It's ASOS's turn to do the Alexander McQueen zebra peep toes...

asos-mcqueen.jpgNotice anything familiar about these shoes? You should do, because this is the third time we've shown a pair just like them - the first time being back in December, when you showed you the originals, by Alexander McQueen, and the second just a couple of weeks ago, when we brought you the Aldo version. This pair is by ASOS , and they're the cheapest of the trio, at just £30.

So, who's next to be inspired by Mr McQueen's shoes, I wonder?

Dior's 60th anniversary shoes

dior_anniversdary_shoes.jpgThis year marks the 60th anniversary of the Dior fashion house, and what better way to celebrate your birthday than with a new pair of shoes?

Dior have chosen to mark the occasion with these velvet peep toes, which have a satin finish and a special anniversary pendant on the front engraved with the Christian Dior logo. At $720 they make a pretty expensive gift, but hey, it is a special occasion...

Moda in Pelle's leopard print 'Cariah' peep toes

leopardcariah.jpgWell, these will certainly get you noticed, won't they? They're Moda in Pelle's leopard print 'Cariah' peep toes , and I know they're the sort of thing that some of you will absolutely hate, but I think with the right choice of outfit (i.e. nothing too flashy, and definitely no animal prints!) they could just be fabulous. The curl trim is something we've been seeing crop up now and again in the shoe world, I and I like it: it's something different and that, plus the red trim and heels, help make these the kind of shoes that will turn heads. If they turned yours, they're £85 from Moda in Pelle.

Spooky skull print D'Orsays by Underground

underground courts.jpgI just can't let go of my Goth side, can I? Even if it has been, oh, months since I last squeezed into a corset...now, I wouldn't attempt six inch platforms anymore, but I do have a soft spot for alternative takes on current trends -- like these skull-print D'Orsay pumps by Underground.

I love the way they've taken a fashionable style that's everywhere and injected a bit of spookiness that will only be apparant on a second glance. You can get them at Cloggs for £39.95

Leather bow peep toes from New Look

erezCAMTDY72.jpgWe've shown you the non-bow-fronted version of these before, so I'm cheating slightly by drawing your attention to these ones, but they're so pretty I just couldn't resist. If it wasn't for the glimpse of the "Your Feet Look Gorgeous" logo on the insole, you could easily have convinced me that these were a pair of designer shoes - as it is, they're very much high street (as is reflected in the £25 price), but the uppers are leather and they should see you through a few seasons at least. They're available in black, white and tan and I want them all...

Faith 'Cerezas' T-bar peep-toes with snakeskin effect

faith cerezas.jpgI don't think I've seen snakeskin effect used only on a T-bar before, and I'm really liking the sparing use of it in these peep-toe courts, new in at Faith.

The effect, along with the oversized button, lends the shoes a vintagey look that's even more apparent in the brown and beige version of these shoes. Despite the peep-toe, I think these would work with or without tights, so would still be wearable once Autumn rolls around.

Giambattista Valli snakeskin heel slingbacks

giambattistavalli_slingbacks.jpg

I may not be able to pronounce the name, but I definitely know a good shoe when I see one! These slingbacks from Giambattista Valli (seriously - am I the only one who can't get my tongue around that?) are one of those purchases you will make and be thankful for every time you slip your toes into them.

Silk and leather offset the fabulous snakeskin-covered heel and, along with the delicate bow featured just above the peep toe, ensures these heels are a total wardrobe classic. Classics don't often come cheap either, so it's with absolute glee I see they have been reduced to just £165 (from £405) at Browns.
