Here's a slightly different take on the classic slingback heel where the actual slingback is cut from the same leather as the heel - which is in a slightly different shade of tan than the rest of the shoe. The two tone look is not exactly uncommon, but it is the combination of the colours and cut of this shoe that intrigues me. It would make a great every day shoe thanks to it's versatile 2" heel. What is also interesting is the fact that it's made from 100% crinkle patent leather... not the most commonly used form. But I'd be willing to give these shoes a go, after all Coclico Fish is a Spanish brand, like my other shoe favourite, Pedro Garcia. These slingbacks are retailing for $285 at PiperLime.com.

How sweet/milk maid are these Not Rated heels? Named Sittin' Pretty, I love that they're made of raffia and paired with stacked heel. It gives them his natural quality, like you're ready to go to work on a farm in a white cotton dress with your hair loose and flowing. You might also have a few pieces of straw clinging to your dress and hair from rolling around in the barn... Ok so no one would dress up to work on a farm, but that is my fantasy for these heels. Trimmed in a gingham check, you really can't get more farm girl than these for just $42.50.

These DAY Birger et Mikkelsen sandals are not only possibly the cheapest you'll ever see on Net-a-Porter, but are super cute to boot! They would look perfectly at home strolling along a beach in Thailand, Brazil or Fiji but equally stylish for summer-in-the-city wear too. I can imagine pairing them with pretty much my entire wardrobe - from denim cutoff shorts, to pretty floral skirts and dresses and 7/8 jeans. With the sole made from leather, beaded decoration and cotton ankle ties, for £60 they're a steal!

We're more used to seeing full-fronted sandals like these ones from Nine West in leather, for daytime wear, but if you love the style so much you want to wear it in the evening, too, these are the shoes for you. These are suitably glamorous for evening wear, while being unusual enough to make a pleasant change from the standard, glitter-strap sandals. The fashionable style will also allow you to give a nod towards the current trends, even under a strict dress code, while the bright green and blue satin is certainly loud enough. These are also available in a burnt orange and pink, and they're £60.

Let's face it, the trend for brightly coloured shoes probably won't last more than a season or so, so if you want to give it a whirl on a serious budget, these pink patent pumps from Charlotte Russe could be the way to do it. For such a cheap shoe, these have a really nice shape to them, and also come in white, black and - my favourite - camel, as well as this Barbie-esque patent pink. They're definitely not the most expensive shoes you'll ever buy, either, at $22.99.
