Lucky Fall Bag Guide, The Cruelty Free Version, Day Three: Satchels

If it’s two things I can’t get enough of, it’s shoes and bags.  And apparently, I can’t get enough of Lucky Magazine either.  I recently took their Fall Shoe Guide and posted my own cruelty-free version, so I decided to go ahead and try something similar with their Fall Bag Guide.  The guide features the following styles:  Carryall (Canvas & “Leather”, Two Buckle, Printed), Evening (Sequined Shoulder, Hard Clutch, Beaded Pouch), Satchel (Duffel, Framed, Round Top), Travel (Rolling Suitcase, Weekender, Carry-On), Minibag (Saddlebag, Drawstring, Chain Strap).

Because a good pair of shoes deserves a good bag to go with it.

So far, we’ve looked at The Carryall, and Evening. Today is the Stachel, divided by Lucky into these categories:

1.  Duffel

Candy Satchel by Big Buddha, $80 at Endless HERE

BTWilight, $49.95 at Steve Madden HERE

Shiraleah Harper Zip Satchel, $34.99 at Target HERE

2.  Framed

Floral Jaquard Bar Detail Bag, $60.66 at ASOS HERE

Karen Red Vegan O, $250 at Matt & Nat HERE

3.  Round Top

Jetsetter Tan Handbag, $53 at Lulus HERE

We Bag to Differ, $89.99 at ModCloth HERE

Experience Vegan Couture For Yourself!

Well, if you’ve read this blog for awhile, you know how much I LOVE Vaute Couture and their line of vegan, fair-trade and eco-conscious coats and tee’s (including a men’s line).  I own a lovely royal blue pea coat from Vaute so I can attest to the quality and style of the garments.  Come to Spork Foods in WeHo on Monday from 6 to 8 pm and check out the collection for yourself (plus have a Spork cupcake…or two or three…) and meet designer Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart.  If you can’t make it on Monday, stop by the HSUS offices from 4 to 9 pm (by appointment only).  See you there!

Rebel With A Cause, Part II

If you’ve been reading my site, or checked out last week’s Massive Non-Leather Fall Boot Guide, you know I’m a big fan of wanna-be’s.  It’s really a pastime of mine actually, trying to find vegan alternatives that are just as sexy and fashionable as their gross counter parts.

After seeing a lot of magazines pointing to leather as a big 2010 trend (unfortunately) and a resurgence of leather jackets, back in March I posted a few cruelty free leather options that I’ve found.  As Fall approaches, I’ve seen some more so below are new additions + versions now onsale in limited sizes.

And… I think James Dean would be just as proud.

Marshall Cropped Biker Jacket, $100 at TOPSHOP HERE

Motorcycle Jacket, $98 at Victoria’s Secret HERE

Sparkle & Fade Faux Leather Aviator Jacket, $148 at Urban Outfitters HERE

Sparkle & Fade Faux Leather Hooded Bomber, $98 at Urban Outfitters HERE

Jacklyn Moto Jacket, $79.50 at Delias HERE

Kitty Hawk Jacket in Carmel, $56 at Lulus HERE

Women’s Tough Love Jacket by Insight, $51 at 80′s Purple HERE

Faux Leather by Mossimo Black, $34.99 at Target HERE

Gemini Black Faux Leather Jacket by BB Dakota, $67.50 at Alternative Outfitters HERE

Leather Moto Jacket, on sale for $46 at Threadscene HERE (only left in large)


Avant Lapel Leather Jacket, onsale for $80 at Nasty Gal HERE
