I never head to the grocery store without my reusable shopping bags, but awhile ago a thought stuck in my mind: I’m bringing my reusable shopping bags to avoid using paper or plastic, but what about all those plastic produce bags? For the last few years my answer was to just not use bags for them… but let’s be honest, it’s annoying to have produce loose getting all smashed up. And it’s nearly impossible if you buy from the bulk bins to avoid plastic! I might be a little behind on this item, but heeellloooo genius reusable produce bags! Why aren’t these on the shelves of every grocery store in the nation?? I found this neat set at Crate & Barrel. I highly recommend you pick up some of these! and better yet, sew your own! Can’t be too hard, just a simple drawstring bag.
And here I am at GreenFest NYC using the bags in my Vegan Pantry presentation:
Spring is here and here are my absolute favorite picks for this seasons Eco-Fashion!
Clockwise from upper left:
Rainbow Dress- Eva Franco
Arizona Queen Dress- Gretchen Jones (You remember her from when she won Project Runway)
Shaggy Deer Big Tote Falabella- Stella McCartney
Alexander Organi Cotton Shirtdress- Avery by Wang
Melissa Patchuli- Melissa Shoes (ps these shoes are completely recyclable! Just drop them in the recycling bin when you are done with them! How cool is that?) They can be found at my favorite store Bella Beach in Manhattan Beach, CA
Crux Dress- Ecoskin
Happy Spring!

Ok, I truly am obsessed with these bags! I carry mine everyday. Namaste makes gorgeous, vegan (yes that is vegan leather!) handbags and accessories. Their bags are made from “PVC-free animal friendly faux leather”. It’s hard to describe the quality of the material unless you feel it, but it’s the closest thing to leather I’ve ever felt. It’s high quality and super soft. Every time I carry one in public I swear to you I get stopped by at least one person who wants to know where I got it.
Clockwise from top left:
Buddy Cases (great for keeping all your small stuff) $20.00, The Mini Messenger Bag (perfect for your laptop) $85.00, The Monroe Bag (this bag is my favorite for anything and fits everything!) $85.00, Mini Cozy (fits your crochet hooks, how cute is that? and they also have one that fits your knitting needles!) $10.50, The Mini Clutch (I have to order this one!) $45.00, and The Laguna (great travel bag and perfect for my camera) $79.00
You can order these bags online on Namasteinc.com or you can search here for a store near you. Honestly, I’m so happy to have these bags in my life. Guess what all my friends are getting for their Birthday’s this year!
PS yes, that’s me posing with my mini messenger bag, my monroe bag and my laguna bag that the fine folks at Namaste were kind enough to send me
