I love the idea of Christian Louboutin heels, their sexy and very popular. But what deters me from thinking of buying them is that the shoes are often very high or flat. What about the middle ground? Then Christian Louboutin released these Mauresmo chiffon slingbacks with a reasonable 3" heel. The violet purple satin is bold and would pop out any one whether you're wearing black, white or just jeans. Love them, I would totally add them to my collection if I had a few hundred pounds spare ;)
Details on shoes is not an uncommon thing these days, but I think the detail on these Miu Miu kitten heel pumps is a little too much. I'm loving the cluster of jewels but what is that fluffy tutu-like material around them? I think they distract the viewer from what is a rather chic shoe with a small 1 ½ stacked kitten heel and soft anthracite coloured nappa leather. So in my book, it's not worth its $452 price tag - even if it is Miu Miu.

Zappos Couture claim that "you can't get any more feminine" than these Giuseppe Zanotti peep toes. Well, I'm not sure that's true, but they're certainly very pretty, with their crystal floral detail on the vamp, and the white pearlised leather looks cute too, with a black trim around the edges to stop it looking too bridal. These also have a luxurious satin footbed - which is exactly what I'd expect for $754!

How are your walking skills when it comes to 4 ½" heels? Think you can perch gracefully on a heel that is basically as wide as a chopstick? If you think you've got the high heel prowess then here's a pair of fierce shoes for you. Roger Vivier's black satin rosette platform sandals will have you tottering around in style thanks to the pretty black satin strap across the toe. The satin has been ruched to create a soft rosette which makes this shoe a nice and chic evening shoe that not many people will have. Probably because even though BlueFly have marked it down down the RRP of $1,050 to $840, it's not exactly affordable is it?

Trust Chloe to release shoes that are bold and elegant. It's not an easy task as most shoes these days are bold and only for the daring, or bold and downright questionable. But these Chloe satin sandals with elastic straps remind of the timeless versatility of a Herve Leger bandage dress. These red satin shoes will have you standing out in any crowd while the 3.5" heel is sturdy enough to keep you balanced for the most part. They're retail at £248 on Net-A-Porter, which isn't too expensive considering how much Chloe heels can go for and while I love the straps in this photo, but my guess is that they've been airbrushed a little to achieve that flawless finish. But just imagine how hot they would look with some dark denim straight leg jeans.

When you were young, did you have a pair of fun Barbie heels you would stomp around the house in? If you did, do these Betseyville by Betsey Johnson canvas sandals remind of you the whimsical fun of the Barbie heels from your tween days? The canvas straps feature cute candy print and are finished off with a pastel coloured block across the toe. The shoes are utterly adorable but how versatile are they for every day wear? Mind you if you want to pay $90 for the fun of reminiscing about your younger days, I promise I won't judge!

Chunky heels have really made a comeback in the least season or two, and now Marc by Marc Jacobs have added stripes to their chunky heeled shoes. A few of their spring summer 2008/09 shoes feature striped heels and I must admit the look intrigues me, especially paired with patent leather straps. If you're not willing to pay £275 for these Marc by Marc Jacobs brown patent leather sandals, there is always Salvador Sapena's Patent Striped Block Heel Sandals. They feature black patent leather straps and retail for half the price at £110.
Would you do striped block heeled shoes?
