Oasis Lily Platform Sandals Written on March 11, 2010, by Emma Cossey.
Ah Oasis, you really are spoiling us at the moment.
These Oasis Lily Platform Sandals are adorned with a flower/bow hybrid, leaving it half way between a shoe boot and a standard high heel.
I adore the front of the design, and the sole and high heel has an interesting texture which contrasts well with the suede upper.
They do look a little strange on the model on ASOS.com, which accentutes the block platform a little more than this image. At £80, they’re a cheaper yet luxurious looking alternative to the structural heels in the designer boutiques.

Bottega Veneta woven wedge sandals Written on March 10, 2010, by AbiSilvester.
Once again, wedges are big enough that designers can use them as a blank canvas for all manner of wonderful flights of fantasy. It’s one of those trends you can easily see going horribly wrong (think jelly-bean print, or goldfish), but Bottega Veneta has done well here to incorporate a look it’s already putting to excellent use in its bags: colourful weaving. £530 at Net-a-Porter
