A Vegan Lifestyle Blog



Growing up my dad called me "Gina Beana Fagiolena," or "little bean" in Italian. He never could have guessed that I'd become a vegan, but the nickname suits me more now than ever. Read on to learn about all things vegan: fashion, books, food and more.

Earth Day Sale @ Arcadia

My favorite eco-chic Philly boutique Arcadia is hosting an Earth Day sale this Thursday, 4/22. Come celebrate Earth Day with exclusive deals on vintage clothing and accessories and extra sales on sale items.

Plus can't resist posting a picture of a fabulous Matt & Nat Deetron Bag from Arcadia's website:

The bucket-style bag and zipper detail makes it a stylish option for the season. Looks like lots of compartments to keep you organized, too!

NoLibs to the Rescue: Eco-Fashion Boutique Sells Vegan Shoes

Arcadia is Philly's eco-fashion boutique, and, even though Philly has no 100% vegan shoe stores, Aracadia sells my favorite Olsen Haus line of vegan shoes plus a number of other hot, vegan styles.

An incredible find given the fact that ordering shoes online never works out well. You have to order three different sizes hoping one fits, and regardless you always have to ship a few pairs back! Online shopping is not ideal, so I'm very happy to find vegan shoes sold by a Philly boutique.

Arcadia is all about promoting a sustainable lifestyle, not only through fashion but through travel as well. The team at Arcadia helps plan group and individual sustainable travel through away@Arcadia.

Sidenote: NoLibs is one of the best spots in Philly to find businesses oriented toward supporting our sustainable lifestyle. Whether through food, fashion or other products, NoLibs is Philly's vegan, eco-conscious hub. Not that there aren't great spots all over Philly, but NoLibs seems to concentrate that energy.

One place for all your eco-vegan-fashion needs

I began this blog because I wanted to make it easier for you...and for me, actually...to commit to a fully vegan lifestyle. On principle, I wanted this lifestyle to be fun and fashionable and lightyears beyond the hippie, crunchy vibe once associated with an animal-free way of life.

Nimli.com has made my search for vegan shoes and bags ridiculously easy.

Nimli is all about providing us with "natural, organic and green" lifestyle products, ranging from clothes, to housewares, to jewelry and skincare products. I love how you can choose a product based on certain attributes, and, of course, "vegan" is one of the attributes. Could there possibly be a better way to shop?

Nimli sells one of my favorite brand of vegan shoes, Cri de Coeur, which I blogged about in an earlier post. It is so easy to be vegan when a great designer makes fashionable shoes that, put simply, just look good. No clogs, no gross-looking clumpy shoes...just high-quality, high-fashion, super trendy. My latest obsession...
