These flowering Prada sandals are a long way away from last summer's towering platforms and chunky heels. Following on from the rhinestones and gems of their jewellery collection, these pale pink sling-back sandals carry the same jeweled rose theme. Wear them when sashaying by the swimming pool or daintily crossing your legs underneath sunray-pleated skirts, teacup in hand. This cotton-candy-coloured pair is delicate, light, and an overdose of sweetness, exactly the way Prada serves it. And it always makes us want more.

This season, it's almost impossible not to fall for the underwater trend. What little girl didn't watch Ariel and want a mermaid tail and just who doesn't want to remind themselves of seaside holidays and swimming in clear blue seas every time they dress?

Certainly Charlotte Olympia knows just this and true to form she's created another covetable collection. It's the fresh green shell toed shoes that caught our eye. Olympia's created a luxurious yet wearable pair and injected a little je ne sais quoi with the quirky details. We love the mix of gold and the bright colour... though we'd still like that tail.

Anyone who keeps an eye on what's hot in the world of footwear will know that these Rupert Sanderson shoes for Osman are the sandal shape of choice right now.

Just take a look at the feet of editors, bloggers and stylists and you'll find that clean lined strappy sandals are always getting an airing. Sanderson created his minimal sandy coloured pair for Osman's SS12 runway to perfectly offset floaty lemon yellow dresses and smart electric blue trousers. He's since got us craving balmy summer nights to banish winter for good and give these beauts a spin.
