Summer Party Shoes

Well it's possibly going to be raining until, ooh well early September when the schools go back, so we have to be realistic about layering to combat every combination of weather that can and will hit us in a 24 hour period.

But there is one thing we don't have to compromise on.... shoes! You just need to be walking from car to door - and better make it as short a trip as possible.

I have picked my favourites for the season which can take you through 'til Christmas and either complement or follow the colour blocking theme that is so big this year.

1. Girder Carvela heels from Kurt Geiger £130 skyscraper that aren't as bad as they look as the wedge is pretty high too...

Loving the deep blue and the suede that will look as good with a pair of hareem pants as they will jeans or a party frock.

2. Serenity French Connection suede wedge also from Kurt Geiger and at a cool £100 they are a very good buy.

 I love wedges like these - they are still slim and sexy but because you aren't balanced on a thin heel you can wear and walk for hours... I have a black pair of leather ones and have worn them for about four years - we can't bear to be parted!

3. OMG it's another pair. This time they are in glorious gold leather and I WANT THEM NOW! Karen Millen has a lot to answer for in terms of doing subtle sex on the high-street, and these are as sexy as they come.



And for a mere £200 (ok so not so mere then) they will last a good few seasons. They are limited addition so check them out before they walk off line....

4. Colour block away with pink and red from Top Shop. Again you should be looking to dress these up or down and match them with cerise and black for max impact.

Glee Top Shop shoe for £46 puts a smile on your face and a little less on the plastic...

5. Who can resist a pair of Mary Jane's - especially when they are as gorgeous as these! I am loving ASOS at the moment because if you search a little you can always find something that updates your wardrobe without being just that bit too young...

This Suzie pair from ASOS has a patent heel and comes in at a cool £45.
