Me In Mind Adorable Footwear

Break out the guitar, its time to jam!

We love these Mind-Wanna Rock shoes by Me In Mind for infants.

Very soft lamb skin leather upper. Lined with 100% cotton fabric. Shoes stay on thanks to an elastic band above the heel which provides a snug and secure fit. Non-slip suede leather sole with thin foam cushion insert for comfort.

$28 - $30, available from Lisa Kline Kids.

Tory Burch - Near Perfection

A mix of 1960s & 1970s chic, Tory Burch delivers timeless and bold pieces in her Fall 2008 Ready to Wear collection. Her show was held at Christie’s auction house in New York on February 5, 2008. Burch has developed an unusually strong brand, demonstrating once again why thousands of women are hooked on her classics. Myself included!

Her Fall collection is ladylike, but eccentric and quirky.  Tweedy and Hitchcockian, nautical, and a bit Joni Mitchell. Love the peacock-feather and beetle prints, and mix of fabrics/prints.  The clothes are polished, but still fun.

Dare I comment on the shoes?  Check out the “must haves” here.

Burch even offers a kids line with some adorable pieces. Shop here.

One of the hottest frocks this summer is the Splendid Littles Stripe Dress.

Violet Affleck, Suri Cruise and Ruby Maguire (Spiderman’s Toby Maguire’s daughter) have all been spotted out in this cute summer dress.

Violet pairs her dress with white socks and navy sneakers, Ruby with blue Crocs and Suri with a pair of dainty gold mary janes.

Cute!

Available at Lisa Kline Kids, $58.

36-year-old Jennifer Garner recently announced that she is 5 months pregnant with Violet’s little brother or sister and hosted a little soirée this weekend.

Violet was photographed in a cute blue floral top by Splendid.

$44, available at Lisa Kline Kids.

Not sure who picks out Violet Afleck’s wardrobe - Jen, Ben or does she have her own stylist?

Regardless, this summer, her style is casual and comfortable, just as it should be for a 2 year old.

Recently photographed in brands, Splendid, Teva and Naturino, little Violet reminds us a lot of our little ones. Lots of simple cotton tees, leggings and light summer dresses.

Navy canvas T-strap Mary Janes by Naturino, $50 available at Piperline. Check out the cute polk-a-dot version available from Naturino Los Gatos.

She seems to love those mismatched pigtails too!


Flats for life

Almost daily I give thanks to the shoe gods for the abundant array of hip, cute and COMFORTABLE flats. I LIVE in flats.  I have to admit that at one time I sacrificed by feet and pedicured toes for the  sake of fashion, but no more. I wholly admire those Moms who endure the pain of sexy and leg lengthening heels, but for me, once I went flat, I couldn’t go back. My collection of beautiful heels have sat quietly collecting dust, secretly grateful not to hear my incessant complaints of how uncomfortable they are.

I’d love to buy this pair of Miu Miu’s ($650 at NM), but after my last designer pair was bathed in apple juice and massaged under my son’s muddy sneakers I decided I would just admire from afar.  Better to spend $150 and not fret over a trip to the park or a little (or a lot) of kid goop. Love JCrew for their simplicity and cute prints.

I have to admit that I am a sucker for black and bright colors.
