In a change to the usual "flower/bow on the front" detail that we're so used to seeing on shoes at the moment, Moda in Pelle have decided to break out and use a butterfly motif on these pink 'Layton' peep toes instead. It's the perfect finishing touch to an already super-feminine shoe, featuring scalloped edges and pale-pink leather. If that pink colourway is just a little too sugary-sweet for you, though, these are also available in black and cost £70.

Bold tribal style prints are in again this summer, and if abstract patterns aren't your thing, then consider these Grandiflora sepia-toned print wedges from Anthropologie. The cute pencil-like floral pattern makes these shoes a nice summer heel for days (or nights) spent out on a boardwalk somewhere. They'll give you a 4.25" boost while setting you back a not-too-pricey $88.

Ah, the low heeled wedge! The perfect antidote to all of the flip flops and various other flats that come out in force every summer. While flats are comfortable and practical for this time of year, though, there are still those of us who like a little bit of height, even when it's hot and we're going to be spending the day walking around tourist attractions or, er, shops. This is when the low wedge comes into its own, and I think these ones by River Island are a perfect example of the style. The tan leather makes them look expensive and classy, while the heel will give your foot a bit of support and your height a bit of a boost, while still being comfortable enough to treck around in all day. These ones are £34.99, and you'll find them at River Island.

Time for another Play the Shoe Stylist! This week we're playing with the very summery 'Hia' wedge, which you can pick up for £45 from Faith. The gingham flowers and straw uppers make this shoe perfect for a summer picnic, I think, but what would you choose to wear with it?
Show us by sending us your completed images by 9am on Tuesday morning - don't forget to read the rules first, though: you'll find them here.

Don't you just hate it when you stumble upon what seems to be an absolute bargain of a shoe, only to find that it's not available in your size? So it was with me and these ASOS wedges. I got all excited when I realised they were £16 reduced from £50 - then I checked the available sizes and discovered that they're only available in a size 7. Not to worry, though, they're also available in black... in sizes 7 and 8. Ah well, it's clearly not meant to be for me, but for those of you who do take those sizes, I'd grab a pair while you still can...

Now, admittedly these shoes look a bit like they were designed by a small child and a large box of crayons, and that's possibly not the look most of us are going for when we get dressed in the morning. Childlike colour scheme aside, though, there's no denying that these are very playful, so if you want to wear something bright and colourful on a sunny day, or jus cheer up a rainy one, they could be worth considering.
Wear these with a pair of denim shorts and they may not be the most sophisticated shoes you'll ever wear, but al least they'll put a smile on your face.

I tend to think that if you're going to wear huge wedges, you might as well treat them as a blank canvas and make a feature of them. And that certainly seems to be the thinking behind Tiurai's pink slingbacks with their crazy rainbow wedge.
The shoes are an absolute riot of colour, which is somehow permissible on sunny beaches, so these are definitely a holiday shoe. Pick up a pair for £34.95 at Shoes.co.uk
