Recently, I've noticed that online store Oli have really upped their game in the footwear department. I've fallen in love with, and added to my imaginary shopping cart, several of the shoe styles at the moment. Most of the range looks fresh from the catwalk.
I love every single inch of these Poetic Licence Fan Ribbon Tie Court. The bow detail is delicate, ending in the heart details which Poetic Licence are becoming known for. The fan edges give a nod to the lace trend, and the peeptoe is still popular for Winter.
It's £65, and also comes in a suede turquoise version which contrasts with the patent black patent hell.
What else have they got?

I love the colour of these wild heels from Carvela and I love the striking effect of the cut-out bits and multiple straps and zips. It's a look that Carvela have really come to grips with this season, making them a hugely popular choice with anyone in the market for party shoes.
These shoes really have got a lot going on, with a faux-snakeskin finish and daring platform. Team these with a pair of monochrome tights and a leather skirt for an explosive combination!
£140 at Debenhams

I heard recently that they'd discovered dinosaurs that were covered in feathers, so here's something else you wouldn't expect to come with its own plumage: a Pedro Garcia shoe.
His 'Michelle' peep-toe pumps look a bit like a tiger or leopard print-style from a distance, but once you look closely, you can clearly see the fluffy feathers covering them. This creates a frayed, three-dimensional element that certainly makes a difference form all the 'exotic skins' out there at the moment. I imagine caring for them would be a bit of a worry though: I can't see the guys at Timpsons being much help on this one once they've got a bit ruffled!

At 5ft 4in, I'm a girl that needs heels. Not only do I need them to make me visable when heading for the bar, but they make me feel slimmer and girlier.
Saying that, I fully emphasise with taller ladies who yearn for high heels but fear they may tower over the rest of us. Whilst we may envy their supermodel height, they're eyeing up the killer pumps we're tottering about in.
Some leggy ladies, like blogger Legseleven7, ignore any height worries and quite rightly splash out on a pair of gorgeous shoe boots like the Dune Romeo boots on the right for £90. However if you don't feel confident enough to do that, we've found some shoes that still give you a little spring to your step, without adding a foot to your height!

There's a tremendous amount of Chanel-apeing going on at the moment, and not all of it is good. But I have to hand it to New Look for getting it just about right with these sequinned shoes stilettos with just the right black and white ratio and no crazy colouration (OK, there is a pink and a blue version that I'm not quite so crazy about, but they're still a classic shape and in colours that match).
Their sequin stiletto in the monochrome tones is a good solid evening shoe that will give you instant Parisian chic on a shoestring.
£22 at New Look

Dries Van Noten loves his prints: an affinity that has afforded him mixed results. But I think he's on the money with these silk printed pumps, which have a subtle cami-like look about them that's quite grungey but in the more dressed-up, 09/10 sense rather than the bashed up plimsolls look of old. Add a python heel, and the sophisticated 'update' is comlete.
The abstract patterning on these shoes would make them easy to match with a day-to-night versatility and would work well with any largely monochrome outfit.
£365 at Browns
