Mid August Vegan Shoe Roundup

Summer colors and light. (This is the country road to take me home.)

I thought I’d do a little fun post here in my old style, doing a round-up of some fun non leather vegan shoes on the web that I would buy.

Let’s begin!

1. Summer is not over yet! oh no! These sandals from urbanoutfitters are vegan, come in brown and white, and are very nice, don’t you think?

$39 Kimchi Blue Ankle-Wrap Thong Sandal

2. Next up is a shoe that I really think I am going to buy. This brings me back to my adolescence. Penny loafers with heels on them. very “Clueless”, very “My So Called Life”, very “10 Things I Hate About You”, very “Hocus Pocus”, very 90s, very cool. These are also from urbanoutfitters.

Cooperative Heeled Penny Loafer, $59.00

This would be a good shoe to wear knee socks with.

3. Now from Forever 21. Snatch these babies up, because unfortunately forever21 sells out of sizes very quickly, and if your size is gone it is gone. I really like these. Tres chic and sophisticated. They remind me of an artist I really enjoy…

Andrea Mary Marshall, the author of Witch: The Book of Bananas, Forks, Spoons and Heartbreak, says in her stylelikeu interview ( a great one!) that shoes like this are the only shoes you ever need.
4. These are shoes from modcloth in a similar vein. Which do you prefer?
5. Yes, I am about to get wild and crazy on you. These are cool. Or is it just me…….
Pleaser Women's Dolly-50 Pump
 Dolly pumps, from pleaser, in a variety of crazy colors and glitters.
do you dare? In a vague way they remind me of Selina of Flying Saucer, one of my favorite fashion bloggers. She is British, and always wears very chunky high heels and these though out there, are kind of channeling her.

Well, thank you so much readers and subscribers for commenting, giving feedback, and making my day. I hope you enjoy my selection of shoes… feel free to tell me what you think of these outrageous choices, and send any more vegan shoes you see out and about in the internet my way!

Vegan Riding Boots for Fall

Fall is coming. Oh no.

I’m not ready! I’m never ready. Summer is my favorite season. I like everything about it. I like how it lasts for a long time. Spring feels too urgent, like the extreme beauty of the flowering trees is only here for a few days, and you have to rush to be outside and enjoy it, knowing it will all be gone soon. But Summer stays long enough for you to relax and enjoy it.

Ah the passage of time!

Anyway, there are a few good things about fall haha.

One of them is wearing some nostalgic attire, such as equestrian riding boots.

But the past two falls I have not noticed any truly cool looking vegan riding boots on the market.

I received an email the other day about a new vegan shoe company called Emanuelle Francesca that is launching this fall, and they will be selling some wonderful looking classic riding boots, made with no animal materials.

These shoes have not yet become available but when they are, I will let you know.
I love it when vegan shoe companies start. The more the merrier, really.
What do you think of these? I am a fan. Have you managed to find any good vegan boots? I’d love to hear any recs.
