At last weekend’s Vogue Festival, all the Voguettes wore spike-toed pumps with stabby heels: polished, powerful, but a little bit punk. Which chimes nicely with May's major fashion theme - it's punk month people! As the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gets ready to unveil its Punk: From Chaos To Couture exhibition, designers have rushed to join in on the rebel rousing. And while some go the whole head-to-heel hog, other are just dipping a toe in, literally and figuratively speaking.

If you can’t see yourself swathed in tartan bondage pants and safety pin dresses, focus on footwear instead. The Vogue girls went for white stilettos, which added just enough attitude to their otherwise ladylike pleated skirts and sheath dresses. Especially when teamed with off-beat ankle socks (as seen on fashion director Lucinda Chambers - a style maverick if ever there was one). Meanwhile, studded stilettos continue to have a moment. Valentino's cult T-straps sprinkled with metal pyramids mix grown up luxe with a youthful spirit - no wonder they're selling in their thousands. Ditto Christian Louboutin 's studded heels, which are the perfect foil to a prim dress.

But of course, it's not all about heels. Dr Martens have always been the shoe of choice for hardcore punks, now they come adorned with black metal studs for punk with extra punch. Possibly, most wearable of all though are the pointy, buckle-strapped ankle boots beloved of uptown girls and Camden kids alike. Back in the day, all the indie kids would buy theirs at Kensington Market, now the fash pack bulk buy the posh versions by Toga and Tabitha Simmons.  Naturally, the high street pays its own tribute, with buckled flats offered by Office, Topshop, New Look and Aldo. How to wear? With straight tailored trousers, second-skin jeans, floral dresses, silk onesies – in fact, anything you fancy. Well what’s the legacy of punk, if not a can-do attitude to do things your own way?

One of the best things about the advances in technology over the last few years has to be the fab accessories that go with them. Whether it a jewelled iPhone case or a personalised leather iPad sleeve, women have fully embraced the new ‘tech accessory’. With both designer and high street brands now regularly including them in their collections, these accessories are an easy way to tap into the trends. If like us, you love the colour blocking seen on the SS13 catwalks at Sportsmax and Roksanda Illincic, you will love our pick of the top 5 colourful cases on eBay. Team these with outfits of the same colour for a top to toe look, (particularly on trend in white or red) or as flashes of colour with a monochrome look.

This weekend sees the return of the hotly anticipated Vogue Festival. With an amazing line up of speakers from Victoria Beckham to Cara Delevingne it is the hottest ticket around after Fashion Week.

This will be a fashion-y affair so choose your outfit as you would for the front row. We love this pastel boucle mini skirt, team it with a western blouse and brogues for a chic but casual look.  Top it off with tortoiseshell cat eye sunnies.

Many talks still have tickets available so snap them up now before they go.
