Seeing Green

Unless you have been living under a rock, then you are well aware that green is so the new black. Fortunately, it's now so hip to be green that the selection of environmentally conscious apparel and accessories grows daily.

Personally, I love my Whole Foods' shoppers, made from 80-100% recycled material. These sturdy little bags are available for just $1 a pop and can be used to carry groceries and just about anything else your little heart desires. However, while utilitarian and brightly colored with assorted produce graphics, they do leave a little something to be desired in the fashion department---which is why I am thrilled with Dogeared's new collection of eco-friendly totes.

Now you can save the planet while looking cute--what else could a green girl ask for? Dogeared's totes are made of natural cotton canvas, silk-screened with varying designs and slogans. As an added bonus, they come wrapped in recycled brown paper (green from start to finish). My favorites are the "Wish Big" and the "White Non Trash Bag," but there are dozens more to choose from, each gently priced at $27 so that they are eco-friendly and wallet-friendly.

So what have you got to lose? Join the fight against evil plastic bags and add earth-saver to your list of fashionista qualifications. So hot.
