Chic and Custom: Greenshoes

Green and vegan shoes that are custom make in the UK and designed to last ages? All you do is draw around your foot and they send them off to you!
This is what I’ve been looking for. I wish they made black pumps. I would kill for custom, patent pumps for my sad feetsies
Get Greenshoes. […]

weird but green: odd shoe finder

A strange concept, but I kind of like the idea of Odd Shoe Finder.
I have never lost a shoe, but you know, I’m sure someone has. You pack up and move and a shoe ends up gone or maybe the shoe fixer people lose one, but not the other. Or maybe you just have one […]

Melissa Plastic Dreams Shoe

I was a poor French student, but I did love the Little Prince. Whether it’s in English or French it’s an amazing book.
I spied these Melissa flats with Le Petit Prince all over them while cruising their site.
Melissa is a line of shoes that I’ve been wanting to try for awhile.
The line is Brazilian, […]

Green Things I Love: Tom’s Shoes

I love my Tom’s Shoes.
Love them. I got them about a month ago, because I needed some new flats to tromp around in this summer. They were about $45 at my local shop and you can get them cheaper online.

Melissa Sin Sandals

Melissa Sandals kind of remind me of jellies. They’re made of recycled plastic and you can recycle them after they’ve done good for you.
This t-strap sandal is a good take on all the sandals this summer, and I really like the gold color.
I’m not sure how comfortable an all-plastic sandal would be, however. I […]

vivo barefoot sold out

I’ve been dying for these shoes forever. I got a pair of Tom’s Shoes (more on that later), yet I still lust over the barefoot ideals of the Terra Plana line Vivo Barefoot.
Vivo Barefoot is supposed to replicate how it feel for you and your feet to walk barefoot. the argument is that it’s the […]

These pumps are the perfect animal- and cruelty- free pair to ad to your collection! I love the faux metallic and the narrow toe–it’s narrow, […]

Red and White Vegan Flats

How cute is the polka-dotted lining in these flats?

These vegan Ace shoes from Moo Shoes are made out of a lightweight, breathable canvas. I know with snowing coming, they aren’t the best pair to be adding to your wardrobe, but I couldn’t resist the dots! The grippy rubber sole is a nice feature too. No […]

Turn Your Jeans Into Sandals

If you’re like me, you wear your jeans into the ground. You get holes in random places, and they become impossible to wash and embarrassing to wear out in public. Yet, try as you might, you can’t bear to throw them away.

Luckily, Recycle Your Jeans has recognized this problem and decided to do something about […]
