End of season clearance usually spells horror for me. I used to be a total sale junkie, but now I find no inspiration from the dregs of past season. Call me a snob, but it's often a futile endeavour. My saving grace while trawling the Net-a-Porter clearance stock, however, came in the form of these pretty wedges from Stella McCartney.
These are very gorgeous, a perfect pair of wedges. They won't suffer too much from season crossover either thanks to the monochrome colours. Designer shoes always come at a price, and the sale doesn't make too sizeable a dent unfortunately. This pair can be yours for £220.50.

The autumn collections are almost in, the sales racks are looking bare, and if you want to grab yourself a bargain, you're probably going to have a long, hard hunt on your hands. Or you would have, had we not done the hunting for you. Here are five pairs of shoes you can buy now for £25 and under, starting off with these 'Mindy' slingbacks from Oasis. With their cute, perforated bow and simple silver slingback, I'm not quite sure how these made it to the sales rack., They're still available in sizes 3 and 4 - stash them away for next summer!

We featured the raspberry suede Lunetta’s from Lulu Guinness back in June and I absolutely fell in love with them. But love is fickle and now I’m lusting after… the Lunetta’s in black and white! It’s like fancying your boyfriend’s better looking brother, but in this case you can have them both because each pair is on sale for £97.50 (that’s half price, people) in the Panache Shoes sale. Two Lulu’s for the price of one – my life is complete.

In recent years I’ve moved away from cutsie accessories and shoes, in an attempt to become more stylish and, well, grown up, but then a cute little pair of shoes come along and blow all my good intentions out of the water. This is the Blythe First Prom shoe from Irregular Choice and they are in the sale down from £53.75 to £35. That’s a double whammy, how can I resist pink polka dots and a bargain? They do have the strange doll face on the front, which we’ve mentioned before to mixed reactions from Shoewawa readers, but personally I like the scary doll and think this pair of shoes would look great with a pair of jeans and smart shirt.

There's not many print shoes I can say I love, but for some reason fruity patterns do it for me. There's something a lot more quirky about my apple covered pumps than flowery courts to me. That's why these Cherry Print peep toes from Red Herring caught my eye.
A perfect summery shoe for evenings, the black really makes sure the print grabs your eye, and the somewhat twee bow just seems to fit with the whole shoe. Hardly the most sophistacated thing you'll put on your feet, but it might just be the cutest. Get yours at Debenhams for just £11 in the sale.

Showing you Chie Mihara's 'Bimi' high strap sandal now probably isn't very seasonally accurate so late in the summer, but personally I think the purple colour of these heels is far more autumnal than summery anyway. They're fairly pricey at £165 but because they have a 'pink ticket', they come with a gift to the customer (i.e. a reduction of £20 to £145) which is such a cute way to announce reduced items in the summer sale.
How would you make the 'Bimi' sandals work during the autumn, and what would you pair them with?

How cute is this shoe! The perforated leather (which makes it look all polka dotty) sits on a pretty conical heel and there’s a leather rose on the ankle strap. The ‘Belinda’ black from Chie Mihara is currently on sale at £111.30, down from £159, and I want it. I really, really want it. It looks like the kind of shoe to go dancing in – and I don’t mean out nightclubbing, I’m talking tangoing the night away with a very sexy fella. Not that I’ve ever danced the tango, mind, but if I had this shoe I definitely would.
