seem to hark back to the 1990s, which is rather scary because I really hoped I would never see those kinds of shoes again. They're not a must-buy for me, but it could be interesting to see if anyone does wear them. Love them? They've been marked down from $725 to $580 at BlueFly.

Office sale - nab some shoes for a fiver

office_sale.jpg

It's sale time at Office and you'd better get in quick - shoes are going for as little as a fiver (no jokes). My picks from the cheapies are (L to R) the blue jelly peep toes (£5), side tie ankle boot (£10) and the brown ribbon bow pump (£10).

New York Magazine finds out what men think of women's shoes

Most women know that there are some aspects of fashion that men just don't get. In this video, New York magazine takes to the streets to ask men what they think of some of this Spring's shoe styles (some of which I don't necessarily "get" either, it has to be said. Yes, Prada, I'm talking about you again...). Warning: some bad language from the gentlemen in this one, mostly when they're told the price of the shoes!

Not So Casual Friday: Nude satin Kasirai shoes by Pedro Garcia

nude-satin-shoes.jpgThis is yet another example of a shoe that's simple yet oh-so very gorgeous! It's Pedro Garcia's 'Kasirai' shoe, which comes in this glorious nude coloured satin. In this picture, the front of the shoe looks like it's sticking out rather a lot, but they look fine on the mannequin, so I suspect they'll also look good on a foot! Overall a very classy shoe in a colour that will be very versatile. They're £185 at My-Wardrobe.
