These studded peep-toe boots are really love at first sight, aren't they? Well, they were for me anyway. Taking elements of Gucci's studding and the elegant peep-toe seen in the likes of Louboutin's designs, the 'Abby' would definitely be a chic addition to your boot collection.
While you're probably more likely to be thinking about sandals, flip-flops and wedges at the moment, there's also no harm in sorting out your footwear now for those colder, rainier days up ahead. If you're worried about them being "out of fashion" by that time, then rest assured we'll continue to see the trend for buckles and studding for some time yet. You can purchase these from Topshop for £90.

There's nothing quite like the sight of a basic, pretty wedge heel that makes me feel truly summery and in the mood for garden parties, beach going and picnic dates in the park. These Pascal ones by Moda In Pelle are right on the mark in terms of conjuring up all that imagery and I picture myself in the middle of these little daydreams, wearing something pretty and girly and floaty, with, of course, the wedges in question on my feet.
They're available in beige, pink and navy suede for £60 from Moda In Pelle.

Every girl's got a rock chick side to themselves (even if it's buried way, waaay down deep inside) begging to be unleashed, so why not tap into that from time to time, have a little bit of fun running amuck and causing a little chaos?
And what else would you rather have on your feet while you're doing so, than these zip front boots from Alexander McQueen? They're grungy yet chic with their peep toe, stiletto heel, fold-down panel and skull zipper and are priced at £575 from Net-a-Porter.

Try as I might, I don't think I will ever understand the constant... well, insistence, of shoe designers to bring out heels in the form of trainers (or should that be trainers in the form of heels?) It doesn't matter if they're platforms, wedges or stilettos - they didn't look good on the Spice Girls and I'm pretty certain they will never look good on the rest of us either!
At least these ones are slightly more intriguing than the Spice Girl specialties, thanks to their pleated grey silk satin and bold lemon velvet laces. The model makes them look half-reasonable too, but sorry, am still not convinced. Are you? They're £90 from Coggles if you just so happen to be...

I'm still a-huntin' for the perfect hot weather festival shoe - I want it to be comfortable, go with all my outfits (no matter how fashion schizophrenic I end up being), be airy enough to keep my feet cool and look trendy all at the same time.
I think these Steve Madden Hippster sandals could very well fulfill all of the above criteria, with the chestnut brown suede being an extremely versatile colour and material (not to mention, be less likely to rub on your hot feet and give you blisters). Plus I love how the fringing detail gives them that little summer 2009 feeling (with fringing being big news and all). They're £70 from Shudoo.

You'll be sure to have a few jaws dropping as you don these Margiela wedge heel mules and create an optical illusion of sorts with your half invisible shoe. The transparent acrylic wedge heel means your foot will look like it's floating (or that you're walking around on your tippy toes all day), when in reality - haha, fooled you - it's actually comfortably resting. Well, as comfy as any foot in heels can be, anyway.
I'm not usually one for the quirky shoes, but I can actually imagine myself wearing these - is it because of the pretty shades of pink and lilac? They've currently got 50% off their pricetag at Farfetch and are going for £209.

With Latitude kicking off next week, Glastonbury mere weeks away and all manner of other fun festivals gearing up for the rest of summer, we're about to get all festival-mad on y'all here at Shiny Towers. And what better place to start than with a tried and true festival necessity: wellington boots.
It's all well and good to go where fashionistas go (and that's to go down the faithful Hunter welly route) and while we're definitely fans, we also think there's plenty of fun to be had in going bright and bold and colourful. Which is why we've found three of our favourite patterned and colourful wellies, so you can express your musical joy on your extremely warm and dry feet.
Read on to find out product and price details.
