Hurrah, it's Friday! Let celebrate by having a nosy on some other shoe blogs.
These summery and ladylike peep-toe heels from Dune caught our eye in the shop's summer sale, which currently has some cute items at reasonable reductions. We love the use of ribbon here to create a cheery, colourful effect.
They're also available in a more 'carnival colour' combination, with yellow, pink, green and blue ribbons, but we think this pair would be much easier to match with the season's nautical shades.
£56 (was £80) at Dune
We've been singing the praises of black and red rather a lot recently, so in association with our sister site The Bag Lady, here are a few items we've spotted that seem to back up our claim that this is the best colour combination ever!
Top left, is the seriously silly 'Ugly Monster' coin purse from See by Chloe Accessories. Surprisingly, despite being from a high end designer label, it comes in at just £30, making it a great idea for a gift. Buy it at Liberty.
Top right, these cute bow detail heels look just fab with their contrasting colours and super skinny heel. They're £25 at New Look
Bottom right, these smart retro-style sunglasses with black and red trim are just £14 from Very.co.uk
The heart-shaped red studs (also available in black!) come as part of a set with a chunky matching ring, and cost £2.50 at New Look
If you've been holding off buying any shoes earlier on this year (unlikely for Shoewawa readers, I know) now really does seem to be the time to cash in your chips, as the sales just keep getting better and better, with styles we've loved cropping up left right and centre.
This 'Stingray' style is one that we spotted and considered buying while it was still full price, so it's nice to see that the price has gone down to just £23 for this black and grey version and £40 for its very pretty blue and taupe sister (both were £80). Thanks ASOS!

Sometimes, I see a sale that gets me so excited I almost don't want to share. But in my duty as a bringer of the shoe love to all the other footwear fanatics on the internet, I feel it is my duty to mention this one, even though I'm saving up to buy a pair when they could sell out. Oh, the horror!
These beautiful t-bar shoes by Chie Mihara have been on Shoewawa's radar for ages, and they usually retail for well over £20. Here they are reduced by 50%, and oh so very tempting. The pic on the right is the same pair in taupe, worn in promotional material by one of our favourite Etsy sellers, Bagatelles & Co, which really illustrates how pretty these shoes are - it's the reflection of the light on the shiny discs that really makes them.
Tempted?
£117.50 (was £234.99) at Jules B
Miss Selfridge have jumped on the floral bandwagon with gusto, embracing pretty floral tea dresses, floral corsages and, as beautifully demonstrated on the left, vintage floral heels.
These platform heels have more than a whiff of 70s chic about them. The chunky heel balances out the oversized bow that adorns several of their current styles.
The style also comes in a black and white polka dot pattern, and both styles are a bargain at £49.

Before I saw people actually out and about in this Miu Miu style, I wasn't entirely sure what to make of it. Yes, the kitty print is cute and instantly recognisable, but those heels are super clonky, and the look could get tired after a while. So it's a surprise to see it out on the red pink carpet here, still looking utterly fab.
The shoes themselves are owned by a celeb who loves dressing up almost as much as she enjoys *ahem* dressing down, so she's no stranger to putting on the glam. But who is it?
