vegan leather – Vegan & Cruelty Free {VCF}

Spring fashion these days is a toss-up. One day you’re grabbing your rain jacket and galoshes and the next you’re sweating up a storm wondering if it’s kosher to take a walk around the park in your sports bra and shorts. Why global warming, why?! Anyway, because of the fickle weather, Spring fashion can be tricky, especially this time of year, which is why I put together one of my favorite things: #lifehacks.

Organic Cotton Leggings and Pants

Come spring and summer, you want to be covered enough to feel warm just in case that nice cool spring breeze comes through. So let out your inner ballerina and opt for organic cotton leggings (make sure they pass the squat test) that tie around your ankles or get ones that have cut-outs anywhere on your legs to help with air flow, like these from Alo Yoga. According to Peaceful Dumpling, “Alo is committed to eco-friendly sourcing and production practices, right down to their solar powered offices in LA. Their colorful, modern tank tops are perfect for yoga, pilates, spinning, fitness classes, or running.”

Open Back and Tulip Back Tops

I’m personally not a fan of tank tops and I’m always cold (so hardpass), and the best medium for me to stay warm without compromising all of my skin to the sunshine is through tulip tops or open back tops! You can find these most anywhere, and they’re flowy, cute and Oh so Springy! Pair these with some black leggings, and a cute lace back bra that’s visible in the back and VOILA. S’cute.

Accessorize, Accessorize, ACCESSORIZE

…did I say accessorize? If you’re not a fan of going all out spring color, you can still wear all black, white, gray or what have you and have your pop of color live in your accessories. Consider vegan mustard color flats or vegan sneakers for those super casual days. Let your hair down or put it in a pony, throw on a baseball cap, some leggings, and a cute top…and dang girl, fashionista, much?

As a former designer obsessed fashionista, the hardest part about going vegan was getting rid of my leather luxury goods. Although my LV Neverfull was my pride and joy and most practical luxury purchase to date, I started to feel guilty ever time I used it. “It’s only a bag,” but also, “it’s leather…” would rack my brain over and over again. So I decided to just put it to an end, and find a replacement tote that I would love just enough to replaced my once beloved LV. After months of research and failed purchases…enter Overbrooke.

Now my favorite color is blush pink, but let me tell you that it’s not just the gorg color of this Overbrooke Reversible Tote Bag that you’ll go gaga over. It’s the material. It would fool even a cow. It’s by far, THE softest vegan leather I’ve ever felt. I mean, just look at how it slouches like a dream.

I did a lot of research and went through a lot of purses before I found this one. It’s just the perfect size for me. For a comparison to the LV Neverfull, be sure to watch my YouTube haul where I compare the two.
