    marc jacobs heart shoes Marc Jacobs heart platform sandalsI expect there are some people out there who will absolutely love these shoes. I’m not one of them, though: while, generally speaking, hearts-on-shoes tend to set MY heart all a-flutter, these ones are garish, loud, and just a little bit tacky. Or maybe a LOT tacky, depending on your opinion.

    The fact that they’ve been heavily discounted over at The Outnet makes me suspect I’m not the only one to feel this way about them – they were £705 and are now £211. That’s still pretty expensive, though, especially for a shoe that’s probably not going to be the most versatile style out there.

    Want them? Get them here, if so.

    marc jacobs black court sho Marc by Marc Jacobs black and white pumpsA slightly different take on the bow-fronted court shoe trend, these Marc by Marc Jacobs court shoes look like they’re all dressed up in a dinner jacket and bow tie (albeit a two-toned one), ready for an evening out. They’re a little more grown-up than some of the styles we’ve come to expect from the Marc by Marc line, but that may not be such a bad thing, depending on your point of view. I think these are cute, and just a little bit quirky: they’re $370 at Zappos.

    marc jacobs jewelled wedges Marc Jacobs jewelled wedge sandals

    I’ve been so desperate for some new stock to arrive at my favourite shoe stores (I absolutely hate this time of year, when all that’s available is the last dregs of the sale stock!) that I’m willing to overlook the fact that most of said new arrivals are far too summery/dressy to fit my current lifestyle, which involves being snow-bound for days on end. (I haven’t left the house now since January 2nd. Whoops.)

    These Marc Jacobs sandals are new in at Net-a-Porter, and instantly caught my eye with their metallic uppers and jewelled fronts. Marc Jacobs can be very hit or miss, I find, but I think these are a definite hit – or at least, they would be if they weren’t £460!

    marc jacobs thigh highs Marc Jacobs purple suede thigh high boots

    Well, it looks like Marc Jacobs is determined to add the strange, turned-up toe to EVERYTHING this season.

    Why, Marc? Why? Why must you lace your regular moments of genius with a large dollop of “ridiculous”. You see, I’d love these boost if it wasn’t for that toe. I love the colour. I love the fact that they’re suede, which always seems like a more wearable option than leather when it comes to thigh highs. I love the height, and the fact that they have a wide, Puss-in-Boots style top, rather than one that hugs the leg. And actually, I don’t really hate the toes – or not as much as I did when I first laid eyes on them, anyway. But the thing is, if I owned these, I just know that every time I looked at them I’d think, “If only they didn’t have those turned-up toes on them”, and if I was paying £1,260 for a pair of boots, they’d have to be pretty damn perfect.

    The Shoes from the Shows: Marc Jacobs S/S 2010 at London Fashion Week

    Those of you who don’t like heels, take heart: Marc Jacobs sent almost all of his models down the runway at his New York Fashion Week show this week in flip-flops or flats, so maybe next summer is going to be an altogether more casual affair than this one was, with all of those high heeled gladiator sandals!

    Of course, this being Marc Jacobs, these were no ordinary flip flops: the ones shown above have an odd kind of “overhang”, which makes it look a little like the model’s heel is hanging over the too-small sole. I suspect this won’t go down well with many of you, but of course you can feel free to prove me wrong! One more under the jump…

    marc jacobs wedge heel boot Marc Jacobs front tie platform wedge bootsAfter a couple of recent misfires from Mr Marc Jacobs, here’s a pair of boots I actually like, although not without reservtions: the square toe is a little clumsy looking, and if you worry about cankles, I don’t think the positioning of that tie will do much to reassure you on that score. I do, however, really like the wedge heel and the red colour of the boot on the left. What I don’t like is the price – these are £550 at Shopbop.

    marc jacobs peep toe ankle Marc by Marc Jacobs suede peep toe boots

    Another unusual heel from Marc Jacobs, but I like these a whole lot more than some of the “table leg” heels he’s been coming out with – or, indeed, the “surreal heel” of a couple of years ago. In fact, I was actually starting to get quite enthusiastic about these ankle boots until the dreaded peep toe reared its head toe. The curved shape of the sides is fabulous, the heel is growing on me… but seriously, how many pairs of peep toe boots can the shoe world churn out? WE GET IT, shoe designers: you’ve worked out how to cut holes in boots! You’re really clever! Now fill them back in, please, before our toes fall off. Thanks.

    marc jacobs runway ankle bo Ugly Shoes: Marc Jacobs Runway ankle boots with turned up toe

    I don’t know about you, but I think this should’ve been a pretty clear case of “what happens on the runway, stays on the runway”. No?

    Not so Marc Jacobs. Far from leaving them on the runway, where they so clearly belong (and maybe not even there, to be honest), he’s decided the general public need access to them too. This member of the general public is going to be saying “Thanks, but no thanks” to that, but if you’re ready and willing to snap them up, they’re $845 at Saks.
