United We Stand Plastic Bags We Ban!





 In honor of California's ban on plastic bags I am dedicating this Monday's Must Have List to the tote bag!

I found this chic zig zag tote on my New York Times collection app, from the cute shop Hansel from Basel it is the perfect tote for groceries, the beach and picnics in the park.

A few months ago I found the website Apolis and I fell completely in love with their Market Tote. Hand made by artisan in Bangladesh, Apolis main goal is to empower people through opportunity.Love it!  An added bonus is they also partner with other shops to customize the market tote. 

The FEED tote is an oldie but a goodie it helps to feed children around the world (even in the NYC!!) and they are constantly updating their bags. Hence my absolute lust for their very fashionable Guatemala Bag!

If you are feeling a little cheeky than $@#% Plastic is perfect tote for you!

Green Note When shopping for groceries with your new chic tote remember to be aware of the Dirty Dozen- fruits and veggies with the highest pesticide use aka:
apples
celery
strawberries
peaches
spinach
nectarines
grapes
sweet bell peppers
potatoes
blueberries
lettuce
kale/collard greens
BUY THEM ORGANIC :)
