I used to be able to wear heels every day to work. I used to scale ladders in them (I used to work in a shoe shop) and tread the treacherous city pavement in them without any problems. But now heels are reserved for special occasions only and day to day during Winter I’ll wear boots or ballet flats and in Summer they’ll be thongs (the sandals people, not the g strings my American readers who might be muttering “too much information” right about now
).
I know it’s hardly thong weather on this particular weekend with this sudden cold snap but think of your tootsies come a couple of week’s time. The lovely people at Pininho sent me some of their thong decorations and some to give to NQN readers! These are cute little decorations that you stick on your thongs and they come in some rather cute patterns. Of course I went for the strawberry (hey how about a macaron or cupcake Pininho guys?
) and a Gold Skull (very Alexander McQueen and Halloween).

So all you have to do is check out the website and tell me which two designs you like the best. Choose carefully as they could be yours!

What a fun giveaway! Those little clip-ons are adorable!
I like the Australian flag (though it is out of stock!), the Hibiscus and the Munch Red Bug (is Ladybug copyrighted or not PC?)
I especially like the Strawberry and the Munch Red Bug, though I would have called it a ladybug or even ladybeetle
Hot Lips and Silver skull for meeee!
I love the munch red bug, strawberry field, hot lips, spotty heart
So cute! I love the gold skulls and the red hearts <3
They are cute!! I love the love heart and the lady bug as well as the True Love heart, silver star and pusssssss!!
It would have to be hibiscus and frangipani!!
What could scream summer more than that??!!
How cute!
If only I could walk in heels, but I guess my feet and back love me cos I don’t wear them!
Thongs on the other hand! <3
Frangipani & Juicy Apple for me!
I go through phases with heels and flats too, but now it’s mostly flat shoes.
I’d go for the frangipani and the kitty kat!
Gold heart and gold skull for me!
I like the sliver skull and silver star. What a great idea to include a punch (tool) with the decoration.
I like the Silver Heart and Juicy Apple ^_^
A Macaron or Cupcake Pininho would sound SO awesome though xD
Oh boy these are cute! Loving the juicy apple and ghost!
I love the Hibiscus and the Pink Heart !
They are all gr8, not sure about the ’skull and crossbones’ though LOL My favourites are the ‘Frangipani’ & the ‘Munch Red Bug’
My house has many decorations of Frangipanis, when my grandson is out shopping with his mum, if he spots a Frangipani in any form, he tries to talk his Mum into getting it for ‘Grandma’ ’cause it’s Grammas favourite!
The frangipani just evoke the warmth and enjoyment of Summer to me!
I like frangipanis so much that my winter wedding had a frangipani theme (unfortunately we had to use artificial ones)! So the frangipani one would be a cool reminder of that! The apple one is also cute.
Silver Heart and White Frangipani
Yes please! I’d love the ladybug and metal heart please
(Um, am I not supposed to say ladybug?)
I like the juicy apple and the silver star!!
although my thongs already have flags design on them, i would love the pink heart (so sweet) and ghost (love pacman!)
Ooh these are really cute! If they had a cupcake one I would definitely get it hehe, but since they don’t I’ll have to go for the gold heart and the strawberry fields pininhos
I can’t go past the Pink Heart… and the Juicy Apple’s gorgeous, too! What a great idea.
I love love love the Hibiscus and the silver Heart is cute.
I’m officially addicted to food blogs (though this blog is about shoes). The little black ghosts and strawberries are my favourites.
The pink metal heart and the pink skull are so cute
I really like the ladybug – so sweet! The skull and cross bones is also great
What a cool giveaway! I love the little pink strawberry and the gold skull
The gold heart and gold skull – bling bling!
the black ghost and silver skull are my picks – interesting idea
so cute!
I love the ghost and strawberry fields
I love love love love the silver star! The Kitty Kat (sadly out of stock):’(
Hi! I’m a new subscriber and love your site!! I think I am a fan of every single one of your favourite foods, and I love your reviews. My favourite pininhos are the black cat (major cat lover), and the smiley face (former depression sufferer).
Keep up the good eating!!!
heys
i like the “Juicy Apple” and “Ghost”
I like the Juicy Apple and the cute Munch Red Bug
Hi, love the hibiscus and frangipani. For mix and matching over summer.
I would love to have the red hibiscus and the red heart
Thanks!
i love the gold heart & frangipani…. too cute!
Love these – they are really cute. My favs are the Hibiscus and the pink & white spot heart for breast cancer month ..
I hadn’t heard of these before today. I must say they are ADORABLE! My favorites are the pink heart and the silver star. They’re just cute enough to tack on a basic pair of black flippies!
I love “love” for love lifts us up where we belong and love is a many splendid thing! I love to love from the tips of my thongs to the brim of my cap.
And the Juicy Red Apple is also a fave, for in the words of a true poet: “A juicy red apple is nice but, not every apple is red”.
I can’t go past the Heart ,maybe a different colour one for each day of the week.
I’m loving the metallic pink skull and the little smiley face. Who doesn’t want to look down at their toes and see a happy face looking up at you? lol
Easy the True Love heart as it is just like the lollies we had as kids with all the romantic messages and the Juicy Apple!! Funny they are both replicas of food!!!
I really like the hibiscus and the peace pininhos.
i like the strawberry fields and pink heart ones!
Nothing worse than squashed tootsies. I certainly remember coming home from work and walking up my street carrying my super high heels. Why do we do this to ourselves.
Comfy thongs is the way to go for summer (although) not for work.
I just loved the Kitty Kat and the Pink Heart.
I love the smiley face and the lady beetle!
Fun and sweet – perfect with a nice summer dress for a casual day out – comfort and style!
I love the HEart and Frangipani – just for my daughter!!
Hi lorraine
these are really nice!
i am very lazy so if im going out for a short time, i just put on thongs… even in winter ><"
i love the silver heart and the apple one
cheers!
I can sure relate to this, having traded heels for thongs years ago…I even wear them in winter, although will trade them for boots if I need to leave the house! The fragipani and the silver heart were the most appealing to me
how adorable! yes if only there was a cupcake!!
i’m going for the strawberry apple, and the lady bug!
I think the silver stars and the silver hearts are the cutest!
The apple is oh-so-gorgeous! I love the gold heart too as it would perfectly match my Haviana Black and Gold blingy thongs
how cute they are, i was anxious what are pininhos, sound so strange but sooo adorable. Yes a macaron pininhos would be sweet on a pink thong* whoops, sandals i meant
Hot lips and silver skull – anything to improve the look of my feet in thongs!
They are gorgeous!! It was hard to choose but I eventually picked the silver skull & the hot lips.
I’m such a wuss when it comes to heels. I’m one of those people who keeps a pair at work to get changed into.
I like the pink skull and the frangipani.
Wow! You always have the best giveaways. I would have gone for the strawberry too…
frangipani and silver heart. lovely.
Silver skull and silver heart. Love and death seem always to be intermingled.
Cheers
I like the Juicy Apple and the Gold Heart. Very cute
These are too cute!! I love the cat and the lips
I love the pink and silver heart… they’re soooo cute!!!
love the Gold Heart and Pink Skull!
the ghost & pink heart ! =]
I love the metal pink skull (for the emo in me) and the strawberry fields (for the foodie in me)
i am SO looking forward to the days of havaianas! i’m on my feet ALL day long, there’s no sitting, not even a chair at my work. high heels would kill me, so i wear ballet shoes and pretend that i have the feet of a wood nymph. or something.
i’m thinking now that i need some yellow havaianas. i’d decorate mine with the little black cat and the strawberries.
Really cute idea. I like the black skull and crossbones and the ladybug.
Thansks
Ghost and skull pink.
I love the metal silver heart of pinopino thongs !!! FIRST CHOICE
Secondly ,I Love the metal star, !!SECOND CHOICE <
Thanks Lorraine.
Veronica
I think I’d wear the Ghost due to my inner gaming geek (old skool pacman <3 ) and Smiley or Kitty because they remind me of happy days.
Check out the gallery section guys – you can wear them on so many things!
Wah – my comment never got through yesterday!
I <3 the silver skull and crossbones and the kawaii black ghost!
I think the smiley and the peace ones are pretty awesome
I had a a silver skull on my black thongs and wore them on my new years Byron Bay holiday and all the time when I was in New York during July & August(their summer time)earlier this year. Then somewhere between the airports of NYC and MEL i lost it! I would love another silver skull and silver heart! x
frangi’s all the way
Strawberry and Frangipani! And yes, they do need more food related ones! hehe
LOVE the hearts. If I don’t win one I’m buying them!
Aww how cute are they!! I love the ghost and the juicy apple. Gorgeous!
All rather gorgeous, something for everyone there. I personally like the daisy or is it a frangi and the red bug.
I’d love a heart to represent all the love I have for my family.
Hi Lorraine,
Ghost & Juicy Apple Pininhos would look great on my thongs come summertime!
Cheers, Kat
Seriously “hearting” the gold heart. As I’m a gold person, this would go with everything I own. I’m not allowed to wear bracelets, rings or earrings at work, but nowhere does it say I can’t wear a piniho!!! I don’t even think they’ll know what it was!
I absolutely love the Kitty Kat and the Hibiscus
I love the pink heart and the gold skull – I can’t resist anything shiny!
pink heart with white dots and silver skull and crossbones
For my thong, I’ll have a “crack” at Frangipani and Smiley for some summer fun (sorry about the pun)
love your blog… and love the pink skull and munch red bug xx
Hi NQN! I’m new to your blog and i have enjoyed reading your blog. My favourites are munch red bug and juicy apple. I think they will go quite well with my new black Havaianas thongs
I just love love LOOOVE the Much Red Bug & the Ghost!
Love the lips and the hibiscus!
i like the apple and lady beetle
I think I would be one of the only teenagers to read your foodblog
but my favourites would have to be the pink metal heart and the gold skull.
I really like the ghost(because I just do) and the hibiscus(because I think its pretty cool and matches the idea of thongs being summery)
Oh so cuuuuute!! The strawberries and the black kitty cats are my faves. It’s so hard to choose, they’re all adorable
Me too! I used to be able to be on my feet all day in heels, now it’s sensible flats all the way. Luckily, where I work now I am allowed to wear my lovely flip flops all day. Bliss!
I love the ghost as it reminds me of pac man. That or the ladybug, who can forget the thrill as a kid of finding a ladybug in an unlikely place (like inside the car) and returning it back to bushes where it belongs.
I liked the the Munch Red Bug and the Kitty Kat. All very cute.
The silver skull, and the ghost. It’s cute as!!!

I love the hot lips and the strawberry fields as I would put them on my daughters thongs as she smells like strawberries and she so cute and so kissable!
Oooh – how cool ! What do I like best ? The cat, which is of course my namesake and the loveheart, as we always need true love and mine is food, wine, cats and shoes !!

Today love is in the air, yes can you here John Paul Young’s ‘Love is in the air’ playing in the background, queue music, come on sing with me…. love is in the air, everywhere I look around…. I love my husband and daughter so much I sometimes think I will burst so today I have to pick the True Love Heart and the Red Heart. I would put them on my clothes so that everyone can see, that I have true love.
busybbee05(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)au

The peace signs (cause I’m a hippie at heart & live in thongs!) & the good old aussie flag (aw cause I’m patriotic) & think we live in the luckiest country in the world!
The ‘hibiscus’ and the ‘frangipani’ as they serve as a reminder for me.
Carefree summers, and just hanging in thongs, shorts and a tee.
I love the juicy Apple and the Strawberry fields. So cute!
pink heart and pink skull
Smiley and the hotlips
Silver Star and juicy apple
Finish of the giveaway with some love, a Red Hot Lips and Love heart
busybbee05(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)au
I like pink heart and silver star because they’re simple and cute.
And a spooky Ghost and a Black Cat.
smiley and pink heart
Def the Aussie Flag ones (for those patriotic days and important sporting events) and Pacman because, at heart, I’m a complete geek. And proud of it!!!!
They are ALL cute … definitely a difficult choice, but I would choose the Aussie flag and the Ladybug.
Today I will have a strawberry fields yum and a juicy red apple.
Ladybug and the Gold Skull. From one extreme to the other!
The Gold Skull and the Gold Heart. Maybe I have a heart of gold?
My favourite would have to be the Frangipani…….even my 7yr old grandson, always comments to his mum when he sees a frangipani “look Mum there’s Grandmas favourite flower”
My granddaughter is always looking for ‘Ladybugs’ and so that would be my second choice. I will have to find something better than thongs to showcase them though
The ‘hibiscus’ and ‘love’ is sure to make my boy go weak in the knees. Mwah! Mwah! Mwah
The frangipani and smiley are sure to brighten my dull and boring life.
I have to put my best foot forward in Gold Heart and Spotty Heart. I heart you!
Summer is upon us. The apple and strawberry are fresh and juicy- it’s ripe for the picking
I love the red heart for shoes and the red heart for zippers also True love. A great idea to brighten plain shoes.
Oh so many how will I choose
The Hibiscus and Frangipani
would look great on my Shoes. (thongs)
these are so cute i am looking up a stockest near me now i just love the ghost and the silver skull
I love the True Love and the Frangipani bracelets in the gallery.
Thankyou for giving me a chance to win these lovely Pininhos. My choice would be the silver star and the munch red bug. They are adorable!!
