Chinese New Year: Year Of The Cat

jen — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 05:55:20 +0000

It’s true, I have been hibernating… at least from the internet lately. But now it’s time to get back in the swing of things, blog style. And although it still feels like winter weather outside, it’s more than time to shed your shearling shoes for something equally as cute and cozy. Lucky Cat Shearling Boots by Bamboo provide all the comfort and none of the cruelty with their faux shearling interior and psuedo suede exterior. By traditional Chinese standards, oh ten is technically the Year of the Tiger, but mini Maneki Neko makes such a fetching little felidae that he deserves to steal some spotlight.

I Like To Moove It, Moove It

I used to be pretty down with Three Dog Night, but after my recent search and rescue request mission for a size 11 heeled vegan boot, I must seriously disagree with them about one being the loneliest number. I think my pal/web designer extraordinaire Jenn Schiffer can definitely attest that, in fact, 11 is the loneliest number – or I bet it certainly feels that way when you’re stranded solo in a shoe store surrounded by a sea of sevens and other so-never-gonna-fit-me sizes. Luckily, Moo Shoes stepped out onto the scene at the turn of the century to toss you leggy ladies a life preserver – and a complimentary lesson in size conversion. (An American size 11 equates to a European size 42.) Find my picks below.

You take the high road…

And I’ll take the low road…

…and I swear I’ll stop making silly song puns before the next post (total lie). Check out MooShoes.com ASAP before the size sells out, or if you’re kickin’ it local, stop by their flagship store in NYC.

Talk about deck shoes done dainty, done up, done dangerously – and just plain done right. Draven’s sassy slip-ons are sure to get your stems some extra stares. Inspired by skateboard culture, they cap off their kicks with some fancy frills and a 100% vegan label.

Play. Work. Party.

A Rose By Any Other Name…

Would still make an adorable accent to any flat. But a zipper lined, black patent vegan one is truly a rare flower. I’m not normally into girlie girl style or it’s trademarks of pinks, florals, ruffles, and such. But this unique pair from Vegan Chic has definitely grown it’s way into my heart. I think it’s the zipper detailing that adds just the right amount of draw I need to deem it wear-worthy. Too bad there’s no possible way that my little size 6 foot can pull off the only pair of 8’s they have left.

Chinese New Year: Year Of The Snake

Once you slip these slithery peep-toed flats on, you won’t want to shed these babies. They’re perfect for summer and are far from a boring basic with their sassy criss-cross weave. With a wide selection offered, you can opt for the super synthetic brown snakeskin replicas or the slightly more subtle black ones. Both pairs come loaded with scale-free style.
