We've been getting used to the sight of bows adorning the backs of shoes rather than the front recently, but these peep toes from Viva la Diva were still unusual enough for me to want to show you them.
I'm really enjoying the trend for floral print shoes right now: I tend to shy away from florals on clothing, but footwear is a different matter, and the curved sides and bright pink trim on these really appeals to me. They're £52, which isn't too outrageous, and at least you'll know they look just as good from the back as they do from the front.

Miss Selfridge describe this shoe as "nude". I'd say you'd have to have a slight greyish tinge to your skin for that to be the case, because it looks more like a dove grey to me, but that could just be my monitor. Colour quibbles aside, this is a nice, designer-inspired shoe (that peep toe looks a lot like YSL to me), which also comes in black and leopard. It's £45, and will be a good transitional shoe, too, as a pair of opaques underneath will let it take you through to autumn.

I'm currently obsessed with two things as far as footwear is concerned:
1. Tan or taupe - either will do just fine
2. Knot details - well, they make a refreshing change from bows, don't you think?
Barratts 'Roulade' peep toes fit the bill on both of those counts and have also been reduced to £15 - even better. The medium heel and suede upper should make these comfortable too: I sometimes find that peep toes can chafe around my toes, but suede ones tend to be softer, and reduce the need for plasters!

Jones the Bootmaker is offering one of the best bargains I've seen all summer with these sunny yellow peep-toes: they're reduced from £65 to just £19.
The cute courts will see you well into sunflower season with their floral cut-out design that's punched into two layers of leather. And in true Jones style, the shoes feel as good as they look, with a comfy padded insock.

Love bows? Hate bows? Your answer to those questions will probably determine your response to these Alexander McQueen peep toes , because these shoes are all about the bows! Actually, these bows are a little too much even for a self-confessed bow-lover like myself, but I can't deny they're dramatic, and I do like the gold leather.
Browns say that these shoes "make a statement". If it's a statement you approve of, you can buy them there for £475.

Lovers of the ubiquitous bow peep toes (yes, that would be me) will find everything their hearts desire in these satin trim shoes from New Look. Not only are the requisite bows and peep toes firmly in place, they're also enhanced by a pretty satin trim, and then there's that stunning gold vamp, which is just begging to be taken out to party.
Did I mention the fact that they're only £20? God bless you, New Look, you come up trumps every time...

Buying printed shoes can be a bit of a gamble, so it's good to stick to colours that aren't too garish -- like navy blue, for example. It's a good shade for matching to your wardrobe, especially if you've gone in for the nautical look this summer.
Firetrap's 'Tickled' sandal in navy blue is a classic peep-toe shape with a little bow on the front. The jolly-looking pattern when viewed up close is tiny trees. They may be a bit 'Minnie Mouse' for some, but I think they're super-cute and so is the price: £29.95 at Cloggs
