Shoe clips may have reached the height of popularity in the 1950s and '60s, but I'm pushing for a resurgence. Last month, I added a glimmer to a pair of simple pumps with vintage clip-on earrings. Since then, I've been introduced to the Web's shoe clip emporium: ShoeClips.biz. Lynn generously sent two pairs of clips for review (and added a gift certificate to give away!) - and I've been having an absolute blast. It feels like I've tripled my shoe collection.

Each clip's embellishment is attached to a felt backing and a sturdy clip. You'll notice that part of the clip is smooth, ensuring that your shoes don't get scratched when it's clipped on.

One of the pairs Lynn sent were the black rabbit fur clips. The little puffs of fluff easily transform a pair of simple black flats into something more luxurious. And for only $25, you can get the look of the Jeffrey Campbell Francis ballet flats for a fraction of the price.

The other pair I tried were the feather clips - an absolutely stunning enhancement to an evening shoe.

Trying the clips on different shoes - and in different places - yields unexpectedly gorgeous results. I'm quite fond of the feather pair clipped to the back of simple black pumps. It's reminiscent of the Yves Saint Laurent fur trim pumps, but much more wearable.
