Hot vegan high stiletto tattoo heels

vegan stiletto heels Pure rockabilly fetish heaven! Here’s another totally outrageous pair of super high heels from Penthouse shoes. I’ve written about another pair of their vegan high heels before and I’m really getting into this brand. I wonder if they’re called Penthouse cause their heels are so high?

Not all their shoes have tattoos on them, but for some reason I seem to be drawn to those that do. So here we have a cute “love & hate” tattoo design on the platform, with a sexy red mock crock and a cute little key charm dangling from the heel. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ve also got cherries, swallows and stars everywhere. These guys take no prisoners when it comes to loading up on the rockabilly imagery. Pure pin up class all the way, baby!

Yes, I know these aren’t particularly practical unless you were born in heels, but posing also works for me. They are just soooo cool.

You can get these hot hot heels from Amazon / Endless.

Amazing vegan cabaret sequin shoes

Sparkle sparkle! Yup, we’re back to Pleaser Bordello. I love this label and I’m going to go over each and every one of their shoes during this blog’s lifespan.

These lovely sequin heels come in a few different colour combinations (including a very hot red) and just look really really nice. I like the fact that they are all quite light colours, cause I’ve often found it’s a bit difficult to find shoes to go with my lighter vintage ensembles.

I don’t know what they’re like to wear. I’ve heard mixed reports about Pleaser shoes. They look like they’d be nice to dance in, but who knows. The one thing that’s definite is that they look pretty damn hot, so you’re at the very least going to look like you’re a part of a 50s musical chorus line.

They’re available on Amazon.

stylish vegan green pin up platforms

vegan green platforms Here’s a nice pair of stylish green vegan heels from Next. It’s a very nice shade of green, too.

I know how hard it is to get vegan shoes of a particular colour so I thought I’d include it here. The shape is very retro / pin up, too and these shoes also come in classic animal print or a nice shade of sexy dark pink.

These are all smart but funky. You could easily wear them to work if your job required heels, but they would also work with both modern and retro fashion.

All in all, not such a bad buy for £32, I must say and a good choice for spring (assuming spring ever comes).

You can get these from Next.

Vegan green glitter platform boots

Vegan green glitter platform boots Happy Christmas everyone! And look what the shoe Santa has brought you. These topical vegan platforms are glittery and green (with a bit of gold) and perfect for all you happy little elves to party in. They are so mad, I have been dreaming about them for weeks. In this case, I do think a picture is worth more than even a whole thousand words. I mean, how incredibly cool are these?

They are by Pleaser’s Bordello range (I told you to remember that name) and are aimed at the burlesque-minded with the lacing and all. They are, however, also a bit disco at the same time with all that glitter and huge chunky platform (5″). Oddly enough, they also remind me a bit of something a Mexican wrestler would wear. Maybe it’s the combination of the lacing and bright green glitter that has evoked this image. Obviously, Mexican wrestlers don’t wear huge platforms, but maybe they should? Either way, these are definitely showstopping shoes.

I’m not sure what I’d wear these with but I know I want them. They are the sort of shoes you build an outfit around if you don’t already have one ready. You could actually just wear a nondescript black outfit with them and still look absolutely wicked. No one would be looking at the rest of you.

These are available via Amazon.com.

Vegan high heel brogues

high heel brogues Another one to add to the list of vegan brogues and wingtip shoes – these lovely vegan high-heel oxfords from Beyond Skin. They’re called “serpent” and it’s not difficult to see why, cause they are totally femme fatale material – so superbly vampy.

The addition of a 4″ heel to the originally masculine oxford pattern is not new, but Beyond Skin do it with style and grace. These definitely top the list for a pin up bombshell vegan brogue.

These shoes are handmade in Spain to be hard-wearing and comfortable. They are certainly hot enough to be party shoes, but also smart enough to be very stylish work shoes. Check out the video of the shoes in action on the Beyond Skin site, very film noir (in a colourful, sunny sort of way).

I’m loving the extra femme fatale red contrasted with black in this colour combo, but you could also happily opt for more traditional grey and black or all-brown versions.

These hot vegan brogues are available from Beyond Skin.

Vegan black Bond girl-esque platforms

vegan black jewel heels OK, this little picture sucks. You’re going to have to click through to the actual page to see the good pictures and realise these shoes are actually rather nice. I don’t know why, but I’m kinda thinking “Bond girl”. Maybe it’s because it’s quite a classic design and the jewel bit, although plastic, looks pretty sophisticated in a somewhat 80s sort of way. They’d make nice pin up girl shoes.

These would go well with a little black dress (I mean, what doesn’t? But I think these would go particularly well) or if you’re young enough to buy into the whole 80s retro style, I’m sure there’s some sequinned and jewelled outfits you could throw together with these.

Available at Debenhams.
