The LA Times featured an article on Mary Janes this Sunday, 12/2/07 - Highs and Lows

Here are some styling guidelines when wearing mary jane shoes:

Tights - Go with leggings in black and solid dark colors. Avoid loud prints and stripes. You don’t want to look like a candystriper!
Cigarette pants - Skinny pants + mary janes accentuate a slim silhouette.
Pencil skirts and shift dresses - Again you’re going for a slim look - emphasis on the vertical lines.
Bonus tip - Jeans - The black mary janes pair perfectly with your favorite slim fitting jeans. Think classic Levi’s.

Women’s soldier costumes have one thing in common - camouflauge. Whether its a full camo jumpsuit or a sexy camo tanktop and short shorts, camo is the common theme here. You can top off the outfit with a camo cap, a machine gun magazine, or a military style utility belt.

But instead of standard military boots you may want to try these funky camo green mary janes. They’re made of cotton and are very lightweight and comfortable.

Geisha costumes are some of the most popular Halloween costumes this year. These costumes consist of a Japanese kimono or Chinese qi pao (cheong sam) in traditional colors such as red or white. The geisha costume may have embroidered chrysanthemum or cherry blossom flower details. Kimonos typically have a thick sash that ties around the waist to keep the outfit in place.

If you’re dressing up as a Geisha this year, don’t forget the matching geisha shoes! Avenue 26 carries satin mary janes and ballet flats with embroidered flowers that would match perfectly with your geisha costume. We have them in red, black, and pink. We also have them in girls sizes for children’s costumes.
