Did I tell you about Old Navy's yoga pants section? There is a sign over their yoga pants (at least, there used to be) that said: "Our gurus think you're lulu if you'll pay $90 for yoga pants"--hahaha!

I've bought a couple things at lll and they're really great but daaaaaamn. It's very much a "scene" here in SF . . . ALL the richie richies wear them to their yoga studios or to The Daily Method or wherever it is they go for their upperclass exercise. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday! Everything looks so delicious!

I hope you'll let us know how that yoga video is. I'd love to find some non-cheesy, but challenging yoga videos.
