Namastè!
I hope you're experiencing copious amounts thereof.
Tonight I'm putting together Baby Namastè's outfits for the week and I chuckled a bit at the notion of matching his shoes.
Baby Namastè's been a stylish kid from pretty much the womb, but we didn't always have the easiest time finding his outfits. (Thank goodness he is in a 12 month top now, as that gives us more choices.)
Shoes for babies are completely for decoration. A baby who doesn't walk, doesn't really need them. I think baby shoes are pure adorable, but I've had a hard time finding cute soft-bottomed ones for my littlest one. (They need to feel the floor as they begin learning to walk--it allows them to use the muscles in their feet to get their balance. In a hard shoe, they don't use their toes and soles for balance; they only rely on the shoe.)
Then we discovered--and collaborated with!!!--Freshly Picked moccasins. These soft mocs are so luxe! They are handcrafted of genuine leather (or suede), and they range in size from newborn to preschooler.

We got Baby Namastè, also known as Bud, his mocs back in October. Immediately upon opening the box, I was hit with that fresh genuine leather smell. You know the one! That scent that lets you know you're getting the real McCoy.

| Look at these moccasins!!! |
I took the little moccasins out and was immediately impressed. They are, for lack of better term, little pieces of suede perfection. (We got the stone suede mocs--they are a beautiful grey and fit perfectly with the baby's wardrobe.)

I love the attention to detail in these moccasins, I cannot say that enough. They are just--so perfect and so adorable.
I hadn't put shoes on Baby Namastè's feet much. He has little soft slippers and grippy socks. But we weren't really having luck with finding good quality soft-bottomed shoes that also looked good. We mainly saw them for little girls which is great--but we have a boy.
When I put the mocs on his foot, he didn't squirm. In addition to being pliable, the Freshly Picked moccasins stretch and "grow" to accommodate baby's foot as they wear them. Baby Namastè doesn't walk of course, so his have probably only shaped themselves to accommodate his newfound love of standing.
I've had so much fun dressing him up with these moccasins! He is such a handsome little darling and I love styling him, and these mocs helped put his baby debonair on maximum.
The most stylish baby in Target!

Getting ready to announce the winner of the Namastè & Freshly Picked Giveaway.

| Patiently waiting to see who won!
I'm just pleased as punch with these moccasins. They are adorable, durable, and so stylish. They aren't over-the-top. I believe they are comfortable for my son's little feet. He never fusses about them.
When you order your moccasins, you'll need to measure your little one's feet. This is to ensure the best fit. Freshly Picked moccasins don't seem to run big or small, but they do have what I like to call a bit of flex room. They won't fit too snugly unless you order them too small. (I ordered a size 3 for Baby Namastè--he favors thicker socks, and I know these mocs will get much wear as the weather changes because they're so versatile.
Naturally I advise socks. Baby feet sweat just like any other feet!
I truly enjoy being an ambassador for this brand, and I'm too excited to share all the giveaways and exciting sales events we have throughout the year!
Oh my gosh, one more thing. The moccasins come with a keepsake bag for storage. It's so cute, and so thoughtful.
Thoughtful is a word that comes to mind immediately when I think of Freshly Picked. In addition to providing stellar customer care from the moment you enter the site. They answer questions as timely as possible and truly strive to ensure customer satisfaction. Most companies dont maintain contact after a sale, but you can contact Freshly Picked at any point in or after your transaction and they'll help you.
Also--the creator of these moccasins sends a thank you letter with each purchase. I thought this was automated. I responded. She wrote back again! That was enough to secure me as a customer, period. I'm big on thank you, and I love knowing my business is appreciated. (I recently ordered two more pairs of mocs, which I'll show you as soon as they arrive!)
I hope you've enjoyed our first shoe adventure!
Namastè!
