She’s going to take you through a kind fashion path… With every season, comes a list of resolutions and for those of you who love fashion and decide to take the vegan road, I have the answer for you. Stress no more! I have some awesome brands that can provide you with the hottest accessories and clothes that are cruelty-free and as chic as can be. Let’s start with Vaute Couture; this amazinVaute_Jacket_MariaOnPointg clothing brand was the first 100% animal free store to ever show at New York Fashion Week and has affordable prices if you take into account the quality of each item. Vaute Couture not only does cruelty-free clothing, but they have a wide variety of designs to fit different body types. Also, as if Vaute couture wasn’t amazing already, they manufacture everything in New York City with organic materials only. Take an extra $75 off a super warm VAUTE coat with code STAYWARM. Now in case you want vegan accessories too or if you are looking for any kind of bags, and wallets Matt&Natt is the Matt&Natt_bag_MariaOnPoint_3place for you. No animals were hurt in the process of making these accessories and it is 100% vegan. Matt&Natt is dedicated to link their materials to nature; this fashion house uses materials such as recycled nylon, cork, cardboard and rubber.

Faux leather leggings and knee-high boots have become my go-to outfit this season. These leggings are very popular in my closet. I love pairing my faux leather leggings, because who can’t afford real leather leggings right?, with fitted blazers, tweed jackets, chunky sweater and knee-high boots for the perfect winter look.
