If the summer won't play nice then we'll get our summery kicks with these Pollini heels instead.

Under the direction of Nicholas Kirkwood these Pollini suede shoes in bright pink bring colour to the dullest of days.

Our favourite feature? The chunky angular heel and playful tassels. Hot to trot.

Sculpted heels from Sergio Rossi provide an instant guarantee of getting gawped at when you step out in them.

Bound to elicit more than a few stares from envious shoe lovers these are not your usual stilettos. Sergio Rossi takes the bright white shoes and twists it into a fluid swirl edged with black piping.

Sergio Rossi began his career in the 1950s working alongside his father, a shoemaker in Italy. In the summer of 1966, Rossi began selling his shoes to shops in Bologna. He worked closely with Versace and during the 1980s became closely linked with some of the leading design houses in the fashion industry, producing shoes for the collections of Dolce 6 Gabbana (from 1989 to 1999) and Azzedine Alaia.

In 2008 Francesco Russo who studied at Milan's Marangoni Institute and has designed footwear under Stefano Pilati at Yves Saint Laurent since 2000 was named creative director of the label.

Taking classic black ankle boots to another level, the yellow fur trim of these Gina ankle boots is a playful take on warm, cosy sheepskin.

The yellow fur adds a quirky twist to a ladylike AW essential with a subtly sexy edge. We love the thought of skinny trousers tucked into these boots or paired with a pencil skirt for a steamlined look with a sprinkling of luxe drama.
