Pewter is a shade that seems to work particularly well on shoes, providing shine and intrigue without straying too far into 'bling' territory. There's plenty of pewter on the catwalks this season, and even more on the high street, which is where we found these styles. Seen from top left, clockwise:
Faith 'Cepom' platform court shoe with pom-pom, £55 at Debenhams
Pewter platform courts: £30 at Dorothy Perkins
'Ashley' black and pewter heeled court shoe, £60 at John Lewis
'Clacer' platform court with bow: £70 at Debenhams
If you only go for one fashion 'look' this season, Glam Rock is leading all other trends - and you can be sure that a pair of studded boots will give you instant attitude without you having to even think about leather jackets or big hair. They're easy to wear, fit in with both casual and dressed-up looks and are just so much more fun to buy than plain boots.
The main problem is deciding which style to go for: there are just so many, and as you can see from the small selection above, a lot of them look almost identical. The good news is that the prices vary far more than that, and there's something here to suit all budgets. Can you tell the difference in quality here without looking?

I generally tend to think of tie-front shoes, particularly the sort that involve ribbons, as a bit school-marmish, but styles that are doing the rounds at the moment are really making me think again. Worn in the right way (perhaps with a pair of sheer, polkadot tights with a tailored skirt, I'm thinking) these styles can look fabulous, and there are plenty of good ones to choose from at all price points.
From top left, clockwise:
Pink 'Anenome' high heeled shoes by Carvela: reduced to £59 (from £100) at Debenhams.
Limited Collection studded high heeled shoes. £29.50 at Marks & Spencer
Red glossy tie-front heels, also by Marks & Spencer as above: now sold out (sadface). But there's a similar style from the Autograph range here for £45.
Venetia tie-front pumps by Rupert Sanderson: £333 at Net-a-Porter
