Cute Double Strap Scalloped Mary Janes at Plasticland

p90521912

Check out these adorable cheapies: just $49.00!  Not leather, so they might not be the best for swing dancing, but damn cute for strutting about in (and that makes them vegan shoes!). Website says “made of a slightly distressed (crinkly) black and taupe leather-look vinyl, they feature rounded toes, unique easy-to-use hook-on double straps, and thick stacked wood 2 1/2″ heels. Fit true to size, medium width.”

Get them here: www.shopplasticland.com

Actually, they have a bunch of cute shoes that Swing Fashionistas might like, all for less than $50:

Men’s Vintage Looks in The Aviator (2004)

theaviator

Leonardo Di Caprio (playing Howard Hughes), Jude Law (playing Errol Flynn), John C. Reilley and Alec Baldwin all get the vintage treatment in The Aviator. Slicked hair, red carpet-worthy tuxedos, 1940s suits and of course, plenty of leather aviator jackets.
