Spring in Your Step
You're a lady who lunches (yes, PB&J on the playground counts). Yet your kids are more the make-your-own mud pie type. Eyelet party frocks and delicate Mary Janes don't exactly fit their rough-and-tumble lifestyle, but you're keeping hope alive. You dream of frolicking barefoot through corn fields, but the tots need something to support their growing little feet.
Designer Lucy Sykes Rellie, whose eponymous children's line channels classic English gardens, has partnered with Stride Rite in a spring line that's sure to be an instant classic. Lucy's signature Liberty prints mix with stripes, laces and leather in a footwear collection inspired by lounging under lemon trees and eating gelati in Sicily (sounds nice, doesn't it). Colors, happily named beach glass and fiesta, get embellishments like butterflies and flowers on pint-sized sandals, driving mocs and espadrilles. Made to withstand active kids from pre-walkers to toddlers, cork wedges, water-friendly fabrics and durable design hold up during outdoor play. And since it's Stride Rite, the shoes are comfy as can be – all the latest technologies ensure healthy and happy toes.
Spring is (almost) in the air, so it's time to get the family's wardrobe in gear – even if an Italian vaca or a bushel of English roses isn't in the cards. You'll keep dreaming.
