Enlighten Your Wardrobe For The Holidays
Posted by Mandi | Filed under Bags, Fashion
I am a big fan of bold, over-sized bags. That must be the reason I find Big Buddha’s holiday line of bags so enchanting. The shimmery faux leather and croc and knitted hobos beg you to fill them with all of your holiday season necessities. I love how they are not over the top and gaudy, as some wintery handbags tend to be. All Big Buddha Bags are inexpensive, so it wont make too big of a dent in your holiday fund.
Unfortunately you can only get a hold of these bags via fashion trade shows at a few boutiques, and the occasional website. Not directly off of their site.
As far as I can tell, all of Big Buddha’s bags are vegan. There is no official disclaimer on the site. Just make sure to double check with your seller about a particular bag, before you purchase.

This Madden Girl Women’s Singerr Mid Shaft Boot (middle) is totally kick ass -so kick ass I have actually posted about it before! Avaialbe in brown, black and this fantastic shimmery grey color. These boots make me drool.
The Nine West Women’s Genisis Boot (right) is unbelievably sexy and feminine. I think a women wearing these boots can get anything she wants.. ANYTHING. And she doesn’t even have to say please.
I have no idea when this sale ends, so try to jump on it real quick if you see anything that strikes your fancy. Enjoy!
Big Cozy Sweaters <3
Posted by Mandi | Filed under Fashion
Starting in October and ending in May my body temperature drops to a freezing level and I can only be saved by scorching hot showers and big cozy sweaters. I’m talking big-clunky-wraparound-throw-over-anything-made-by-eskimos sweaters. Unfortunately these sweaters are typically made of wool and I have had an awful time finding such sweaters in the past few years since I have made the choice to go vegan. But alas, I have found a big warm sweater made from cotton, and not just any cotton, organic cotton! Its warm and its soft and it makes my soul smile.
Check out The Graduate Sweater made by ID Organics. Each sweater is made fairly, by hand, and aparently just for me. 
Feel Good Evening Wear
Posted by Mandi | Filed under Fashion
Say hello to Dalia, a collection of evening gowns that are beautifully designed and handcrafted using innovative methods and technology. Most of Dalia’s dresses are vegan (look for the “V” underneath each dress), and all are absolute head-turners. What a way to look gorgeous at a holiday party and not compromise your ethics.
For every gown sold, a portion of the proceeds is donated to Women for Women International and they also plant a tree in the Tahoe National Forest in your name. Can you say that about your Dior gown? I think not.
Now all I need is a formal event!
