I love shoes. A girl can never have enough. I dream of building a wardrobe solely (pardon pun) dedicated to glam high heels, sweet ballet slippers, rock star boots and flip flops to flip over. A shoe heaven, if you will.
Going vegan of course not only changed my diet, but my wardrobe. Now this presents quite the challenge to any girl (or guy) who has a love affair with footwear. But a challenge, I believe, is merely an opportunity in disguise.
Once I started looking, I discovered a world of shoes that were created without killing another creature. Celebs such as Natalie Portman, Stella McCartney and Pamela Anderson have done great fashion deeds, pleasing vegans the world over with pretty pumps and other stylish goodies.
So fashionable are many of the vegan footwear options, that the Jewish community are following in our footsteps and stocking up on brands such as Moo Shoes, Olsen Haus (released by an ex-Calvin Klein and Nine West designer) and NoVacas.
A story today in Jewish rag, The Tablet, sings the praises of these shoe designers who are, for the first time, allowing them too to step out in style with their conscience fully in tact—and not a pair of Crocs in sight.

Clockwise from top left: Vegan Tahoe Blue slip-on and Vegan Wrap Boot from Toms, Swell Shoe from Olsen Haus, Olivia pump from Novacas, Stella McCartney animal print ankle boots (as seen in The Tablet).
Hot fashion find of the day? The ultra-luxe, super sustainable Vegan Queen range of handbags. While some vegan fashion may leave you feeling like a grandma dressed for church, this forward-thinking company knows how to please the most animal-friendly of fashionistas.
Materials used in their collections are natural, organic, non-toxic and recycled. Not an animal skin in sight.
