If there were ever a pair of shoes to sum up my taste perfectly, I'm thinking these Sergio Rossi Madeleine peep-toe wedges might be it. They're basic yet luxurious thanks to their taupe leather and karung snakeskin wedge.
They're not completely showy yet they're still very eye-catching (let's face it, you'd still probably notice them!)
They're somewhat practical (er, I guess wedges are comfier than your average stiletto) and yet they'll add 5 inches in height - aah, yes, they're Kelly's perfect shoes.
I'm also loving the little details - the slightly off skew peep-toe, the asymmetric ankle strap and the padded insole. Unfortunately for me, the $775 pricetag takes away a little from the overall perfection, but they're still pretty great. From Saks.
I saw these just as I was about to fall asleep and they jolted me awake. Bright aren't they?
The shoe has a multi coloured floral wedge heel with a cobalt blue satin peep toe upper. I think I've typed this sentence a million times now but...they'd be great for summer!
They would be stunning worn with a nice dress, or a pair of dark jeans... or some nice denim shorts. Or anything really, as long as its simple enough to cope with the bright pattern. Get them from Oli for £65.
These shoes are possibly a case of you'll either love 'em or hate 'em, thanks to their uber-trendy fringing and wedge heel - two opinion dividers of the highest order. Personally, I'm quite a fan, but that's probably because they fit right in with my festival shoe criteria, with the added bonus of having a little bit of height thrown in thanks to the two inch wedge (frankly, I need all the help I can get!)
They are made from suede, have an attractive T-bar shape with side cutouts and a zip closure at the back. You can pick them up for $138 from Free People.
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.
So nautical is back in vogue for this summer, just like it was last summer, and the one before it...
If you want a way to channel it without going down the obvious anchor print and stripes route, these wedges from Dolce and Gabbana would be perfect.
Understatedly sea-themed, the front is made of natural white rope and is pulled into a t bar strap, while the 4 inch wedge heel has a rope finish. Get them from Farfetch for £314.
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.
They're a beautiful pair of wedges, there's no denying that. But look closely at those soles and what do you see? I see old wicker chairs, and a 'home furnishing' quality that I'm not sure I'd want in my living room - let alone on my feet. But what do you think: do these shoes say styish summer shoe or '70s Habitat to you?
