Oasis' ballet pump is the pinnacle of cute, the patent toe cap is a great detail and contrasts nicely with the suede upper, stopping it from looking too girly. They're £35 and solidly constructed making an ideal shoe for cloudy summer days like today.
For a sassy take on preppy team the shoes with a fitted pencil skirt, cutoff baggy tee and a gold chain for maximum irony. If you prefer a more classic look they also come in black and white.

These Chloe deer leather peep toe pumps are the perfect modern take on a chic classic. Doing what Chloe tends to do best, these heels feature double stitching with a leather strap attached across the vamp of the heel. While the name might have you thinking these pumps are made from deer leather (quell horror), they're not. Deer is actually used to describe the colour of the shoe. Probably not the best move by the shoe-namers, but either way you can get these pumps from BlueFly for $412, down from $515.

Boy are these shoes very pretty-in-pink. Either that or I can see Mariah Carey stocking up because a) they're pink, and b) they feature a pretty butterfly over the foot. Made from patent calf leather, these shoes are utterly adorable - and named after a area in London, on the south bank of the river Thames. The butterfly embellishment features golden accents and the 'Old English Louis Vuitton' signature on it. These Louis Vuitton Battersea slingback sandals will set you back a tidy $795 in all it's 3.5" scratch-resistant heeled glory

Every time I see black and red together on a shoe, I think "Christian Louboutin", which is why I had to do a double take when I read the name "Brian Atwood" next to these ones. Of course, Louboutin uses red soles rather than red heels, as these ones do, but even the shape of the pump struck me as being a little Louboutin-esque.
Regardless of the designer name on the inside, though, I love these shoes, which are such a classic shape, with the red heel livening things up a little. They're $580, and available at Saks Fifth Avenue.

As Isabelle said earlier today, the Fall footwear collections are already starting to be seen in stores, providing some nice eye candy, even if you don't want to wear them just yet. Gucci's 'Rosin' is one of the new styles available to pre-order at Saks: the style is available as a pump, sandal or slide, and features that interesting bamboo detail on the delicate stiletto heel. I think the gold sandals ($625) are my favourites, purely for the sake of that luscious metallic leather, but the pumps ($565) are probably the more practical choice, and are one of those "wear anywhere" styles. The slides, meanwhile, at the cheapest option at $535.

These shoes seem to call for a fairytale kind of dress to wear with them - perhaps something with lots of tulle and some old-fashioned glamour to it. Of course, those kinds of dresses tend only to be worn by brides, so maybe a classic prom or cocktail dress would do just as well. The organza flower and rhinestone staps are super-feminine, and that may make them unpopular with some of you, but if, like me, you'd love to slip into these Caovilla beauties, you can find them at Bluefly for $780.

You know what they say about nude shoes: they elongate your legs like no other shoes can (well, maybe your sky-high Louboutins but that's open for debate!)
Once confined to bingo-playing grannies, nude pumps are all the rage once again thanks to qualities like the aforementioned leg-lengthening ability. These Michael Kors leather pumps are a wardrobe classic, with a softly rounded toe and leather-covered heel. For $188 (on sale at Bergdorf Goodman) they're a fantastic investment.
