Mary Jane Monday - Dune's 'Khloe' wedge-heeled MJs
"What's better than a Mary Jane?" one might well ask. Well, we have the answer for you: a pair of Mary Janes on sale! For this week's pick, we thought we'd take advantage of the slew of bargains to be had on the high street in the post-Christmas sales (our favourite time of year!) - and this pair is a doozy straight from the shelves of Dune. With a fabulously high wedge heel...

Police Step Up Efforts Against Counterfeit Handbag Smugglers
Did you know that in the state of Florida if you knowingly buy a fake handbag you can be arrested? I think this would be a very hard case to prove - unless someone says to a witness "I just bought the most lovely fake Louis Vuitton!"
On a side note, the counterfeiters are out in full force (or else the cops are being even more vigilant) for the holiday season. There was a huge bust at a flea market in Coral Springs, Florida where undercover agents bought fake Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Coach, Prada, and Kate Spade handbags. Over a million dollars worth of goods were confiscated.
The seller was warned with a "Cease and Desist" order but he ignored the paperwork and continued selling. He also refused to say where he got the illegal handbags and faces up to 5 years in jail for every counterfeit brand that he sold.
Another huge bust happened 4 days ago at the port of Newark, New Jersey. Fake handbags made in China were being smuggled into the country in boxes labeled "noodles". This arrest was based on an undercover sting operation where agents posed as corrupt custom officials and were bribed with more than $500,000 in US currency. Estimates are that the counterfeit goods were worth around 200 million dollars and each defendant in this case faces a possible 35 years in jail.

Nine West make the perfect disco shoes: 'Don't Lie' sandals with sequin panel
It may be completely the wrong shape, but the triangular sequined panel on the front of Nine West's 'Don't Lie' sandals reminds me of a disco ball. It looks like it's been put there purely to catch the lights as you dance, so if you don't like to draw too

Yay or Nay Wednesday
According to last week's Yay or Nay, Marni is still just a bit too controversial a designer for most of our lovely readers!

They're 237 from Net-A-Porter.This week's offering...

Another week closer to Christmas, another pair of party shoes to adorn your feet! Purple is certainly big news this season, and if you're going to share in a piece of the purple pie, then why not make it a peep-toe? These wedges from Dorothy Perkins are classic in style, although the heel is a little unusual. It's the jewel-toned embellishments on the dark purple base, though, that make these more eye-catching than the usual metallic affairs we've been seeing in jewelled styles.
