Rave shoe from Dune

Dune Rave Shoes.jpg These shoes take the basic court shoe and inject a majorly playful element. Dune have taken the classic court design and really gone to town by adding a slash of contrast colour along the ankle and heel, and following this through in the inside sole. The mix of burnt orange and grey is a really fresh take on what's normally considered a serious office shoe, and the cut out detailing on the ankle adds a little intrigue to the standard shape.

The heel is 4.5 inches, and with a name like Rave suggests you'll be enjoying plenty of dancing time with them!

£85 from Dune

KG Dita shoes from Kurt Geiger

KG Dita.jpg When I hear the word Dita I think of ruby red lips, corsets and carefully teased black hair. Quirky shoes which combine textured gold and cream leather don't really feature in that vision, but these babies from the KG range are luxurious enough to redefine the term.

The combination of the three colours works really well together and the interesting choice of turquoise ( the Pantone colour of the year) gives it that extra sparkle. I love the mix of textures as the embossed cream and textured gold give the shoe a dramatic feel and a distinctly catwalk vibe. These shoes would easily get you through this tricky transitional period and would work equally well bare legged or with tights.

£140 from Kurt Geiger

Dune Satin Stripe Court Shoes

dunepinstripe.jpgShoes like these Dune Satin Strip Court Shoes on the left make me yearn for the days of donning a suit and working in an office.

The perfect partner for a pretty pencil skirt and silk blouse, these beautiful heels could have jumped straight out of a Mad Men episode.

The thing about these shoes is that they tread a very thin line between classy and cheap. The black patent toecap seems to be the element that ensures this pair of heels stay on the right side of that line.

Like the monochrome look? You can buy them for £80 from Oli.co.uk.

Belle flats from Redfoot

London Fashion Week may have been showcasing a lot of super-high heels (and some seriously bizarre ones) but we're also seeing flats peep through as a viable fashion option.

Redfoot Revolution offers a range of flat shoes that you can fold up and pop in your handbag for easy commuting or after a hard night on the tiles. I've talked about their Sex and the City range recently, and now they've taken inspiration from a UK fashion queen for their latest flats.

Suri Boots from Carvela

Carvela Suri.jpgThese boots are the epitome of desert island chic, and I love their chunky styling. The friendly mid heel will suit most people, and they're available in beige and blue- but I think the beige version will be more useful for accenting your summer wardrobe.

They're very versatile as they can be worn with slouchy jeans in the day or dressed up with ankle socks and jewellery for a night out. They remind me a little of the velveteen shoes seen on the Michael Van der Ham catwalk, and they effortlessly fuse chunkiness with femininity.

£120 from Carvela

ASOS Hodge Colour Block Sandal

asos hodge.jpgI'm a big fan of two tone designs as I find they add that extra special element to any shoe. This delicious fusion of taupe with peach is incredibly attractive, and will go well with the nude colours that will soon be in store for summer.

The use of colour blocking was evident at London Fashion Week this year, with designers playing around with colours and textures, and this is a great way to adapt the trend for yourself. The cut away detail highlights the contours of the foot, and the velcro ankle strap means that you can make the strap sit wherever is most comfortable.

£45 from ASOS
