Check out this totally vegan shoes. I know vegan means someone who does not eat/use any sort of animal product, that includes milk, cheese, eggs, leather, cosmetics using bug juice or animal gelatin etc.
So what’s a vegan shoe, exactly? A vegan shoe is simply a shoe that is completely animal free. It is not rolled out from pig skin factory belt, it is not made from leather, you get the picture.
This is a Stella McCartney’s Vegan Shoes:

They are recyclable too!
Check out these cutesy rain boots. I thought they’re really cute for the cold season and you can wear them during rainy days as well :)





From AsiaJam.
More new shoes are docking AsiaJam’s stores. I am quite and advocate for them because of the variety they offer for fashion from head to toe. Anyway these new shoes from AsiaJam looks like a copy from the latest fashion in footwear for a fraction of the price. Fraction may even be too harsh because $19 bucks for a pair of shoes is a steal. Don’t talk to me about quality, shopping in places like that are for decadence and momentary pleasure.
Anyway, i have some shoes here for show but to view more, check out their website.




FlipFlops Galore
FlipFlops, Japanese Sandals, Jandals, Slippers, whatever you may call it from your continent, everybody loves it for its comfort.
I found this company that specializes in making and selling flip flop footwear called the Flip Flop Company. They make them for both men and women, so feel free to browse through their catalog and place an order since it’s summer and flipflop is a daily footwear for the season. Who wants to wear shoes, they make your feet stink :P
Check it out at FlipFlopCompany.
I am a woman and of course i have an inborn fetish for shoes. Not in the kinky sense but in the hoarding sense. I need 3 black shoes, so what if they’re black right? Not all black shoes suit the same dresses. :P Anyway, i found some nice, cute flats on AsiaJams.
Look at them:



These are shoes, I’d like to own. *click*click*click*
but apparently, the best seller is this white polka dot flats hehehe..it’s cute too:

I’m a woman so naturally i’m into shoes although i don’t think i have enough of them. I need another black moccasins even though my brown ones are just fine…but they’re brown. :(
Anyway, i found some really cute shoes at AsiaJam. Those peeptoe shoes are soooo adorable.






I quite like the gold one…hmmm….
I guess peeptoe shoes are in for summer.
This is not really fashionable but it’s fashioned enough to keep your belongings safe i think. With summer drawing near, you’re read to go to the beach boys and girls but we all knw what a hassle it is to bring your bulky wallet and all the other knick knacks like keys and stuff. With this “fashionable” flip flops you can stash your important stuff right under your sole. :P The compartment hides underneath your soles …the flipflops can actually be quite flattering to the figure because it gives you a bit of heels. Hmm..who says it can’t be fashionable? It even comes in different colors.




You can get these compartment flipflops from Spydersurf for only $45.99.
No, i don’t think they found a new gold mine somewhere in Japan this time. It’s just that the Gold fashion statement is back again in Japan. Gold jewelry (ew), gold buttons, gold bag, gold shoes, gold scarfs, gold skirts, etc…just you name it, all thing un-gold is being replaced like right this instant as I am typing.
Gold was popular in the 80’s…which is actually one of the worse fashion eras in our lives - shoulder pads, carrot cut pants, and those big hairs,trashy make up…… Please let this not be another 80’s. I have nothing against the color gold except for in jewelry. I hate gold jewelry and prefer to opt for silver, white gold or platinum. I still kept that gold bracelet my dad gave me as a sentimental item but it won’t be appearing on my wrist anytime soon. But that doesn’t change that the Gold Rush is back in the fashion industry.
Here are some goldies for you:
Gold Bag from Botkier
Juicy Coutour “Peggy” Flats
Rebecca Norman’s Gold Cuff
Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Gold
Anna Maa’s ring
Gold Pendent
That’s all the gold I have for now.

Japanese Geta
Geta is a traditional Japanese footwear that is often worn with a yukata or a kimono. It’s a cross between clogs and flip-flops. If you look at them, you’ll see that these footwear is no easy to wear as the wooden heels are placed in a position that most of us non-Japanese are not used to. While we walk in our shoes where the soles are flat or the heels are, well, at our heels, the Geta’s wooden base does not support the toes. I won’t get too much into the science of walking, let’s just say that to walk in a Geta takes some practice.
Sometimes geta are worn in rain or snow to keep the feet dry, due to their extra height and impermeability compared to other shoes such as zori.
There are several different styles of geta. The most familiar style in the West consists of an unfinished wooden board called a dai (台, stand) that the foot is set upon, with a cloth thong (鼻緒, hanao) that passes between the big toe and second toe. As geta are usually worn only with yukata or other informal Japanese clothes or Western clothes, there is no need to wear socks. Ordinary people wear at least slightly more formal zori when wearing special toe socks called tabi. Apprentice geisha, also called “maiko”, wear their special geta (called okobo) with tabi to accommodate the hanao. The okobo is very tall and is usually made with willow wood.

Rounded toed pumps, shoes and heels are currently the favored footwear for women in their twenties in Japan. Gone are the days where exceptionally pointy shoes, shoes that can hurt when kicked in the groin, were in as they are now taking the backseat.
Check out some really cute rounded toes shoes that are currently in fashion in Japan.
