Shoe High

I went to a sample sale with my friend Renee. Our mission, find fabulous designer shoes at deep discount. The taller the shoe the better!

I found my true love, a pair of Christian Dior Anniversary Sandals. The little authenticity card that came with it says "We recommend that you do not wear your shoes more than two consecutive days." I don't know how I feel about that statement...

My Plug For the Week: TranquiliT

An obscure fact about my hobbies outside of work is that I truly enjoy practicing yoga.  I am absolute awe as to what my body will allow me to do.  It's a great way to relieve stress, muscle tension, and lift your spirits.  I have been going to a yoga studio in DC for almost 4 years now (short hiatus when I lived in NYC).  The place is called Tranquil Space and has a very vivacious owner named Kimberly Wilson.  This place is so cool, it's a little community and the teachers are great.  The place recently moved to a new location in DC, a much bigger and more beautiful place.  The whole studio is made of eco-friendly bamboo and reused wood from an old farmhouse.   A definite tranquil space away from the hustle and bustle of the city, work, and life.

  

Kimberly, the owner, has also come out with her own line of eco-friendly clothing called TranquiliT.  These are by far the most flattering wrap dresses I have ever worn.  I normally have much trouble with wrap dresses, they usually reveal too much neckline.  I also purchased the Grecia

n Maxi dress from the TranquiliT line and I am absolutely in love with the pleating detail in the front.  The picture does not do it justice.  In the words of the Gap Girls from SNL - you can belt it, cinch it - it's versatile!

The clothing offered is made of organic bamboo and organic cotton.  It has a jersey feel but keeps its shape through washing.  You can even cut it and it won't unravel like regular jersey.

The clothing is made in DC by a local seamstress so the prices aren't H&M/Target low but I think anyone who tries it will not be disappointed.  These purchases were a highlight to my weekend!  Ohm and Namaste :-)
