With the weather gradually turning warmer, lets look at what shoe trends we will be wearing in Spring and Summer 2009.

Embrace fashion’s softer side in tones of café au lait. Shoes in flesh tones elongate the leg and will make your summer tan look even hotter. Seduce 420 comes in both Tan and Taupe Leather.

Catwalks have been showing the brightest hues for Summer ’09; confident ladies with a love for acid brights should try Seduce 420 in Hot Pink Patent or Heat 01 in Yellow Patent. And for those truly wanting to embrace this outrageous palette, check out the Seduce 2000 Stretch Fashion Patent range which comes in Orange, Yellow and Lime.

Metallics were popular in last Winter and this trend will carry through the warmer months. Vanity 420 and Jewel 22 come in gorgeous, attention-grabbing metallics.

Colour blocking is the hottest trend this season. Loud and proud colour combinations make for a dynamic, confident look. Check out Vanity 425, Desire 117 and Seduce 458.

Perhaps the sexiest look on this season’s catwalks has been sky-high heels. If you’ve got a head for heights, recreate the look with Cover Girl 609.

SexyShoes.co.uk recently conducted a survey asking 100 women whether they thought a pair of thigh high boots were fabulously stylish or just plain freaky.

With thigh high boots being a “statement” style of footwear, they can easily be branded as a freaky fetish boot, where as others would call them a great fashion accessory to complete an outfit turning it from simple to sexy.

61% of women said that they thought thigh high boots were fabulous and here are some of their comments:

Stacey, 26
“I love thigh high boots, I wouldn’t necessarily wear them out all the time but to the right place and with the right outfit they can look great. I am quite short so thigh high boots make me look a look taller I think, though some of my mates who have long legs love them too as they are drawing focus to their legs”

Andrea, 29
“My boyfriend loves me wearing thigh high boots, he says that they make me look really sexy, I feel confident in them and I think they look great on me”

Samantha, 31
“Thigh high boots are great, of course they are fabulous. Whatever others say, everyone knows that a girl wearing a gorgeous pair of thigh high boots will get peoples heads turning”

Mandy, 24
“I think that thigh high boots are gorgeous, they can turn a boring outfit into an eye catching one. I get that some people think that thigh high boots have a “slutty” stereotype to them but I think now they are a lot of mainstream and look great on a night out”

39% of women said that they thought thigh high boots were just plain freaky and here are some of their comments:

Emma, 34
“I think thigh high boots are awful, they just look so cheap when girls wear them, definitely a no go”

Vikki, 28
“I would never have the guts to wear thigh high boots. They are just far too fetishy for me”

Heather, 22
“I think on some women thigh high boots can look ok but if I wore them it would just make me look slutty. If you got a quirky kind of style then yea but everyone else should stay well clear of thigh high boots”

Rachel, 29
“I can’t stand thigh highs. I think they look terrible. Fair enough if a women wants to wear them for her man in the bedroom, but they should never be worn out…EVER”

So we all loved our fab four ladies – strutting their stuff through Manhattan, but what have we learnt from them?

Well above all we have learnt that fashion is the key to living in any major city!

Whether it’s London, Paris or New York, style is an absolute must have to become a true Sex and the City gal.

So where do we begin – well let’s begin where Carrie began with all her outfits…. SHOES!

The right pair of shoes can turn an outfit from simple to sensational.

High heels are a must have, we never saw Carrie prancing around in Ugg boots or flats did we?

Carrie loved her high heels… And we all know why, because a pair of fabulous high heels can get a man to drop to your feet… even Mr Big himself, well eventually!

All of the fab four showed us what true style is all about but Carrie was our number one style queen.

With her gorgeous Manolo Blahniks and her quirky style, Carrie taught us that a pair of high heels can go a long way - but not all of us “city gals” can afford Jimmy Choos and Manolo Blahniks. We know that living in the city is an expensive lifestyle but lucky for us there are many high heels out there that can pull off the “city gal look” at a more affordable price.

We have looked around to find some of the best high heel shoes around to help you get that true city look and have come across a fantastic shoes website:

www.SexyShoes.co.uk

These offer a range of high heel shoes ideal for us city gals out there.

Ok, that’s shoes – what else have we learnt from their style???

Never wear a hair scrunchy!!! Enough said!

Everything comes back in style so keep those clothes and shoes that are out of fashion at the moment and wait a few years to wear them again.

Big 50’s dresses are ideal for special occasions – We can never forget Carrie in those stunning big dresses with a lovely pair of high heel sandals. Keep these purely for those special occasions!

High Heels go with everything – all 4 ladies lived in high heels!

Look fabulous day and night – you never know who is going to be knocking at your door.

Real fur is a BIG no no – Samantha learnt this when she had red paint thrown over her fur coat.

Update your hair style regularly – Carrie demonstrated long, short, mid length, curly, straight, pulled back, let loose. Don’t stick to one look, keep it interesting.

Accessorise your outfits – with a nice pair of high heels, belts, jewellery or Samantha’s favourite… a fabulous bag.

Have a trademark item – for Carrie it was her Carrie necklace!

Sunglasses – the bigger the better!
And finally – no girl can ever have too many shoes!
