A word to the wise: if canvas sneakers are on your summer shopping list, take a look at Dorothy Perkins. They have lots of canvas shoes in at the moment, in both high top and classic styles, and the prices are very reasonable - the blue shoes shown here are £18, and the low lace-ups just £12. These come in yellow, black and white as well as blue, and all will make great casual shoes for warmer weather.

If Kermit wore Louboutins, these Privatita slingbacks (£420) would be the perfect shoe. But in reality, since it's actually um, me that would have to wear them and not a frog puppet, I'm not so sure I could pull this colour off the same way Kermy would.
The slingback/ankle strap design is beyond beautiful, but I can't imagine the neon green looking great against my fair skin. Probably a different story if you had the sunkissed limbs of Adriana Lima... Either way, these shoes would definitely put a zing of zany colour into any spring outfit!

I'm not sure quite what to make of these pink ASOS t-bars. They look a little bit like the t-bar was an afterthought, which gives it a bit of a "tacked on" feeling. Despite that, the cut-out front is cute, as is the bright pink colour. These are also available in black, and look like a totally different shoe, which would be great for work, or more formal occasions. They're £25.

On my screen, these Dorothy Perkins sandals look more of a dusky pink than a "coral", but let's not quibble about colour when there are shoes to be looked at! These also come in silver and black, and at £40 are slightly more expensive than Dorothy Perkins' usual fare - probably because they're 100% leather. They're also a little more interesting than most t-bar sandals, with that twisted front and slightly chunky heel helping to make them look like they'd be comfortable enough to wear or day.

Seeing Sienna and co. traipsing around in their festival gear at Coachella has me starting to think about my own festival attire for this summer. Am loving the Vivienne Westwood Pirate boots Sie has been wearing, but if you're after sandals, gladiator will probably be the way to go. I might forgo Kim Stewart's knee-high style though, and instead go for something a touch more subtle. I can't decide what's better about these suede sandals from Urban Outfitters - the cute fringing or the price! They're on sale now, for £14.99. At least I can tick 'footwear' off my list now...

No, they're not exactly glamorous, but if you're planning on heading to any of the UK music festivals this summer, "glamour" will probably have to make way for "practical", given that you'll be wallowing in mud much of the time. That's unless you're Kate Moss, of course: Kate always manages to look glamorous at Glastonbury, usually while wearing a pair of denim shorts and her trusty Hunter wellies, and now you can too, thanks to ASOS, who are selling the Wellingtons for £55 per pair. Whether you choose to wear them with denim hotpants is, of course, up to you!

What does everyone think of the trend for platforms that stop before the end of the shoe, like these ones by Finsk for Faith Solo? Personally, I really like them. I don't own a pair, so I can't say how easy they'd be to walk in (they always tend to look a little bit precarious), but I think the style is interesting, and makes the shoe that bit more unusual. These ones come in pewter or tan, and are £120. The platform is high, but the wide ankle strap should help anchor these firmly enough to your feet. What do you think of them?
