Hey Hey Hey,
I hope all of you are enjoying this beautiful weather. What I like about the spring and summer is the fashion. You do not have to worry about thick sweaters, snow worn boots, or coats. Get out those cotton summer dresses, short skirts, shorts, and sandals, its SPRING TIME.
Vegans shouldn’t worry about fashion limitations when it comes to shopping, especially with shoes. Designers and celebrities like Natalie Portman, have created fashionable vegan footwear and clothing. And or those of you not familiar with vegan clothing, a blog called Vegan Apparel breaks it down,
So what is vegan clothing exactly? Technically, its anything that doesn’t involve the use of animal products or by-products. By definition, synthetic fibers and conventional fabrics such as conventional cotton are OK and considered ‘vegan,’ However, if we also consider the fact that veganism also embraces environmentalism (as a philosophy and way of life), then synthetics and conventional fabrics would be excluded, or at least frowned upon.
Now Natalie Portman’s shoes are expensive ($200 for shoes is a bit much for me). But, sites like Lulu’s cater to inexpensive yet fashionable shoes. So you can either by your Vegan shoes online or visit the following shops in NYC:
1. Moo Shoes Located on 78 Orchard St
New York, NY 10002 (212) 254-6512
2. Stella McCarthy located on 29 W 14th St
(between 9th Ave & 14 St)
New York, NY 10014 (212) 255-1556

****To be honest although these shops are located in NYC, they are over priced for the sort of shoes they sell.****
**I would Suggest ordering your products online from shops like
Zappos,
DSW, Lulu, and
Vegan Chic because there cheap and fashionable. Just type in Vegan or vegetarian in the search engines.
