Put some style in your step for back-to-school. Make a beeline for the new kids' shoe department at Lord & Taylor and snag some fab footwear from Nina Kids.

For its first girls' shoe department in decades, Lord & Taylor turns to Nina Kids. Already a well-performing brand on the Lord & Taylor website, Nina Kids is offering styles designed to complement Lord & Taylor's fall fashions for girls. The collection includes styles for every occasion, from school shoes to party shoes. Look for some of our favorites: The Shimmylt;/em> sequin sneaker, the sparkly Luna Mary Jane and a cute boot featuring an animal print ruffle with a shiny bow.

The new departments launch in 20 Lord & Taylor locations, including the Fifth Avenue flagship in Manhattan, Garden State Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey, the Westchester store and other key doors in the New York metropolitan area, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit and Chicago. On August 21, at the height of the back-to-school shopping season, look for store events celebrating the new departments.

If Lord & Taylor is not in your area, visit www.ninakids.com or find the collection at other fine specialty and department stores in the United States and abroad.
