Archive for January 2010

Whether you are getting married this year, or just attending a special event, it is always helpful to know quick and easy ways to look amazing with stuff you already own.  Shoes are always going to be important no matter what the outfit or occasion, and that’s why it is well worth an extra couple of minutes to make sure you get it right.

When it comes to special occasion shoes, you have 2 choices.  By something in a retail store,  or you can improve the shoes you already own.

A great way to do this is simply by adding Shoe clips! Not only can you use shoe clips on different shoes, they easily can be taken off and you have your original shoes back.  You can easily go from Day to Night with these.

These particular shoes are plain,  inexpensive, black satin shoes.  The shoe clips are plain metal, you can buy a pack of 12- 6 gold and 6 silver for around $4.99 on ebay or your nearest craft store.

Now if you like this look, the fun and easy part includes gluing (using a 2-part epoxy glue) a Crystallized(TM) Swarovski (4759) 28mm Flat Back Fancy Stone onto each shoe clip.  Give the glue about 15 minutes to dry and just clip!  And your done!
