One of my closet essentials is a pair of tall riding boots, and when I went vegan, I gave away and sold all my pairs since they were leather.  Since then, I've been hunting for the perfect pair of animal-free boots, and I'll admit, it was really hard to find a pair that wasn't cheaply made in China or floppy and unstructured.  But my hunt is over now!

These boots are by Will's London, a wonderful certified vegan footwear company.  Their products are ethically produced with both the animals and the workers in mind, using high-quality vegan leathers and fair production in Portugal.  I am so in love with my new boots- they are comfortable, the vegan leather is strong and beautiful, and they have the perfect shape and structure that looks streamlined and slim on the legs.  

Here's a photo from earlier this week wearing them- I just wanted to include it to show the boots against a lighter background.  They really are gorgeous!



This outfit is actually kind of a melange of all my closet essentials- my favorite beige trench coat from UNIQLO, my favorite jeans, a striped breton layered over a plaid flannel, and a neutral crossbody.  I've already talked about how much I love 88 Handbags, and this bag is from their new summer collection!  It comes in a bunch of other colors, and I almost had a hard time choosing!  I love the structured shape and saffiano textured vegan leather.
