Stella McCartney Spring Summer 2009 Collection

The days are longer, sunnier, and warmer. Summer is finally here!

Stella McCartney’s Spring/Summer shoe collection whimsically uses organic materials such as canvass, raffia, linen, wood, and rubber soles.   Stelly shows her vegan flirty side with adorable cherry appliques on flats and sandals.  The hot Sailboat shoe is a patriotic red & blue eco wooden wedge heel that’s perfect for an Independence Day celebration.   This eco collection has something for every summer day, flats, wedges, platforms, thongs, espadrilles and is, of course vegan friendly.

Please check out this great video of Stella McCartney’s 2009 Spring/Summer collection by shoebunny.com Her Eco friendly collection is as refreshing as glass of cold lemonade.

Greening In The New Year!

I, like many of my fellow eco-fashionista are dealing with the time-honored tradition of how to bring in the New Year with style. I firmly believe that setting the right tone for the coming year starts on day one. So as I click and thumb through my e-catalogs, I’ve resolved that my choice of 2009 attire will always be fashionably conscious.

I have narrowed down a list of several great eco-finds. So regardless of if you’re attending an upscale private party, an explosive outdoor celebration, reflective spiritual observance or low key celebration with family and friends, these selections are sure to work well.

Charmoné is a great place to start for gorgeous feminine shoes.

This fabulous and flirty velvet d’orsay sandal with satin ruffles will work well with a simple slip dress. In Bordeaux or Black. Charmoné shoes are Vegan, Eco-Friendly and Sweatshop-Free. Check them out at charmone.com

Now to hang out with family friends in the comfort of home. This pair from Pikolinos evokes style, comfort and conscientious.

Pikolinos has been awarded a certification for its environmentally friendly production of its shoes. They strive to use all-natural leathers, free of chemical treating, with natural and biodegradable soles.

This pair was made for dancing, toasting and making resolutions. Designer, Mink perfectly pairs sophistication and whimsy with I love the chains that dangle at the ankle.

Cock is a bright cherry satin T-strap with a titanium spike heel. The peep-toe is adorned with brass-studded hardware.

“For auld lang syne”. Stella McCartney once again makes an eco-statement. I found these thigh-high boots at net-a-porter.com. These sustainable wedges are simply hot!

Happy New Year!

Cozy Vegan Booties

Hello World! For my first post I wanted to share some adorable vegan booties I came across while looking for great deals. My first stop was one of my favorite eco-concious designers, Stella McCartney. Stella McCarntney has masterfully combined vegan and styling in this hot little number. This bootie is sure to become a staple in your winter wardrobe and can be paired perfectly with your faithful hemp turtlenecks. It comes in black and is currently on special at an affordable green $539.

I also discovered Linneah, a cozy slingback bootie, at Cri de Coeur, another eco-responsible European shoe maker. Check out their 2008 Fall/Winter line, which features a great selection of fashionable booties and boots.

Enjoy!
