An Amazing Resource For Vegan Boots

November 10th, 2010

Hello friends,

I’ve found another great source for vegan shoes that I wanted to share with all of you: Wantedshoes.com

This site has a huge selection of shoes. Their boots section is especially fruitful. Not all of their shoes are totally vegan but every shoe I was interested in and clicked on, except one, was. This is great news. I’d say this site is up there with Forever21.com as the site with the best selection of vegan shoes on the web.

One note. Ultimately it would be ideal to buy shoes from totally vegan companies made for vegans and vegetarians. That way none of our money would support the leather shoe industry. However, the selection at totally vegan companies is so lacking and the prices can be so high that that’s not always an option. I think just buying shoes made with all non leather materials makes a statement, and can make you feel good about your lifestyle and choices. What do you think though? Is it ok to buy what I call “unintentionally vegan” shoes– shoes that are made with non leather materials simply because they are cheap, and not necessarily because they are made with animals in mind? I would love to know your opinion in the comment section.

Well, in the meantime, here are some really cool shoes from Wanted, but they have a huge selection so check it out yourself, because I’m sure they have something that’s more your style.

Red Vegan Heels

November 9th, 2010

Red vegan suede pumps from lulus.com

$ 34.00.

Want to be 4.5 ” taller? That’s how tall these shoes heels are (they have a hidden platform). That would make me almost six feet tall. I imagine I would feel so statuesque and model-esque.

Sometimes it’s important to wear very high heels. They make you look important. They make you fit in in an uber cool crowd.

Sometimes I indulge in a probably not so healthy train of thought. I wonder what it would be like to be born so beautiful that a model scout scouts you, and you become… a Victoria’s Secret Angel. (What I’ve heard is getting a Victoria’s Secret Angel contract as a model means you are set for life. It is the ultimate in modeling.) Sometimes I youtube videos of models just to see what they are like in person–they can’t possibly be smart, cool and gorgeous, I hope, but some of them are! They are so down to earth, nice and normal. For example, I love Giselle. And Doutzen Kroes, (front and center.) And yes, I’m jealous.

However, with all this said, this I know for sure, as Oprah would say, everyone is beautiful in their own way. And true beauty really does come from the inside. Remember that ladies!

Victoria Secret Angels.
