Here is a sample of some of the great products that can be found on the Yosifa Penina Website:

How cute are these hair clips. The Yosifa Penina Vines Barrette (top) and the Yosifa Penina Aztec Barrette (bottom) are absolutely fabulous. I would definitely check out the site to see all of the other great designs.

What I truly love though are the belts. It is so hard to find cute and fashionable belts as a vegan. These great belts will add color and style to any outfit. I love the mosaic design of the Yosifa Penina Glass Belt. It is very original and very chic.

My favorite is this edgy Yosifa Penina Irish Lass Belt (check out the other colors available). The design is beautiful and is perfect for a rocker chic style. It would also be a beautiful addition to a classy dress or skirt.

To get an edgier look, pair the Irish Lass Belt with this cool Go Veg Organic Cotton Tank

and these super hip Of the Earth Organic Cotton Jeans.

Top this outfit with these sexy Rampage Lucee wedged slingbacks and

this adorable Rampage Underground Plaid Satchel and you are definitely ready for a night out on the town.

Now all you need is a great black faux leather jacket! Don’t forget to check out the Yosifa Penina website, it is definitely worth it.

I adore this Rampage Prescott Shoulder Bag. The shape is so fashionable, but it is truly the color and the pattern of the material that I love the most.

White is hot for spring and this Rampage Muse Hobo is the perfect spring fashion accessory. The only thing I am not totally sure about is the front coin pouchy thing. It almost looks like a cigarette case, uck!.

This Rampage Muse Satchel with Kiss Lock is really cute. I love the faux leather like ruffle around the edges. For some reason the front pouch doesn’t bug me so much on this particularly purse like it did on Rampage Muse Hobo.

The final purse that I wanted to share today is Rampage Wanted Crinkle Patent Satchel. I absolutely love the color and the faux patent material. This purse is so hot and would definite add interest to any outfit. Pair it with all white for a great spring or summer look, or with a sleek black outfit for evening wear or a fall/winter look. Love all the useful pouches for cellphone, keys, change, etc.

These Breezy Sandals are my favorite Rampage find of the day. OMG, they are so cute. Love the white denim material with silver bead detailing. These shoes are casual enough for day, but hot enough for going out at night. Love, love, love these shoes.

Animal print is still hot this season, and these Rampage Eaton peeptoe shoes are the perfect finishing touch to a very sleek and sexy outfit. Imagine them with a black silhouetted outfit, hot!

For those of you who need something a little flatter. These great Rampage Nash can add a great rocker chic touch to your summertime wear. Love the studs.

These Rampage Gionanna simple rounded toe platform pumps scream Guess girl to me. I don’t know how many of you were around during the eighties, but these shoes are totally reminiscent of those worn by many of the Guess models. I love this clean simple look. So sexy and so perfect for that special date night. All women look hot in these shoes.

With all of these great choices, seriously, what is not to love about the Rampage brand?

Canvas is such a breathable fabric, therefore, you can’t go wrong with canvas wedges on those hot summer days. I truly love these Celena Wedge Sandals by Chinese Laundry. I love the buckle, I love the cross-stitched detailing. Very cute. These shoes can easily transition from daytime beach wear to nighttime play wear.

And how about these PS I Love You Slingbacks by Seychelles? Love them. The polka-dots and the bow make these shoes!

Finally, we have the very fun, very flirty Taura Wedge by Tommy Hilfiger. This shoe is so cute. I can just imagine strutting along the boardwalk wearing these.

It’s almost the end of the week. Hope everyone is having a good one. As you can probably tell I am daydreaming of warmer days. The rain is definitely leaving me craving warmer, dryer carefree summer days.

This next fabulous purse is for those of you that have to bring everything, including the kitchen sink, with you everywhere you go. Think of all the stuff you could shove into this Large Guess Signs Satchel. You could carry this purse with you wearing almost any outfit you want. I love the neutral brown color and the buckle detailing. The fabric is so cute and the brown and gold together, perfection.

This Matt & Nat Live-sm Satchel in purple is so fun and so functional. You could carry portfolios or business proposals with ease in the bag. The purple coloring with the contrast stitching is so cool. What’s that you ask? Is purple a good color for the coming season? Oh, yes. It is definitely one of the hot colors for spring. Love this bag.

I think this “Big Chill” Asymmetrical Faux Patent Leather Jacket with Belt by Target is soooo cute. Love the fitted cut and the belt to accentuate the waist. I wonder if it looks as cute in person, because it really is fabulous in the photograph.

Now for my favorite part of the post, shoes! You can’t have an outfit without them, and you certainly wouldn’t want to. Spring and summer lines are beginning to hit the shelves and they are cute. I am so glad that the grunge look it out. It was so unflattering and just not cute. Love the retro styles, feminine touches, and great colors of this season. Check out these adorable white Selena sandals by Annie. Vegan shoes are definitely getting better with each season. These sandals are so classy. They would be perfect with your favorite pair of skinny jeans or a dress. Love the gold rhinestone detailing and squared off toe. These shoes would be very cute for a vegan wedding. Imagine wearing these with a beautiful white satin wedding dress.

At first sight, I did not like these shoes, but they have grown on me. The brown bow makes these Pelle Moda Fantasi denim wedges for me and I love the peep toe. Definitely not something I would wear to work, but for casual weekend wear, they are definitely fun.

They are not necessarily my type of shoe, I’m not really a huge animal print kind of person, but I do love the style, which makes these basic black Shellys of London Carla ballet shoe in Satin (animal print on the inside, no problem) on thumbs up with me. Simple, understated and perfect for the outfit that already has some bold colors or patterns.

But today is really about purses, and I have found some that I absolutely love. These first two purses are the Faux Sure Fair Trade handbag by World of Good, made of 100% faux suede with a satin lining. I love these purses. They are so feminine. I love the little bow. My favorite is the beige with the pink ribbon, but they are both very cute.

I also adore this Kathy Van Zeeland Heartbreakers handbag in White. White with gold trim is so in right now. Whether in or not though, this bag is a winner with me.

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

This Kara B Voyager Organizer in Marcia Floral is just what I have been looking for. It is too cute and appeals the hippy inside of me. At 6″ x 9″ it is about the same size as the one I currently own.

What about these laptop bags? Whereas, I could probably get away with something a little loud for my organizer, this is not so much the case for my laptop bag. I want something a little more sleek and sophisticated. These stylish Metro Mini Laptop Totes by Clark & Mayfield would make any girl look professional and sophisticated. Success in business is often about how you present yourself, and with this tote at your side, you will demonstrate that your belong in the boardroom. The only question is:

Geo Green?

Or Diamond Ivory?

I love them both, so that is a very tough decision. What do you all think?

As I do a quick scan through the news, it appears that no matter where you go, winter is making an appearance. It is absolutely freezing outside. We have been having record low this week and brrrr, is it cold. When it is this cold outside, it definitely makes you want to reach for a warm pair of gloves. Something that is not always the easiest task as a vegan. You often have your choice between wool, cashmere, leather and suede, with some microfleece thrown into the mix. Well I have found two pairs of gloves that will keep your hands very, very warm in this cold weather.

The first pair is a faux suede from Lands’ End:

Very stylish, they come in multiple colors and will go with just about everything.

For those of who live where it is really, really cold, these faux shearling gloves by Lands’s End are beautifully styled and just looking at them makes my hands a bit warmer.

Fashion does not have to be sacrificed in the process of staying warm and cruelty-free, it just may take a little more creativity.

Look for my special holiday post tomorrow.

These first pair of shoes are a classic black ankle boot and can be worn with about anything. I love these Rampage Calyspo boots. Vegan boots just keep getting better and better.

Steve Madden has another great pair of ankle boots. These Chucky boots are a great way to express the inner wild child in you. These boots are so fabulous.

I know that Ugg-style boots are on their way out the door, but living in a California coastal community I have grown up with them and have a bit of an attachment to them. Skechers has their own version that is 100% totally vegan and they look absolutely fabulous. Nothing keeps your fee warm on a cold winter day like these boots.

Now for some hot purses. I just can’t seem to get enough of the wonderful cruelty-free purses from Guess. Of course, not all guess purses are cruelty-free, but they certainly do have a great selection of vegan alternatives. I really like this Large Guess Satchel. You can fit so much stuff in it, yet it is totally fashionable and will go with anything.

I truly adore this Dr. Dr. Give Me the News purse by L. Erickson. Call me a dork, but I love the pink.

Finally, I found this Stylish Black Tote from Target. You can fit all of yours and your families need into this bag. Lot’s of pockets, lot’s of space and lot’s of style. This is the recipe for the perfect bag.

BTW, if you haven’t been to Glam.com lately, you absolutely must visit. They have created a community similar to MySpace, but just for those interested in beauty, fashion, and women’s lifestyle issues. It is really cool, and everyone is so friendly. I totally recommending setting up a profile and going out and interacting with others on the site. If you do sign-up, make sure to stop by my profile, veganfashiongirl and say hi. Feel free to drop links to your personally url in your message space. I have already come across a few vegetarians and some yoga-addicted glam girls since signing up a week ago. Rumor has it that this is the fastest growing fashion site online.

This first item, is a delicate Snowflake Necklace. Very simple, yet appropriate for a day out shopping. This necklace is made of sterling silver and is on sale for $13.20 right now.

The next necklace uses the expression of color to bring the holiday’s to life. This beautiful Victorian Red Garnet necklace is perfect for that holiday party and would elegant with a little black dress.

This final Emerald Necklace, once again uses the expression of color. Beautiful emeralds against white gold will go with any neutral color dress. This would be a great gift from that someone special.

Each of these necklaces will be the perfect topper to your holiday fashion (which doesn’t mean Claus Sweaters or Shirts with bright bulbs. I have seen plenty of those this season).

First, let me start with purses. Fall is all about big purses, and I have found some of the most beautiful and functioning purses. For all of my family members out there, faux leather purses are on my holiday list.

I absolutely love this Guess Timeless Edition Faux Leather Satchel in pink and brown. I love the fact that guess makes so many fashion items out of faux leather. All I have to say is I want it, I want it, I want it. (If I say it enough times, do you think it is possible that I will get it?)

I think I have found a new purse brand that I have absolutely fallen in love with. These Rampage purses are so classy and fashionable and look just like those that can be found on Hollywoods hottest stars. Hobo Bags are all the rage right now and I truly love this Hobo Bag by Rampage, it screams quality.

How cute is this Rampage Faux Leather Handbag. This is true runway quality.

‘Tis the season to go traveling. Carry your fashionable cruelty-free looks into your travel accessories with these great laptop bags.

I really love this beautiful Moc Croc Faux Leather Laptop Case from Kara B. It is so rich in color and beatifully designed. I could definitely go for one of these.

Dress up an all black outfit with this great Peridot Kara B Euro Faux Leather Briefcase. You will definitely look classy carrying this bag in the airport.

This great Laptop Bag from Mango Tango is simple and will blend beautifully with almost any outfit.

Watches can be a great accessory, they are functional, but can also serve as jewelry. Today’s watches are more beautiful then ever. I have a few that I think will be perfect with any outfit. This is another item at the top of my Christmas Wish List.

It is hard to believe that this Ecclissi Watch is actually a watch. It is so beautifully made and would definitely be a beautiful addition to your Evenning Wear for that dressy holiday party.

A little bit more simple, this classy Timex Watch can be worn with either evenning wear or while out doing your holiday shopping.

I love this Onyx and Crystal Beaded Watch by Gemstone Gifts. It is another beautiful watch that can be worn for dressier occasions.

And don’t forget a fantastic belt to top off the perfect outfit. This season is definitely about belts to define your beautiful waist that you work so hard for.I love this great Brown Faux Leather Vintage Cinch Belt by Accessory Bug. It will definitely add class to your skinny jeans and long sweater or shirt.

Patent leather is one of the hottest items this season, but I still love animals more than any fashion item. Well, this great Faux Patent Leather Belt by L’Adore allows you to have your vegan cake and eat it too. 100% cruelty-free, this belt would be a great addition to any outfit.

Look for more great accessories to be posted throughout the month. Remember ‘Tis the season for accessorizing, fa la la la la la la la la.
