Bare Your Feet in Summer’s Hottest Eco Friendly and Vegan Sandals

By Bonny Osterhage

Polish your toenails and pumice your heels because it’s time to bare your feet! That’s right, it’s sandal season, and whether you step out in flats, wedges, or heels, one thing’s for certain: these eco friendly and vegan sandals will keep you looking stylish right down to your sole.

Modern and edgy, these vegan leather ankle huggers are head turners, with their sleek style and color. Sure, they may boast a four-inch heel, but the one-inch platform will keep you steady on your feet. $165 at www.cridecoeur.com.

Put a little color in your closet with this fun, orange footwear! Easy to pair with white, khaki, and other neutrals, this bold sandal has adjustable ankle straps for a perfect fit every time. $89 at www.shoes.com.

It’s fantastic being plastic! This cute plastic jelly is a fashion trifecta with its neutral color, t-strap style and rainbow striped wedge heel. Cute with skirts, dresses, and the season’s hot shorts. $150 at www.shopmelissa.com.

When something is destined to be a classic, it’s worth investing a little more (at least that’s what we think). This low wood wedge fits the bill with a simple silhouette, and a style that is both on trend and timeless. $365 at www.coclico.com.

Vegan leather sandals get a boost from hand placed beads and studs. The back zipper on these fashionable flats makes them easy to take off, but they’re so cute you may not want to! $62 at www.sundancecatalog.com..

Fall Fashion 2012 Trend: Oxford Style

By Bonny Osterhage

If the last time you wore oxfords was with your school uniform, then you are missing out on a seriously haute fashion trend. As versatile as your go-to ballet slipper, this schoolgirl staple has grown up quite a bit, thanks to different heel heights, textures and finishes.

Wear them when you want to add a modern edge to an ultra-feminine eco fashion look, or create a casually chic weekend look with cuffed jeans and your favorite boyfriend blazer. The truly mod will love the appeal of pairing their oxfords with knee-highs and a short, flirty skirt. We found some fabulous vegan oxfords that will keep you right in step with the style without leaving a carbon footprint.

Who knew an oxford could be so sophisticated? This two-tone lace up with its platform heel is, in our humble opinion, very Chanel-esque. Perfect with pencil skirts, well suited for slacks and divine with dresses, it’s a must-have this season! Also available in royal blue and solid black. $130 at www.neuaura.com.

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues in this fun, funky footwear. Your feet won’t get tired, thanks to the 1.23” black foam flatform and the lightly cushioned insole. In addition to the bold color, we love the attention to detail that includes a sporty side zipper at the instep. An economical $37 at www.lulus.com.

Cute and colorful, these oxfords will step up your basic jeans and tees. The fabric is a hand loomed ikat that was originally used by Mayan women as skirts, and no two patterns are alike. We think they are a shoe-in for casual weekend wear! $160 at www.osborndesign.com.

A fabulous menswear-inspired shoe, the Charlie combines a tailored tweed with faux leather and mini-platform heel for a style that is at once cool and classic. We think it’s one of the most versatile styles we’ve seen, playing well with everything in your eco friendly wardrobe. $129.95 at www.compassioncoutureshop.com.

Metallic makes a great neutral and we love the way the distressed finish of these shoes capture that look. A wonderfully unexpected color combo, they appeal to the rebel heart in all of us! ON SALE FOR $44.99 (normally $49.95) at www.zappos.com.
