xanadu or bust

Posted in on your person, tagged on April 30, 2010 | 5 Comments »

I am a child of the 70s. If nothing else, that means I wish I could wear roller skates all the time. Sadly, I left my skates behind when we moved from New York—five years ago. Enough is enough, I want new skates! But if you thought nonleather shoes were tough to find, try skates. There’s [...]

faux

Posted in on your person, tagged on December 18, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I’ve been noticing little bits and pieces online about fur. It’s popping back up in fashion, it’s being labeled eco-friendly, and it’s looked upon in a nostalgic light, part of the back-to-basics, what-would-grandma-do way. F that S. Even back when wee Michele was eating Happy Meals, I knew fur was gross and wrong. My mother [...]

the girl with two red shoes

I finally got new shoes…and I like ‘em! After years of buying ill-fitting men’s shoes because they were the only ones I could stomach, I found these Ultimate 81 Vegans on Onlineshoes. Yes, they are red, white, and blue. And yes, it took a few days to build up the courage to go outside with [...]

bleating hearts

I just received my order from Bleating Hearts Soap & Candle Co., a friend’s Etsy store. Everything is so pretty and yummy-smelling. Pictured above are French clay-tea tree oil soap, candy cane peppermint soap, cranberry bliss soap, and fresh spruce and black amber soy candles in coffee mugs. They all came lovingly wrapped and ready [...]

i heart gama-go

Posted in on your person on November 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I’ve had my wallet since New York…at least six years. It still works but I’ll be the first to admit it looks like hell. So when we needed to put together a Gama-Go order for my brother-in-law’s birthday, we decided to throw some wallets on there. Tom’s (on the left) was crazy on sale. Mine wasn’t…but it’s [...]

Yesterday was my first day of being officially off the job. Because it was my own doing, I left with no parting gifts other than unused vacation pay. So what did I do on day one? A facial mask and a lunch date, of course. The lunch date (I picked up Tom for lunch at [...]

I just got an order from Vegan Essentials (had another 10%-off newsletter so I stocked up on dry cat food and tried some new things, including soy curls, so stay tuned) and thought I’d share Merry Hempsters with y’all. They’re located in Eugene, Oregon, and have a ton of vegan hemp products. Tom’s been using [...]

umweltfreundliches bambus

Posted in on your person on November 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

That means “eco-friendly bamboo,” which is what these gloves are. Moving from L.A. meant I was going to be facing some sort of real winter, so the quest for a decent pair of gloves was on. Avoiding wool is tough when you’re looking for a quality knitted glove. Those $3 magic-stretch things just won’t do [...]

rushing to judgment

Posted in eatin' out/in, on your person, tagged , on August 30, 2008 | 4 Comments »

After one day, I’m pretty sure I hate these shoes. It was either find a pair of brown shoes really fast or recycle my black pants again and again and again this week. So I found these Mudd shoes. I don’t know that the adhesive is vegan, but the uppers are all man-made material. I [...]

shoe shoppin’

Posted in on your person, tagged on August 15, 2008 | 7 Comments »

Tom just scored some new shoes, direct from the vegan link on the Vans site. I don’t know if you can tell, but the light bits are actually gray. He’s super happy with them after having some unsatisfactory experiences with Macbeth and IPATH (probably not the shoes’ fault—he’s got uneven feet). Skate shoes aren’t easy to begin with, let alone [...]
