Elizabeth and James Shoes: Fall 2010 Collection
The Elizabeth and James Fall 2010 Shoe Collection has arrived at online shoe retailers and the styles are even better than last Fall. This collection just seems to keep getting better and better! Among the styles, you will find soft suede leathers in neutral hues and lots of platform, open toe, and menswear-inspired designs.
What I like most about this collection is how casual, yet refined, the many of the styles are. They are not the kinds of shoes you will invest in and then only wear a few times during the season. These are styles that you will find yourself wearing over and over again this Fall and Winter
Here are some of the latest styles just out…

The Elizabeth and James Brand was launched in 2007 by designing duo sisters, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, and has been highly successful. Subsequent to this, their footwear collection (a collaboration with Steve Madden) was launched in 2009. The Elizabeth and James company has become recognized as a contemporary lifestyle brand that includes apparel, shoes, jewelry, and soon, they will launch a collection of sunglasses. A couple of styles of sunglasses will be released this Fall, but the full sunglasses collection is set to launch in Spring 2011.
The fashion business is not an easy business to succeed in, but the Olsen sisters are hardworking and obviously passionate about fashion and this certainly shows in their designs year after year. As celebrities when they were just toddlers through to their twenties, it’s been fun to watch how their fashion has evolved as they matured- especially from their late teens to now. It’s something I think we can all relate to as our taste in fashion is always changing. I need only look back at pictures of myself as recently as 5 years ago to see changes from my current style of today.

Stylish, Eco-Friendly Shoes
For Earth Day, I’d like to recognize some great shoe brands that have shown that you don’t have to sacrifice style if you want to wear shoes that are eco-friendly and socially-responsible. In the past, “eco-friendly” shoes have gotten a reputation of being plain and rather boring. Today, however, the growing awareness of the need for environmentally friendly footwear has also led to wider variety of designs and styles to choose from in recently years.
Here are just a few notable eco-friendly shoe brands that have impressive designs.

OlsenHaus is a 100% vegan shoe brand, which means they use no leather, fur, wool or silk. Shoe materials include ultra suede, organic cotton, canvas, nylon, velvet, linen, and cork. The use of these kinds of material contribute to far less pollution and, since they do not use leather, they utilize only a fraction of the energy it takes to process or tan leather. Their shoes are made in Central America where there factories are monitored for fair trade practices, fair wages and proper facilities.
