It might be the height of summer but Autumn shoes are already making their way on to the internet and if they're all as gorgeous as these Bottega Veneta boots from Browns (£490) then I'm willing to forget what season it is.
They have a Victorian feel without being too Miss Marple-y and the curved heel adds to the modern vibe. I love the cutouts, and would have immense fun teaming them with lacy or bright woolly tights come the winter months.

The shape of this shoe has lots going for it, but I have to admit, it's the fabulous bright blue colour that really catches the eye. The high platform sole, and round buckle fastening also appeal - in fact, the only thing that doesn't is the $595 price tag! They're by Sergio Rossi and the uppers are a soft suede: the platform, meanwhile, is one inch high, while the heel is 4.5", so they'll give you a real height boost, too.

If you keep up with what's happening on the catwalks, you may well recognise these shoes. If not, you'll have to wait until next week to find out where they're from! Regardless of the name on the label, though, we want to know what you think of them. Is that "quirky" in a good way, or quirky in a bad way, do you think? And would you wear them?
Vote yay or nay, and dont forget to tell us why!

I don't think I've seen snakeskin effect used only on a T-bar before, and I'm really liking the sparing use of it in these peep-toe courts, new in at Faith.
The effect, along with the oversized button, lends the shoes a vintagey look that's even more apparent in the brown and beige version of these shoes. Despite the peep-toe, I think these would work with or without tights, so would still be wearable once Autumn rolls around.

Kanye West told WWD on Friday that he is designing a range of shoes for Louis Vuitton saying: "I'm here for Louis". He was pictured here dressed head to toe in his designs with French singer Camille and N.E.R.D frontman Pharrell Williams at the Vuitton show in Paris. The rapper also revealed that he will release a women's line this Autumn.
Kanye's love of fashion is well known as he gushed about Burberry's show last week saying: I'm excited 2 (sic) see the shows... it's how I spend my vacations.... it's one of my favorite things in the world...I feel privileged to attend.

Who said flat shoes can't grab the attention? Certainly not the designers of these bright and funky, banana-yellow flats by Miss Sixty.
The leather loops on the front of the shoe give them a particularly summery touch that's reminiscent of big, clanking beads and bangles, and I like the way the straps run all around the leg with their little pendant fastening. Great for people who'd rather wear their jewellery on the feet! These would look great with a denim ensemble and would definitely hold their own on the beach. £37.99.

Who would have thought to jazz up a simple d'Orsay pump with a contrasting collar detail would look so good? This Co-op Barneys New York collared pump seems to have a style all in its own thanks to the clever use of leather and color. But it's not just about style, the extra created by the curved collar will help the foot look more narrow and sleek, while you'll be given a 3.5" boost with the thin stacked heel. While it's not cheap at $365, it's one shoe that would look great dressed up or down.
