Mary Jane Monday: Fluoro Fluevog bow sandals

fluevog.jpgCan you believe these crazy day-glo sandals? You'd better, because they're right here in front of your eyes, and they're not going to vanish when you blink. The statement-making shoes by John Fluevog are typical of the brands bold, chunky style but with an extra ounce of cute supplied by a pair of bows that Hello Kitty would be proud of.

If you like the style but won't do pink, they're available in a very emo-friendly black and grey, too.

$159 at Fluevog

Mary Jane Monday: Astounding wedges from Carvela

CarvelaAstoundWedge.jpgIf ever a shoe lived up to its name, it's these 'Astound' wedges at £140 from Carvela, because I am astounded anyone could actually walk in them.

That is a 5.9 inch heel people. Almost 6 inches. If I feared of death by shoe, you would not see these on my feet.

A drastic spin on the classic mary jane, these are more 'back to my job as a stripper' then 'back to school'. With three patent leather straps and a peep toe, these are definitely shoes for wanting to be seen in. If you want to make sure everyones eyes are on you, they come in red too!

Mary Jane Monday: Minna Parikka patents

minna-parikka.jpgWho could possibly resist these ravishing red patent shoes with a heart (we always love a heart) by Minna Parikka? The perfectly beautiful stilettos are available at Tatty Devine boutique, where they cost an ouchy (but worth it) £210, and will make you feel every bit a starlet. I can imagine wearing these with reds, whites and ginham blues in summer or a little black dress in winter. A wonderful twist on the classic high heel. [Via Domestic Sluttery]

Mary Jane Monday: Rupert Sanderson lizard MJs

rupert-sanderson.jpgWhatever you do to a pair of Mary Janes, it's hard not to make them look a little bit girly, but this is probably the most grown-up looking pair I've ever seen. They're by Rupert Sanderson and their uppers are grey lizard, with an unusual cut-out bit at the back and skinny stiletto heel.

The grey/black on lemon shade makes these a very seasonal shoe that could be worn with sheer or block-coloured hosiery. £650 at Browns

Dune's 'Klaudia' oversized corsage-trim sandals


dune-klaudia.jpgI know, it's another flower-trimmed sandal, but seriously, how could anyone resist these 'Klaudia' sandals from Dune? They're just so bright and sunny, especially in this yellow colour (they're also available in black and pink) that they make me want to throw them on with a big-skirted sundress and ... oh, I don't know, go for a picnic? Drink Pimms on the lawn? Sadly, the weather isn't quite warm enough for any of that, but these will make fabulous special-occasion shoes, and will help put a bit of a spring into your step. They're £85 from Dune.
