Lèi

I’m excited to introduce to you The Lèi, founded by my wonderful friend Tiffany. In 2017, she quit her job as a food magazine editor and decided to take some time off to travel around the world. She traveled from New Zealand to Morocco and was inspired by the happiness she found through living a slow and simple life.

In Marrakech, she met a shoemaker who hand-made a beautiful pair of slides for her, which sparked a business idea. So she decided to stay in the city for another 3 months to make 100 pairs of slides. A month later, Tiffany launched The Lei of slow fashion, each collection telling a story about the place that inspires it and made by people she met there.

My favorite part of The Lei is their philosophy: “Our philosophy challenges the idea that we must always be doing for the sake of doing. It encourages slowing down, simplifying, stopping even-- and when we are "doing," we do everything deliberately and authentically.” If you follow my blog, you know that I’m often saying how much we need to slow down and pay attention to the present.

You really can’t go wrong with any of the slides from The Lei. I own a suede and a leather pair, and they are both so comfortable I wear them every weekend almost to every occasion! These neutral colors go with so many outfit, especially if you want to be casual yet classy and stylish.

7 Cool Ways to Wear Birkenstocks

Are Birkenstocks back?!?! I've been seeing a lot... I mean A LOT of them lately. Their marketing team must be really stepping up their game! If you're from Hong Kong, you may understand my feeling towards them.. They weren't very cool before because they were worn by the old grandpas in their wife beaters and boxers.. or the tourists that came from mainland China with their huge beekeeper-like sunhats and (fake or real) LV purses.
But I'm totally digging this look right now! These fashionistas make me want to buy a pair too!
