It seems that last week's feather-embellished flats - Kate Spade's 'Dusk' - fell a little flat. Still, 'bird-brained' or not, they certainly won a few fans! If you're keen, you can pick them up for a discounted $159.99 from Bluefly.
This week's offering was actually suggested for 'Ugly Shoe of the Week', but I thought I'd put it to the vote instead! A rather 'different' stiletto / shoe / boot concoction... is it a designer doozie or frightfully foul? Yay or Nay and why?

At first glance, these “Grace” sandals from Monsoon have the potential to be brilliant. The shade of pink is lovely, the low heel allows you to be on your feet for prolonged periods, and the gold inside adds an undeniable touch of class. Sadly, the pass marks in these sections are obliterated by the concertina on the front of the shoe, which sticks out like a sore thumb. How many chickens died so a perfectly good shoe could be ruined? Price is £80, plus eternal vigilance against Foghorn Leghorn’s relatives.

April is just around the corner and no doubt the infamous April showers will come with it. After a tough winter you may find yourself longing to slip on a pair of sky-high heels, but it might be advisable to hold back on the sandals until you can be (almost) sure it isn't going to rain every other day. For the moment, durable boots are your friend, such as these from ASOS.com. They're a man made fabric, come in black, grey and tan and only cost £40. You can get a good couple of month's wear out of them and then bring on the summer shoes we're all so desperate to wear!

When we think of ribbon sandals, visions of candy-colored confections typically spring to mind. But there's something much more sophisticated about the black and natural stripes of this Bruno Frisoni ribbon platform sandal. The thin-as-a-nail stiletto doesn't hurt, and certainly vamps things up. With a matching ribbon clutch, it's no surprise Vivre chose it as a charming coordinate for spring.

Despite the name 'Comical', there is nothing comical about these cute navy canvas courts from Faith.Whilst the navy and white colour scheme, gives a little nod to the nautical theme; the bow and the punched hole detailing finish the shoe off perfectly. If you want to rock the 'sailor chic' look this spring/summer, then these are shoes to consider. At the very purse friendly price of £30, it would be rude not to!
