Star Kid: Shiloh Borrows Big Sis’s Shoes

SunnyChanel — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:31:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt along with daughters Zahara and Shiloh were doing something that mere mortals are apt to partake in, they went shopping. While in Long Island, the Pitt/Jolie clan picked up some groceries at the Stop & Shop and were kind enough to pose for photos and sign autographs along the way.

Shy Shiloh, who hid behind her blankey, sported a pair of big sis Zahara’s shoes - the silver and black Naturio Nat 7703 sparkly Mary Janes she was spotted wearing a couple of months ago. Or perhaps the girls like to match and they each have a pair? If you want in on the action, you can pick up set of these Velcro closing, thick rubber soled sturdy Mary Janes from Pepperlime right here for $50.

Look Who's All Grown Up

JeanneSager — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:30:00 GMT

I was all over the PediPed line when my kid was still learning to walk and needed the flexible sole for her growing feet. If your kid's aged out like mine, I've got good news.

PediPed's grown up!

The newest addition to their Flex line brings all the advantages of the super-soft soles and uppers that move with their little tooties instead of against them from babies to preschoolers. Extra cushion for pushing off for a run around the back yard and slip-resistant soles keep them going all day long.

Available in sizes 5 through 12 (cut slightly large so kids won't grow out of a shoe before the summer's out), Flex's spring/summer line of sandals is stocked with sweet Mary Janes for her and open-aired shoes for little men on missions.

Get them at PediPed.

Star Baby: Halle Berry and Her Nahla Do Dots

SunnyChanel — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 19:30:00 GMT

First off, I love this photo. This paparazzi pic totally looks like an ad for tutus rather than just a mother daughter outing. That’s what you get with such a stunning sun kissed moment with a looker like the one and only Halle Berry and her adorable offspring.

Yeah, the brown tutus is awfully sweet, but the shoes are what caught my eye. Here one-year-old Nahla wears a pair of Robeez Mini Shoez Mini Circles Mary Janes in brown. These soft leather shoes feature Velcro closures, an elastic ankle and multi-layered dots in a variety of pastel hues. You can pick up a pair directly from Robeez here for $31.95.

Adorable Mary Jane Baby Socks

AmandaHill — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:00:00 GMT

The only way tiny baby feet could be any cuter is if they were in these fabulous socks. They are so classic and just a cute look. They might come in particularly handy if you have a little girl that won't keep her shoes on, but will wear her socks. It's almost two in one. You get six pairs in one box from the The Spoon Sisters for $25.00.

Mary Jane Rain Boots

AmandaHill — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:00:00 GMT

These Mary Jane Rain Boots are not only cute must-haves, but they will also keep the feet of your favorite princess dry from rain, sleet, and snow. These boots, a bargain at just $10.99, are made by Uli and available in many other colors. How can you not love them?

Suri Cruise: Where’d Ya Get Those Silver Shoes

alibaba — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:49:00 GMT

Photo from JustJared.buzznet.com.

Suri Cruise seems to have a thing for silver shoes, and who can blame her? Always the mini-fashionista, she seems to favor Mary Janes in shimmering metallic shades. Thanks to the paparazzi who follow Suri and her lovely mommy everywhere, we know for a fact that she’s got pairs of decadent Bonpoint Mary Janes in both silver and gold. But her latest silver pair appear to be by a Danish shoemaker that is a little hard to find state-side.

Unfortunately the shoes, made by Bisgaard, formerly known as Cocomma, are sold out at Toddle2teen.com but appear to be available through this British site: e-directory.co.uk (a site from which I have never ordered).

(shown above: Bonpoint silver ballet flats)

The Bisgaard pair are considerably less expensive than the Bonpoint pair with the ankle strap, which start at $230 at Bonpoint stores in the U.S. However, consider yourselves warned, would-be big spenders, the Bonpoint pair worn by Suri throughout the summer are sold out at the Bonpoint downtown store in Manhattan.

I Could Eat These Shoes

elizabeth leach — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 15:30:00 GMT

I have no words for Umi Shoes. (But I have to find the words because I am reviewing them.) We've written about Umi Shoes and how Consumer Reports sited them as one of their top recommendations for a first shoe. So, we know they are flexible and comfortable but, as you can see, they are also mouth wateringly adorable. Umi's new shoes for Fall and Winter are at the top of my list for scrumptious shoes for babies and kids.

When my friends say they want a little girl because they are so much fun to dress they are talking about Umi Shoes. But, don’t fret. Umi’s boy shoes are just delicious. Take a peek at these and I guarantee you will smile.

The above photo is the Bluebell Shoe, which comes in black or ruby patent leather for $55. The below photo is the Cowboy Shoe, which comes in navy leather for $58. Both come in European sizes 19 – 24. Umi also has pre-school and grade-school sized shoes. Shop Umi.

Star Baby: Suri Watch – Forget the Gold, Suri Goes Green

SunnyChanel — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:20:00 GMT

In every paparazzi photo of Suri Cruise lately she has always been wearing her precious gold shoes. Seriously, the girl totally goes for the gold. But she's switching it up on us and is now going green.

Here is little Miss Suri sporting a pair of vibrant lime green Mary Jane’s that appear to be the same make and model as the gold ones, just a different shade of cuteness. But me thinks the green isn't going to be easy to coordinate as the neutral hue of the metallic. If you are green with envy and want to have your kid get a pair, you can pick up these L'Amour Lime Green Super Soft Leather Mary Janes with Flowers. ($35.95 here)

7 Days of Back-to-School Clothes: It’s All About the Shoes

Lisa Mulcahy — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 14:44:00 GMT

With the budget crunch on, and retail forecasters predicting a lackluster shopping season, I thought I’d focus on back-to-school bargain hunting. So I turned to . . .

Target for a back-to-school staple: shoes. Even though Target’s shoes are cheap, the overall quality is pretty good. And they’re always on target (ha I couldn’t resist the pun) with the latest styles. This season, for girls, ballet flats and Mary Janes are the must haves. I love these pink plaid ballet flats for $14.99 and these Mary Jane sneakers for $16.99. Happy shopping.

Star Baby: Tom Kat's Golden Footed Offspring!

SunnyChanel — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 22:25:00 GMT

Tom and Katie’s little Suri is sure some precious cargo. Although there seems to be a national obsession with Katie Holmes various haircuts, I’m much more interested in what kind of footwear they deem good enough to don the feet off their offspring. What did that opt for this day, why a pair of solid gold shoes!

Okay, they’re probably not solid gold, could you just imagine how heavy that would be? But they do look a lot like these Pazitos Cinderella Gold infant/toddler shoes. These classic Mary Jane’s in a subtle mettalic hue aren’t just for pop princesses but really for any little one in touch with their shiny girly-girl side. The one draw back is that they cost $64. I have trouble buying myself a pair of $64 let alone my toddler who’ll grow out of them within a month or two but you know, I don't have all that Mission Impossible royalty money coming in, alas.

7 Days of Summerwear: Crocs

Chris Ford — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 00:06:00 GMT

After thinking long and hard about what to write about for "7 Days of Summerwear," I kept coming back to one thing: Crocs. Sure, it's obvious. Sure, lots of people love them and lots of people hate them. And sure, they're everywhere. But the thing about Crocs is, they're good with socks or without, easy for a toddler to put on themselves, and are fairly durable. From my perspective, all that equals perfect summerwear.

There are lots of things I don't love about them, namely how they seem to attract dirt like magnets and how absolutely ugly they look on adults. But my girls love them, and after confirming they can walk perfectly well in them, I can't really argue.

If the old standard Crocs don't do it for you, the Crocs web site has a lot of new products to check out, including a whole host of Disney versions (including the Minnie Mouse mary janes (pictured).

Check out all of the new products at Crocs.com, including the Minnie Mary Janes, $34.99.

Keds' "Crazy" Hearts Shoes Are Helping Me Regain Sanity

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 14:00:00 GMT

Okay, guys. Work with me. I think I'm slowly getting over my initial Valentine's Day hysteria. It's good to get it out of my system early, I think. That way, as the actual time nears, I'll have become sufficiently uninterested and will, thusly, spend very little money on unnecessary items.

First, I just need a couple more quick hits. Yeah, I'll have a mini-crush on these "Crazy Mary Jane Hearts" Keds right quick. Really cute dressy-sporty canvas sneakers to store under the bed until spring.

$30, Babystyle.

Big Deal: Mary Jane Style Shoe From Stride Rite

chrisjordan — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 16:02:00 GMT

I am not sure little girls are allowed to go back to school without having a pair of Mary Janes.

You will want to jump on this one, marked down to $14.89 (from $47.95) they won't last long.

Puddle Jumper Shoes Will Have Your Toddler Jumping For Joy

chrisjordan — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 20:03:00 GMT

I had a difficult time deciding which pair of Puddle Jumper shoes to feature. They are all very sweet.

Made from soft leather with European styling and bold colors, these shoes will be a favorite of children and parents alike.

Did I mention how reasonably priced they are? The Black Mary Jane with flower strap pictured above sells for $28-- a portion of the proceeds going to benefit the China Orphan Relief Fund.

Give Her Froggy Feet

Mir — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 22:01:00 GMT

These hand-painted mary janes from Monkey-Toes ($26.99 at Jaminga) make me want to squeal a little. Who says mary janes have to be patent leather and/or formal? I love 'em as a sneaker, and I love the unexpected fun of a frog face even more. They'd go great with a little dress or maybe with overalls and some bugs she just caught. Available in infant/toddler sizes 1-10.

Stay Dainty in the Rain with Mary Jane Rainboots

Mir — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 12:01:00 GMT

It's hard work being a pretty princess. What with all of the looking beautiful all the time and ordering peasants to fetch you a sippy cup of juice... it's a full-time job for a preschooler, let me tell you. And it can be even harder in the rain, because some evil villains (translation: moms) expect even pretty princesses to wear boots even though they're not pretty. Oh, the humanity. Thank goodness for these mary jane rainboots from Trumpette; finally, even in a downpour she can maintain her image right down to her toes.
