Ladybug Shoes on Oprah OVER

Branded by Lori | May 4, 2008 .

I absolutely love to see a hard working woman become successful with her own business, especially a woman with 3 children. Katja is just this woman I’m talking about. She happens to own Skimbaco, which is a very cool children’s boutique. It’s so cool in fact, that even Tom Cruise’s little Suri is wearing these super duper cute little ladybug shoes (Little Ladies Mary Janes) made by Monkey-Toes. Freakin’ adorable! The socks are just as cute and a must have because we absolutely have to match!!

Just in case you didn’t see Oprah’s show on Friday, she did an interview with Tom Cruise at his home. When she was checking things out, she picked up these cute little shoes and showed them to the camera!! It’s those shoes that came from Katja’s Skimbaco boutique. WOOHOO! You can actually see the video for yourself.

Because of this exciting event, Katja has decided to give a pair away! WOOHOO again To enter, head on over to Skimbaco and browse around, watch the video, and buy something ’cause once you see what’s there, you’ll just have to get something!

Come back here and tell me what your favorite product is in the comments section. Yep, it’s that easy folks! This is open to U.S residents only…sorry. It begins May 5th and ends May 15th. Please be sure to include a valid email so I can contact you in the event that you are the winner.

See ya at Skimbaco.com!

P.S. If you feel like giving her shout out and a big old “YOU GO GIRL!”, then head on over to her blog where she tells you more about what she sent Tom and Katie…including underwear???

Oh, and Katja…..YOU GO GIRL!

Fantastic Friday!
