Holiday Spirit at my Feet
Melissa Shoes has been one of my fave footwear to wear on days when I know I'll be on my feet all day or event when I travel abroad. This brand that has gained so many fans locally hails from Brazil, just like our fave flip flops, Havaianas! I, along with its loyal followers will attest to its super comfortable, lightweight feel, while stepping out in its unique styles. Its soft feel can be attributed to its patented MELFLEX techonology. It is even deemed hypoallergenic, it is flexible, and yes it is true, it smells like sweet bubblegum.Melissa launched its holiday collection right before Christmas and also gave us a sneak peek into their Take Me to Rio collection which is out in stores by February. Here are some of the #MyMelissaHoliday styles that caught my eye:Praias in green and yellow for carefree yet chic personalitiesMelissa Jean x Jason Wu VI introduces warm colors for the holidaysWear Baroque art on your feet with Campana Barroca, designed by renowned designers, the Campana brothers, the pair's ornate design exudes romance and femininity.Gladiator sandals like no other.
