4 Cool Vegan Shoes…Vegan Heels, Vegan Uggs, Vegan Wedges and Vegan Workman’s Boots

November 19th, 2012 | about me, fashion bloggers, vegan boots, vegan shoes, where to find vegan shoes

I found these vegan heels at urban outfitters. Very cute. And the heel is not too high which is good for me who is already tall and likes to kick up my heels and dance.

Anyone for some faux suede uggs? I would enjoy wearing these for apres-ski whatever that means. I know it means after-skiing, but I believe it’s a whole lifestyle as well… that includes hot-tubing, drinking hot chocolate and partying at the ski lodge. These vegan uggs can be found at Old Navy for an excellent price.

I think (vegan) Uggs are cool. I have heard people say “Uggs are so hideous! One can never be sexy wearing ze uggs.” All I can say to them, is U R Crazy. Of course you can be sexy wearing VEGAN faux suede uggs. These are the people who say the same thing about crocs–a great vegan shoe.

These are the shoes I really really want. These vegan Worker Boots are from a collab with vegan companies Novacas and Brave Gentleman, and unforch cost $250. But they are gorgeous. And I have them in black and wear them every day. You can buy them at Mooshoes.

That reminds me….if any men are reading this blog, if you are looking for some really cool shoes, check out this aforementioned collaboration. They have some really cool shoes…Also check out Good Guys Don’t Wear Leather, and you will probably be set for vegan shoes.

Speaking of Good Guys, a shoe of theirs has really been growing on me. At first I thought it was very odd, but now I see how it looks great.

Worn by this super cool french blogger.

I want them in navy. They can be found for people in the US at mooshoes, and for others…at the good guys online shop.

Alright…any vegan shoes that are COOL that you guys have heard about of late?

Well, I have to give you a little update on me before I end this post.

I have been drinking green smoothies daily after doing that amazing interview with Natalie from OutletforFoodPicturesOCD, and following her advice to read Green For Life by Victoria Boutenko, a book which seems to inspire every one who reads it to rush to make a green smoothie asap.

I have also been extremely vegan, whereas before I tried to be mostly vegan, for the past week after reading one too many books on the reasons why things like the dairy and egg industries are not at all what I thought they were.

Yay for me.

I got an adorable comment from someone who says their dress code requires leather shoes and they used my blog to find similar non leather shoes.

Happy Monday? How are you?

Turkey Talks: My Life as a Turkey (an amazing documentary), Thanksgiving Woes, and Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt a Turkey Program

November 15th, 2012 | Uncategorized

Hey guys,

One quick thing.

Thanksgiving is coming up. How do I get my family to not eat a turkey.

It’s hopeless. I talked to my mom about it and she said no one would come if we didn’t have a turkey.

Well, of course they would…

In the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, the Whos learn the true meaning of christmas when the Grinch steals everything including their food.

all the who’s down in whoville the tall and the small….that’s all I remember….

well they started holding hands and singing.

Why can’t we do the same??

Hmm…I guess that makes me the Grinch.

Well I guess I can’t control what other people do, I can only control myself.

I know this is going to sounds crazy but I swear to you, the following story is a true story and happened to me…

One Thanksgiving probably around 5 years ago, my family was cooking up a storm at their house in the woods of CT. I decided to clear the head and go out for a walk in the crisp fall air.

I walked up the driveway and veered into the woods. There is this swampy area that is kind of like a clearing in the woods.

On that Thanksgiving I saw

literally hundreds of wild turkeys. In the trees and on the ground. It was like ten flocks had come together for a meeting in this clearing.

On the most important and truly horrific days for Turkeys of the year.

I almost couldn’t believe it was real. After watching for a while, I ran at them to see if it wasnt a mirage or something. They scattered.

Why did I do that. How rude of me.

I imagined those turkeys were having a pow wow. A great meeting with the chiefs of those ten flocks. Or maybe they were mourning.

I will never forget that moment. I went back inside and told everyone. They didn’t even believe me!!! It was too much of a coincidence. But I know what I saw.

Have you seen the PBS documentary My Life as a Turkey. God it’s good!!! I’ve watched it twice now and I’d watch it again today. It is only about an hour long and documents how this guy Joe Hutto raised a bunch of wild turkey eggs into full grown turkeys, and how they taught him so much about the woods and about the inner lives of turkeys. They are incredibly smart with their own rich culture and way of being in the woods. For example they know all about the forest. They know which snakes are poisonous and where every single branch is on the forest floor. They talk to eachother and play with the other forest animals. They live in the moment and are extremely happy all the time. You’ev got to see it!

You can also adopt a turkey from Farm Sanctuary for $50. Which will sponsor them to adopt a turkey.

i guess that’s the best I can do.

Instead of complaining to my family, I should put my money where my mouth is and donate to Farm Sanctuary.

Well, what do you guys think? Does it annoy you when your family has a turkey at Thanksgiving?

After reading all these books I really feel like I can’t be thankful for the carcass of a murdered tortured individual on my table.
