Not Zuzu’s Petals but Suri’s LadyBug Shoes

May 5, 2008 · Print This Article

Welcome back!

Ladybug Shoes from SkimbacoIf you’re not a fan of the classic movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” then the “Zuzu’s petals” reference in today’s post title will mean little to you. But if you are even partially conscious and watch television then you know all about Tom Cruise’s little girl Suri and his recent appearance on Oprah showing Suri’s little “Ladybug shoes.”

If you’ve got a little girl in your family who might love to wiggle her toes in these shoes or if you ‘d just like to get some great fashion items for boys or girls, then you’re in luck.

I’m hosting a prize give away courtesy of the mom owned boutique that sold those little lady bug shoes and other items to Tom Cruise’s family. The store is called Skimbaco. It’s a wonderful boutique in Colorado owned and operated by young mom of three Katja Presnal. Katja is giving away $30 Gift Certificates to a few lucky readers so they can choose from among her fabulous selection of products and fashions for the whole family. Whether you’re interested in purchasing the “Monkey-Toes Little Ladies Ladybug Mary Janes” or something else from the wide selection of boys and girls and mens and womens fashions and products, you’re bound to find something to your liking.

The great news is the New Urban Mom blog is one of the few blogs selected to offer this give away!

To get your name entered into the Skimbaco $30 Gift Certificate Contest being given away on this blog simply visit Skimbaco to view their amazing products (added bonus: they are having a sale right now). Come back to this blog and leave a comment listing your favorite Skimbaco product.

That’s it! Easy as pie!

I’ll announce the winner on May 15

Edited to add: The boutique, Skimbaco will only be able to ship to U.S. residents – so you won’t be able to win unless you’re in the U.S. Sorry!

UPDATE:  WE HAVE A WINNER – SEE THE MAY 15TH POST UNDER “CONTEST”

    OK I love the Emilio’s Carmel and Taupe Loafer. I don’t have a girl, so I needed to pick out something different.

    Love the stuff!!!

  2. Annette on May 5th, 2008 12:36 pm

    So fun! I love the shoes and have about 5 little girls who I know that would love them too!

    I also love The Felt Cakes here. Very cool!

    There are a ton of things that I like, but something about this simple shirt caught my eye. I really like that playful design. It really reminds me of my daughter’s personality.

    Having a daughter there are way too many cute things in her store. But I think the thing that has my daughter’s name written all over it is the Luv Bug Mary Jane’s . . . she is a luv bug and she loves pink!

  42. Krista on May 6th, 2008 11:09 pm

    Oh, I really like those shoes, unfortunately my son probably wouldn’t look too cute in them! He’d love the Poodle blue and green security blanket though as he’s really into snuggly blankets!

  43. Katie on May 7th, 2008 2:37 am

    The Ladybugs are cute but the Livie’s Red Wings shoes are my favorite.

  44. Becca on May 7th, 2008 3:08 am

    My 1YO daughter is obsessed with shoes these days and I know she’d love these Ladybugs. I’ve been looking for bedding for the baby boy we’re expecting, and I love the Four Square design in blue!

  45. Michele on May 7th, 2008 4:11 pm

    Great store! I love the Avalisa Memory Game.

  48. Reiza on May 8th, 2008 12:39 am

    AHHHHHHHH. That’s the website where I found the jacket I wanted for my girls, but I lost the link. When I looked through, I found it. Of course, now it’s too late ’cause they only have one and it’s not in their size.

    It’s the Velvet Blazer by Wati in Turquoise.

  49. Danielle S on May 8th, 2008 1:04 am

    I ADORE the Silly Monkeys Tennis Shoes!!!

    Oh, I just love those little Monkey-Toes Little Ladies Ladybug Mary Janes and I just know my little girl would too and the pink shoes she’d love too. She’s a shoe lover just like mommy :-)

  57. Sara DeMaster Smith on May 15th, 2008 12:09 pm

    Oh, choices, choices! I’m torn between the Veggie Booties, the Hoot Owl shoes, and the Monkey-Toes Bumble Bee shoes. Any of these would be adorable on my little beauty.
