Shoe-of-the-day: Louboutin

These are gorgeous. And would be great for the holidays or New Year's. I like that they are not typically flashy and shiny but are still showstopping.

Shoe-of-the-day: J-41

These are slightly different than some of my regular posts, but for some reason I really like these wedges by J-41. Maybe it's the combo of sweet w/ rugged? Or the chunky sole that looks like you could almost go hiking and still have super-cute feet?

I also don't know really anything about this J-41 company. It looks like it's owned by Chrysler...?! And that it's based on Jeep (as in the car) technology...interesting. I also like the motto 'Adventure On' and the map on the sole of each shoe.

Shoe-of-the-day: White House Black Market

Sometimes things are just black and white....or silver!

Again probably not winning any environmentalist points with this one... but it's so shinnnyyy

Shoe-of-the-day: Ed Hardy

Okay I get no points from the environment today b/c I'm not so sure that the Ed Hardy brand is super sustainable.... but I love the graphics on these! (Though I did notice on the shoes website lots of talk about organic fabric, hemp, etc, I can't find that on the main site....?)

Shoe-of-the-day: TOMS

Pretty much anyone who has paid attention to eco-fashion in the past few years has heard of TOMS Shoes. They are well known for their "One for One" campaign which donates a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair you buy. It's another one of those companies where I adore their philosophy and think they're doing amazing things but I have a hard time liking the design of the products... however, I really like this new boot they have.

I think I would like this in either Olive or Rust, both are such good Fall/Winter colors!

Treehugger also has a good article highlighting the company complete w/ YouTube video stressing the importance of remembering those less fortunate during that gluttonous time known as the holidays.

Reminders: Redress Raleigh

Redress Raleigh 2010 updates!

We are still looking for some volunteers - email  us at greenfashionshow@gmail.com if you can help out, either before, during, or after the show. Thanks!

We are now seeking sponsors. Considering last year's show sold out all 100 seats and was filled to well over capacity, RR 2010 would be an awesome way to market your company and show support for the local community.

And finally, do you want to design for the show? Redress Raleigh Applications should be submitted by the end of this month so don't procrastinate! For the first stage we are looking for some inspirational images to show what your concept for the show is - whether this is a color, animal, abstract idea, etc, is up to you!

Shoe-of-the-day: Simple

It's been foggy and cold and rainy the past few days and I think these boots would be perfect to take off the chill - like a favorite chunky sweater. I honestly haven't been the biggest Simple shoes fan in the past few years. I love the company's eco-friendliness and wanting to 'do good' but I haven't always liked the styles. I've noticed recently though that they've introduced some new ones - including the above - that seem to put an emphasis on aesthetics as well as sustainability.

Green My Style: Top 10 Glam Party Heels

While browsing around on the web for various things I stumbled upon this great slideshow of Top 10 Party Heels from Green My Style and it features quite a few of my faves that I have posted on here before - Beyond Skin, Terra Plana, Hetty Rose, etc. And I'll have to check out the new ones I haven't heard of before!

Enjoy!

Shoe-of-the-day: Dior

For many of us the holiday season craziness is in full swing and we may be feeling a little StReSSeD! These shoes (Dior courtesy of Saks Fifth Ave) to me would be the perfect counterbalance to that - fun and sexy and not 'save the earth' at all - oh well! Happy freakin' holidays!

Shoe-of-the-day: Nina Dolcetti

I am obsessed with t-straps!

I thought I had posted this company before but it doesn't seem like it. I like the simplicity but beauty of these Nina Dolcetti designs. Again this is coming out of the UK (as a lot of eco-fashion does, argh!) but it's always fun to 'window shop'.

Shoe-of-the-day: Ecouterre and Terra Plana

I have been a fan of Terra Plana for a while now, but have recently come to adore the (relatively new) website Ecouterre which recently featured an awesome post on these new quilted booties. They have some of the best eco-fashion articles with pictures and such a killer variety compared to some of the others out there.

And side note for locals - Vert and Vogue  in Durham is the only place nearby that I know of carrying Terra Plana. If there are others I would love to know!
