Nothing says "hello summer" like an Espadrille inspired shoe. Nope, not even pulling out every white cotton dress or noticing the alarming amount of men comfortably walking around Oxford Street bare chested.

This Guiseppe Zanotti pair are given an evening edge with black satin, back zips and the sexy ankle tie. The woven roped heel and stitch detail instantly makes us think of  sailing in the summer. But this shoe won't step onto the beach, it's made for the yachts darling. Retailing at £440.43 they're available from Luisaviaroma.com

Georgie loves these...because Burberry's Platform Ankle Boots give new meaning to the term killer heel. Not only is the height of that spike dizzying and may take your eye out but we would also kill for them (well not quite but you know how it is with women and their shoes...). These boots are one sharp slice of chic with angles and material choices that add them firmly to the love list. The pointed rubber toe, the low cut and the mix of rubber, zips and high shine patent leather are perfection.

Boots have done well for Burberry with every fashion editor pulling on a pair of the leather platform boots in winter. Perhaps these have just given the Burberry faithful their summer alternative. Retailing at £495 they are available from www.uk.burberry.com

Georgie loves these because...stepping out into the urban jungle requires some fierce footwear and these Alejandro Ingelmo cage sandals are just the most perfect pair for the job. With white Watersnake skin entwining the foot and ankle, a silver zip echoing the snake like shapes and one killer heel, these shoes give a powerful injection of sex appeal to any outfit. Retailing at £586.50 they are available from Luisaviaroma.com

Following in the footsteps of his great-grandfather who was a cobbler in Spain and inspired by the family's shoe business in Cuba, Alejandro tried to forge a different path into interior design. But during his degree a little extra class in shoe design ignited his passion for footwear. Quitting his studies, he promptly began designing and has become known for his statement stilettos.
