Must Have: Melissa Purple Slingbacks

I’ve been singing the praises of Melissa shoes since I got my pair of Sin sandals last Summer. I was skeptical of plastic shoes from the beginning, but once I tried them, I was sold. Granted, mine are sandals, but all of Melissa’s shoes are perforated or airy so they breathe well enough not to get sticky and sweaty.

I am in LOVE with this color purple, and the perforated plastic on these recycled/recyclable slingbacks at Olio United:

I have a love/hate relationship with leggings: I love them on others, hate them on me. I think they can look really cute on the right body, and styled nicely, but they don’t work very well on me. I still wear them, but only around the house…

I love these ombre leggings by Park Vogel made from organic cotton & lycra – on final sale now for $50:

I was just checking out eco-boutique Juno and Jove and discovered that all the Diane Kennedy clothing (available in up to sizes 2X) is on sale, many pieces are 50% off. All of Diane’s pieces are made ethically in Canada using Bamboo and/or Tencel. My favorite of the lot is this scoop tee, which as you’ll see, has multiple “scoops!”

I love a nice pair of drawstring, easy fitting pants to lounge around and go for walks in during the warmer months. This pair is by Organic by John Patrick and they’re marked down to $40 from $160 at Mick Margo:
