Do you mean:

"And then we went to the store? And she saw the cutest pair of sandals? And so we said she should just buy them? And then after that we got those lattes?"

Ugh. I think it is insecurity writ large because it seems to be saying after each sentence "Are you still following me? Still listening? Do you understand me?" It's ugly.

How are we to explain the "smartest woman in the world's" repetitious use of "you know"?

QUESTION: Is the appostophe denoting the possessive form in "world's" in the correct position?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I'm always tempted to answer with, "I don't know?" :)

Caveat: English is not my first language.
