Vintage-Inspired Shoe on Zappos!

Next month, I am going to Boca Raton, Florida to visit the husband's family and to celebrate Thanksgiving. Since the weather is going to be warm and tropical (yeah!), I have been trying to find a nice pair of 40s-looking wedges to pair with my wardrobe. I love the Re-Mix wedges but they are expensive! I love the "Veranda" wedges but shelling out $176.00 USD is a bit much for me right now. The husband and I are trying to save our money for our big Colorado ski trip this coming season.

Anyway, today I was continuing my search for a pair of wedges and I found these shoes (pictured above) on Zappos.com.  I know they are not wedges but these lovelies deserve some notice! Therefore, I wanted to share them with you all!

These platforms are made by Madden Girl and they are on sale right now for $44.96 USD. The SKU # is 7680331. I love the styling and I also like the fact they are leather free! I am a pescatarian and I try to always make an effort to buy non-animal skin shoes and accessories. If I do buy leather, it is vintage.

I think these shoes would go nicely with dresses and skirts! All I need is a rayon dress, a snood, these shoes, and my look is done!

However, I will refrain from these beauties for now. I need a new pair of wedges badly! I just wish I was a dang millionaire because they are too many things I want to buy!

  1. Those are really cute. I just bought some red "rocket-dog" shoes at Macy's for $50, a very 40's inspired pump. Also pretty comfy!

  4. Kim,

    I love Rocket Dog shoes! I have a pair of winter boots from them that I adore! I saw a pair of Rocket Dog wedges on the Trashy Diva site that look very 40s! They would have been perfect for summer!

    Hey, Richmond gal! I love vintage shoes and they are the only leather-made types I will buy! I love the shoes by re-mix but they use leather. I would love to find a repro company that is animal-safe!

  9. Nice shoes! I do know that Rocket Originals Shoes in the UK are looking into getting some non-leather shoes/wedges made as they often get asked for them but as yet they don't have any.

  14. Melzaelf,

    I have so many favorites on Etsy! I am so tempted to buy everything but like I said, I need to at least try to be good! January is coming fast and I need to save up for my big two-week ski trip!
