A Mary Jane court shoe with a d'orsay cut sounds like something that wouldn't work, but leave it to Miu Miu to make it! While traditional Mary Janes tend to be more "cute" than "sexy", these MJs totally buck the trend, giving us a high, strappy sandal with two buckle straps and a gorgeous patent finish. This colour is called 'dusty rose', and they're also available in a dove grey. I'm not sure which I like best, but as the rose colour would be great for parties and weddings and the grey could be worn to work, I guess there's always an excuse to buy both - but only if you can justify paying $450 twice. If you can, you'll find them at Neiman Marcus.

No, that's not a typo in the headline, "Toxxic" is indeed the name of these Michael Antonio Mary Janes - whether you find them 'toxic' or not is, of course, up to you! These are only $34.99 but the high red platform makes them look a tad more expensive, and a world away from some of the more demure Mary Janes out there. Get them from Cutesy Girl.

I know those of us in the UK still aren't getting much in the way of spring weather, but let's just pretend, shall we, and admire these lovely green pearlised Mary Janes from Go Jane, which would be perfect with any number of spring outfits. Priced at a shockingly low $16.99 (I thought the price must be a typo when I first looked at it, but it's actually a sale price), I'm not sure what the quality of these will be like, but the style is certainly pretty and they're also available in bright pink, if you're not keen on green.

High heeled Mary Janes are hugely popular at the moment, but the flat version is where the style started, so I thought we'd feature these All Black flats for this Mary Jane Monday. As cute as these are, with their velvet uppers and metallic straps, this can be a difficult style to wear as it can look very childish, so if you're going to try these I'd suggest making sure the rest of your outfit is suitably "grown up", with maybe some capri length trousers or a slim cut skirt, rather than anything too "little girl" like. The shoes are $80.47 at Amazon.

Featuring a peep toe that's very like that on YSL's famous Tribute platforms, these teal Mary Janes from Charotte Russe come nowhere near YSL's price range: they're only $22.99, which is budget priced indeed. Unsurprisingly, these are made of fake leather, but they come in either black, teal or white, and certainly look more expensive than the price suggests, in the photo at least.

We had a brief glimpse of J. Crew's patent peep toe Mary Janes last week, but I thought they deserved a closer look, so here they are in two of the colours they're currently available in. You can also buy these babies in bright yellow and black patent, and the style is also available in a linen fabric in yellow orange and white. They're $198 in patent, and $235 in linen, and you pick them up at the J Crew website.

Thanks to Easter Monday, we didn't get our weekly dose of Mary Janes last week, but these are so stunningly gorgeous that I'm sure they'll make up for it! Part of the Poste Mistress range, they are, I think, the most beautiful multiple-strap MJs I've ever seen! Featuring a mix of suede and metallic purple leather, they're rounded off with a stunning floral detail on the clasp. If they've won your heart, 'Ryslip' is £85 from Office.
