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.

Okay, so while I'm madly on the hunt for a new pair of gladiator sandals to get my feet in the mood to really kick off summer, I'm well aware that many of you will be sick of the sight of them and will be wanting some other chic alternatives.
These brown toe post sandals really caught my eye because they deliver just that - they're not gladiators, but they still look fashionable and, most importantly, pretty darn good. The jewel detailing means they will sparkle and glitter in the sun, but the neutral tan colour means they're not overtly blingin'. Just perfect. They're a very reasonable £25 from Evans.
