Be still my beating heart... shoes with hearts.
My mom gets teary-eyed when talking about a pair of red Mary Jane shoes I had as a little girl and so I've always envisioned getting a similar pair for my daughter.

And then I saw these red Mary Jane shoes with white hearts.

Seriously. Can it get any cuter?

See Kai Run's Smaller Collection for babies and toddlers does it again with their handcrafted leather Monica shoes. Mixing the perfect amount of sweet and modern, the Monica shoes are ideal for Valentine's Day but can also be worn well into the spring and summer. The whole Smaller collection is all about comfort and, of course, cute.

I get teary-eyed thinking about how one day I'll be telling my daughter about her red Mary Jane shoes. Yes, I'm getting teary-eyed thinking about getting teary-eyed. -Elizabeth
