Last time I did this, it was to rave to you all that, in their quest for world blog domination, Shiny Media had entrusted me with The Bag Lady. Well this time, you'll be glad to know they've let someone else have a go. Introducing Hippyshopper - Ethical Consumerism. If you're all about clean living, organic stuff, ethically sourced products, fair trade and all that environmental lark, you'll love this. Even if you're not, you'll be amazed how quickly you get sucked in (I blame Green & Blacks). Hell, even my brother is currently sporting a Respect The Mountain wristband. If that's not enough to pursuade you, I've been scouring the new blog this morning and have already found two shoe posts. Enough said.

Introducing the Jimmy Choo 'Glory' toe-post sandal. What else can be said except 'ladies, this is what a glam evening toe-post should look like'. Take note, swoon for a good few minutes, and then start saving. Looking this gorgeous will set you back $790. And then of course you'll be wanting a bag to match...
Quite a few of you have been in touch recently to complain about the lack of decent footwear for ladies with petite feet. It’s true that most shoe designers seem to believe we’re all a UK size 4+, or if we have tiny feet, we also lack any kind of style whatsoever. But there are gorgeous shoes for small feet around, like this 'Kelly' shoe, £75 from Small-Shoes.co.uk. You just need to look around a little. So what are Shoewawa’s tips for finding good shoes in small sizes? Read on for ideas & useful links!

Alexandra Neel is the queen of the D’Orsay pump. She makes beautiful classic styles with great feminine detail. But you pay for that chic style, a pair of her stiletto pumps will set you back somewhere in the region of $500. Lucky for us, designer discount domain bluefly has got hold of these amazing brown leather corset detail D’Orsays and knocked 40% off the RRP. Snap them up now for $350.
Ok, so I’ll put anything diamante up here given half a chance, but there’s a reason for choosing Kenneth Cole Reaction’s ‘Flirt With Me’ sandal
. It’s the perfect multi-purpose day-to-night holiday choice. Being almost flat it’s practical enough to be worn all day, but the sparkly buckle and tiny kitten heel make it dressy enough for evenings if you’re short on packing space. What’s more, it’s leather, so it wears well, and at $69.99, it’s affordable.
There's no denying these £44.99 Office Wedding shoes are beautiful, but we really pity the bride who thinks she'll be able to walk in them all day. If you're planning your Spring / Summer wedding and are in the middle of choosing shoes, remember to think practically. You don't have to sacrifice style for comfort, just remember, these would be a much better choice for you and the balls of your feet. We're sure The Manolo would agree.
These new BCBG Girls 'Galian' sandals ($104.95) caught our eye because they manage to combine so many key trends all in one go. They've got the cork heel (very Kurt Geiger-esque) and the platform sole, they're strappy and Summery, and they even have a bit of boho crotchet detail. The downside of all this is that next year they'll be completely out of date...but right now they're perfect for tendy young things (but perhaps not great for the over 25s who should know better).
