ASOS are a mixed bag at the mo. Their shoes either fall into the 'gorgeous' or 'really very hideous' categories. Recently they've been swaying towards the latter but this is probably because I've been distracted by all the bizarre/boring/dodgy shoes in the sale. Some of it is just fuh-gly beyond belief - what were those designers thinking!
But just as I was losing my shoe faith I came across these coral lovelies! Ahh. I am loving everything about them -the fruity colour, wooden stacked heel and strap-happy detailing! Whether they are worn with a frock or skinnies tucked into the ankle straps they are guaranteed to inject a fabulous
colour pop into any outfit. If accessories can make or break an outfit then these are superhero-shoes -designed to save you from drab-outfit days! Even better, the turquoise version is £39 in the sale and equally as pretty.
They are £65 from ASOS

Being a tad vertically challenged I avoid ankle straps like the plague and gravitate towards slingbacks, peep-toes and shoes that show off plenty of foot-flesh.
So I almost K.O'ed with excitement when I came across this gorgeous pair of Kurt Geiger shoes -they tick all my leg-lengthening boxes! And they're pink! Yay!
Simple, yes but they look amazing on and the classic shape flatters feet a treat. Wear them with a frock for maximum impact and accessorise with a big cocktail! These are the epitome of girly glamour and so pretty I reckon Carrie Bradshaw would love them. If she were real. She's a bit like Santa for women -you just want to believe she exists!
'Daisy' shoes are £170 at Kurt Geiger

Riding on the tails of the trend for cut out shoes kicked off by YSL are these beauties by Miu Miu.
These navy 'suede cutout sandals' just - well not 'scream', they wouldn't do that. Maybe 'classily proclaim' - sophistication.
Peep-toed with a high 5 inch heel, I can just imagine these with jeans or paired with a casual floaty dress to fashion-it-up. If you can imagine these on your feet, and can follow it up with the cash, they're £380.

Can you believe these crazy day-glo sandals? You'd better, because they're right here in front of your eyes, and they're not going to vanish when you blink. The statement-making shoes by John Fluevog are typical of the brands bold, chunky style but with an extra ounce of cute supplied by a pair of bows that Hello Kitty would be proud of.
If you like the style but won't do pink, they're available in a very emo-friendly black and grey, too.
$159 at Fluevog
Yuck.
I wouldn't wish these shoes on my worst enemy.
These 'cuffed' sandals are from ASOS and are cheap wag central. Firstly, why would you 'cuff' a sandal? The whole point of sandals is that they're for summer, ie hot weather. So why would you add what is technically a legwarmer, why?
Secondly, they are hot pink Zebra print. I don't think I need to explain whats wrong with that.
Thirdly, they are hairy. Hairy shoes.
Unfortunately, they're for sale on ASOS for £60. Yes I know.

Let me give you some advice, shoe friends. Some shoes are useful in that they also double as a deadly weapon. Take these for instance. Say you were out walking home after a night out and some (very stupid) person tried to attack you. One swift stab of that spike heel and they'd be the ones in trouble.
Now I can add 'Means of self defense' to my list of 'Reasons To Justify Buying Yet More Shoes'.
Apart from their usefullness, they're also really pretty! They're snake effect leather, and the platform, straps and gold detailing give them a tough girl glamour. If you want to buy them (for your own protection of course, nothing about self indulgence) they're £85 from ASOS.

Look. At. These. Wow.
These Alexander McQueen sandals are probably the closest you could ever get to Cinderella's glass slippers. They are amazing. The champagne coloured shoes have crystal encrusted straps and that amazing, show stopping 13cm crystal heel.
I'm struggling to think of somewhere appropriately fancy to wear them, and I've come up with...your wedding. If you want to add these to your collection, to wear or just to put on a display table in the hallway, whichever, they're currently on sale for £779, down from £1558.
