Trend: High-heeled Mary Janes
Written by Tania Braukamper
Have you noticed that Mary-Jane has had a make over? Once confined to school-girls and church-goers, Mary Jane shoes are now adorning the feet of celebrities, starlets and wild child party animals everywhere.
Kate Bosworth was spotted in a metallic pair of sky-high Mary Janes at the Met Gala ball this year, while Diane Kruger, Mischa Barton and the Olsen Twins are also fans. Patent are definitely big, as are metallics. Some top picks:
Clockwise from left: Barbie Mary-Jane pumps by Theory, Manolo Blahnik Open-Toe Mary Jane Pump, Valentino Peep-Toes, DAVIS by Ruthie Davis Screen Mary Jane Pump, Christian Louboutin Patent Mary-Janes, and Studio Pollini Patent Pumps. Shoes available from Shop Bop, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue.

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania Braukamper certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels.
She says: Vintage will never go out of style
We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
