Diamante element and studs seem to be a bit interchangeable this season, as both are tiny, but appearing in abundance on our shoes and accessories. I like it this way, and think they can be a great asset to an evening outfit if used sparingly and on one item only.
Take these t-bar sandals from Redherring, for example. The sparkly panel at the front would provide all the glamour you need in your outfit, and would turn an average LBD into one part of a great party ensemble. Best of all, these shoes are a steal!
This is one of those product images that really doesn't do the actual shoe any justice. It's not until you see this Chelsea Court from Peacocks in the pink version that you notice how interesting the cut and shape of it really is.
The shoe is cut away deeper at the heel than at the front of the shoe, creating an asymmetrical look.
Like them? You can buy them direct from Peacocks online for just £20.
Feathers on shoes are not a design featutre I've ever really warmed to, I have to admit. Feathers on clothing, yes, in small doses. Feathers on hats, hell yes. But the one place feathers should never be seen is on the feet. Even birds don't have feathers on their feet, and to wear them on a human foot is an abomination.
No shoe has ever illustrated that point to me quite as luridly as this odd creation from ASOS Black, however. The fluffy embellishments on these courts look far more like manky chicken feathers than stylish plumes, and it all reminds me of a bad easter bonnet. Do Not Want!
We've been hearing whisperings about the kitten heel coming back for months, but to be honest I've never quite taken the rumours seriously. The style has been in exile for many years, and surely it time for the demi heel to claw its way back into fashion so soon after it was cast aside.
But proof has materialised over at Net-a-Porter in the most undeniable form imaginable: on the bottom of a Louboutin shoe. Yes, Christian himself has allowed himself to be distracted from his usual, more robust heels and has brought out a whole range of kitten styles, including this one that's already sold out. What do you think?
Karen Millen is one high street brand that always punches well above its weight in terms of innovative design, but it seems to be giving Aruna Seth a run for its money with these opulent Swarovski-decorated peep-toe heels. How fabulous are they? The heel is covered in the sparkling elements, while the uppers are made from a beautiful and highly matchable pale pink satin.
These shoes have now gone straight to the top of Ms Shoewawa's list for most-wanted party-season shoes, and with a couple of months left to go, saving up could still be an option. You shall go to the ball!
I may be on my own here, but I think these chunky penny loafers by KG at Kurt Geiger are actually rather wonderful. A thick, luxuriant tassel always adds charm and the midnight blue suede used here is just gorgeous.
Admittedly they are basically loafers, but they incorporate a block heel that's both hugely fashionable and uncommonly comfortable. I can't wait to get my feet (and newly selected autumn tights!) into these beauties in a few weeks' time...
The giant scale animal print on these substantial courts by Karen Millen has really grabbed our attention today, and we're thinking this could be just the sort of fun statement piece that's needed to brighten up the more sombre clothing colour palate this autumn.
There's something cute and almost friendly about the look of the shoes, and the way the pattern continues around the heels is a great touch.
