I haven’t shared any vintage fashion finds lately, so I guess it’s time to head over to Etsy…
Lady Grunge Vintique has a Vintage Gauze White Mexican Tent Dress for $45. Ooh, this looks fresh, pretty, and comfy – just what I’m looking for in a Summer dress. It doesn’t list a size or year, so if you want the specifics, you can contact the seller. Lovely dress, though, and it says that is in “excellent” condition.
I know that people usually equate shoulder pads and neon colors with ’80s fashion, but this Floral Mini reminds me of the sweeter side of …read more

A good pair of sandals to last you all summer isn’t an easy request.
These sandals from Begoodesigns are great. They’re handmade from recycled leather and the designs they have come up with are gorgeous.
This pair reminds me of scales somehow, i can only imagine that the leather is soft and that these sandals are comfy enough to wear every day until Labor Day.
$74

Melissa Sin Sandals

Melissa Sandals kind of remind me of jellies. They’re made of recycled plastic and you can recycle them after they’ve done good for you.
This t-strap sandal is a good take on all the sandals this summer, and I really like the gold color.
I’m not sure how comfortable an all-plastic sandal would be, however. I don’t recall jellies being all that comfy, but the plastic Melissa uses is different, so it may be perfect.
$35

Green Gladiator Sandals

If you’ve read this blog recently, you know how much I love the gladiator sandal trend. (I’m lame and fickle like that when it comes to fashion). Luckily, Steve Madden has come out with an affordable vegan style!
Alternative Outfitters suggests pairing it with a draped white dress. But these puppies can be paired with anything. Romantic, urban, you name it.
They are available in black or brown and can be yours for $47.95.

Turn Your Jeans Into Sandals
If you’re like me, you wear your jeans into the ground. You get holes in random places, and they become impossible to wash and embarrassing to wear out in public. Yet, try as you might, you can’t bear to throw them away.
Luckily, Recycle Your Jeans has recognized this problem and decided to do something about it. This UK-only service (sorry Yanks and Canucks and everyone else on the wrong side of the pond!) takes your old jeans and turns them into cute summer sandals.
These sandals aren’t shoddy either. Recycle Your Jean’s parent company, Softwalker Limited, is a master of all …read more
