Origami style fashion accessories always seem to go down well with me if they're well made and sleek. Take these Eileen Shields Hannah Origami Flat Slide's, with their clean lines and fashionable metallic silver colour, it's versatile as well as adhering to most people's need for some sort of comfort in a shoe. Sure the "origami" detail is just a band detail at the vamp of the shoe, it's definitely more interesting than just a plain strap of a heap of embellishments. Question is, is it a worth while buy for $206.50 - down from $295?
Don't these look like the comfiest ballet flats around? And you don't have to pay full price for them either because these F-Troupe Elastic Ankle Strap Ballet Flats have been marked down from $170 to $128 at Tobi.com. Made from quilted leather, these F-Troupe flats feature crisscross elastic straps that wrap around your ankle in classic ballet slipper style. To top it all off, they're made for comfort with a padded leather insole and are quite versatile thanks to its subtle design.

Duck egg blue is a great colour for summer and these Faith sandals use the colour to great effect.
I like the white edging and rubber toe cap which gives a Stormtrooper/Star Wars kind of effect. Space-age isn't a traditional summer influence but I think it's one that deserves some attention. Discard your florals and nautical and bright whites for something a little different and snap up these shoes for the reduced price of £28.

Cherry red has always been one of my favourite shoe colours, and it looks particularly lovely on sandals.
Faith's 'Dacut' ticks all the right boxes as a summer shoe, with its breathable cut-out detail uppers and ankle strap for extra stability as you gallovant around in the sun. Its sculpted look is very in this season, and I can see it nicely coupled with pretty, floaty fabrics. If you don't like red, the same style comes in taupe. Both are on sale half price at £25.

I am loving the Shopbop Designer Boutique sale section right now, after yesterday's cool find, I had to go back for more. And then I came across these Christian Lacroix Shoes Open Toe pumps with a jewel brooch. Originally a pricey $725, they've been marked down to an almost affordable $362.50. Pretty cheap when you factor in the fact that they are Christian Lacroix d'Orsay pumps made from grosgrain silk, and the pretty crystal brooch at the vamp of the shoe which gives it a nice dainty feel. What more could you ask for besides a saving of 50%?

Ladies, have I got a deal on these Proenza Schouler lace-up booties for you. These pretty (albeit slightly witchy) boots have been marked down from $890 to the affordable price of $267. You would be hard pressed to find iconic Proenza Schouler shoes going for much cheaper (after all this is a $600 mark down). Made from soft calf leather, they're trimmed with kid-suede to give it a subtle contrast look. The pointed toe and lace up look would be perfect for winter when it comes time to dress up in Proenza Scouler's fall 2009 jewel toned pieces.

Ever since The Sartorialist posted an image of the Dries Van Noten girls all clad in gold heels and pleated skirts I've had a bit of a thing about gold shoes.
Faith's gold shoes (reduced to £20) tick all the right boxes without being too trashy or flashy. The suede upper creates a bit of texture and look more antique and aged than leather. Use them to add a bit of faded chic to an elegant outfit... Gold shoes have never been this classy!
