Fancy Up Your Feet

Don't you hate it when your favorite new shoes (that you paid way too much for), get boring and end up in the back of your closet? Well, we have come up with the perfect fix to snap those shoes that are oh-so-last-season, into the hottest shoes in your footwear arsenal.

Brace yourselves for what I'm going to suggest: SHOE CLIPS!

Yes, shoe clips. I think every single one of our grandmas wore shoe clips. But don't cringe at the memory of your grandmas tiny rhinestone shoe clips, shoe clips have been updated to suit just about anyones style. From sparkling rhinestones, to leopard print ribbon, to authentic shells, beads and tassels, we've found some very haute shoe clips that will match any trend, style and personality. At Aliza Darik you can find a wide variety of shoes clips ranging from traditional and conservative to wild and bold. We LOVE the bow shoe clips worn on the back of knee high boots!

Aliza Darik's shoe clips can run a bit on the pricy side, with the average pair of shoe clips costing $25 - $30. So, if you're on a budget, you can score a bargain on shoe clips on eBay. Or if you're feeling creative, drop in to your local craft store and make your own one-of-a-kind shoe clips!

SpoonFed Pendants

Not exactly art you can eat, but SpoonFed Art is artful jewerly made from eating utensils. Specificially spoons.

Each SpoonFed pendant started out as a spoon before designer Karin Collins got her hot little hands on them. The handle of each spoon has been removed and curved into the bale for the pendant. Then, the spoon is decorated with trinkets, magazine clippings, beads, jewels or just about anything else you can image. Each SpoonFed pendant is one of a kind, making this wearable art just that much more unique. Prices start at $85 and the price includes a black or white cord, ribbon or keyring to go along with the pendant. Pendants can be purchased at SpoonFedArt.com.

Even more interesting is the story behind how SpoonFed was born. Karin Collins began making these pendants many years ago as therapy to sooth her battle with an eating disorder, which gives even more meaning to the spoon-base of these pendants. SpoonFed Art is a member of NEDA, The National Eating Disorders Association.
