The Natural Trend is so happening right now. However, earth-friendly, vegan shoes have gotten a bad rap. They bring images of crunchy granola Birkenstocks and Earth Shoes in bland neutral tones that are about as exciting as a package of plain rice cakes. However, with the popularity of the Prius, Method Cleaners and Whole Foods, natural and organic is anything but boring. Arti Upadhyay is a fabulously talented, lifelong vegetarian who does not use leather, fur, silk, wool, shells, pearls, or any other animal products in her designs. Her new vegan shoe line, Neuaura, features trendy shoes that are just as fashionable as they are animal-friendly. Going green never looked so good! nueaurashoes.com.
