Your feet can fly...

Well to be honest, they will need a little help.

Help that will come from these litte things - schwings.

I am well aware that I am probably the last person on the planet to know about them and that playgrounds up and down the land are doubtless awash with them. That fact doesn't reduce my delight in them one single iota.

I adore these.

Shwings were created in Hollywood by designer Sonya Ooten who is best known for her jewelry. These 'Wings for your shoes' will make any pair of sneakers or gutties look loved and adored once more. They come in a huge array of colours and finished including bright neons and foils which only further appeal to my magpie instincts.

 You can find them lots of places but I found mine in the glory that is the V&A shop for £10

You can even pile them up.

I like them best with three!
