In a change from all of the sandals and wedges that herald in the summer season, here's a pair of shoes by Le Stilla that you'll still be wearing this winter. These square toed pumps look super-expensive -probably because, at $630, they are - but they also look like the kind of high quality shoe that'll last for a long time, if you look after them. The square toe is on-trend right now, but the bow on the side softens them up, as does the delicate high heel. Get them from Saks Fifth Avenue.

I admit it: when Natalie Portman's shoe line for Te Casan was first launched, it didn't exactly blow me away. Oh, the shoes were nice, but there was nothing to really make me sit up and take notice - until now. These 'Plath' pumps come in pink, purple and black, and I think it's the beautiful colours that draws me to them. Pom poms on a shoe would normally make me run for cover, screaming, "Clowns are coming! Clowns are coming!" but I think I could live with these ones, especially when the rest of the shoe is so appealing. These are $395 and available from Te Casan direct.

Gwyneth Paltrow has really been giving her wardrobe a rev up on the promo trail for her new movie, Iron Man. While her new 'do might have been a talking point and all those mini dresses have certainly gathered the column inches, it was her skyscraper-high heels which have really taken centre stage.
In fact, such has been the impact of her recent stiletto antics, sales of uber-high heels have apparently shot up by 35% at Selfridges in the last week. Particularly in demand are the Alexander McQueen Languid court shoes (pictured above), with their square toe and cigarette heel, which she wore to the London premiere last week.

We see an awful lot of shoes with bows on them these days, which is probably why Christain Louboutin decided to do something a little different, without leaving the bow behind entirely. His Very Noeud Slingbacks, then, still fall into the category of "bow front shoes", but these bows are all one-sided, as can be seen to best effect when you look at the shoe from above. The slim stiletto heels are still there, and so are the famous red soles, but the floppy bow is what makes these shoes so eye-catching. What do you think of them?

If Kermit wore Louboutins, these Privatita slingbacks (£420) would be the perfect shoe. But in reality, since it's actually um, me that would have to wear them and not a frog puppet, I'm not so sure I could pull this colour off the same way Kermy would.
The slingback/ankle strap design is beyond beautiful, but I can't imagine the neon green looking great against my fair skin. Probably a different story if you had the sunkissed limbs of Adriana Lima... Either way, these shoes would definitely put a zing of zany colour into any spring outfit!

I have been on the look out for classic looking tan leather sandals for years, usually I settle and get something cheap and more trendy. But when I saw these Burberry Prorsum leather sandals I knew they were the one. They're a chic flat version of the 1950s style strappy sandals, complete with ankle straps. I love how the criss-crossing straps across the toes have been finished off with a nice brass buckle and show off your 'toe cleavage'. I also love the double ankle straps which compliment the toe straps while the cut of the shoe is so chic they would look great with jeans, shorts or a dress. Question is, can I justify the £275 price tag?

Here at Shoewawa, we love Mary Janes so much that we gave them their own day. Dior, on the other hand, loved Mary Janes so much that they completely revamped them, creating a shoe that's about as far removed from the classic, single strap Mary Jane as it's possible to get. These come with three buttoned straps, a banana shaped heel complete with cut-out detail, and more cut-outs on the vamp. They're made of soft leather and cost $1,090 from Neiman Marcus. What do you think of them, though? Would you buy them, or do you prefer your Mary Janes more classic?
