There's something very 'Alice in Wonderland' about these stripy-heeled pumps from Fendi, which makes them particularly hot stuff right now. We think they're cool bananas whenever you want to wear them though, and the gold monogram on the heel is just lovely. What a great way to dress up an otherwise ordinary pair of patent pumps!

Once again, wedges are big enough that designers can use them as a blank canvas for all manner of wonderful flights of fantasy. It's one of those trends you can easily see going horribly wrong (think jelly-bean print, or goldfish), but Bottega Veneta has done well here to incorporate a look it's already putting to excellent use in its bags: colourful weaving.
The black and red combination used here is extremely tasteful, and turns what would otherwise be a wearable-but-unremarkable pair of shoes into something that's almost deserving of that hefty price-tag.

You'd think that Balenciaga might be starting to run out of insane-but-it-looks-amazing footwear ideas, but you'd be wrong: this season's runway shows have brought yet more visual delights that are once again set to inspire.
Incorporating 'normal' leather shoes that are really quite something in their own right. Balenciaga has put its stamp on these styles by the addition of industrial-style brackets, which the more familiar shoe-bits slot into. The choice of colours is spectacular, and once again Balenciaga has brought something really special to existing trends.
The BAFTA Awards saw many stars parade across the red carpet, some to make their way home clutcing trophies, and others with no more than a couple of glasses of champers to make up for their losses. Here at Shoewawa we're more interested in their footwear than their acting ability and have found three rather lovely styles for you to drool over.
The black sandals were clearly a safe classic bet, as the straps make them comfortable for dancing all night long. We were loving the high strappy white pair though as they had a very angelic element to them, and the platform sole adds heigh without discomfort. My favourite would have to be the two tone red pair, as I loved the contrast between the orange and the red and find the style to be playful as well as high fashion.
The heels above belong to (in no particular order) Audrey Tatou, Kate Winslet and Kristen Stewart, but can you work out who wore which pair?

What with London Fashion Week kicking off today, it would have been rude not to feature something a little more special than trainers, so here's one of our favourite styles from Miu Miu.
Completely covered in the sort of thick, industrial strength glitter that will never come off on your tights, these shoes are strictly intended for those who appreciate heavy glamour. Thick, five-and-a-half inch heels augmented by a 1-inch exposed platform will have you feeling like a runway model as you strut your way to stardom.

Raphael Young isn't a name we see a lot here in the UK, but since New York Fashion Week is now in full swing, I thought I'd have a closer look at what's going on across the pond.
Young's Spring/Summer collection is of interest because I think it really sums up what's going to be hot in the coming season. There's a big emphasis on contrast, with lots of classically 'summery' markers, like cork and wood, offset by darker, more wintry trends, like black patent and metallic leather. Could this be the effect of climate change in action!? Our seasons have got a bit vague now, and so has what we wear...

We love that black is going to be an acceptable shade to wear this summer, and we love its use in these unique 'Becca' wedges, new from Tabitha Simmonds. The sloping heel is a difficult look to pull off, but I think this style really makes it work. Simmons is a relatively new designer to our radar, but she really seems to be riding the Zeitgeist just now.
The uppers on these shoes are made from canvas, which gives them that laid back holidayish feel, despite the prim little bow-tie decorations on the front. These could work just as well with jeans as with a tailored, linen look. Seriously chic!
