Happy Customer...Happy Company!!!

We were so thrilled to receive the most flattering email from a happy customer yesterday, and so touched that she took the time to share this with us that we had to share with you!

"Well, my little Bean has finally given up trying to squish her growing feet into her larger three pairs of well worn Sweet Shoes and we put them away yesterday as she rocked and hugged them saying, "Lily love sooo much!"

"Nothing yet has compared to your Sweet Mary Janes and beloved Purple Two Tone Sweet Shoes! Good grief! You'd think I was putting away her favorite teddy bear!!"

"We had oddles of compliments on her Sweet Shoes and I don't think there was a single time we wore them out that we weren't asked where we got them! Lily filmed two Huggies commercials last Fall in NYC and everybody on the set who saw those shoes loved them!"

"Thanks for making the perfect shoe for my little Bean for the first 2 years of her little life. We've been spoiled!"

Thank you again Cynthia for sharing this with us and so sorry Lily that we don't have any Sweet Shoes that fit you anymore! Just another indication that we need to make bigger sizes!!

Got Sweet Shoes?

Does your baby, Got Sweet Shoes? These darling little Got Milk? models have theirs and apparently they are their favs.

We recently received a lovely email from their beautiful mama, Rebecca Romijn, telling us that Sweet Shoes teal metallic Sweet Janes were her adorable twins, Dolly and Charlie's, favorite shoes.

"They have become their faves, and sadly they are now growing out of them.....small price to pay to watch my daughters experience the joy of their first favorite pair of shoes."

A bonus is she went to college in our hometown! We love it!

"As a former Banana Slug, born and raised in Berkeley, I'll see to it that the Sweet Shoes are worn with much Santa Cruz pride."

Sadly, the 18 month old girls are nearing the end of our size bracket! Guess we'll have to start working on those larger sizes!

Organic sure has come a long way from natural color and limited availability. Kicky Pants and Sage Creek Organics are perfect examples of how far the eco-friendly movement has come in fashion for your little ones. Bright colors and fun prints are the theme for these two Los Angeles based lines.
Kicky Pants was started by a mother of two, Erin Cloke, while on bedrest with her youngest child. Just goes to show you what can come of idle time. The family affair is run by she and her husband Nick. We love it. Keep up the great work. All fabrics are dyed, cut and sewn in Los Angeles.
Sage Creek Organics is another family owned and operated business with the commitment to providing quality eco-friendly clothing. They proudly support many charites.
With the exception of Sweet Shoes, the above fashions can be found at www.whateverybabyneeds.com a website committed to earth friendly fashion, gear and decor.
We paired them with our hemp Big Wave Slip-ons and our navy skate shoes.

We couldn't get over how gorgeous the Layered Voile Dress is!!! Oh my!! Not only that it looks perfect with our silver metallic Sweet Janes.

We also liked the Yellow Blooms tank with the Gray Gingham shorts. So perfect with either the 2 tone Sweet Janes in gray, or for a more summery look, the metallic Pearl Sweet Janes.

We are excited to share the new, up-and-coming brand, Velvet & Tweed. We met the owner, Tina Schrieber at Bubble New York when she launched the line last Spring. Schrieber formerly worked with Janie & Jack, Gymboree's upscale line.

Velvet & Tweed offers beautiful fabrics and elegant designs that can be dressed up or worn casual.

We love the tall ship and gingham button up shirts and pincord shorts, for boys. All of these are part of their Spring 2010 collection.

Velvet & Tweed's upcoming fall styles are equally beautiful.

This impeccable line is made in San Francisco, California.

We have paired their some of their boy styles with some of our Big Wave Slip ons for a hip, classic look perfect for the beach, a party or just a sunny afternoon at the park.

Mini Munster's yellow dragon/dino T is our fav! Pair it up with gray Grid Lock shorts and Sweet Shoes Skate Waves in black and white!

Our pick of the day....Mini Munster. Created by an Australian couple with boys, the line is a perfect representation of the people behind it...laid back and edgy all mixed into one! We met Richie, the owner, at our very first trade show. It was love at first site for us with his creative and edgy designs. His characters have a Maurice Sendak feeling to them.
He primarily uses black, grays and reds, with the occasional splash of yellow or purple. They offer a range of t-shirts, one piece rompers and hoodies.
Mini Munster is an extension of his boys line, so as your child grows you don't necessarily have to give up your favorite Munster T. Missie Munster was launched last year for toddler girls. We are waiting for the baby girl line to come out!
We picked a few of our favs for the season and paired them with some our styles.
