A Plastic Bag Ban? Time to Shop in Style!

Some cities are opting to either ban plastic grocery bags altogether or charge as much as .25cents a bag !(and not just in the US)
I think it’s a great idea, though I do reuse them and there are many recycling programs. A ban can also stop pollution at its source, the factories. By discouraging people to use plastic bags, companies will in turn make less of them. This will probably effect jobs but maybe it’ll force large companies to come up with more earth friendly alternatives in order to survive. This is a perfect time really, Fashion totes and shopping bags are definitely in style – as living green becomes more mainstream.
Here are some great styles I found just poking around a few places, the options are endless!!

Designer Bio: Alex and Ani
Jewelry line Alex and Ani (named after creator/designer Carolyn Rafaelian’s daughters) was founded on two guiding concepts: 1. Jewelry should not only adorn the wearer’s body, it should also empower by connecting her to a mystical, spiritual narrative. 2. Every woman should have a perfect jewelry fit. The brand achieves this through sacred symbols and stones bedecking their offerings, and the signature expandable collection features an adjustable sliding closure mechanism, so size is never an issue.

Lovely little “war-bride gone independent working woman” dresses are a sure hit for that sexy movie quality german look. Here are some random dresses, jackets and skirts I found that fit this look to a T.
