Look What I Got: Vegan Bags

Shopping can be tough for a vegetarian.  If I am not going to eat a cow, I am sure as heck not going to wear it's skin.  I am constantly digging inside purses at Marshall's to find that little tiny materials tag.  And, many times, I am sadly disappointed.  It's really hard to find quality handbags that are not leather.  The key word there is "quality."  There is a plethora of faux leather and PVC bags lining the racks at discount stores, but they are often poor quality and will not stand up to the mom with 4 children level of crap I carry around me with.  I don't have any kids...my purse is just packed like I have a gaggle of them.  But Sole Society (as I have recently discovered) offers top notch handbags without all the leather.   And, as well as being cruelty-free, vegan bags tend to be a little cheaper!

Shoesday: Beyond Skin

So, I try really hard not to make this blog my little soap box, but maybe I can get people to jump on the vegan fashion band wagon by showing them some fabulous vegan shoes?  Beyond Skin is an amazing UK shoe company that makes 100% vegan shoes.  The Anthropologie across the pond carried some Beyond Skin shoes last year (I think).  I wish the US Anthro would offer me some options!  Not that I really need to give Anthro more of my money, but I'm always drooling over the shoes I can not have.

Here are some of my favorites from Beyond Skin.

So I don't need another pair of oxford pumps, but these are just so darn cute.

I love the thick heel on the JoJo (below) and of course I love the color.  These remind me of Target's Pemota Chunky Heel Pump, which is genuine suede.  (Really Target?  Who do you think you are using suede?)

And finally, I think i just love the preppiness of the Sirene in argyle.
