Dare we say it…it’s party season! Yes we know we haven’t even hit December yet but we’re getting things started early. Before you get stuck into shopping for other people (we’re not going to mention the festive ‘C’ word!), why not use the early Autumnal months to treat yourself? We’ve got red-soled wonders, winged beauties, kitten-heeled trinkets and glittering visions, you won’t be able to resist! Here’s our pick of the best Cinderella worthy shoes hitting the shelves this season, here’s our Party Shoe Confidential!

Oh Sophia Webster, what are you trying to do to us?! We’re head over winged-heels for these Evangeline Winged Sandals (£395.00), talk about a show-stopper. Santa baby, are you listening?

If you’re on the lookout for something a little more sturdy, but equally as sensational, these Alaia Fringed Suede Sandals (£990.00) should do the trick!

Metallics are rife in the footwear world this season, and we could stock a shop full of silver shades alone so popular is the the colourway, but if you want to do things a little differently, try the Topshop Gallop Metallic Rose Gold Court Shoes (£58.00). You’ll get disbelieving exclamations of ‘Oh my gosh where are they from? Topshop?! No!!’ so often you’ll stop counting.

It’s often difficult to find that ‘different’ look when it comes to shoes and the high street but the Miss KG Grace Gold Occasion Shoes (£90.00) have it sussed. They’re individual yet classic in the same breath.

Sometimes the thought of heels after a trying day at work can turn that formerly exciting party into a vision of impending doom. For such situations the eloquent Tory Burch is always at hand, and none more so than with her Nicki Leopard Print Flats (£235.00).

Classic with a classic twist. That’s the only way we can describe these Nicholas Kirkwood Pearl Platform Satin Pumps (£585.00). We can’t stop looking at them, so imagine what would happen if they magically appeared in our wardrobe! We may not leave the house! Unless to wear them of course.

There’s something discretely rock chick about these Sam Edelmen Desiree Pumps (£145.00). It’s mesh, it’s leather, it’s stiletto, but somehow it’s also beautifully feminine. They’re pretty much the party shoe version of Blondie.

If we’re being entirely practical about these Charlotte Olympia Soho Lace Print & PVC Pumps (£765.00), they’re PVC, and thus the perfect party shoe antidote to those rainy days of the latter months. But who can be practical about fuchsia PVC, lace and studs?!

If you’re a lucky lucky tall girl, or a little less used to wearing stiletto sky scrapers, these Dune Blitzen Gold Kitten Heels (£69.00) might just be the answer.

And for the grande finale….Christian Louboutin of course. Introducing the Bille et Boule Multi Pumps (£845.00). No more words. Just look at them.
