Mary Jane Monday: Thakoon mirror mosaic sandals

thakoon-shoes.jpgWe've all heard of polishing your shoes so well that you can see your reflection in them, but these sandals from Thakoon really take that concept to another level: they're completely covered in mirror mosaic tiles that reflect the world perfectly, with a super shiny heel to match.

With a hint of Art Deco and more than a passing ressemblance to a disco ball, these stunning sandals have got to be the ultimate party shoes. They're brand new from Thakoon, who also relesed a pair of dazzling ankle boots in the same ultra-reflective materials. Sadly, this isn't a style I can see the highstreet pulling off with much panache...

£875 at Net-a-Porter

Cindy Crawford hits the red carpet in Jimmy Choo "Keenan" caged sandals

One glance at Cindy Crawford and it's hard to believe that the former supermodel is 43 years old. Looking stunning in a black plunging halterneck dress, Crawford attended the premiere afterparty of Fantastic Mr Fox in London wearing a pair of Jimmy Choo "Keenan" caged sandals. A great investment item, these patent leather peep toe sandals are the perfect versatile sandal to wear from the office to the bar. They retail for £652.57, and are available in black and metallic.

Not-so-casual Friday: Marc by Marc Jacobs platinum leather heels

platinum.jpgWhatever you're planning on doing this weekend, imagine kicking it off in these smooth, glossy shoes by Marc Jacobs.

We've seen a few loafer-style high heels recently, some that work, some that look uncomfortably like two very different shoes stuck together. But it's the colour and quality of the leather that really makes these shoes beautiful. Platinum will always be classier than gold!

Catwalk Report: Grunge meets girly glamour at Jean Paul Gaultier

jpg.jpg[images: Coutorture]

Jean Paul Gaultier is really in his element at the moment, designing cone bras, bondage tops and neon orange hot-pants (and getting away with it) and he's having an awful lot of fun with the models' feet, too.

At his recent spring/summer 2010 show in Paris, there were two main styles on show: sturdy, strappy work boots and delicate, minimalist ribbon-tie shoes in various colours. All footwear was set off by bold, block colour tights with Henry-Hollands style trompe trompe l'oeil hosiery effects. I particularly love the cut-out DM boot.
