I know the picture of these shoes is really small, so if you like them you may want to pay a visit to the Oasis website, where you can use the 'zoom' function to have a better look at them, but having already done that, I think these are ideal party flats, for those occasions when you just know those spindly stilettos are going to leave your feet in shreds by the end of the night, but you still want to wear something a bit glamorous. Best of all, these have just been reduced to £15 in the Oasis sale, although, oddly, the silver version is still full-price, at £30.

I know it's not the season for boots, and I also know that when it is that season, there are lots of reasons why someone might need a sturdy, warm boot - maybe even a fur-lined one. What I don't know is why these boots have to be so to be so very ugly. Yes, I know they're probably very practical (although, for $20 I'd have to question how hard-wearing they might be), but as I never tire of pointing out, there are lots of practical, comfortable, warm shoes and boots out there that aren't ugly.
If you can't find any, though, and you really want these ones instead, you can buy them at Go Jane,

It might be the height of summer but Autumn shoes are already making their way on to the internet and if they're all as gorgeous as these Bottega Veneta boots from Browns (£490) then I'm willing to forget what season it is.
They have a Victorian feel without being too Miss Marple-y and the curved heel adds to the modern vibe. I love the cutouts, and would have immense fun teaming them with lacy or bright woolly tights come the winter months.

These new boots from Office don't particularly make me think of Lewis Carroll's heroine, but I do like the contemporary take on Victoriana, achieved in this case by using space-age style shimmery leather to inject new life into a classic boot shape. If you view the boot up close, you'll also make out a delicate fan-like pattern punched into the uppers.
For those who prefer a darker shade of boot, 'Alice' is also available in black, with a leather and suede contrast. Both versions are £85

Hopefully the weather where you are is too nice for you to even think about wearing a pair of suede boots right now, but it's not to nice for Net-a-Porter not to be selling them, and it's not too nice for me to want to see what you can up with to wear with them, either.
These ones are by Christian Louboutin and will cost you £430. Playing the shoe stylist is free, though, so click here to read the rules and then let's see what kind of outfit you'd wear with these babies! As always, entries should be with us by 9am GMT on Tuesday to be included in our roundup.

Don't these Dolce Vita Beatrice pumps look utterly decadent? The striped piping detail contrasts beautifully against the ivory coloured silk. Finished off with a round tow and silk lace up bow detail, they're definitely a shoe for a girl who's looking to be lady-like for a day. Made from 100% silk with a cushioned footbed, they're a really good pick up for just $135 from Piperlime.

There is something about bows, when I see them adorning shoes I can't help but start ohh-ing and ahh-ing over them like I'm 3 years old again and these Marc by Marc Jacobs Triple-Bow Booties had me doing just that. Often known for their cute and quirky accessories, Marc by Marc Jacobs features 3 adorable bows across the foot with a contrasting 4" stacked heel. So cute, but for $535 I think I'll have to wait until they go on sale.
