Thank god for bloggers! Jak & Jil (one of my favourites) has posted a preview of the Nicholas Kirkwood Spring/Summer 2010 collection. These brightly coloured pop art style booties are pure shoe eye candy. In vivd colours including hot red, green and blue, they are flecked in white and gold, and feature Kirkwood's signature protruding platform. I also hear that he has flats planned for next S/S season. So... what do you make of this sneak peek? Tell us below.

If you like broguing, but don't want to go for the full-on, boyfriend-style loafer approach then a pair of pumps with a smart two-tone pattern can be the perfect look for you. It's a look that Moschino Cheap & Chic do particularly well, and I can imagine these black and cream pumps being a fabulously versatile wardrobe addition.
Seen close-up, it's possible to make out that the 'brogue' element of the shoes is actually made up of gold eyelets, set next to a bevelled-edge of cream leather - I love this effect, and think it makes the shoes even more on trend.
£335 at Harvey Nichols

Dorothy Perkins have really been upping their game recently, and look set to exceed their fellow Arcadians, Topshop and Miss Selfridge, in the shoe department. Gemma Cartwright from Big Girls Browse recently wrote about the new 'Luxe' range Dorothy Perkins will be launching and I couldn't resist a peek. The range, named after the world's top jet-set places, features a gorgeous mixture of zip details, bright colours, and luxurious fabrics.
I have to admit, I'm a little bit in love too.
There are a fair few styles, Cannes, New York, Hollywood, Marbella, Paris and the prices are pretty reasonable too at £55-£65.

Is Karl Lagerfeld bringing back the clog? It appears so.
At the Chanel S/S 2010 show in Paris on Tuesday, Lagerfeld got a little bit country by erecting a giant haystack in the middle of the runway for his models to strut their stuff around.
They didn't wear wellies either. Instead, the designer added a touch of Dutch courage by presenting a collection of high-heeled clogs.
Embellished with brooches and studs, the wooden-heeled clogs provided the necessary rustic element to a rural-inspired collection. Yee-haw!

ASOS have really pulled out all the stops here, creating possibly the trendiest party shoe available to buy at the £50 mark at the moment.
Completely covered in suede with stud-decorated bows, you really can't go too far wrong with these shoes. The taupe variant create a different, far more muted effect, but I'd love to see the contrast they'd create on some thick, black stockings. Although it's brand new this week, I see this style being popular, so snap them up while you can.

This style has been around for a while at Office now, but I think it would work pretty well this season, especially since it has a bit of an Art Deco vibe about it.
If you like it, and happen to be a size 3, 4 or 8 then you're in luck, because Office are selling it off at £20 (reduced from £65) along with other fun party heels like Jeez Louise (also 20 quid). If you're not any of those sizes, I'm sorry to say you might have to live without, because this is the final stock they've got. But it's rare to get so many 'leftovers' in a 4, so I thought it was worth the heads-up!
We've been getting so excited about House of Holland's legwear lately that it's easy to overlook the other developmemts going on in Henry Holland's growing empire, namely some rather fascinating shoes!
Wedge-style heels aren't to everybody's taste, and I certainly find the slope at the back of these shoes a bit vertiginous. But I do like the colour, which is a shade of raspberry red we don't often see in footwear. Best of all is the grey metallic strip around the heel and the counter (that's the bit that touches the actual heel on your body, fact fans!) which is a reflective honeycomb pattern when seen close up.
£350 at Browns
