Just the thing to add a little Elle MacPherson soignée chic to your wardrobe these flat sandals from Browns are the perfect preppy shade of tan. The braiding adds a nice bit of textural interest without being too fuddy duddy and they would make even the most floaty floral dress smart enough for the office. They're by Christian Louboutin and will set you back £460.

Polka dots. Peep toes. Bows. It's all of my very favourite things, brought together in the same shoe, and they've even made them in this season's nautical navy, too! The shoe in question is Topshop's 'Vanessa' , and for a casual shoe made out of cotton, I think these are gorgeous. The small wedge heel means that they'll be more comfortable than flats or heels, and there's a bit of pin-up-girl glamour to them that you don't often see in so casual a shoe. They're £15, and you can also buy them in grey, green and red.

Yippee! By the looks of it, summer is basically here and my poor feet couldn't be happier. No longer will they have to be stuffed into boots, where they've been sadly neglected all winter, but are now free to bathe in the sunlight (which reminds me, I must sort out that pedicure...)
These sandals from ASOS will be my trusty summer standby (aside from my Havaianas of course), and my happy feet can't wait to get acquainted with them, let me tell you! Made from real leather with metal trim and two large decorative stones, they're a pretty great deal at only £35.

More interesting than a ballet flat and more versatile than a brogue these red and white shoes have it all. They will be a cute and comfy constant companion over the summer, bringing a subtle dose of masculinity to floaty dresses and skirts and pepping up jeans.
They're $30 from Upside Dive and will stand out from the slew of high street brogues about at the moement. I just wish my feet were a size smaller!

If you really love your shoes, then I'm guessing the last thing you'd want to buy would be a shoe that makes you look like you're not actually wearing any, but if that sounds like a good idea to you, check out these strapless sandals. At first I assumed that these must have clear straps to keep them on your feet, but no - they actually use some kind of "foot adhesive" to keep what is essentially just a sole stuck to your feet. The manufacturers point out that this will make them the ideal footwear for those who don't want tan lines from their straps, and I can't argue with that, but would you actually wear them?

Looking glamourous is hard work, sometimes you just want to slob around in jeans and pumps but you have to look smart. French Connection's 'Din' sandal (£55) is thankfully flat but doesn't skimp on the glam. The snakeskin effect is enlivened with gold and the adjustable straps will add to the comfort factor.
Team them with slim-cut charcoal 7/8 trousers and a fine jersey top for a classy but relaxed look.

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?
