FLAT OUT FABULOUS
Our Top 10 Eco Friendly, Socially Conscious and Vegan Shoes of the Flat Variety
by Bonny Osterhage
Shoes might be the most perfect item of clothing. They always fit…Even on your “fat” days, they can completely change the look of that same old outfit and just look what they did for Cinderella! And while we eagerly collect all shapes and styles, this is the time of year that we tend to turn to flats. The perfect answer to that “in-between” boots and sandals time of year, flats are casual enough to wear with jeans, while still maintaining an air of elegance with skirts and dresses. Check out our top ten eco friendly fashion favorites. We flat out love them!
SPRING ’09 IS A “FIESTA” AT HORNY TOAD…SALUD!

Get ready to “Samba” because 68% of the new spring ’09 collection from active lifestyle brand Horny Toad uses sustainable fibers, up from 46% a year ago. We love companies that continue to move in the right eco fashion direction! And, the party is ON with the highly colorful, fun spring styles, inspired by the annual “Fiesta” celebration in Santa Barbara, CA, where the Toad is headquartered. Bring on the shot of organic tequila and a lime! Olé! Oh…and “Samba” is the name of one of its brand new sustainable fabrics.
SO HOT!
Can you tell we’re obsessed with yellow for spring?! Last week, it was a yellow handbag and this week it is a very cool, all natural açai seed bracelet, treated with natural dyes and accented with carved and polished coconut. The fair trade bracelet is hand crafted by indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest. Wear it with khaki! $28.50 at www.onevillagegifts.com
