Party Shoes

One of the best things about New Look's credit crunch-friendly heels is that they don't look credit crunch-friendly. These strappy silver metallic sandals would give any high-end heels a run for their money – the fab cone-shaped silhouette is on-trend, along with the 70s-style power-platform.

With the likes of Victoria Beckham and the newly-fabulous Gwyneth Paltrow channelling the trend, snakeskin heels are the tootsies talent to be seen in, and they don't come much cuter than these bow-embellished beauties from River Island. Purse-pleasing and right on the fashion pulse – what's not to love?

Every girl worth her party salt needs a simple pair of metallic gold heels: they're a wardrobe staple. Aldo has a fabulous pair, which are very similar to the Jimmy Choo Elazer heel (available at net-a-porter.com). Trust us: they'll go with anything, and everything.

Credit crunch? What credit crunch? Sometimes, a girl just has to treat herself. And there's nothing better to do it with than a pair of to-die-for (or should we say to-debt-for?) Christian Louboutins. Love the silver accents and six-inch heels – you'll be head-and-shoulders above the rest, literally.

Gladiator heels were an instant style hit as soon as SJP popped a fabulous pair of Dior versions on her usually Blahnik-clad tootsies as the fashion-forward Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City: The Movie. The look filtered down to the high street – via pop stars like the Sugababes – and Asos now has one of the best copies going. Fierce and full of attitude, these shiny, faux snakeskin shoes will see you through party season with ease – not to mention chutzpah.
