Please leave your stuff at the door

Your shoes and your energies. Start new for every Yoga class. Reset and make space for your practice. Then you can come in, sit down, have some tea and practice some Yoga. :)

And we'll shed of our skin like trees do with leaves

Take this great opportunity to be NEW.

Sun Salutations.

I suggest everyone start their day with atleast 5 Sun Salutations...I did not. Very regretful. Need balance!

Backbends

Vivienne Westwood X Melissa shoes. What's cool about Melissa shoes is that they are 100% recyclable! They are made of melflex, a hypoallergenic, recyclable, flexible PVC. Which makes them super comfy though I will tell you its hard to straighten your legs in a back bend in them because in heels you tend to slide more.

I HEART HEART HEART Melissa shoes!

These are my lovely lovely Melissa shoes that I've obtains over the summer. Some were specially brought to me from the distributors in the Philippines and a couple were from the NYC sample sale.

Yoga and Topshop

Hi Friends.

I am taking Yoga again. I took a long break from it due to awkward instructors who touch too much and chant Hare Krishna songs. My friend Carol became a certified Yoga instructor awhile ago and it helped me get back into it...HOWEVER, I still have an issue with the touching. Now, don't get me wrong, I take well to instruction and I want to know how to do something correctly...but there is no for reason someone I don't know to touch me for more than 5 seconds. Its extremely invasive and shows disrespect to my personal space. There are things called gently nudging and verbal instruction. I don't get it. I also find if you show up to someone's Yoga class frequently they feel they have license to touch you EVEN MORE! It is sometimes disappointing because all of this touching just ends up defeating the purpose of the practice...it makes me lose my focus and feel all ragey and angsty. OH BTW, I took Yoga this morning. :)

I used to wish on all kinds of stars that they would open two stores in the US. Mango and TopShop. This was because everytime I went to Asia I would stock up on clothes from these two places. Now that they are here I find myself completely uninterested in shopping where everyone else is shopping...I am just haterading today. I also must hate on the hipsters that walk around with the same TopShop canvas tote I see everywhere. Pukesville, USA.



























P.S. It has been confirmed that I will be the owner of these lovelies in June thanks to one of my Shoe Fairies.

My New Loves.

Dear Loverflies,
These are my favorite shoes...I haven't seen anyone wear Melissa shoes in the US yet! Well except, yours truly. I heard they were selling them some place in the LES and at Opening Ceremony last year but I never actually saw them. I also heard they had a sample sale in Dec which I sadly missed out on. Maybe some ladies will be donning them this spring. They haven't officially hit the US yet, but I have my own connections...here are some of the ones I'm looking to snag. HRMM...the Vivienne Westwoods are a little more unattainable it seems. Maybe I'll have to go to Brazil to get them!

The skinny on these lovlies is that they are ECO-Friendly, green, vegan and hypo-allergenic. OH and made of the lovliest most comfortable plastic called melflex. Melissa is super PC as they are nice to their employees and recycle their overstock to make more lovely, lovely plastic shoes.

Best,
E.$.

P.S. I love you!












P.S.S.Sneakercon was a bust...so I heard...

...today in NYC. It may be the last celebratory open-toed shoe day in the city until the Spring! Although, to tell you the truth most women have some busted looking toe game around this time of year due to the lack of open-toe shoe wearing weather. Well even still...I miss wearing my comfy Melissa jellies and the Michael Kors samples I copped that I still haven't worn yet!
