A pair of pretty sparkly shoes will set off your party outfit, showcasing your cared-for tootsies and your delicate feet. This season sees plenty of satin and diamante on high heels and sandals, in vivid hues of jewel tones like emerald and ruby, as well as metallic tones of gold, silver and bronze. Elle's Vickie Brough says: "There are lots of gorgeous satin round toe heels around, which look great with sparkly, vintage dresses, or a little black dress. "Wedges are going to be big next spring/summer so get in with the act now. Go for metallic golds, silvers and bright psychedelic prints. Wedges are perfect for dancing in, comfier than heels but with the height." Retro round-toes Step back in time with some elegant 50s-style round-toed shoes. These are great if you want to protect your feet from toe-steppers and from the weather.
