See Kai Run, be still my heart!
Deep breaths. I am in a tizzy over the new Kat shoes from See Kai Run's Smaller collection. I can see it now: My little girl's cute, chubby legs in white tights and these classic, navy Mary Jane shoes with a twist. I love the heart shape on the Kat Mary Janes carrying over from one shoe to the next. It reminds me a little of a heart shaped charm I wore when I was a pre-teen with be fri and my BFF wore the other half with st ends but I digress.

Kat's big sister, Gwen (right) is also hard to resist. The red apple is perfect for fall and "back to school" and the red soles are a nice surprise. If hearts and apples aren't your thing, check out the Mae shoes for babies with a sweet tulip and a version for older girls called Maisie. These brown leather shoes will go with everything in your daughter's wardrobe.

See Kai Run's shoes are more than just pretty. Crafted from the softest leather, they are just as comfortable as sneakers and will last well past the season. And I don't mind spending a little more on shoes when I know they can be worn for every day and dress-up.-Elizabeth
