Vegetarian Star

Rachel Zoe dispensed some good advice on nail polish when she recommended Ginger + Liz’s “Got My Groove Back,” metallic gold tone as one of her favorites.

“I like to paint this on before a big night out. I mean, it is just too good not to. Plus, bonus points to this eco-friendly beauty brand for creating polishes that are all organic, vegan-friendly and toxin-free.”

“Got My Groove Back” is just one of several cute and clever named polishes, along with “Can You Keep A Secret?” and “High Maintenance.”

You may one day ask your “Half Naked,” “Boy Toy” to “Tuck Me In” if you get “Hot and Bothered” but definitely “Not On The First Date.”

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood and her Secret Life of The American Teenager boyfriend Daren Kagasoff were spotted at Madeos in Beverly Hills during a romantic dinner night out.

If Jacqueline knew the secret life of the average fur factory farm, where animals are kept in cramped cages and skinned alive for their pelts, she might think twice before donning a real fur vest and opt for a Rachel Zoe faux vest instead.

Of course, she may already be wearing a fake…

What do you think?

Is Jacqueline faking it? Or is she fur real?

Rachel Zoe Faux Fur Vest

Although her assistant still thinks vegan shoes are made from mashed potatoes and cauliflower, Rachel Zoe at least knows fur vests should be made from synthetic material and not animal hide.

That’s why she’s designed these especially made for QVC faux fur vests.

These debuted at New York Fashion Week last month, and sell for under $130, featuring a wing collar and six hidden hook and eye closures.

You can view Rachel’s other faux fur designs at QVC.com.

Be sure to catch Rachel on QVC on Saturday, October 10 at 1PM ET for the Accessorizing With Rachel Zoe segment.

Girls are made from sugar and spice and everything nice, but what about vegan boots? How about potatoes and mashed cauliflower?

At least that’s what celebrity stylist Rachael Zoe’s assistant Brad said at a recent Stella McCartney fashion show the two were attending.

Fashionista landed at Stella’s Fall/Winter show and overheard lots of juicy info, including the fact that Rachael Zoe’s assistant needs to take lessons in vegan materials.

“What you don’t have is the only thing that kept the clothes from looking ten years older than Stella’s usually do – the full leg faux-leather boots. They had me gasping for air, prompted Rachel Zoe’s assistant Brad to say, “Bet they’re made from potatoes and mashed up cauliflower,” and will be every vegan’s dream answer to next season’s number one trend.”

But really, what are vegan boots made of?

Some leather-like boots are  made from PVC, which isn’t very kind to the environment, as it contains chlorine, which produces a chemical called dioxin during the manufacturing process that’s been linked to ailments, like asthma. To get around this, the best ethical designers use PU, or Polyurethane, a gentler synthetic.

There’s also polyester, which can be used in satin-looking materials.

The methods for producing vegan shoes are far less harmful to the planet than producing leather, which can’t degrade easily after being tanned. Plus, there’s all the land used to feed the livestock that could used for better purposes, like, plant crops. 

So there  you have it. A brief lesson on the origins of a vegan shoe. Yes, it would be nice if they were made of potatoes and cauliflower. Then all the toenail biters would have something to snack on.
