Ethical summer style at Beyond Skin

beyond skin bella.jpgI've always been a fan of luxury ethical footwear brand Beyond Skin but really think that this years spring/summer collection has surpassed anything they've done before.

Take for example these scrumptious 'Bella' wedges, which combine classic summery style with innovative, earth-friendly materials: the sandal front and slingback strap are both made from organic hemp, while the art-deco design is printed on a four inch canvas wedge. All components are sourced locally to the factory in Alicante, Spain, so if you're concerned about your footwear's footprints, these well-built shoes will be a great investment to your wardrobe. Available online at £150

Faith's 'Abox' almond toe jersey pumps

faith-abox-jersey-flats.jpg"Jersey pumps". Now those even sound comfortable, don't they? As for how comfortable they'll be in real life, well, I couldn't say for sure without trying them on, but the fact that they have a low, concealed wedge heel is good news, giving your poor old feet that little bit more in the way of support than you'd get from a pair of flats. These are casual but very chic, and would look great paired with a summery skirt or pair of shorts. The jersey fabric is even more apparent in the grey version, and both colours are £25 from Faith.

Boden's espadrilles are the 'height' of summer chic

boden espadrilles.jpgEspadrilles may be all the rage just now, but if you're not blessed with height or just prefer to keep a few inches between your feet and the pavement, these 'grainy leather' espadrilles by Boden could be just the thing for you. With their soft, quality leather and contrast stitching, they're pure understated chic.

If you like this style but want to check out other brands, you can view it alongside similar styles on our fabulous shoe finding tool. But be warned if you have work to do -- this feature is addictive!

Gothic goes gingham with Demonia's bow wedge mules

Thumbnail image for demonia minnie.jpgIf you've ever visited Demonia's website you'd be forgiven for thinking you need a set of giant hair extensions and a stud through your tongue to wear the gravity-defying footwear on offer. But browsing their sizeable retro section I discovered these cute-as-a-button mules with a 3 3/4" wedge for an extreme take on this season's country girl look. Great for anyone who wants to stand out from the crowd, the 'Minnie' shoes also come in black and white polka-dot. £29 at Amber's Secrets

Spotted canvas bow wedges from Miss Selfridge

polka-dot-bow-wedges.jpgOver the past few weeks, Miss Selfridge have mounted a cruel campaign to divest me of all of my money, by the simple measure of placing one highly covetable thing after another on their website. On the shoe front, I'm currently coveting these polka dot bow wedges, which are lots of fun for the summer months, with their mixture of large and small dots. Hopefully the cool, canvas uppers, peep toe and wedge should help keep your feet comfortable too, during those long hot days which surely must be just around the corner. Surely.

Gold patent peep toe from New Look

gold new look cutout wedge.jpgI'm not such a fan of charity shop imitations, after all if you can buy the real thing who wants a lame high street rip off? But these gold wedge heels are so spectacular that I'm glad that New Look has resurrected them from the decade that taste threw up on and has made them an exciting twenty quid. The cutout effect is fab and the peep toe is perfect for summer.
I'm sorely tempted to don a kaftan and towelling turban and hang out at my Monte Carlo holiday home. Oh wait, that was a dream.

Head Over Heels Printed Bow Front Peep Toe Wedge

headoverheels-printedpeepwedge.jpgDoes anyone have a wedding to go to this spring/summer because these are the perfect shoe for a wedding. The metallic print on the sand coloured leather is so lace-like that it would look great near your best-buddy who is tying the knot. The soft prettiness of these Head Over Heels printed bow wedge are finished off with a bold black leather bow so the shoe is not too frou-frou. Even if you don't have a wedding to attend, these 4.5" heels would look great with a denim mini this spring.
