Go Green -- Fashion Forward, of Course!

Here is a faboo little alternative to the overused plastic zipper bag

- A reusable velcro pouch that I bought from nstitches4u

(in my beloved 'Nouveu Trees' print by Amy Butler, Of course!)

There are so many times that we may thoughtlessly use a plastic ziploc bag when we can easily use one of these reusable alternatives, and in cute prints like these--who wouldn't want one? (For messy items I opt for another container.)

Bag Frenzy 2009




This year, I have been totally crazy over the vast array of bags on Etsy. I'm not sure what has triggered the obsession, but I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I don't have a clue how to sew bags. Perhaps I am fascinated with getting things I don't actually make myself!

In any case here is a fun new purchase I made from ArtbyJess!

These two bags are adorable and perfect for carrying everyday essentials like your hair brush, lotion, cosmetics brushes, and it is wide on the bottom so it stands alone. This comes in handy for carrying mineral makeup without making this little pouch look bulky.

As you'll see in upcoming posts, I am obsessed with these prints by Amy Butler and Heather Ross, respectively.
