They might well be the most expensive pair of trainers you'll ever encounter, but even if you still wanted a pair of the Kanye West-designed kicks from Louis Vuitton, the bad news my friend, is you can't. They were on the shelves for a day and they've already sold out! Well, that's the gist of the story anyway...
The Cut blog reckons there has been a waiting list since January, and since they closed that, they have been taking names for a wish list. Which would mean no shoes were ever going to hit the shop floor. Oh well, they're still good to look at and If It's Hip, It's Here has allllll the pics, so head on over there and knock yourself out!

All this sunshine we've been having this week has been making me long for the weekend like never before - and for a yummy cocktail to be planted firmly in my hand as I take in the views on one of London's lovely rooftop bars.
What I'll need on my feet however, is a pair of shoes that are equally glam, and will lift my spirit as equally as the glorious sunshine has. I believe these geometric gem T-bar sandals by DSquared will fit that bill extremely well. And then I can focus all my attention on deciding which cocktail I'd like to try first... Ahh decisions, decisions! They are on sale now for $831 at Zappos Couture.

If I were to dream up the perfect summer shoe, I think I would come up with something very much along the lines of this espadrille design by Castañer. They just look so... fresh. And comfortable. And beach-like. Remind me again why I'm sitting in an office sweltering in the heat rather than sitting on a beach somewhere wearing these shoes?!
The colour and material combination of the blue fabric cross-over, brown leather ankle strap and straw wedge heel make these slightly nautical, slightly preppy and very classic. I see myself wearing these for many summers ahead! They have 30% off right now at My-Wardrobe and come in at a pretty reasonable £92.

So Glastonbury has been and gone, but there are still some UK festivals coming up in the near future (Bestival, Reading, Leeds and the V Festivals to name just a few). Which means, even though right now we're in the middle of a heatwave (ooh, I just love saying that), the potential for a festival mud bath is still very real. And when festival mud baths are on the horizon, you will still be needing some good old wellies to get you through.
We showed you personalised wellies and we showed you colourful wellies, and now we've got some more designer boots for you to either lust over and then close the window regretfully, or lust over and then just bite the bullet and purchase them. These Burberry gumboots have a glossy shine finish and are embellished with a gold chain trim for a very "glamorous-down-on-the-farm" look. If that's the look you're after this festival season, you can pick them up from Net-a-Porter for £225.

I'm slightly obsessed with studded things lately. It's one of those trends I've fully bought into, and if I could I would buy into these Fendi ankle boots in a millisecond.
Of course, they look fully impractical and I'd fall over within moments of putting them on (5 inch heels are not my friend) but who cares?! Not me! That huge platform adds a touch of S&M and the small gold studs top off the tough-but-sexy effect.
They're made of leather and calf hair, and are available from Net-A-Porter for £640.

Hands up who doesn't like bows? Yes, that's what I thought. Nobody. Well, that might be a slight exaggeration, but, for the most part, people really like bows don't they? So you can bet that most of these bow-lovers would do a double take when they saw these 'Gracious' heels by Kate Spade.
Aside from the pretty bow, they are a very elegant shade of eggplant purple and have a classic ankle strap and thin stiletto heel - perfect for a glam evening out. You can pick them up at Zappos Couture for $329.

In my seemingly never-ending quest for the perfect summer sandals, I have managed to uncover a gem (ha!) in these Diego Dolcini Swarovski crystal flats. They're sparkly without being at all garish, and with my Ibiza holiday looming, they're the perfect sandals for teaming with a pretty maxi dress and soaking up the sunset at Cafe Del Mar.
With a leather upper and an ankle strap with side buckle, they are not only pretty but practical too. If you're as much of a fan as me, you'll be pleased to know they have 50% off right now and are down to £304 at Farfetch.
