Category Archives: Mary JanesForever 21 Mary Jane Posy Platform Pumps
These shoes are a bit of a departure for Forever 21, but won’t be at all surprising to anyone who’s been following footwear trends over the last few months, because these have all the hallmarks of the 90s-influenced, quirky-patterned shoe we’ve come to associate, first with Miu Miu, and then with the various other brands who jumped on board the bandwagon. For me, these shoes are just a little - OK, a LOT – too much. Having experienced the fashions of the 90s first hand, I’ve no desire at all to have to see them all come back, and while clumpy shoes definitely have their moments, I don’t think this is one of them, although I’d be more than willing to change my mind if I see someone making these work. What do you think of them? If you love them, you can click here to buy them from Forever 21 for just $25.80. Most wanted from our sponsorsShoe Shopping With Shoeperwoman: New Look red bow Mary Janes
I didn’t manage to find the jeans I was looking for this weekend, but I did snap a quick picture of these sweet little red Mary Janes in New Look to show you. I couldn’t find these on the website yet, but I think they were about £20. They have a little bit of an Alice in Wonderland kind of feel too them: very girlish and cute! I didn’t buy them because they were a little bit too girlish for me, but they could make a nice, budget Ruby Shoesday option for some of you! As for what I did buy, well, I managed to show remarkable restraint, and all I came home with was this dress from the Topshop sale:
Don’t worry: it claims to be a “dress”, but I’m planning on wearing it as a slip – it was only £5, so I think for that price I can afford to wear an ”underwear as outerwear” dress as ACTUAL underwear!

Nina Ricci Calfskin Platform Mules With Bow
What does everyone think of these? I think I like them, but probably (read “definitely”) not enough to want to spend $795 on them. If you would, however, they’re by Nina Ricci, and you can buy yourself a pair here. Shoeperwoman to the Rescue! Red Mary Janes in Australia
Q: Where can I find a decently priced pair of red mary-jane type shoes? I live in Australia but am not adverse to online shopping. Also, I am not a fan of the platform or the super-high stiletto- probably why I am having such trouble finding these shoes! I have to confess, I had a lot of problems with this myself, because I know next to nothing about Australian-based stores and websites, which is why I’m hoping some of my Aussie readers will come to my rescue here! At the moment, the trend does tend to be for high platforms and heels, so Mary Janes without those are a little thin on the ground, too. I did manage to find these Carvela Mary Janes at ASOS.com, which ships to Australia: they’re down to £40, and most sizes still seem to be available. The heel is about 3.3″, which isn’t overly high, although obviously that’s a matter of opinion! Another option I thought of was to try some of the US-based departments stores: I know both Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom ship internationally, although Neiman’s doesn’t tend to be exactly “reasonably priced” and Nordstrom isn’t carrying any red Mary Janes that fit the bill at the moment (or not that I found, anyway): it could be worth keeping an eye on the site, though. Anyone else got any suggestions? Spotted any red Mary Janes, either in Australia, or available to ship there? Do tell…

Kurt Geiger ‘Cairo’ green suede peep toe Mary Janes
Seriously, stop it. I mean it, don’t make come over there. (No, really, don’t make me come over there: my self-control couldn’t handle it…)

Friday Night Louboutin Fix: Christian Louboutin ‘Melita 2′ Mary Janes in red and blue
Oh. My. GOD. I think that’s all I really need to say here, isn’t it? Not available online (or not at the time of writing, anyway), you can view these in more detail at Christian Louboutin’s official website. (Edited to add: I tried on a cream pair of these in Palm Beach this week and can confirm they’re just as beautiful in real life as they are here. If they’d only had the red or blue, I don’t think I’d have been able to resist!)

Miu Miu satin cat-print Mary Janes
Actually, it’s not just the print that might appeal, here: the shape of the shoe also strikes me as a little bit child-like, high heel aside. This, of course, is one of Miu Miu’s statement prints of the season (the other one being the bird-print I featured not so long ago). It’s definitely very quirky and quite refreshing, and I find the cats themselves super-cute. The shoes, though? Let’s just say they’re not my favourite Miu Miu’s, although I know a lot of people could really make these work. Are you one of them? Friday Night Louboutin Fix: Christian Louboutin Relika platform Mary Jane pumps in nude patent leather
These just became my favourite pair of Mary Janes. Like, EVER. Or until next week’s Friday Night Louboutin Fix, at least. Now, does anyone happen to have a spare $835 they don’t have a use for at the moment? Anyone? Get them at Saks.
