Faye and I recently had the chance to test-drive new shoes from the Cole Haan fall collection, including their brand new line for kids and babies. I chose complementary styles for me and for Faye and we took them for a spin around our Brooklyn neighborhood. No surprise, I looked for shoes in a classic design and with promise of sartorial versatility for both of us. Faye’s in a pair of adorable Baby Grand Oxfords (stolen from the boy’s department). And I’m in the very lovely Jagger Wingtip Oxfords (because I love a good oxford, too).
If you’d like to see a little live-action video of us taking the shoes for a walk, you can head HERE.
In the interview I chat a little bit about my book and a little bit about my love for our neighborhood. Mostly I also do my best to master the fine arts of putting a squirmy baby into a pair of shoes and walking in a straight line on cobblestone with a baby on my back. The jury’s still out on the mastery. Glimpses of Faye’s ridiculously cute waddle and impish grin obviously steal the show.

That video was so adorable! Love the shoes as well, looks comfy yet stylish.
How precious! What a sweet video. Love the shoes too!
Oh, they come in wide:) A rare, beautiful thing.
Both you and Faye are adorable!
The shoes are adorable, but I thought you were a vegetarian?
I am! But I also wear leather. You can read more about it in my minimalist wardrobe post about shoes!
Too cute – can't handle it! Love Cole Haan so much. š
So cute! How do you deal with blisters when forgoing socks? I always end up with blisters when breaking in new shoes (and sometimes afterwards) so any tips are appreciated.
I like to wear preemptive band-aids! They let you break in the shoes without getting hot spots (or actual blisters!).
YOU TWO! be still my heart!
Smooch.
I love wingtips! So hard to find wingtips for women! Cole Haan it is…
Such an adorable video. I am waiting for your book to come out.
Thanks! Me too ;)!
You both look so pretty! I love Faye's little shoes! I always steal from the boys section when shopping for my little girl too. Seems like the boys get more of the simple classic looks whereas the girls have ALOT of bows, sparkles and glitter. Good choice of shoe on you also, seems like they will be a very practical addition to your wardrobe! The video is beyond adorable!
Agreed! And thank you!
love my oxfords too. and i also like to wear mine with bare feet. you look great in bangs and faye is a sweetie. thanks for sharing with us.
Such a treat! Oh the power of video. It's such a lovely form.
Agreed!
So adorable. And so nice to see the two of you on video. It gives a totally different feel.
Thanks!
Such a cute video! Are you wearing an Everlane tee?
Thank you! I'm wearing the linen tee by Zady!
The video makes me so happy, i love you! I might have to head to Cole Haan soon for something nice for fall. š <3
Such a sweet video! I really admire the way you handle brand collaborations — it all feels very genuine and true to the spirit of your blog, aesthetic, and values. (Plus, too adorable for words!)
Thanks so much. That means so much to me.
So cute! š What jeans are you wearing?
Thank you! These are the Frame denim jeans that I wrote about in my recent jeans post!
Love the video! Faye is too much! You're awesome. :))
I appreciate all your posts, from bedtime stories (I love picture books!), popcorn, and spice organization to shoe or paint product endorsements. One of the great benefits of living with less is the ability to take greater care in the curation of useful, quality items. I can attest to comfort and quality of Cole Haans because I love my (thrifted) pair. And I appreciate seeing another mom putting her daughter in boy shoes. They are usually so much more classic! Great post. Great video. Love the shoes.
