ace and friends thoughts

Thanks to our fabulous friends at Umi Shoes, little {e} was generously given a couple of incredible styles from their Fall collection. The Radiant boot was more than adorable. If you didn't think it was possible, it is, just look at them a little closer.




This boot is punctuated with vivid floral designs and grommet details, this blissed out boot accommodates any occasion in little {e's} school calendar. This boot features Umi's signature cushioned fit and easy back zip closure. With a little practice {e} has no problem getting these boots on an off herself. 

We were also fortunate to get some, what {e} likes to refer to as, FANCY shoes. Umi's Panache shoes are just well, that... shoes with lots of style.



Big girls Panache gracefully blends fashion and function. Adorned with a blossoming beauty, the crisp silhouette gives little {e} a new everyday favorite. And favorite is just and understatement, these are her all-time new favorite! With Umi's exceptionally plush fit, elastic ankle strap and durable outsole, how could she not love them. These were very easy for {e} to put on herself and I loved these shoes for that reason and because they were just so darn cute!


Finally, Umi Shoes offer free standard shipping and a no-hassle returns.  Make sure to check out the Umi clearance where a variety of styles are offered at an exceptional discounts.
