Beautiful, European-style shoes at Munchkin et Moi
Shoes -- we cannot live without them so we might as well embrace them! Here in continental Europe we have some very specific styles of shoes for children.

I also love that it falls somewhere in between casual and dressy -- it's stuff your kids can wear every day. Many of ...
