Did you know that 1+1 = 3? OK, even my maths isn’t that bad but wouldn’t it be great if every time we went shopping and bought two things, we got the third free? A delicious idea but sadly it just doesn’t happen much. That is, until now. My go to kids shoe shop Pisamonas is offering just this. Buy any 2 pairs of shoes and get the 3rd one free. Yes, free! Pisamonas already offer incredible value for money with beautiful, quality kids shoes priced mostly in the £15-£30 range and all the kids shoes come with free shipping and returns. But now they’ve gone a step further with this very special offer available from 18th Feb to 29th Feb.
When I was a kid, I remember visiting London for a holiday and my parents took me and my brother to Hamley’s toy store for the first time. It was like a dream come true. We were small, wide-eyed kids who couldn’t quite believe a shop like this existed. We had only ever been to small toy shops before, so to see this kind of scale was almost too much for us. Everywhere I turned, there were toys and games that went from floor to ceiling or so it seemed to me. Toys that I could touch and feel and smell! We weren’t allowed to buy much – we were each given a small budget but that didn’t matter. It was the looking, the exploring, the touching and the just being there that was the best part. I also think it would have been quite boring if we had unlimited budgets because where’s the fun in being able to buy everything.
Sometimes I think back on that experience and wish that all the brands I love for kids would be under one roof. These days I am much more in to the non-mainstream stuff which can sometimes be hard to find and almost impossible to find under one roof. While I keep dreaming about this fantasy shop that will probably never exist, I’ve discovered a virtual place that comes pretty close. It’s called Little Flea and it’s a one-stop place to discover some of the best boutiques for babies and kids.
If, like me, you like to look beyond the mainstream and seek out something that little bit more beautiful or unique for your kids then Little Flea is the place to go to. You’ll find familiar favourites like Bobo Choses and of course my very own ebabee shop too 😉 but you’ll also discover some very cool new lines like Little Indians (love them) and Magnus & Mouse. Little Flea isn’t a shop but the owner Anna carefully hand-picks and features gorgeous stuff for babies and kids which otherwise would be very hard to find. So it’s a great place to browse, discover and get inspired.
A little business tip – if you have a stylish small business or shop for kids then you too can get in touch with Anna and ask to be featured on her site. Anna is very helpful and approachable and loves the brands and products she features.
Are you a bag lady or a shoe lady? Bags or shoes, shoes or bags? I’m very much a shoe lady as my ever growing shoe collection will reveal. And since I’ve been blessed with a little girl, well my shoe obsession has trickled down to mini shoes too. But with mini shoes I usually have to hold back because kids feet grow so quickly; that is until I discovered Pisamonas who make the cutest and most affordable shoes for kids.
If you’ve been following my blog you’ll know that I’m a fan of Pisamonas shoes so much so that I’m proud to say I often work with them too. Pisamonas are all about Spanish made shoes for boys and girls at incredible prices which means you can indulge in a few pairs for the kids every season and not have to restrict yourself to just one or two pairs like I used to. Now Pisamonas are offering even better value with a sale. Their already unbeatable prices are reduced further but just for a few days. Because their prices are normally so low, their sales don’t last long – usually no more than a week or 10 days at most. Here are a few of my favourites from the sale – all for under £20 (yes, under £20!). Aren’t they pretty? I’m loving the softer colours for Summer so that’s what I’ve picked but there are loads more styles so do check out their sale before it’s over.
I’ve been waiting patiently for the British Summer to arrive (ok not so patiently) but it seems to be coming finally! And someone has been tormenting me for a pair of sandals. I thought this kind of torment only started when they were 16, not six! But I’d much rather Anya ask me for something like sandals that she really wants and will use rather than for something she wants simply because her friends have it. I’ve had my eye on a pair that I spotted months ago but have been waiting for the right weather. Now that it’s here I’m ordering!
The sandals I’ve been coveting are the Spanish Avarcas by Pisamonas – they are so gorgeous! Anya has already had a pair of Pisamonas shoes before and they have been worn a fair amount and still look great. So I know the sandals will be just as good and they are so reasonably priced that I can even splurge on two pairs – once you see the colours you’ll know why it’s hard to choose just one. Besides those sandals they have loads more styles and another that caught my eye is a very pretty pair of flip-flop style sandals in similar colours as the Avarcas but with a bit of gold trim. Perfect for a Summer party!
I tend to favour European shoes for Anya because I find that they fit her narrow feet better and they offer such fun styles too. I’m so glad to have discovered Pisamonas who’s shoes are all made in Spain and they are some of the most reasonably priced kids shoes I have ever come across and the prices even include free delivery. There is lots of fun stuff for boys too including the Avarcas sandals which are regularly worn by little boys in Spain and I think they look so cool. For the boys I also love the canvas plimsolls which come is some fresh colours for Summer and those soft suede loafers are so fun too. So if you want some stylish European shoes for your kids this Summer then check out Pisamonas and you won’t be disappointed with the range, the colours and the incredible prices.
Here’s a short video to give you a better flavour for the shoes:

Ever since Anya started walking, we’ve had trouble buying shoes. Her feet are very narrow which has meant regular high-street shoes have never worked for her. Instead I have had to seek out European shoes which for some reason are narrower than British shoes (I wonder why). We all know that getting a good fit with shoes is so important especially for growing feet; I’ve even been told that getting well fitted shoes for a child is as important as looking after their teeth. Because of this I never compromised on what I bought her even though it often meant spending more than I wanted to.
Recently I discovered Pisamonas shoes from Spain and I was keen to try them out as they are European shoes that are very affordable too. They generously sent me this cute pair of brogues that I love not only because you can wear them with anything – skirts, jeans, dresses – but also because they fit really well. These shoes come in a range of colours but I really like the neutral tones that can be paired with fun socks like these polka dotted ones. Anya’s also worn these shoes with the brightest pink socks and they look really cool. I’ve been putting off teaching her to tie her laces which I knew I needed to do sooner rather than later so these shoes have come in really hand for that too! She is quite happy to practice away on them.
Pisamonas have a big range of affordable kids shoes in lots of styles and colours for babies, boys and girls and have just recently launched in the UK. As part of their launch, they are offering £10 off your first purchase (of £40 or more) till 28th February 2015 and they ship worldwide. Apart from the brogues that I chose for Anya, I really like the Avarca Menorcan sandals especially in the palest pink. Those are definitely on my wish list for the Summer. You can visit Pisamonas to see more or else check out this cute video which shows a range of their shoes.
P.S. Anya insisted on jumping in a big puddle right before we took photos that is why the tips of her shoes are wet!
