If I were to design baby shoes, these are the type of shoes I'd create. So stylish, sweet and unique, that you'd wish your baby and her feet would stay small forever. With all the Back to School Extravaganza hoopla, I couldn't leave out the little ones. And with this latest giveaway, the babies are certainly getting the attention they deserve.
Introducing:
Livie and Luca. Everything you'd want in a baby shoe, but wouldn't necessarily expect to find: breathable leather, soft soles, bold colors, and hip designs. Lucky for us, Livie & Luca have made a visit to the Playground, and they come bearing gifts with a giveaway!
"Livie and Luca baby and toddler shoe creations incorporate brightly colored leathers, bold designs and whimsical modern touches that capture the playful essence of childhood. Our comfortable shoe construction allows beginning walkers, toddlers and preschoolers to navigate playgrounds, city streets and dirt pathways with style and ease."

Soft and sophisticated sums up the shoes we received for Munchkin. We chose Livie and Luca's Tootles Pink style. I was immediately impressed with the quality and workmanship. I Iove the fact that they are handmade. And maybe now strangers will be attracted to her shoes instead of trying to touch my baby's hands! Ha! They are absolutely adorable, and hands-down one of my favorite pair of baby shoes that our little fashionista owns.
I'm sure you guessed by now that anyone behind such a well thought-out and detailed product, just had to be a mother! In fact, there are three moms that we have to thank for providing our kids with such sophisticated style: "As new mothers, the three of us discovered that there was a need for modern and funky shoes for babies and toddlers that were also lightweight, soft, super flexible and affordable. The more we spoke with other moms like us, the more we realized we weren’t alone in our search. We soon came to the realization that the only way to find these shoes was to create our own company and fill the niche ourselves. So while our children slept and between feedings and diaper changes we began a year of research that included many sleepless nights, lots of support from our husbands and plenty of inspiration from the adventurous lives we share with our children. Finally, in May 2005 Livie & Luca was born and take it from us there was no epidural involved!"
Livie and Luca is a relatively new company, already leaving their "footprint" in the kids' world of fashion. And now here's your chance to get your tot ready for the fashion runway with some funky footwear!

Yes, these are lovely shoes. Since I don't know the sex of the baby-to-be in the family, I can't make a selection yet. I love them both!

Emilio's Carmel & Taupe Loafer are my favorite. The shoes look so soft yet durable for a toddler. Great colors and style make these shoes perfect footwear for a toddler.
