Absolutely Audrey's Shoe Clips

Such a smart shopper, you are. You laugh in the face of overpriced cashmere. Thumb your nose at stupid flash-in-the-pan trends. And you never buy new shoes.

Whoa. Back up there, sport. That’s taking it a little far, don’t you think?

Not if you know about Absolutely Audrey’s vintage-inspired shoe clips. Made of Swarovski crystals, the stylish ornaments turn old shoes into glamorous new ones. Available in a variety of shapes and styles like rings, flowers, and butterflies (our favorite), they spice up any pair of shoes, from ballet flats to mules to slinky stilettos.

And you realize, of course, that there’s no need to stop at your shoes. Clip them onto scarves, shirts, or your hair to create different looks. You may find that the extra adornment makes last year’s handbag feel new again.

Wow. Sometimes you outsmart even yourself.

Available at Brown Sugar, 1980 Union Street, suite 8, between Buchanan and Laguna Streets (415-346-3680); and Ooma, 1422 Grant Avenue, between Green and Union Streets (415-627-6963). To see styles or order online, go to absolutelyaudrey.com.
