Mary Jane Monday: Juice contrast Mary Janes from Topshop

juice-contracst-mary-janes.jpg

These shoes are more or less the "mullets" of the Mary Jane world, all buiness in the front and party at the back! At first glance, the slightly sensible shape doesn't seem to lend itself to the sparkly heel, but now that I've seen them a few times, I'm starting to really like them, and think the heel gives a nice, unexpected twist to what could have been accused of being just a little bit boring otherwise.

They're £55 from Topshop.

Two-tone bar shoes from Oli

37D831OLIL.jpgOli's new season catalogue just dropped through my door, and one of the many shoe styles to catch my eye inside was these two-tone bar shoes, which retail for £35. I love black and white used together on shoes, and these are nicely dramatic without being over the top.

Oli also have a version of these which is black with a cream coloured strap and heel, and equally pretty!

Mary Jane Monday (on Tuesday) - Jimmy Choo 'Kindle' patent Mary Janes

jimmy-choo-kindle-mary-jane.jpgTechnical issues prevented us from bringing you your regularly-scheduled Mary Jane love-in yesterday, so rather than let you go without, here's a picture of Jimmy Choo's 'Kindle' patent Mary Janes to make up for it.

These are classic in shape, but sometimes you need a little bit of classic Mary Jane shape in your life, and if you do, you can buy these at Net-a-Porter, where the bad news is that they'll set you back £350.

Metallic leather 'Cleo' Mary Janes by Jonathan Kelsey

jonathan-kelsey-cleo.jpgThese are billed as "Mary Janes", but they're so far removed from the conventional Mary Jane shape we've come to know and love as to be almost unrecognisable. They're Jonathan Kelsey's 'Cleo' heels, they're exclusive to Saks Fifth Avenue, and they're $695. If the price doesn't put you off, however, you'll get yourself an unusual, yet very wearable, shoe in a lovely metallic leather that should prove very versatile.

Mary Jane Monday: Five pairs of red Mary Janes

red-glinda-mary-janes.jpgThis Monday we thought we'd bring you a pop of colour with your regularly scheduled Mary Jane fix, so here are five pairs of red shoes to brighten your day.

These 'Glinda' shoes from Amazon are the ultimate 'Dorothy' shoes, with all that red glitter. That's going to make them totally impractical for all but the very glitziest of occasions, of course, but I don't think a roundup of red Mary Janes would be complete without them, do you? Read on for some more...

Mary Jane Monday

ysl_mary_janes.jpgWhat's the only thing better than a beautiful pair of Mary Janes? Five beautiful pairs of Mary Janes, of course, which is why we're giving you five whole pairs to admire on this Mary Jane Monday, rather than just one.

Take a look under the jump to see some more styles, kicking off with my favourites, these nude patent platform Mary Janes by Yves St. Laurent. Also available in black, they have a crescent toe and delicate stiletto heel. They're absolutely gorgeous, which is why it should come as no surprise that they cost $595...

Juicy Couture golden vintage 'Marlee' pumps

juicy couture marlee.jpgMultistrap Mary-Janes are not on their way out just yet! At least, not until I've got my hands on a pair of these cheeky and totally glam 'Marlee' shoes by Juicy Couture.

It's the gold-plated look that gives these pumps their 'vintage' look, and the cute flower cut-out detail on the toe gives them the edge over the many similar styles out there. I reckon they'd be pretty hard-wearing too, and look sturdy enough to survive any night on the town.
