Social Rant

by adminon December - 1 - 2011 Add Comments

I recently read an article in the newspaper that said 1 in 5 Americans do not have enough food. For those of you doing the math, that is 20% of our country. These statistics make me sick to my stomach and fill me with the need to do something to help. During these tough economic times, I find it difficult enough to tell my son, “no we can’t buy [whatever toy he is asking for] because we don’t have the money”. I can’t imagine telling my child “no, we cannot have dinner tonight because we have no money and no food”. This absolutely breaks my heart. As I watch so much consumerism going on around me (don’t get me wrong consumerism is important to an extent, as we would not have any economy without it), it strikes me as odd that people would get up at 5:00am or stay out [ Read More ]

Reveal Handbags and Pocket Books

by adminon September - 21 - 2011 Add Comments

I am loving these great Reveal Handbags and Pocket Books. They are so awesome. Not only are they vegan, but they are made of eco-friendly materials, such as hemp and recycled polyester. My favorite is the Vegan Superstar (featured image). It is so cute and comes in three colors, white, black and light charcoal. I personally have one of the backpack style hemp bags. It is great for when we are out at all day events, but it is not the most fashionable accessory in my wardrobe. These bags are something a girl can feel good about. Not only are they a friend to the environment, but they will look “oh so chic” perched upon your shoulder for a day out shopping and hanging out with friends.

Love Peace Vegan Not Just for the Girls

vegan clothing unisex blue dark grey v-neck

Hi All. Since the Vegan Fashion Blog usually caters to a female audience (sorry guys, I will work on bringing more male fashion I promise), I totally forgot to let everyone know that Love Peace Vegan T’s are not just for the girls. Most of the T’s are unisex and perfect for men and women alike and don’t forget all proceeds go towards great charities, so please buy an Love Peace Vegan T or Tank today to support ethical fashion with a cause.

Etsy Love, Peace, Vegan Line

by adminon September - 14 - 2011 Add Comments

Rarely do I come across a t-shirt that I must have, but these great T’s from Etsy’s Love, Peace, Vegan Line are absolutely fabulous. I love them sooo much:) Most vegan t-shirts are only appropriate for workouts at home and vegan rally’s, but these t-shirts are appropriate for a night out, a casual day shopping, wearing to the gym or almost anywhere else you can imagine. They are subtle with great lines and tasteful lettering. Love them. The best part about these t-shirts is that they are eco-friendly and all proceeds go towards charitable contributions such as Ocean Conservancy, Humane Society, and Savethechildren.org. Thank you Linh for creating these wonderful shirts. As with most of us lovely vegan fashionistas, Linh was on the hunt for a shirt that expressed her passion for veganism, but did not commit a fashion faux pas. At a loss to find anything truly wonderful, she [ Read More ]

Fashion Night Out New York City

by adminon September - 9 - 2011 Add Comments

Okay, so I know that this is short notice, but for those of you living in New York City there is a big Fashion Night Out event happening tonight from 6-10pm. What does this mean for all of you beautiful vegan fashionistas? It means that you can receive discounts at some of your favorite vegan fashion stores. I received an email from MooShoes that they will be offering a 15% discount on all of their merchandise. This includes awesome Cri De Couer handbags, Vaute Couture coats, and Matt Nat . There will also be prizes and an opportunity to win a $50 gift card. I am so jealous of those of you in New York right now. Go, have fun, and report back to me on how awesome it was so I can live vicariously through you, sigh.

Christopher Drummond Organic Vegan Beauty

by adminon January - 25 - 2011 1 Comment

I am pretty excited because I got an email from Christopher Drummond the other day. Okay so the email is most likely from his press team, but it was pretty exciting nonetheless. Not only is he a makeup artist to the stars (Jennifer Lopez), but his products are all organic and vegan. Here is the copy of the press release sent to me. New York, NY Celebrity Makeup Artist Christopher Drummond shows you how to get JLO’s glowing look with his all natural, organic-based, vegan makeup line. Online PR News – 20-January-2011 – Jennifer Lopez looked gorgeous for her debut as a judge last night on American Idol. She was sporting her trademark gorgeous skin, long lashes and simple smoky eye. Moisturize: Be sure to moisturize the skin properly. This is very important. JLo exfoliates and hydrates on a very regular basis…Purportedly, she loves La Prarie. However, if you have [ Read More ]

NAE Neuseta Boots

by adminon January - 12 - 2011 Add Comments

I was contacted by a great new company in Portugal the other day. Coincidentally, my family on my mother’s side happens to be Portuguese, and I still have relatives living in the Azores, so I was pretty excited to learn about the products from this company. Many people may not know it, but Portugal is actually a pretty eco-conscious country, and is actively working on alternative energy sources. Anyway, back to fashion . . . These Neuseta Boots from NAE (No Animal Exploitation) are so awesome and so in fashion right now. As I posted last week, the 70′s are back, and that means cool Boheme style. These boots would be perfect paired with a long, flowing skirt. They are so Carly Simon. I love this look. It makes me want to break out the peace sign necklaces and go to a free concert in the park.

Vegan Fashion Trends 2011

by adminon January - 6 - 2011 Add Comments

skirt 4-sequined-white cotton waist skirt

Okay, so there is good news and bad news about projected fashion trends for Spring/Summer 2011. I have scoured several fashion sites and blogs and I think it is official, the 70′s are making a coming. I’m not sure how I feel about that, because the idea of a polyester suit against my skin is not exactly appealing. But there are many things to like about the current trends, like the Boheme look, which I think many of us vegans are pretty good at and the best part is we can feed our inner hippies and still be fashionable. So break out the long flowing skirts and chunky turquois jewelry. White is the color of the season (of course it is almost always the color of summer). Also hot, bold bright colors (think orange, bright green, and bright purples). So clothing will be fun. My only concern about the upsurge [ Read More ]

Happy New Year

by adminon January - 3 - 2011 Add Comments

I can’t believe it is 2011 already. This year flew by. I have been so busy the past few weeks. I don’t know if I shared with you all that I taught my first university class this past quarter. I taught an undergraduate course in behavior disorders in childhood. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work. Finals week was the second week of December and grades were due the following week. Then my family took turns having the flu. We were down for the count for about a week and a half. Then with Christmas preparations, I haven’t had any time to post:( I hope everybody had an awesome holiday season. We really did have a lot of fun. I ate a ton of great food, got awesome presents, and best of all got to spend time with my son, doing fun things. We went to [ Read More ]

Lifestride Yesterday Vegan Ankleboots

by adminon December - 17 - 2010 Add Comments

I think Lifestride becomes more and more fashionable every year. These Lifestride Yesterday boots are so cute. They scream winter. They can in black or grey as shown. I love the side detailing and these boots get awesome reviews for their comfort, which means you can walk in them all day. Hmmm, maybe a last minute add for my Christmas list. Vegan Barbecued Meatballs ~ The Perfect Appetizer 1 package vegan meatballs (Trader Joe’s makes an excellent one) 1 jar or container of natural barbecue sauce (once again Trader Joe’s makes an excellent one) Put the meatballs and the barbecue sauce into a crockpot and heat on high for about 1 hour. You can let sit as long as you need on warm. Get some toothpicks and let your guests serve themselves some awesome barbecue flavored goodness. This is a recipe I got from my cousin. We went my aunt’s [ Read More ]

BBQ “Beef” Sandwiches

by adminon December - 10 - 2010 Add Comments

My father-in-law and my father are total meat eaters, but I have found a product that satisfies even their meat-eating needs for food. I don’t know if you have ever tried Fakin’ Bacon, but it is truly a wonderful product. The first time I bought I was craving a bacon sandwich. It didn’t necessarily cure my craving for bacon, but it did start a new obsession because it tastes so much like barbecued beef. After trying it the first time, I craved a barbecued sandwich. I bought another package and cooked it in olive oil until it began to crisp some. Then I added barbecue sauce. I toasted some sour dough bread and slathered it with Veganaise and then scooped some of the Fakin’ Bacon in Barbecue sauce onto the toast. OMG, it was absolutely delicious. Even my meat eating father-in-law and father loved these sandwiches. They are very barbecue [ Read More ]

gaiam organic cottong rayon bamboo convertible wrap

I love this Giam Organic Cotton Rayon Bamboo Convertible Wrap. It is so coo;. It can be worn to work over a dress or blouse, or casually as shown over a tank or t-shirt. It could even be worn with yoga pants and a yoga tank on the way to and from the gym or to the grocery store. This sweater has so many uses, and I love the fact that it is organic.

Sexy Vegan Heels

by adminon December - 3 - 2010 Add Comments

OMG, I love, love, love these Brazil Sandals by Olsen Haus. They are so sexy and so unique and best of all so vegan!!! These may not be “mom” shoes, but blogging again has reminded me that I need to spice up my life a little so that I have fun and exciting places to wear fabulous fashion.

My New Passion

by adminon December - 2 - 2010 Add Comments

Okay, so I know that this bicycle does not have a lot to do with fashion, though it is fabulously pink, but I just wanted to make sure my husband was well aware of what I wanted more than anything for Christmas. I have a new, or should I say resurrected passion lately. I am training to do some bicycle tours. I have always wanted to ride my bike up and down the California Coast. My current bicycle is very old, but works for around town. But I am dreaming of a new bicycle. I found this awesome Motobecane bicycle on bikesdirect.com. I cannot believe the deals. A friend of mine told me about the site. You can purchase bikes for 50% off the original price or more. This bicycle is $795.00 on bikesdirect.com versus $1795.00 when you go directly to the Motobecane site. Same bicycle, same everything, except the [ Read More ]

To Die For Vegan Holiday Shoes

by adminon November - 24 - 2010 2 Comments

OMG, I have found to die for vegan holiday shoes. I want these shoes so bad. I love every detail from the little zipper on the back to the ruffles down the middle. These Nine West Exposure peep toe shoes are the perfect shade of red for upcoming holiday parties. I think I need to throw a party so I have a reason to wear these fabulous shoes. LUV them. Speaking of holiday parties, no recipe screams holidays like spinach dip. This has been a family staple for years, so I had to learn to veganize it. Of course this is a pretty easy recipe to veganize. Vegan Spinach Dip 8 oz vegenaise 16 oz Tofutti sour cream 1 bunch green onions sliced into thin slices 1 package Simply Organic spinach dip mix 1 large sour dough bread bowl 1 box triscuits It is important to make sure you make [ Read More ]

First Ever Vegan Blogger Conference

by adminon November - 19 - 2010 Add Comments

Nothing excites me as much as a super cute article of clothing that is made of organic materials. Awesome and kind to the environment, you cannot beat that. I so love this Organic Pima Wrap Sweater by Beyond Yoga. It is so fashionable and made of 100% organic cotton. It also features certified low impact eco-friendly dye. I am so excited, I got an email today letting me know about the first ever Vegan Blogger Conference. That is so cool. What an exciting way to meet face-to-face with other vegan bloggers. Here is a copy of the exact email: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 16, 2010 VIDA VEGAN CON: THE FIRST EVER VEGAN BLOGGER CONFERENCE PORTLAND, OR – August 26-28, 2011.

Hurley Winchester Sherpa Jacket

by adminon November - 18 - 2010 Add Comments

Tofurkey day is coming and I will definitely be posting a couple of recipes perfect for holiday season soirees later this week. I cannot believe that we are about to officially enter the holiday season. I also cannot believe how many of the stores already think it is the holiday season. It is so annoying. I know the stores have been hurting, but it is annoying that they are trying to get extend the holiday shopping season further commercializing Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, I love shopping and I love buying for other people, but I think the holiday shopping season is long enough. Enough ranting. I am still trying to put together my winter wardrobe. Yesterday I found a great work jacket, but every girl needs a great casual jacket and I have found the perfect one. Love this Hurley Winchester Sherpa Jacket. It is so fun. It looks [ Read More ]

Hurley Winchester Women’s Hooded Coat

by adminon November - 17 - 2010 Add Comments

I cannot believe Thanksgiving is just over a week away. You know what that means, Black Friday is also just around the corner. I go shopping with my mom every year on Black Friday. It is more about spending time with my mom, than the shopping itself. I prefer leisurely shopping, as opposed to the fast frantic pace of major power shopping, but I do love the fact that we run into so many people we know. I’m not so sure how I feel about the whole wearing your pj’s shopping thing, but to each their own. I have always told my husband, they should stop the sales at 12 midnight and provide chauffeurs and champagne. They would probably sell a lot more products. It is definitely fall, and our weather has been teasing us. It will be warm for a couple of days, than cold and rainy, than clear [ Read More ]

Madden Girl Sheldun Boots

by adminon November - 15 - 2010 Add Comments

We had the most awesome hike on Friday. The weather was perfect and we could see down the coast for miles. Here are some awesome pictures my dh took from the day. There was a controlled burn that day and we say some amazing views of the smoke. It was wild to watch. It looked so alive. Luckily the burn is over now and everything was safe. This is an amazing view from the peak of the mountain. We were able to see several towns away. My dh wanted to be able to prove that we actually climbed over 1300 feet. This is a picture from our decent back down the mountain. We are so lucky. We had such a beautiful backdrop for our hike. Now fashion can compare to the beauty of nature. We had such a great time, we are hoping to go again next weekend. Okay, so [ Read More ]

Madden Girl Zoiiee Boots

by adminon November - 12 - 2010 Add Comments

Madden Girl is one of my favorite shoe brands. I am totally in love with their wedge pumps (I will definitely post some of them in the near future). I have also found some great winter boots by Madden Girl. I truly adore these Madden Girl Zoiiee boots. They are so cute and would be great with a cute pair of skinny jeans.

Going Hiking

garmont women's kiowa vegan hiking boots

I am so excited. I have the day off and I am dragging my family out for a day hike. I’m not sure if the family is excited as I am, but they will have fun. We are going on a beautiful 5.5 mile hike up a mountain that overlooks the Central California coastline. My husband actually wants to start training for a multi-day hiking trip. I am all down for that. I will need to get some hiking gear and I was excited for find some vegan hiking boots. These Garmont Kiowa vegan hiking boots are certainly on my shopping list of things to get. Anybody out there own a pair, because I would love to know how they fit. To start my morning off right and make sure I have plenty of energy for the hike I had an Amy’s Tofu Scramble breakfast. Not quite as good as [ Read More ]

Love at First Sight

by adminon November - 11 - 2010 2 Comments

Happy Veteran’s Day tomorrow. I don’t how many of you know it, but I was in the Air Force for 4 1/2 years. It was a really awesome experience. Tomorrow, we get to help the Cub Scouts (my son is currently in Cub Scouts) set up at the local Veteran’s memorial, after which we will stay for the ceremony. Today’s post is slightly reminiscent of my time in the military when I got to wear combat boots to work everyday. The only difference is these Kensie Girl Ramina boots are super cute. They are kind of rugged with a feminine touch. They are my absolute favorite find since I began posting again. I might have to pick up a pair of these, because they will be the perfect winter boot.

Roxy Truckee Vegan Winter Boots

by adminon November - 10 - 2010 Add Comments

I love the Roxy brand. There are so many vegan-friendly fashion choices. I have found purses, belts, and shoes that are cute and vegan. This always makes me happy. The Roxy Truckee is certainly a more functional boot. A little rugged for my taste, but they definitely look warm and would compliment a pair of jeans or khakis perfectly.

Kate Spade New York Randi Boots

by adminon November - 9 - 2010 Add Comments

I know I promised great “everyday” boots, but when I saw these Randi boots by Kate Spade New York I just had to post about them. They are so cute and so feminine. When was the last time you played in the rain and jumped in some puddles? They may be pricey, but they are so worth it.

Vegan Winter Boots

by adminon November - 8 - 2010 Add Comments

One of the biggest questions I used to get asked when I was blogging before, is where can I find functional winter vegan boots, that don’t look tacky or like snow boots. Living in California, I never had a need for such shoes, but I recently lived in Illinois for a year and to be quite honest, I wore my snow boots to work and changed when I got to work on days when it was either snowing or icy. The few times I wore my “regular” boots, my feet froze. It seems as if, even two years later, things have not changed. It is still very difficult to find a pair of even semi-fashionable vegan winter boots. I am making it my mission this week to find great boots that are fashionable, or at least not hideous. The first pair of boots I found today are actually snow boots, [ Read More ]

Asian Vegan Potluck

by adminon November - 8 - 2010 2 Comments

I know when I first began publishing this blog, I focused almost exclusively on vegan fashion. I published a secondary blog about vegan food. As I enjoy food, entertaining, fashion, and fitness, I have decided to include all of these topics into one blog. After all, what fashionista does not love entertaining (after all what better way to show off our great fashion flare). And of course, most great fashionistas are fitness enthusiasts to ensure we look as absolutely fabulous as possible in our wonderful vegan and organic fashions. Last weekend was my brother’s birthday. He is a Halloween child. This was another great opportunity for me to put my apron on and introduce friends and family to more wonderful and delicious vegan foods. My brother loves Asian food, so I decided to make some Korean food and some Thai food. The food was so delicious. My brother was way [ Read More ]

I’m Back

by adminon November - 3 - 2010 2 Comments

Hello all, It has been a long time since I have been on my blog. I am super crazy busy, but miss my blog so much. I plan on changing the blog some, but it will still have a huge focus on vegan fashion. Part of my goal is to incorporate vegan party planning, fashion for different aspects of life, including sports/fitness, work, play, and casual. Stay tuned . . . because this weekend I will have some great new posts for you to read. I missed you all and look forward to chatting with all of the wonderful vegan fashionistas in the world.
