We've being oohing and ahhing over Miu Miu's gorgeous shoes for as long as we can remember. This season it's those to-die-for glitter boots that are sparking a high-street copycat frenzy.
It seems we're not the only ones who are smitten. Girl after our own hearts, Emma Roberts, is also a huge fan. We've spotted her stepping out in Miu Miu's glitter sandals twice already.
Further fueling our lust, she dressed the platforms down for day with jeans and a blazer, before going head-to-toe Miu Miu in a copper peter pan collar dress after dark. Suddenly, the price per wear justifies that £420 price tag.
Pick up a smiliar pair at Topshop for a snip of the designer price.

From now until mid-2012, ballerina shoes are usually paired with thick tights or (dare I say it) unsexy-but-practical pop socks if you're wearing trousers. Those of us who have made the mistake this week of wearing them with bare feet have utterly regretted it.
That said, I'd be happy to wear some pop socks if I could wear these Red Heart Ballerina Shoes. There's something a little French about them, with their romantic declarations and chic simplicity.
Sadly at £210.10, they're a little out of my price bracket. If you can afford them though, pair them with a LBD and patterned tights.
Yesterday, I spotted a double rainbow outside after a particularly hard downpour. It was a nice reminder that there's always a silver lining.
In the same way, the chilly weather might mean you have to put away your flip flops and open-toed shoes, but it also means you can invest in these rainbow heels from Red or Dead.
Schuh gave us a little sneak peak at them on their Facebook page. They'll be available in time for payday, in early November, for £90.
If you can't decide which bright colours to go for this winter, why not wear them all at once? These crazy wedges from Dune will certainly make your life easier, as there are more clashing shades in there than we'd care to count!
At first glance, these look more like a style you might expect to find in a summer collection than an autumn/winter shoe, but they actually look hot to trot when worn over black opaque tights!
Get your freak on this party season with some crazy colours to ramp up your look!
These boots are from Missoni's latest footwear offering: a loud, proud pair of python-embellished creations with a crazy crochet-covered block heel. I think it's fair to say we've never seen anything like it, although I've a feeling I may have done (at the circus).
Missoni has never been a brand to shy away from strong colours, however, and while this is not entirely along their usual design lines, it's still quite in keeping with their commitment to shock and awe. Individual bits of the boot - like the interesting wave pattern on the heel and the woven-in gold strands on the laces are fun in themselves, but does it all hang together?
Jimmy Choo's Kershaw is one of our all-time favourite styles. It has two major drawbacks, however: (1) It's sold out everywhere and (2) it costs over a grand. Not one to be put off, however, Ms. Shoewawa has scoured the high street for similar styles, and has swooped upon this lovely new peep-toe from Karen Millen.
The Karen Millen shoe is, if anything, a little more sparkly and embellished than the Choo edition, but this is very much in keeping with the season's obsession with sparkle: a more grown-up alternative to lashings of coarse-grain glitter! We love the slender heels, which are a good copy of Kershaw's stiletto perfection, and the lace mesh 'waves' are beautiful.
Pineapple, the original ultra-trendy dance studio in London has long had its range of sloppy sportswear and shoes, but we've not spotted these rather visually interesting trainers before now. Absolutely oozing bling, and not for the more subtle sportswoman, they are fashioned around the hi-top style popular in the 80s, and come in a selection of eye-popping colours.
What's fun about these shoes is the way the side panels have been incorporated into a cute little loveheart motif, and we love the polka-dot laces, too. Could spots shoes possibly get any more girly? Well actually they could: check out the pink version for an even more feminine take on the trainer.
