Do I smell a new home? I may be an older dog, but I still have a lot of spunk and enjoy long walks. The park is my favorite! I can sometimes be bossy around other dogs, I would do best without other dogs in the household. Visit me and see how good I am at snuggling!

Lucky Magazine Fall Shoe Guide: The Cruelty Free Version
As you know, I’m all about shoes. Following on the heels of my Massive Fall Boot Guide (get it, “heels”? LMAO!), I took on the mission of publishing my own cruelty-free version of the Lucky Magazine‘s Fall Shoe Guide.
Back in March, I took their spring shoe guide, tracked down leather-free alternatives of all the mentioned styles, and compiled them into one handy group of posts over the course of a week. It featured platform mary janes, slingback heels, pointy-toe flats, two-strap flat sandals, cork-soled platforms, and two-tone oxfords.
With the arrival of the Fall version to my mailbox, I embarked on the journey of doing the same thing. The Fall guide covers heeled booties, party pumps, girly flats, rugged boots, work heels, tall boots, men’s wear flats, chunky ankle boots, and strap heels.
Here’s a recap in case you missed my guide. Enjoy!
Day 1: Heeled Booties
Day 2: Party Pumps
Day 3: Girly Flats
Day 4: Rugged Boots
Day 5: Work Heels
Day 6: Tall Boots
Day 7: Menswear Flats
Day 8: Chunky Ankle Boots
Day 9: Strap Heels

Week 2 of Lucky Magazine Shoe Week continues with Menswear Flats.

Since last week I’ve been doing the same for this season’s guide. So far I’ve posted vegan-friendly alternatives for Lucky’s picks: Heeled Booties, Party Pumps, Girly Flats, Rugged Boots, Work Heels, and Tall Heels.
