Let’s talk about the “Mouse” shoe. The leather ‘whisker’ originating the ‘mouse’ designation:

mbmj classic mouse

Available in Brown or Blue stamped leather ($237) and Cracked metallic bronze (222.50) at Net-a-porter.

 Mark Jacobs updated it playfully last fall with full mousy features, including 3-dimensional ears.

Available in a basic flat style at Zappos ($243.46) or Shopbop ($325); or in a slingback style, at Net-a-porter ($227.50).

Now, Mr. Jacobs has taken the mouse & flattened it again; this time with the look of  ‘drawn on’ stitching which creates a cute illusion of 3-dimensional ears and tail:

Available for $250 at Shoes.com, Piperlime, and Shopbop, among others.

And, just when I thought that was enough variety for any shopper, along comes the Jelly Mouse:

My, Oh my! Almost speechless here.

Oh, and the vinyl and jewelled shoes from an earlier blog? On sale today at Saks for $165.90 for the D’orsay & $107.90 for the flat. Happy shopping Cinderella.
