When it comes to vintage-styled footwear, Monsoon and Accessorize are far ahead of the field when it comes to lovely, wearable options. The latest style to catch our eye is this chunky grey Mary Jane. With a thick heel that compliments the style, they're prevented from being plain janes (geddit?) by the contrasting black trim with stab stitching detail. If you're looking for a sturdy pair of shoes to see you through the week, they're £45 from Accessorize.

A good pair of flats is an undervalued wardrobe essential, forget heels (only for a minute!) the right pair of flats will add immeasurable chic to your wardrobe. I love the Sam & Libby pair from Drop Your Drawers Vintage ($14.99), the oversized bow adds a bit of interest to your average ballet flat. The lovely Meg Hayes at DYD also has these flats in a soft pink colour and an ivory tone so if lime's a bit much for you then have a gander at those.

Genuine '40s shoes are pretty hard to come by but
these chunky black heels cost only $25 and are gorgeously retro. They are made of a soft suedey fabric and have cutouts on the toe and scalloped edges. Perfect for an 'Atonement' inspired '40s outfit and worn with a printed tea dress and waved hair you'll ooze glamour. Alternatively you could team the outfit with some grey tight and a simple shift dress to show off the shoes to the max.

Who says your feet (and not your shoes) should have all the fun? Absolutely Audrey is making sure that your shoes get in on the action with decorative clips in a variety of colours and shapes. With a fabulous range of both vintage and stock styles to choose from, you can transform a single pair of shoes into a myriad, just by changing the clips! My favourite is 'Edessa' - original vintage enamel flowers from the 1960s - for $15US. If you're in love, best get in quick! They're one of a kind!
