New shoes from the VeganChic sale: classy bronze flats and fun silver heels!

Jun 062009

VeganChic is having another sale right now, up to 40% off until tomorrow (Sunday June 7). I’ve resisted these two pairs (and many others!) for months now, but finally cracked today and ordered them. I know, I know, I said I wouldn’t buy anymore shoes…but what can I say…relapse is a normal part of recovery?

These lovely bronze “metallic glamourous flats by Neuaura“, which look classy and comfortable:

…and these cool silver and red retro/futurist peep-toe heels, “Kiwi by Neuaura“, which are totally just for fun! Clearly not the most “practical” of shoes, but they do look pretty comfy. I just love the colours and the shape and the lines, love them!

I just realized that both of these pairs of shoes are made by Neuaura. I’ve never tried their shoes before so I’m looking forward to it. Always love finding new companies making great vegan shoes.

Okay, clearly I spend entirely too much time on Etsy. But how fabulous is this silver stiletto bootie shoe necklace?? Love it! Etsy artist ANORIGINALJEWELRY says it was inspired by her “never ending obsession with the sexy silhouettes of Christian Louboutin shoes.” She definitely nailed it in this piece. Gorgeous! Let’s see how long I can restrain myself from ordering it…

How gorgeous are these boots? The Cri de Coeur Alexa vegan boot in “desert sand canvas with midnight black accents” sports an open toe, cutouts on each side, and a super cool zipper. This made-in-Europe beauty is currently on pre-order over at Nimli, an eco-friendly retailer with a great website that identifies products with little icons for vegan, sustainable, natural, handmade, recycled, organic, and made in the USA, etc.

If you’re into DIY, fire up your crochet hook and hit up hollanddesigns’s shop on Etsy to get a pattern for these super cute flower petal mary jane slippers. Love them! They’re identified as “easy/intermediate” level, so maybe even I can do them! (err, that is, after I finally finish the scarf I’ve been knitting since February…)

The pattern sells for $4 US and she has a bunch of other patterns for many other cute slippers too!

I’m undecided about these Yves Saint Laurent cage boots. I can’t decide if I want to wear them or grow zuchinni plants up them. They’re architecturally interesting, odd looking but neat. But they look uncomfortable as hell! Every one of those little squares is an opportunity to collect a nice chaffing little blister. And the $1400 price tag is definitely out of my range. But I concede that these could be pretty awesomely rocked with the right outfit and the right legs and feet.

Check out these commemorative Obama shoes! Cheesy and patriotic – dig it!

I still think the Obama Force One take the cake for Obama shoe awesomeness though.

Check out these super cool vintage shoes on Etsy:

They’ve got tango dancers on them, and if that wasn’t cute enough, there are accordions with music piping out of them on the sides:

They have what looks to be a very sensible heel, so I’ll bet you could tango all night in these beauties.

TOMS Boots at ChangeCamp

Today I’ve been at a really neat event. I wore my fabulously comfy olive green TOMS boots, and one of the organizers spotted them. I told him about the awesome TOMS mission to provide a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair sold, and so he whipped out his iPhone to record a quick interview for his Audioboo (first I’d ever heard of it – what a neat tool!) Anyway, here’s the 30-second interview:

How cute is this resin-casted red vintage Barbie shoe? It’s’ done up as a ring, but I think it would make a totally cute necklace or pin too (I totally can’t pull off giant rings like this). There’s also a pink and a white Barbie shoe ring up right now, and the artist says she has a whole collection of these shoes in different colours to make neat stuff with. Check it out on Etsy.
