This is one of my favorite songs because I love shoes. I knew it was only a matter of time before the shoe bug bit my daughter because she is all of the best parts of me. I just didn't expect this to happen a few days after her 3rd birthday. I thought I had a couple more years.....
Have you seen the commercials and heard the annoying jingle for the Lelli Kelly Shoes? Mallory has been mesmerized by them and begging for a pair of Wiley Kylie Shoes (this is what she calls them). They are a european shoe company that carries canvas shoes with colorful sequins and rhinestones and some have designs on them. Here is what they look like...they are adorable!
As soon as I figured out what Wiley Kylie shoes were I started looking for them online and I soon discovered that Lelli Kelly is out of her ever loving mind. There is no chance that I will spend $70 on a pair of shoes for a
Then I remembered that I'm a little bit crafty and I started looking for some plain canvas shoes to decorate for my little princess. This was harder than it seems. I finally found some at Wal.Mart but they only had one pair left in her size...GREEN.
Did I tell you there was a baby boom here 3 years ago. I've had to order (or travel to Denver for) most all of Mallory's shoes because her size is always sold out. It's Bananas!
Introducing....Wiley Kylie Shoes!
So...Mallory. Thinks these are REAL Lelli Kelly shoes and if any of you tell her they aren't....I'll hunt you down and make you buy health care. If you want to send me a free pair of Lelli Kelly shoes or you want to purchase a pair for my daughter because you feel sorry for her that she has to wear faux Lelli Kelly shoes...she wears a size 7. Size 24 in european sizing.
Oh hey! Do you guys know my friend ERIN? She had to move her blog and go kind of anonymous because she's a teacher and is hiding from Google Happy students. She's got some new stomping grounds at Tales From Our Neck of the Woods and she's giving away a TARGET gift card! Check her out!

Linking up with Tatertots and Jello's Weekend Wrap Up Party!
They look GREAT!!
ReplyDeleteOh my, those are adorable!!! I might need to have you design a pair for me! Seriously, I like yours better -- you're such a fun and festive mommy!
ReplyDeleteThose are the cutest shoes ever. I like them better than the original. You should THOSE on your Etsy store.
ReplyDeleteOh you make me laugh, Connie! Those shoes are ADORABLE! Cuter than the Wylie Kylies for sure!
ReplyDeletetoo freaking cute!
ReplyDeleteI looked those up after I saw the commercial too...they are ridiculous! And yours turned out so adorable!
ReplyDeletebetch. :)
ReplyDeleteI have been hearing about Lelli Kelly shoes for YEARS. When we lived in Germany we had British TV ... it must be a British company b/c they were constantly playing those commercials. My daughter was BEGGING me for them. I tried to find them ... couldn't find them locally or on-line at that time. Almost had a friend in England try to locate them.
ReplyDeleteHow did you jazz up those shoes? Do you mind giving instructions? I think this would be a fun thing to do with Lily this summer .... I have NO crafty skills so any help you can offer is needed. :o)
Thanks for the love! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen we traveled to Italy 3 years ago, I saw this brand of shoes and picked up a pair for my daughter who was then 6. She wore them out!!! I thought they were adorable but so pricy!!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job making your own Mom!!!

Your such a good mom Connie!! Those sneakers you made M are adorable!! You should add them to your etsy shop. I bet they would sell. Heck - my own daughter would wear those!
ReplyDeleteI did however also make the mistake and clicked on the Lilli Kelly Kids link. And, then I was like - I. NEED. THOSE. FOR. Madaline! NOW! Oh my goodness those shoes are SO STINKING cute!! But, alas, never in a million years would I spend that on a pair of shoes for her. Sheesh - I don't even spend that much money on a pair of shoes for myself.
Oh, Connie, those are adorable. You did a great job. Please post instructions on how to make them.

They are really easy! I used embellish glue, sequins and little Jolee rhinestones (found in the jewelry making section of craft stores)
ReplyDeleteHowever. Two sequins have already popped off. So I think I'm going to try some of that Gorilla Glue that JenJen talks about all the time.
I think I'll put them in my ETSY shop and see what happens...they were super fun to make!
Those are so cute Connie. Wow - Ella would love those. So blingy and stylin'!
ReplyDeleteLove them. You did a great job!!!
XOOX

oh my gosh i always see that commercial!! those shoes are adorable lady! you did an awesome job!! will you make me some :) ??
ReplyDeleteThe next time you come to Denver, I'll share a little secret with you. The place I buy my girls LK shoes for $25. ;)
ReplyDeleteGirl, those shoes are cute. My MIL bought my now 3 y.o. some LK's for her 2nd bday. The receipt fell out of the box and I almost had a code brown. She wore them like 3 times before they were too small. I wanted to die. I passed them along to my great niece, who I hope will really wear them!!
ReplyDeleteConnie they are the CUTEST sneakers ever! For DIY, I think you got a brand there sister you could capitalize on... Wiley Kylie sneakers, great name too!!! Now, you got any ideas for BOYS, minus the sequins and beads! ; )
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are awesome! I ran into the same problem when Evie was little - everything in her size was always picked over because of a boom. Irritating! And a lol to the 'I'll make you buy health care!' Too funny :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so crafty! I love them :) What a lucky little girl but you are soooo in trouble when she is old enough to know when you pull a fast one on her :)
