Vegan Doc Martens: look like a hip nyc teen

June 12th, 2012 | vegan boots, vegan shoes

I have been noting a trend among the coolest people. I believe it’s been going on for a while, but I think it has reached critical mass.

I see this on cool NYC teens all the time, and it is looking great to my eyes.

Here it is.

Doc Marten boots in purple or black (the vegan ones–for us animal lovrs)

High waisted jean shorts

a baggy t-shirt…perhaps guns n roses…

Trust me, this is a combo that looks maja cool.

Wear this, and you will look like the hippest nyc teen.

I was kind of iffy about doc martens. I got the low top kind, but one of the shoes gave me huge blisters. but now I would like some so I can look cool.

Here is some more DM inspo for you:

A Patriotic Shoe for Vegans: Jelly Sandals

May 15th, 2012 | Uncategorized

I have a great tip for y’all on some hot new kicks that have recently dropped.

Jellies.

I vividly remember having tiny jellies embedded with mysterious sparkles when I was about 3-4.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

You know, that french proverb has got me thinking. I think Jellies can be seen as a kind of patriotic shoe for vegans and vegetarians. Since they are 100% rubber, they say I Wear No Leather in a way fake leather shoes cannot.

It reminds me of the odd attire people wore during the french revolution. Was it red shirts? red caps? Sans Culottes?

Tell me in the comments.

And now.

I give you …..
