DAY Birger et Mikkelsen tube leather sandals

tubesandals.jpg

These DAY Birger et Mikkelsen sandals are not only possibly the cheapest you'll ever see on Net-a-Porter, but are super cute to boot! They would look perfectly at home strolling along a beach in Thailand, Brazil or Fiji but equally stylish for summer-in-the-city wear too. I can imagine pairing them with pretty much my entire wardrobe - from denim cutoff shorts, to pretty floral skirts and dresses and 7/8 jeans. With the sole made from leather, beaded decoration and cotton ankle ties, for £60 they're a steal!

Yves Saint Laurent green satin Tribute heels

ysl-tribute-grrensatin.jpg Designers are great at re-inventing the wheel so to speak, and YSL have done it again with the Tribute heel. Revamping it to the point that the only thing that is the same as the original, is the platform heel and the cross-ankle strap. Not that I'm complaining, this YSL green satin Tribute heel with patent trim is actually quite adorable, bordering on cool in fact. I love the constrating green and black patent leather, you don't see many green shoes around in a colour that doesn't look like nature got blended up in a blender and poured over mulch, while the patent leather gives it a nice contrast, especially with the cut out detail. Another thing to love? BlueFly have taken $150 off the retail price, they're now $600 down from $750. If only they were marked down by $600...

Miu Miu's diamond patchwork pumps

miu-miu-diamond-patchwork-p.jpgThere was much love for Miu Miu's cut-out harlequin booties when we featured them on Yay or Nay a few weeks back, so here's what I think is a more wearable version of the same design. These pumps use that harlequin style diamond pattern, and the same diamond cut-outs around the ankle, but miss out the ankle strap and "bootie" features of the other pair. What you're left with is a much simpler shoe which is no less striking, and if you loved the booties, you'll probably love these too, in which case you'll want to know that you can buy them for £345 from Net-a-Porter.

Balenciaga pink satin multicolor floral printed sandals

balenciaga-pinksatinfloralsan.jpg It's been a while since I've seen Balenciaga shoes that weren't gladiator boots (and seen on Mary-Kate Olsen) or rather outrageous. These Balenciaga pink satin multicolor floral printed sandals definitely don't fit into the previous two categories but do go with Balenciaga's spring 2008 floral theme. Bright, colourful and complete with chunky heel, these shoes just seem to hark back to the 1990s, which is rather scary because I really hoped I would never see those kinds of shoes again. They're not a must-buy for me, but it could be interesting to see if anyone does wear them. Love them? They've been marked down from $725 to $580 at BlueFly.

Not So Casual Friday: Nude satin Kasirai shoes by Pedro Garcia

nude-satin-shoes.jpgThis is yet another example of a shoe that's simple yet oh-so very gorgeous! It's Pedro Garcia's 'Kasirai' shoe, which comes in this glorious nude coloured satin. In this picture, the front of the shoe looks like it's sticking out rather a lot, but they look fine on the mannequin, so I suspect they'll also look good on a foot! Overall a very classy shoe in a colour that will be very versatile. They're £185 at My-Wardrobe.

Play the Shoe Stylist: Valentino's patent polka dot slingbacks

valentino-polka-dot-shoes.jpgWe have a rather bold little shoe for you to play stylist with this week. This is Valentino's polka dot slingback, and while the style of the shoe has nothing outlandish about it, those oversized polka dots are certainly not for shy and retiring types!

As ever, all you have to do is put together an outfit to wear with these shoes, and have it with us by 9am on Tuesday morning. You'll find the rules here, if you've never played before, and if you check back on Tuesday afternoon, you'll be able to see what your fellow shoe stylists came up with!

Prada's Decollete wavy-stripe pumps

prada-wavy-shoes.jpgWhile I'm not particularly keen on many of Prada's recent "wavy" shoes, I'm making an exception for these ones. The blend of beige and tan would have put these in my good books anyway, but the wave design around the foot is really stunning on this shoe, turning an ordinary court into something that makes you sit up and take notice. These would be good for work, but would also work well on the weekend with some of the cream and tan safari-style fashions we've been seeing around lately. They're not cheap at $595, but they certainly look expensive, so you may well decide they're worth it.
