It’s the last Friday of your new year, ladies and fellas, and SheFinds found it’s time to… 

» Alternatively outfit yourself. “With their refusal to wear animal products (read: no leather, no silk, no cashmere), vegan fashionistas are usually left with few stylish footwear and accessory options. Those that do exist are typically spread over so many stores that it can take a whole day of walking just to assemble a simple outfit. Luckily, the folks at Alternative Outfitters are working hard to bridge that gap, by stocking their online shop with fashionable, high quality, non-leather and cruelty-free products. The site features stylish footwear, like the smoking Brown Kitten Heel Tweed Vegan Pumps.”

» Be a bag lady. “I have a new obsession: T-Bag’s flirty feminine dresses. Now, I know that not all of us can look like the model girls in the magazine pictures, but these designs sure make it feel possible. My favorite is the T-Bags Long Printed Dress in Brown that is an updated version of a dress my mom wore in the 70s.”

»  Clean up your cleanser. “With so many extra’s in skincare and makeup products today, it’s hard to find something without perfume, harmful dyes, etc.  However, those with sensitive skin might find what they are looking for in Haba Labs Skincare, a 24-year-old Japanese company that’s only opened up stateside in 2005.”

»  Be transparent. “Now, thanks to Karl Lagerfeld, the Travel Safety Administration and one transparent trend, everyone can see your business.  Word has it Saks Fifth Avenue will start stocking an $895 clear Chanel tote… Can’t wait to let the world see everything you’re carrying? Lambertson Truex’s $445 clear and silver metallic tote is available.” 

» Ditch your Uggs for Earth Montage Comfort Casual Boots. “For me, the search for the perfect pair of winter boots has been more epic than the Lord of the Rings trilogy.  I just can’t seem to find the right pair of attractive, warm, wearable boots to get me through the icy months. Well, I think I found my answer in these Earth boots.”
