Last year, Free People introduced a collection of vegan leather apparel, which we were mildly obsessed with. This year, however, Free People is expanding to include vegan leather shoes and to say we are thrilled would be an understatement. The collection has a little something for everyone. For instance, for the upcoming summer, you will find slip-on sandals, while for the fall/winter season you will find fringed booties and more. There are six styles in total, so you are sure to find something you love. But best of all, you don’t have to be a vegan to get in on the action—these shoes are must-haves for everyone! Check them out at FreePeople.com now. Prices start at $110.

Jessica Alba graces the cover of Marie Claire’s June 2012 issue wearing a lace-up Versus dress. Inside, Jessica discusses being sexy and how being a mom and growing older has changed her outlook.
On being sexy: “I like to get positive attention. But if I have a choice between someone noticing in a negative way what I’m wearing and going, What was she thinking? or someone not noticing what I’m wearing, I would rather not make a statement at all and just have a good conversation instead.”
On her changed outlook: “Now that I’m older, I’ve learned how to own it, but I’m still not very overt. There are some women who dress for men. I dress for myself. It took me some time to get here. Being a mom and feeling grown-up have helped. Now if I’m going to wear something short, it has to have a high neck or a little sci-fi toughness to it, an edge.”

On her upbringing: “You can learn so much from bad things. I feel boring. I feel like, Why is everything so easy for me? I can’t wait for something crazy to f—ing happen to me. Just life. I want someone to f— me over! Do you know what I mean?”
On what it’s like to see herself on screen: “Laurence Olivier was asked, ‘Actors, what’s the impulse? Why?’ And he was just like, ‘Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me …’ That was his answer. But at the same time it’s like, ‘Nooo, don’t look at me. Look at some version that I’m going to present to you. Let me control it.’”
