Burberry Prorsum ultra high platform sandals

prorsum_platformpatentsandal.jpgLooking for a bit of a height boost of about 6 inches? Because this will definitely give you the extra height you crave if you're any good at walking around in sky high heels. Not only are these shoes tall, they're also very shiny and sexy. Made from 100% patent leather this shoe will hold your foot in place with fine ankle straps and straps across the toes. While skyscraper heels and patent leather can look really cheap and nasty, these are actually quite edgy as they're not 100% black and it is Burberry Prorsum after all. For girls looking for stilts, these sexy platform sandals will set you back £395 - ouch!

Christian Louboutin Privatita painted python sandal

louboutin_snakeskin.jpg

I must be going through a Christian Louboutin fixation at the mo - every time I go looking for a non-Louboutin shoe to write about, there's another lovely Lou staring me in the face. And you know as well as I do, they're so hard to resist!
I guess that's why I'm sitting here writing about this Privatita sandal, a style of which I wrote about only last week but in the fluro green colour!

The multicolour painted python in this version is so exquisite though, I simply cannot ignore them. The bronze metallic heel and platform really add a hint of glam and ensure this is the ultimate summer shoe. They come at a price though - $1095 from Neiman Marcus.

Costume National high heeled pumps in grey and green

costime-national-high-heels.jpgI'm always fascinated by the way little details can make such a big difference to a shoe. These Costume National pumps, for instance, have a heel that continues up the shoe just a little higher than normal, but the effect is of a heel that looks impossibly high. It's actually 4", which, although high enough, isn't out of the ordinary. As a high heel fan, I love the skyscraper effect, and the grey/green mix is appealing, too. These are $604 at Zappos.

Black patent pumps with cutouts by Eley Kishimoto

eley-black-pumps.jpgBlack pumps can be boring, but when the black pumps in question are by Eley Kishimoto, you don't have to worry about that. These ones come in patent leather, with a round ornament on the toe and a cute little "bow tie" shaped cut on the vamp. The bright pink insole, of course, won't actually be seen when you're wearing them, but it makes them nice to look at when you're not! These would make great, unusual work shoes, and they also come in white, if you're feeling more adventurous - and have a suitable outfit to wear with a pair of white patent shoes. They're $332 at Zappos.

Christian Louboutin Sometimes shoe boots

louboutin_sometimes.jpg

Looking a bit like a gladiator heel, these Sometimes peep toe shoe boots by Christian Louboutin (£430) are just begging to be popped on your feet and then paraded around to admiring glances.

Made from gorgeously soft nappa leather, they manage to combine a trendy lace-up style with cutouts on both sides and a classic slingback design.

The stiletto heel is 120mm and when you combine it with the 20mm hidden platform that is some serious height! Great for doing the "toughening up" thing for spring, but come winter, you'll keep them trucking on with a pair of tights. You can get your Louboutin fix at Net-a-Porter.

Stella McCartney Beaded strappy sandals

stellabeaded30824_in_l.jpg When I first saw these heels I was thinking "these sandals are STELLA MCCARTNEY?" And to my utter surprise they were, even though they didn't seem as women-friendly and fabulous as her vegan clothes usually are season after season. There is something childlike about the primary colours chosen, and then a little porn-star in the shape of the platform don't you think? Those details aside, the tribal beading is very intricate fitting with summer's tribal theme without going down the safari path, but the thing is the shoes may stand out but they will most likely go out next season.

Beige platform sandals by Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti

beige-platform-sandals.jpgI'm really enjoying the current trend for sandals like these ones, which are high and strappy, but with none of the "girliness" normally associated with high, strappy sandals! They're by Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, and doesn't that beige leather look gorgeous? The grossgrain straps help toughen them up just a little, and I think they'd be the perfect way to balance out a floaty summer dress. They're £240 at My-Wardrobe, who point out that the slightly sporty look will make it easy to wear these during the day as well as in the evening.
