In association with the (Product) Red charity Converse have created a pair of limited edition trainers which will be available in Gap stores across the US. The trainers are available in white or olive and come with a signature red stripe and will retail for $67. Gap are donating 50% of the profits from sales of the shoes to the charity. Earlier in the year Converse asked Giles Deacon to design a shoe using african mudcloth. [via Catwalk Queen]
The sun is finally out, and despite the fact that last time I said this it started snowing only days later, I'm in the mood for a bit of sandal shopping ready for summer. Neet have won my heart by naming this cute little sandal from their new summer collection 'Gemma'. Available in silver or lilac, the pretty little circle-covered design will set you back £65. If anyone asks, it was named after me. Honest!

Possibly the comfiest Mary Janes you’ll ever find yourself wearing (but where's the MJ strap?) these sports shoes by Vans are made super cute with its swirly flower design and addition of a bow. The fact that they can easily be worn with a short denim mini, a cute top and are a purse friendly £29.99 may make them one of the few pair of trainers I run out to buy, providing I don’t stumble across a pair of stunning 3 inch heels along the way.

I understand if you don’t find these open toed courts appealing. Heck, I myself found the wooden heel an odd clunky mix with the silver / suede upper at first glance. However, these shoes have stuck in my mind for the best part of the day and I've started to imagine wearing them ‘Von Teese’ style with a tight pencil skirt and a nipped in waist. The only way I can remedy this is by buying these £99 ‘Adira’ heels by Solea which are also available in black or blue at Kurt Geiger. It's a price to pay but at least I'll get back to concentrating on some work.

Beach-loving land-lubbers ahoy! If you fancy a swashbuckle on the high seas, but haven't quite got your 'sea legs' yet; why not show your pillaging predilections with these 'Scurvy Dot' flip-flops from Paul Frank? Perfect for the urban pirate (who likes their Vitamin C), they're a trivial £10 at ASOS.

Even though this 'Matilda' peep-toe from Oasis is very similar in detailing to the Office 'Countess' court, the 'Matilda' may just have the edge. The 'Matilda' for instance has an air of refined elegance; with the peep toe and pale salmon colouring (Oasis' description, not mine.) Which makes the 'Countess' court look like it has leapt straight from the wardrobe of Melanie Griffith from 'Working Girl'. It's really up to you, and which look you are going for, but what wins it for the 'Matilda' is that it is on sale for £25. Bargain!

Sometimes pink shoes can look too childish or a bit garish, if you get the shade of pink wrong. However, you can't go wrong with these Valentino metallic bow ballerinas from Bergdorf Goodman. Your feet will truly be 'Pretty in Pink' this summer, if teamed with an uber cute dress or some crisp whites. Eat your heart out Molly Ringwald! You may need Molly Ringwald's bank balance though, as these shoes will set you back US$395.
