accessories: shoe keychains from spring street design group

It might be a little strange if we, being the shoe whore that we are, didn’t have a zillion shoe-inspired accessories as well. From chocolates and ornaments to charms and key chains, we’ve gone above the traditional “shoe”, you know, the one that goes on your foot, to show our true shoe loving colors. We currently have a pink lacquered flip flop adorning our set of keys, but being not quite so graceful with our hands than in our heels, the keys have suffered some severe falls. The lacquered finish has been almost obliterated. The cute sandal keychain has pretty much had it, which gives us the perfect excuse to buy this! From Spring Street Design Group and available at Nordstrom’s for $24.

trend alert and giveaway: shoe accessories

With all the trends we’ve witnessed, old styles being made new and classics reinvented, it’s hard to imagine that anything is “new” anymore. There is one movement, however, that may almost be considered just that. Removable accessories are just beginning to make their mark in the shoe industry and everyone from brand names to couture designers are jumping on board. Keep reading to see our shoe accessories giveaway below.

Legwarmers from Bootzwalla jumped on the scene a few seasons back and paved the way for shoe accessory designers. Taking everything that’s great about flashy, Aspen-inspired boots, and making them accessible for the masses is what Bootzwalla is all about. The key is in the simple versatility. One legwarmer-designed shaft can be worn with a dozen different shoes to create a collection of new styles. From fringe to leather, there’s a design for just about everyone.

Freya Rose, out of the UK, offers a shoe accessory collection that allows clients to custom-design their formal footwear. Currently marketing toward formal and bridal footwear, the collection acts like couture jewelry for your feet and includes brooches made of Swarovski-crystals, Mother of Pearl, and silk-designed embellishments, as well as Mother of Pearl-covered heels. While the accessory collection is exclusively marketed to be used with Freya Rose shoes, her footwear collection is so delectable, it’s worth the splurge.

The newest member of the shoe accessory market and among one of our favorites, is Erica Giuliani. Offering a broad range of shoe accessories, from zipper-embellished ruffle shoe clips and glitzy vamp buckles to fringe straps, heels chains, and studded boot belts, Erica Giuliani makes clip-on shoe accessories for every man. The best part about this collection is that Erica Giuliani only makes shoe accessories, which means you’re free to create your very own unique style, by trying them on every single shoe in your closet.

Couture designers, like DSQUARED2 and Omelle have seen a place for the removable accessories, as well. These booties from the Nordic designers have been embellished with a removable studded vamp belt, while the Omelle rabbit fur cuff is sold separately so you can add it to your favorite pair of Omelle’s or another shoe you already have sitting among your coveted brood.

For more ways to embellish your existing shoe collection, check out Aldo Shoes, where you’ll find rocker-chic belt harnesses and two-for-one shoe chains for all your styling needs. Shoe accessories can do anything from redesigning an old pair of pumps to personalizing a classic wedding heel.

hunter welly socks

While shoedish loves her dress heels, trendy platforms, and classic pumps, we’re also big fans of casual, athletic, and outdoor footwear done right. No shoe closet is complete without the basic all-weather necessities, like cold-weather, all-purpose, and rain-resistant boots. If you live in a walking city, like New York or Chicago, a welly is a vital necessity, and Hunter does the rain boot right. But, did you know that Hunter makes accessories too? One of our favorite accessories from the brand is their Welly Socks, an insert that fits into your rain boot, making them insulated and comfy. Now you can make your favorite waterproof boot warm enough for snow storms too! Adult inserts are available for $30, while kid’s will run you $20.

alice in wonderland collection from o.p.i.

Originally uploaded by shoedish

Shoedish had the opportunity to test one of the new shades from O.P.I.’s Alice in Wonderland collection this weekend and we’re in LOVE! Who needs a valentine, when you have really pretty nail lacquer? The shades, available in Absolutely Alice, Off With Her Red!, Mad As A Hatter, and Thanks So Muchness, are inspired by the new Tim Burton adaptation of the classic fairy tale, which opens in theaters on March 5th. We tried Mad As A Hatter, a mixture of black, fuchsia, silver, gold, blue, green, and red sparkles that shimmer and shine like a star on crack. It’s a fun shade, though we’re having some issues with peeling, a problem we have encountered with many a glitter nail polish. The AIW colors have been selling out a beauty stores and salons alike, so get out there and get yours before this limited edition collection is gone forever!! Visit O.P.I. online today to enter to win one of three great prizes, which all include a set of Alice in Wonderland-inspired nail lacquers.
