Friday Fantasy Shoe Day: Little Girl Addition

Inlight of recent events I've been thinking a lot about my oldest daughter and how much she has changed my life in all of the best ways possible. She is amazing and strong and makes my world so, so wonderful.
Since she is slowly(but surely)starting to appreciate clothes and shoes I thought I would dedicate my Fantasy Friday to little girl shoes. Of course they will be pricey...it's not fun if they aren't. Some of them aren't that expensive but when you think about the fact that they will out grow them within 6 months, then yes they are way too expensive.
Onward:

Since it snowed here yesterday and Eva and I went out to play in it I browsed the boots section and low and behold I came across these snow boots named, Cold Front II, and They. Are. Adorable. As much as I hate the 'Brats' dolls and all of this like chunky looking crap they make for girls nowadays, these boots are beyond cute and with the cotton candy pink color, soooo girly! I wish I had them to put Eva in today but alas, her rain boots will have to do double duty. Cold Front II are $34.00.




Next is this snappy little sneaker that have these sweet lights. It used to be only boys had light up shoes and then they made them for girls but the lights were red...barf. This hot pink number is so cute and with all the little foil and sparkle accents it is beyond girly, especially with the Maryjane design and side daisy. This 'Kelly MJ' is $44. For the classy girl who likes to look good in her Sunday best...or any day of the week we have, 'Joanne.' All though Joanne is a 45 year old woman's name and does not remind me of a little girls shoe in the least this shoe has style. I love the patent with the side swirl design on top and the little gem details are what really make this shoe so chic! Joann will run you $40.

Little girls(even my tomboy)love sparklies. And this shoe is so bright and fun, with the ballet look and little bow, it's the girl version of a mommy's ballet flat, that is so in right now. This shoe is known as 'Glenda' I'm thinking this is in reference to the Good Witch of the North(Wiz of Oz ref.) b/c if it's not these people need to come up with some waaaay cuter names. So fun, this would be so cute with some boot cut jeans, right?! Glenda is a mere $28.
Now I am a big fan of little girls in boots. It's adorable. The first pair of boots I ever bought Eva were these tan suede Ugg inspired boots with sheep wool lining, so adorable. So when I saw these boots known as the, 'Missy boot' I had to post them. These are so my number one must have...if I had money to burn on shoes. A sweet suede upper and side zipper and an age appropriate heel(which is so hard to find in bigger sizes). The 'Missy' also comes in black. So hot with jeans tucked in or with tights and a skirt, me likey. Missy is $54, me no likey that.




May as well go on to my next boot. This is the 'Zaynah Boot' and that is a much more appropriate name for a girls shoe, am I right or what? I mean yes it's not a real name but at least it's funky and fresh. JUST like these boots. I love everything about these shoes. They will make your little girls outfit come alive! The flower and vine details are amazing and all leather uppers, nice. I love the turquoise and the pink together, such hot colors. This boot also comes in another color combination, a darker brown with green and the flowers are also different accented colors. Lucky for you Zaynah is on sale(woo hoo) for $29.99! I don't know, that's pretty good if your kids in a slower phase of growth...It's just b/c I'm obsessed with girl boots that I would even consider...and then I snap back into reality(and by me I mean my husband snaps me back into reality).
Last but not least, as much as I hate the sneaker you have to buy them, they make the most sense. I mean your kid IS a kid, she's going to want to run and play and be all crazy. That's what they do for like 94% of their time(the other 6% is on timeout). So I saw these sneakers and I loved them! Such cute colors first of all, pink, silver and light green(on the website they are known as begonia, silver and lime...but whatever, we get it) so adorable for a sneaker, not just boring white, blehhhh. The design of it is all about fun shapes and details. This sneaker gets an A+ from me! Oh and by the way, you will die when I tell you how much they are. This sneakers name is 'SuperBall 13'! It's like an arcade game. Well SuperBall is wait for it....wait for it...$65! I know, right? Like I spend that much on my own sneakers?! I do like that it's lace up. Almost all shoes now are Velcro, which I love, don't get me wrong, it's just that I haven't had the opportunity to teach my child how to tie her shoes and I don't think I will unless I can hunt down a pair of sneakers that actually have laces. Too bad for me when I find them they wont be this cute, I'm sure they will be white...but only white long enough for me to tie them to Eva's feet and within 3 minutes they should easily be gray, scuffed and serving their ultimate purpose. All these shoes are brought to you via http://www.striderite.com/.

I hope you've all enjoyed the fun girl shoes, I thought something different would be just that...different. I've had a different week where I really have refocused what's important in my life, it sucks that something so scary and traumatic had to happen to make me realize the better person I would like to be but, that's usually how it goes, right? You "wake up" when something major effects your life. I've definitely woken up and our family is a lot closer than it was, we've bonded in a way that I never imagined and a new perspective of what family really is has overwhelmed both Jeremy and I. I love my family so much and I am so grateful for everything that I have. Enjoy your weekend with your family's.

I love little girl shoes! I'm glad to know they get even cuter as the girls get older. Thanks for sharing!
