Vegan shoes are getting easier to find all the time (especially online), but vegan AND cute shoes – not so much. They’re out there, but I still think a lot of the larger vegan/eco-friendly shoe lines (Payless, Simple, etc.) design more for function than for fun, and therefore neglect a large part of their potential market: the vegan woman who loves fashion (like me – and maybe you!).

Not so, Form and Fauna. Designed by a former yoga instructor, Form and Fauna shoes are as fashion-friendly as they are eco-friendly. Produced in the US, all the shoes are made from sustainable materials and the highest quality synthetics. No wonder they’re consistently featured as one of the better eco-footwear companies today!

Check out some of the most fashionable styles at the Olio United Trunk show this week, where they’re also marked down (until Saturday). My favorite pair is the Cleopatra wedge; how beautiful would these be with a lovely teal dress??

I love this line of organic cotton hand printed (with eco-friendly dyes) tees by Andira at Red Envy Boutique – the design is so beautiful, it looks like a watercolor painting:

andira rain tees, organic cotton, fair trade

About Andira:

Andira donated school supplies to children living in endangered rain forests across Central and South America and had them illustrate what they see occurring around them. Each Andira Rain Tee features their thoughts and illustrations and the children’s name.

Andira’s goal is to educate consumers while giving hope to the people and wildlife of rain forest communities. For every Andira Rain Tee sold, a child involved in Kids Saving the Rain Forest, Costa Rica will receive a tree that they can plant in an area of forest that has been destroyed.

Andira Rain Tees are all 100% certified organic cotton and handmade in Peru using only eco friendly inks and dyes at family owned factories where workers are paid 25% above average wages. For every tee sold a child living in endangered rain forest land receives a tree to plant and learns about how they can protect their forests.

I first fell in love with Emily Katz after seeing her “classic” blue raincoat at an online eco-boutique several years ago. Since then, I’ve followed her collections obsessively, always waiting to see what she does next. Her contemporary, casual vibe is right up my alley, and I love that she works mostly in super-comfy fleece-y/sweatshirt-y materials (what I like to live in!).

My FAVORITE item in the trunk show is this “men swear” jacket in a yummy organic cotton/bamboo blend:

Men Swear Jacket: $192

The jacket is made to order, as are most of the items in the trunk show. And many of them are marked down 50%!! Don’t pass up this opportunity to get a super-chic eco-friendly piece made JUST FOR YOU.

Some other great pieces by Emily Katz at the Olio United Trunk Show:
