Oh, hi! Remember us? We needed a little breather to get a few things in order around here. School started, I started a new business, the old business got crazy, my husband had a birthday, my son had a birthday. Good god, now I’m hyperventilating again…

I had to get back to share some cute finds with you though! How ’bout these little shoes? Found ‘em right under my nose – here in Kansas City!

The JEMOS children’s shoe line is reminiscent of other soft-soled cuties. The girls styles look like they have a higher back than most so that the strap doesn’t ride across the very top of the foot, allowing for a secure fit. They retail at select online and brick-and-mortar shops for about $28.

Take a peek:

I’ve been a big fan of See Kai Run shoes for a while now. My two year old twins lived in their Isaac fisherman sandals last summer. This fall, the staple has been the two-toned leather Harley style. Love them for their high quality leather and very flexible soles. And their style. I can’t leave the house with these two without someone commenting on their shoes. I’ve given out the See Kai Run website to scores of people because of these shoes.

Now, I’m excited for two things. First, the spring/summer line is coming. And second, they now make shoes for older kids – Eleven.

Ummm, I need a toddler girl. Stat. Those green shoes on the bottom left are calling me…and I don’t think my two year old boys would like them.

Now, my six year old girl wouldn’t fit into the green See Kai Runs. But she’s a shoe girl. And she would LOVE to slide her little piggies into these Elevens (brand, not size).
Alexi, $54 at SeeKaiRun

Pixie, on sale now for $40.50 at SeeKaiRun

Everyone here is outgrowing shoes by the minute. I’m overwhelmed. I did get a peek at the Umi spring/summer catalog this week too – and there are some DARLING (and cool – for my seven year old son) shoes coming! I hope to share those with you in the coming weeks!
