Pinned and Purchased! (Livie and Luca Woodland Boots)

Even though I've cut down substantially on online spending, I still managed to have a nice pile of parcels waiting for me when we came back from Florida.  It felt like Christmas really!  At least some of the items were only $5-10 and it was fun to check everything out.

Amongst the pile of goodies were the Livie and Luca Woodland Boots I bought for Aleena from Babysteals.  I think that when you pin something in Pinterest, it almost feels like you have permission to buy it when you see it on sale.  In my defense, my baby girl doesn't have many shoes that aren't sandals for the summer so these adorable boots should get a lot of wear out of them.  They are made of a soft leather and they open at the top with a large velcro closure so they are easy to get on and off.  Really, they are just so darn cute that it wouldn't even matter if they were a bit inconvenient (which they aren't).

These are the type of boots that almost makes me wish they made adult sized ones although I would likely look ridiculous in this style of shoe.  Here are some more photos!

PS- These boots were the most expensive item in the pile of parcels at $33 including shipping.  They are priced regularly at $47.50.

One year olds don't sit still for very long..this was the best I could do!

Here's a little info from their website about the shoes:

Artisan Touch
We want people to remember that our baby and toddler shoes are made by hand. In this spirit, we’ve asked our shoe makers to leave their markings which can be found under the strap. To reduce our carbon footprint, Livie & Luca chooses to use remains of high quality leather that would otherwise be discarded. In addition, because they are handmade, every pair of shoes will be a little different. Each pair of shoes is as unique as the child who wears them.
