Chicks Dig ‘Em

March 25, 2009 · 88 comments

*****Lucky comment number #75 was randomly chosen as the winner of the Eleven Collection shoes.  Congratulations to Lori from Building Our Nest!*****

My 2.5 year-old son has the most disgusting habit.  It’s almost embarrassing to admit, even though it’s his habit, not mine.

He picks his nose.

That’s not the worst part though.  The picking of the nose is probably something I could live with.

What he does with his, uh, finds?  That’s the worst part.

He inspects whatever comes out on the end of his finger.  And then he eats it.

Gross.  I know.

His daddy has taken to telling him, “Don’t eat your boogers Jayce.  Chicks don’t dig that.”

Well?  They don’t.

Jayce’s disgusting habit has yet to deter the chicks from digging him though.  He’s honestly a virtual chick magnet.  Seriously.  I’d start to worry if Jeff began finding excuses to take Jayce on solo ventures all the time because I know the ladies would be flocking to them in droves.

I’d like to think that his curly blond locks and gorgeous blue eyes are the draw.  But if I’m being honest, I know there is more to it than that.

The kid has style.  Style that comes, in no small part, from his footwear.  And his footwear?  It comes from Eleven Collection shoes.

Every single time he wears those shoes in public someone, somewhere compliments them.  Every. time.

Not that I blame them; I am head over heels for Eleven shoes myself.  But really?  Looking at these?  How could anyone not be?

Adorable, yes?

But the beauty of these shoes is far more than skin deep.  I can totally vouch for their durability.  Jayce started wearing his first pair of Eleven shoes last year in September.  He still wears them–that same pair–today.  They’re leather so they give a bit and stretch to accommodate his foot.  Even his big ‘ol honkin’ feet.  He normally has to wear a shoe designated as wide, but the Eleven shoes fit him comfortably.  And we all know how boys play.  But in spite of the wear (and plenty of tear) Jayce has put on his shoes, they’ve held up amazingly well!

The Spring line (available in sizes 9-3) includes a stylin’ array of sandals, tennies, and dress shoes for boys and girls.  Personally, I’m partial to the Caper and the Joaquin for boys; Jayce owns a pair of each style.  Cassidy also has two pairs in her closet and I’m thinking of ordering her a pair of the Maya’s to wear with her Easter dress.

How about your little ones?  Could they use an update to their spring footwear?  You’re in luck then because I’m giving a pair away.  To enter, just click your way over to Eleven Collection’s website and take a look at what they’ve got available.  Then come back here and leave me a comment (by midnight on Thurs., April 2nd) telling me which pair sets your heart ablaze.  I will randomly select one winner on Friday, April 3rd.  Any entries that don’t comply with these directions will be disqualified.

For those of you who don’t win…right now Eleven Collection shoes has a free shipping offer if you order two or more pairs.  And they really have some great deals going on.  Click on the “Sale” button in the lower left hand corner of the page to snag a hot deal!

I have wanted to get my daughter a pair of eleven shoes, I have herd of there great durablity. And my daughter could sure put that to the test. It is a tuff choice between the Maya and the Alexi, but I think I would have to go with the Alexi in size 9. Thanks

Erin H. April 2, 2009 at 6:10 pm

Heart’s blaze are those sweet blue Nadia sandals, but I’d choose the Aubin or James shoes if I won since our daughter won’t enter Eleven size-range for a while now. Thanks for the giveaway!

I adore the Eleanor and Nadia shoes.
