new shoes

I got Tessa a pair of white Salt Water "sea-wees" during a visit to the Children's Hour while I was in Utah last month. Salt Water sandals are my favorite because they totally stand the test of time, and just look like they have been built to last. I remember running around in them when I was little. Tessa has teeny feet (size 2) and hasn't yet been able to fit in anything, so these bitty ones were perfect for her. They are adorable and have made the perfect summer shoe. Good thing I didn't see the gold, or we would have continued the gold-footed trend Tessa's had since birth. I also like the brown & red for small-footed little boys!

Growing up in Utah, my mom took us to the Children's Hour in Bountiful for as long as I can remember, it was one of the most magical bookstores I'd ever been in, small and filled with shelves of books and small toys. The "Shop Around the Corner" in You've got Mail reminded me of it a little. Now that they've moved to a bigger store in Salt lake, they still have the great books, but adorable clothing, shoes and jewelry as well.

I also grew up with salt water sandals (as did my mom) and love put them on my daughter. They last forever and look darling on! Navy is also a good color to buy. It matches everything.

I looooveeee salt water sandals! All of my friends and I wore them to our senior prom! We dyed them to match our dresses. Dorks, I know. But it was sooo cool at the time!

Those buckles make me tired.
I am an all velcro mom now.
But they are adorable. :)
