(for now)

First Stop....
(after a little Ashtanga Yoga)

Bittersweet
In the glass building

Awesome Alternative Apparel Basics
Buy white--simple is better..and as Christy recommended to me....serial shop... meaning if you like something buy it in all colors

Next Stop...Petit Bebe...okay THE cutest Bonpoint Dresses have arrived
and Oh how I wish Helen would wear this to school

Trixie found some things for her grandchildren

Then off to Chloe where I found an amazing ring that reminded me of Trixie

Then to eloise
A few amazing new lines.....(too bad for the STAB mom's on Spring Break b.c. they are going to miss this run of clothing....it will sell FAST--Oh wait! you can now shop online at eloise

The white denim AG's and the Organic Slip are essentials for the season--Emily is modeling the outfit that I purchased.

Next stop..... Sustain
This bag is AMAZING

and this bracelet
LOVE IT!

I also purchased some great Yoga clothing at Sustain.....40% off and a pair of CP Shades Pants for 75%off

Grabbed lunch at Feast and picked up a seasoned Flank Steak from the Organic Butcher for dinner

A day well spent in Charlottesville
Please go shopping and support our local businesses
I did!

Oh yes....and FYI
UVA is on Spring Break...this is a great time to check out Duo and Finch on the corner.
You can also grab your running shoes at Ragged Mountain while you are there
(parking will be easy)

Charlottesville Style for Spring

SCOUT — 2010-03-07T21:09:05-05:00

This weekend was AMAZING!
But now I am in a bit of a panic and feel like I have NO Spring Clothing.

I have sooooo adjusted to the Uggs, Down Parka and Yoga Pants
I am asking for a bit of user/store participation.

Submit to a daily practice

SCOUT — 2010-02-23T00:12:54-05:00

Definition of submit. 1. to give over or yield to the power or authority of another (often used reflexively). 2. to subject to some kind of treatment or influence. –verb (used without object) 3. to yield oneself to the power or authority of another: to submit to a conqueror. 4. to allow oneself to be subjected to some kind of treatment 5. to defer to another's judgment, opinion, decision, etc.: I submit to your superior judgment. "submit to a daily practice" my yoga motto. Back down... Back off stop making excuses and just do it. I think that we need to submit more often to more things. Submit "Do your practice, all Is coming "-Sri k Patthabi Jois Ashtanga Yoga- Charlottesville Http://www.ashtangacharlottesville.com It's so much easier to submit than make excuses. Come to yoga.
