Inspired and named after Audrey Hepburn, Absolutely Audrey is an online retailer of women's shoe clips that transform plain shoes into glamorous shoes. The company believes that “Shoe clips can become the accessory for the accessories”.
Shoe clips are created with materials such as rhinestones, fabric, enamel and leather for various occasions such as casual, evening, wedding or prom. Absolutely Audrey shoe clips are multifaceted and can not only be clipped onto shoes. Shoe clips can be attached on clothing like jeans, shirts, jackets and scarves as well as other accessories such as handbags, hats and belts.
Absolutely Audrey was founded in 2004 and its shoe clips are sold in various fashion boutiques nationwide as well as online at www.absolutelyaudrey.com. The company has been featured in numerous publications such as Lucky Magazine, Footwear Plus, ToBe Report, US Weekly, Country Living, television shows such as NBC’s Today Show and CBS’s Evening Magazine, and online fashion websites such as www.dailycandy.com, www.splendora.com, www.stylebakery.com and www.chicblvd.com.
Daily Candy San Francisco: Clip Art
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.
