WHY ORGANIC?

As the awareness of the effect that pesticides and toxins have on the environment and individual health grows, more and more families are realizing the importance of choosing organic products. Making this choice is not only good for our earth; it is good for all of us. With your help, organic textile production will increase, becoming more of a standard in the clothing industry.

If you haven’t already, now is the time to choose organic fabrics for you and your family. Organic cotton has all the high quality, soft and cuddly texture with none of the harsh chemicals to irritate your child’s delicate skin. Our products are not only breathable and cuddly; they are also recyclable, renewable, and biodegradable. With products by ORGANICALLY GROWN, there is no need to compromise between your budget and your conscience. As well as being ECO-FRIENDLY, our clothes are AFFORDABLE and STYLISH.

TODDLER: We have recently added Organic Toddler Clothing to our collection. The collection is comprised of adorable two-piece outfits for boys and girls in sizes 12-24 months, and 2T-4T. With the cute and eco friendly slogans on each of the sets’ t-shirts, your toddler can wear their heart on their sleeve with a new message every day of the week!

INFANT: Also, be sure to check out our Infant Collection! Some of our best sellers include three-piece sets withbaby gowns, body suits, jackets, pants, blankets and hats, all on padded hangers and priced between $12-38.

I was so excited to learn that  Organically Grown has recently expanded their product line to include toddlers’ clothing including items for boys.  I was sent the “Handle with Care” 2 Piece Toddler Set to review:

100% certified organic cotton 2 piece set: Short sleeve T-shirt with “Handle With Care” and smiling Earth applique with shorts with side pocket on a decorative padded hanger. Retails for $30.00

My take:  This was hands down one of the most adorable boy toddler clothing sets I have ever seen.  My youngest kept patting his clothes and saying “soft”.   I love the message it sends…take care of our Earth and recycle.  I love, love, love this outfit and was thrilled to see other toddler sets just as cute!

BabbaCo also makes a beautiful line of burp cloths called Babba Burpies just $22.50 for a two pack with 4 uses ($5 a side) because they are reversible. All the lines coordinate together so you can mix or match perfectly with your infant carrier cover.

Cord and I reviewed these fancy burpies. Again I wished I had known sooner because Mad was a huge spitter upper and so is Cord. Both girls have acid reflux issues and cleanup is necessary. When my son was born I was given a pack of the old fashion everyone cleans with cloth diapers pack for mulit purpose stuff. I never even dreamed of absorbent spit up cloth! Cord is at a stage that spit just pours out of her like a fountain. I almost dread picking her up because I don’t want to be soaked like she is. Babba Burpies are amazingly compact because they are thick, plush, and absorbent. When Cord has soaked through one side I can flip them inside out and still have the inside be dry as a bone. Not sure how that is, but it is awesome when you are out and about.

Just stick your arm in the opening that has a beautifully adorned cuff or designer fabric.

Then flip it inside out and you have a second beautifully adorned cuffed burp cloth.

Easy Peasy as my kids say. These are wonderful, wonderful burp cloths. They absorb and thats what you want when you are out in public and your baby spits up.

BabbaCo also has a clothing line called BabbaTreads with more designs coming soon.

Now the important question…Who is Jessica Kim? She’s a mom, a wife, a serial entrepreneur, and just another woman trying to balance it all. She understands that moms need to switch plans at a moments notice. Jessica designs her products with real parenthood in mind.

This is a very cute company that will defiantly dress up your favorite accessory…your sweet, darling baby!

The shoes i got from Draven are very comfortable.(rv- 49.99) Everyone at school said that they were cool without me pointing out that i got new shoes.

One of them had very cool designs all over it, almost if they were burnt into the shoe.    They didn’t use cows for that pairs i got (sorry i could not find the 2nd picture) and i thought that was so cool. I think that is an added bonus because killing animals for shoes is retarded.

My mom said that they were priced very well for how they look and comparing to other company’s. She said that they looked good for

the price and the patterns on it. There are a lot of cool different styles and shoes to choose from.

They have shoes sizes for tweens to adult , and lots of accessories. Hats, bets, wallets, etc.

Parents View: (by Angela)

The site is the 1st thing you notice. Its outstanding. The colors, graphics, and music really get you in the mood to shop and stare at all the awesome shoes. This type of genre is up my alley. Punk is so pretty on some. I may not pass for it anymore, but its super cute and totally in style now.

Dravens styles are up to date, and afordable. You are spending the same amount on other name brand shoes with out the graphics and without the animal friendly stuff. If i can pay the same amount for a cuter pair of cow friendly shoes.. im all over it.

Draven defiantly caters to each buyer. When you click the Mens section, you have music by awesome bands such as Aiden blaring out your speakers. Then switch over to the women section, and get someone like Lilix.  Not only had i never heard of Draven, but these bands either. I have to come really like all 3!

If i have to name one improvement, i would say, i would like to stay on the same page to order.

Visit Draven On Myspace!

Well i jumped at the chance to review any nifty new shoes for my girls. So i tried these cute Skidders:

Now can you see the bottom?? They look like car tires right? Well they feel like that too except they are sooo bendable. I mean completely flexable yet durable. I joked with the Rep there because i said why did you call them Skidders? LOL They should be called NON Skidders.. but he laughed and said Skidders sounded more fun lol.

The best information for moms.. They are Machine Washable!!

Plus the designs are just too cute, not only can you select some popular characters but also classic looks that will match lots of outfits. I can totally see Skidders looking PERFECT with some Gymboree! (Just saying )

“Skidders was designed with infants in mind. The outsole is rubber so the child can have better traction when learning to stand and walk. The upper material is knit so the foot can breath. It is lightweight, machine washable and comes in a variety of designs that can match with any outfit. The best feature is that it can be used indoors and outdoors. I believe it is a far superior product than what currently exists in the marketplace.”

Skidders are an exciting footwear collection for kids on the go, both indoors and outdoors. Skidders promote healthy development of growing feet, while providing the child with the freedom of movement, traction and protection. These unique shoes are great for every day use all year round.

Defiantly worth buying for sure. You can wear with or without socks, they are great for puddles, and stylish. Plus SUPERRRRR easy to get on and off.

Just think.. if you have a teether..they can chew on their own show LOL.. hey you know they will LOL.

Keep your eyes out because Mommy PR has 2 mom bloggers reviewing the 2 other pair of Skidders.

I actually was a bit concerned about wearing the clogs in the cold weather so I decided to only wear them around the house for a couple days. The thick wooden sole has a rubber base so even though I was walking on my new wood floors, I wasn’t concerned. Of course, they sounded loud as I would take each step, but they weren’t scuffing or leaving marks behind.

Once I gathered the courage to step outside in the 30-40 degree weather, I loved the clogs even more. I was blessed with very flat feet, among a list of other foot problems, so finding footwear that fits and is actually comfortable to wear is quite a challenge. I found it very easy to walk long distances without pain. Plus, my feet weren’t cold when I went to get the mail or take the dog for a walk, which means the genuine leather upper portion of the clog was doing its job well.

On weekday mornings, I stand in a commuter line waiting for a ride to work for about 30 minutes, sometimes longer. I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to give these clogs another test to see how well my feet survived. Of course, the morning I chose to wear the clogs as commuter shoes was the coldest morning of the season! I admit that after about 35 minutes, I realized my toes were cold, BUT, in the clog’s defense, when I wear heels my feet get much colder much quicker. I’m pretty sure that everyones feet were cold that morning, especially since we were all just standing and waiting. It was also incredibly comfortable to stand there for such a long amount of time. After about 10 minutes in my heels, I start shifting my weight back and forth to give one foot at a time a rest. Not with these clogs though, it was easy to stand for so long on the comfortable Swedish handmade wooden base of the clog without my feet hurting.

It goes without saying that these clogs are fashionable footwear. Cape Clogs has plenty of colors and patterns to choose from, so even the pickiest lady on your holiday list would be happy. They recently introduced their new wooly clogs [pictured above], perfect for super toasty toes during the cold weather months. If you like to show support for your cause with every step, Cape Clogs has Breast Cancer Awareness clogs and Autism Awareness clogs, with a portion of proceeds benefitting The National Breast Cancer Foundation and the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism, respectively.

Also, check out the girl’s sizes which feature an adorable strap around the heel to help keep them in place [pictured above]. Finally, for the ladies who love the strappy, heel footwear, Cape Clogs again has you covered with their “Pica Pica High Heels” line!  There truly is a shoe or clog for every lady in your life at Cape Clogs.

Happy Shopping and let us know if you spoil the other ladies in your life (or yourself) with a pair of comfy, fashionable Cape Clogs!

Lisa’s favourite quote is “There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing.”

As an active mom based on Canada’s wet and rugged West Coast, Lisa discovered that finding warm footwear for her young kids was near impossible. With her five-month old son in a backpack, Lisa resorted to wrapping scarves around her son’s legs to keep him warm. When she met another mom with a boot that looked a lot like a fleece-lined chalk bag (which was made-by-hand for her child), Lisa instantly knew that these booties could fill a need in the market. Together, they created some booties samples – made with a fleece lined inner and a coated nylon exterior. The booties were designed with stylish appliqués, soft soles for a custom fit, and toggles at both the calf and ankle so that they stayed on.

After five years in business, the Stonz team knows that they are meeting a real need. They are constantly delighted to hear from parents and grandparents from all over who are enjoying the booties – just as Stonz intended.

I was given the opportunity to review a pair of Stonz Booties for my 20 month old:

A versatile all season bootie that can be worn over shoes, Stonz Linerz, slippers or bare feet.

• For children aged newborn to 4 years.
• Durable coated nylon upper provides wind and water-resistance.
• Fleece lining provides warmth and comfort.
• Wide opening designed to slip on easily.
• Two adjustable toggles at calf and ankle provide custom fit and ensure Booties stay on!
• Rubberized, skid-resistant soft soles.
• Machine wash and dry, inside out on delicate cycle.
• Made in Canada.

Retails for $46.95.

My take:  I do believe this will be my on “go to” product for all winter.  I can’t believe how easy it is to take these booties on/off.  I love every aspect of them.  They are perfect for daycare where I can slip them over his shoes and then easily take them off in seconds and not have to put on another pair of shoes.   I love how there is two toggles which ensure for a correct fit and best of all they have so many adorable prints it literally took me 20 minutes to decide on the dinosaur design!

I love how unique it is, I have never seen a birth print like this one. Amy, co-owner with her husband, was so amazing to work with. She was so helpful and so sweet.

You can also purchase the Production Set which includes a little baby hat! SO cute!

Mitetees sent my son this cute Tee! I took this picture and posted it along with our ultrasound picture yesterday to announce that Baby Blanchard is on it’s way! I got it a little big in hopes that it will fit him when he gets to meet his new baby brother or sister in the hospital….aww! The Tee’s are SO soft and thick, not like some see-throughish white tees I have gotten for him in the past. I just love the quality of it and I am so excited for him to show it off! I hope he is a proud big brother! Thanks Mitetees for being apart of our big announcement AND our upcoming big day!

Before we know it Halloween will be here.  It is never too early to find costumes for your children.  Case in point, last year I waited until the last minute to find a costume for my then 2 year old.  He had his heart set on being a dinosaur and boy did I have trouble finding one that fit him.  No worries this year though, my 3 yr old is set and ready to go thanks to AnyTimeCostumes.com.   First a little about AnyTime Costumes:

AnytimeCostumes.com is your year-round source for adult costumes, child costumes, plus-size costumes, costume accessories, theatrical make-up, masks, wigs, beards, props and holiday decorations.

AnytimeCostumes.com is a family owned and operated company. We began in 1975 as a retail party and costume store and grew to be Long Island’s leading Halloween and holiday costume supplier. In 1999, we expanded to the Internet availing our 30 years of retail costume expertise to the world. At AnytimeCostumes.com, we strive to differentiate ourselves from the other costume sites. We also ship 95% of the orders received by 2:00 pm Eastern time the same business day!

Our experienced buyers strive to provide the best in product quality and price. Our Costume Professionals consistently provide excellent customer service. All of our staff is knowledgeable of our vast product line and dedicated to making your shopping experience fun, satisfying and safe. In total, our staff has over 100 years of costume experience.

AnytimeCostumes.com is constantly adding new products to our inventory of over 5000 products. We keep our warehouse stocked to meet your costuming needs throughout the year for every holiday and occasion. At AnytimeCostumes.com, costumes are not just for Halloween. We carry a huge selection of costumes for all holidays including Mardi Gras, Easter, Renaissance Faire, St. Patrick’s Day, Purim, President’s Day, Luau, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. We also carry costuming for school plays, amateur and professional theatrical productions and corporate events.

I sat the 3 yr down at the kitchen table and ran through all the possibilities he could choose from.  We quickly narrowed it down to Superman, Batman, and Scooby Doo.  Though once he saw the Scooby Doo Costume the decision was made.

My Take:  I am thoroughly impressed with AnytimeCostumes.com.  Not only were they super quick with delivery (2 days after I made my choice the package was at my door), the quality of the costume is top-notch.  I actually hope we will have a cold fall day on Halloween since the Scooby Doo costumeis so thick.  Another thing I love- it is all one piece so we can’t lose anything.  I ordered a size medium ( 5-7 years) because he is so tall and I have to say it is just a little big which adds to the charm because Scooby Doo even has more wrinkles because of it.

The Scooby Doo Super Deluxe Child Costume retails for $49.99.

At Umi, we build real children’s shoes. Not floppy leather slipper socks. And not miniature grown-up shoes. We know a lot about growing feet. Front to back. Side to side. Top to bottom. Umi shoes are designed with children’s feet in mind.

Around here we have some pretty high standards. We craft our shoes from the highest quality nappa and nubuck leather, with carefully constructed lasts. Our manufacturing process includes more than twenty quality control checks to ensure that every pair of shoes meets our standards. The result: Umi shoes are flexible, supportive, built to fit, and go the distance.

Umi was gracious enough to let me try out fall shoe styles for both of my boys.  I fell in love with the Aileron style for my 3 year old:

and the Major style for my 18 month old:

My take:  First let me say that when you are ordering sizes, please pay attention to the sizing.  Euro sizing is a bit different from US sizing.  I did fine with my 18 month old but my 3 yr old not so much.  I wanted to get a larger size since we already had fall shoes that his grandparents bought him so I thought I would stock up for next year.  Please actually measure your child’s shoe size.  His US shoe size was a 12 so I thought a Euro size 1 would suffice for next year….they are a bit too big.  No worries though because I love stocking up on quality things so this will just go in the storage bin for a later date.

I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of these shoes.  They are extremely light-weight but very durable.  My 18 month old frequently trips over his new shoes but these were so lightweight he immediately took to them.  He has worn them every day since I received them and there are no blisters or rough patches on his tender feet which also frequently occurs with his new shoes.  I really like the colors of both shoe styles….perfect for fall.  I always get frustrated at how cute girl shoes are but never boy shoes…I can’t say that anymore because I really like the selection of boys shoes from Umi.

Umi wants to give each MommyPR reader a coupon code for $5.00.  Please note that the coupon will expire in 1 week (9/17).  Use the code mompr917

I wore plenty of them throughout the 11 years I did Ballet and was SO embarrassed, but now I am dying to have a girl so I can put her in one! Haha JK! (ok not really…) Tutus for just dance recitals are a thing of the past, girls wear them to parties, for Halloween, dress-up, and even pair it with a tee for a casual day. Little Diva Tutus is the perfect place for all of your tutu needs…seriously, I have never seen such a wide variety of tutus in my life! And don’t worry Moms, they even make them for you too! So stop stretching out your toddler’s tutu when no one is home…haha. But really, they offer tutus for every size, newborn to adult! Little Diva Tutus also offers fun accessories to go perfectly with your beautiful Tutu!

I surprised my adorable little friend, princess Chloe Jaide, with this stunning Dalmatian Puppy Tutu for her birthday! (Thanks to Little Diva Tutus!) Her mom made her keep it in the box until I could take pictures because she knew she would never take it off and would get it dirty, SO as soon as she got to wear it, she posed like 100 different poses for me! She LOVES tutus and this one is her favorite because it’s a puppy one. It even came with little matching “ears” and a little tail in the back (which I can’t believe I forgot to get a picture of!! It is made with the same black ribbon as the bow in front and the same black spots..it is uh-dorable!) How creative and fun is that?! This Dalmatian Set is perfect for any costume party this fall! I can’t think of a cuter Dalmatian costume for Halloween! Not a big fan of puppies? Click here to check out what other Costume/Character sets they have!

Just in case you can’t tell by the pictures, Chloe LOVED her Tutu and so did her Mom and I! I just can’t get over how amazing, creative and well made this little outfit is! If you look at the top picture of just the Tutu, you can see the beautiful ribbon waistline and the perfectly tied bow! I was very surprised at how soft the fabric was, it was NOTHING like the cheap-o scratchy ones I had to wear! I CANNOT wait to have a girl so I can get her one, they are just beautiful! This set retails for $27.98 which I don’t think is bad at all. I see Tutus for that much and this one includes the adorable ear clips. Plus, if your daughter chooses this as her Halloween costume this year, she can still wear it all year round which makes it a great investment.

Stop by Little Diva Tutus and see all of the amazing Tutus they make!

AND, if you find something you want, you can get 20% off using the code NEWBIE

Even though summer is drawing to a close, we can’t be fooled into thinking that it’s safe to be outside in the sun’s rays without protection. No matter what time of year or where you live, sun safety should be a number one priority. Lucky for us, UV Skinz developed a line of clothing and accessories to make basking in the sun for hours worry-free and fun!

UV Skinz was created out of the founder’s desire to spread awareness about the dangers of the sun’s rays and the importance of protecting ourselves from skin damage.

“I started UV Skinz after losing my 32-year-old husband to melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.  It was this experience and having to raise our three little boys on my own that gave me the drive and determination to educate consumers about the importance of proper sun protection any chance.”

UV Skinz generously sent me this ladies shirt to review, here are my thoughts:

The first thing I noticed about the shirt is how soft it is! I’ve spent a lot of time outside participating in water sports and have a small collection of water-made clothing items to accompany my activities. I had prepared for the typical feel of the fabric, but was pleasantly surprised to feel how soft it was. Of course, this softness made it easy to slide right on over my head. For moms looking to protect their children with UV Skinz, the ease of slipping on clothing is important!

The shirt covered half way down my arms, the base of my neck and stopped just below my belly button. The areas that sunburn easily were all covered: my shoulders, back of neck, back and chest! Again, for moms that need to protect their children from sunburn, UV Skinz provides lots of protection in a lightweight, smooth fabric that doesn’t get heavy and weighed down when wet. And the most fun aspect of UV Skinz shirts…there a lots of styles and colors to choose from! They come in babies, kids, teens, and adult male and females sizes.

If I had one complaint about the shirt, it’s that I have a long torso and the shirt looked a little funny when I paired it only with shorts. But when I’m wearing a swim suit underneath, it’s easy to slip the shorts off and wear just the swim suit and the UV Skinz shirt for a stylish and protected swim outfit! (I could have really used a UV Skinz shirt a couple months ago when I was snorkeling and badly sunburned my back…I won’t be burning my back anymore though!)

Since UV Skinz is so passionate about their quality products, they would like to offer one lucky winner ANY UV Skinz item of their choice from the UV Skinz website!

I was very happy when Teva let me review a product from them. They sent me the Mush Flip Flops to try out. These are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever wore. I am not just saying that but they truly are. I usually have trouble with flip flops because of the 3 point thong that goes in between your toes. I had no trouble with these ones.

They have a sturdy, 3 point thong upper featuring smooth lightweight tubular webbing. I can not even tell you how comfortable these flip flops are. If you already own a pair you know what I mean and if you don’t own a pair then you should consider them. The Mush Flip Flop comes in diffrent designs and the men and womens sell for $24.00. They also have kids and toddlers Mush Flip Flops for $16.00 and the infants Mush Flip Flops for $15.00. Those are really good prices if you could have a pair that actually makes your feet feel so good. Teva has many different designs for the Mush Flip Flops that you could get any color to fit your closet attire.

I want to tell you some more about the Mush. The Teva Mush has a soft durapontex topsole with enhanced arch support and they have molded rubber and 7mm of the softest EVA outsoles. Teva’s Mush flip flop for women is called Mush for a reason – it’s soft, squishy and incredibly comfortable because of the topsole that forms to your foot’s unique shape. The Mush is a long-time favorite to rest your feet after a big outdoor excursion.

I also would love to tell you about the Mandalyn Wedge. They also have the super comfortable effect and in different colors for your wardrobe also. The Mandalyn Wedge sandal takes our classic women’s flip flop to new heights, literally. With a 1.5-inch wedge heel and fashionable ribbon webbing, these wedge flip flops will take you from the beach to dinner in no time. New this season.

Would you like to click on over to Teva and see the Mush or Mandalyn or just curious about what other shoes they have? Just CLICK HERE and it will take you there…

They have very nice comfortable and sylish shoes.

Asics was nice enough to send me two pairs of shoes to review. I was  happy because my daughter wears the same size as me even though she is only 11. I told her I would review them then she could take her pick at which one she would want for school..I must say she was rather happy with that idea.  Both of us were very pleased with the looks of the shoes. I have wore both shoes off and on and I have to tell you that they are very comfortable. I admit that sometimes when I buy our shoes for my family that I go on mostly the looks. I think most people do. Well, Asics has a  pair of shoes  for the whole family with many different styles and colors to choose from. You can not go wrong when you have shoes that look and feel great at the same time. They have running,walking,cross training,tennis,sports styles and kids shoes. They also have team sports which includes shoes for volleyball,wrestling,track & field,cheer,field sports and basketball.

Asics has a shoe fit chart on their website that tells you which shoes would be the best fit for your feet.  You can just click here to see which shoe type you need.  I have to show you the pairs that were sent for me to review below. My daughter choose the black ones which are the GEL-Trabuco 12WR. So I got the white ones which are the GEL-Fluent TR2. Both are great shoes that fit your feet just right.

I want to show you a couple of shoes for the men. There are tons more than I am going to show you but I wanted to just show a couple for each.

I will show you a couple more of the womens section below.

Now for a couple of the shoes from the kids section. I will put a pair for the boys and a pair for the girls.

Asics not only carries shoes but other things as well. They carry apparel, hats, socks, gloves, arm warmers,wristbands,headbands and Chafe Free. They also carry many different bags in different styles.

Look at this  locker bag.Maybe the running bag, team briefcase or the Asics backpack would be the right choice for you or someone you know.

There are many different choices for you to choose from. My experiences with the shoes my daughter and I both received have been really good. I really have nothing negative to say about them. The prices of the shoes and accessories are about the same as I pay for any other name brand that I would buy. Quality and styles along with comfort are the things I look for. It usually goes style (looks), comfort and then quality but the shoes I reviewed had all of the above. If you would ask me if I would purchase these shoes again I would tell you yes. I loved the feel and looks of the shoes. My daughter would tell you the same. She is loving her new shoes and can not wait to show them off at school.

LuLu*s carries tops, bottoms, shoes, denim, dresses, gifts, accessories and jewelry. LuLu*s started with the vision of providing the latest for the fashionably hip along with providing exceptional value, quality, and superb customer service.

Since its’ inception in 1996, LuLu*s has grown from a mother-daughter dream to one of the web’s most outstanding shopping experiences. They offer a select choice of clothing, shoes and accessories. Their brands consist of emerging new designers and our buyers travel the world so that you can find a style to call your own. They buy in very limited quantities and many of their items come fresh from our designers’ studios. LuLu*s welcomes  you and hopes  that you visit them often. They add new, great items each week.

I got the chance to review their GoMax Bianca Black Lace up Oxford on a heel like the one pictured. I love them. They are not to high so I don’t look to much taller. I wanted a pair of heels so I could stand next to my husband and not feel so short and have a pair that  looked great with jeans. These heels are comfortable and great with casual or dressy clothes. That is one reason I like them. What could be more fashionable than the menswear look updated with girly pride. The Go Max Bianca Black Lace Up Oxford on a Heel is your perfect office with attitude heel. Closed toe upper boasts classic wingtip stitching with lace up detailing. Cushioned insole and lining in lilac. Black wood grain heel is 3.25″ high. Non skid flex sole. My first words when I opened the box was that I could not believe how much prettier the GoMax Bianca Black Lace up Oxfords were in person. I thought they were cute in the picture and thought I would like them and I did.

I also received the City of Angels glasses in black. I thought they were cute and stylish. They are comfortable and do not make my face as hot as my last ones did which was a major plus for me. They fit just right on my face and my daughter is all the time borrowing them from me. These stylish sunglasses have square frames with metal accents on the arms of the glasses. Frames come in pearl, black, brown, white and tortoise. I think that they are very cool and light.

I have to show you all some other items they carry. These are just a few of the wonderful products they carry. I know there will be at least one thing and probably more that you will just love from there.

I really love those Anne Michelle Glamour Black Snake Double Platform Peep Toe Pump that’s pictured up above. I am really thinking of purchasing them for my brothers wedding.
