Rebagz Cinchy Tote GALAXY: Eco Friendly Wearable Art

I've always liked the recycled rice sacks made into totes, but the Rebagz Cinchy Tote takes it to new heights.  Look at this cool GALAXY Cinchy Tote.  This is a bag with multiple uses, the first being to look fabulous.  It's the perfect light weight bag for Summer.

This tote is large and perfect for a weekend getaway bag.  I can see this functioning as a mommy bag, at the Farmer's Market, college, at work, shopping, or on the plane for in-flight needs.  It will hold a ton of stuff such as your lunch, clothing, electronic goodies (though it's not padded, there is an inner pocket perfect for a cell phone), wallet, paperback or magazines...pretty much anything and everything. 

Rebagz is an award winning, good cause donating promoter of sustainable fashion.  Their fabulous bags are made with recycled materials using fair labor practices.  With a portion of the proceeds going to organizations like the Breast Cancer Emergency Fund, Greenpeace, and the Kind Campaign, it's an indulgence you can feel good about.

I love that you can be wearing jeans and a tee shirt and add one of these bags and just like that, you're stylin'.  This stuff is functional eye candy and I highly recommend having a look at their website.  Find them HERE.

Blue Fish: Fabulous Organic Clothing Perfect for Summer

The energy that creates beauty is eternal.  Blue Fish began as a dream.  A desire to dress individually and expressively.  Blue Fish endeavors to reach out, to inspire, and to connect people through the philosophy which is expressed and shared through the clothes we make."  --Jennifer Barclay

I'm always on the lookout for fashionable, quality organic clothes.  Blue Fish clothing really stands out as being very original and it's current collection is perfect for summer with its loose fitting styles and light weight eco friendly fabric.

Blue Fish was born years ago, when founder Jennifer Barclay began making clothes in her parents' garage.  Her company really took off in 1986, and has been completely organic since 1995, apt for a designer who draws much of her inspiration from the natural world.
The fabric is soft and durable, the colors are saturated and earthy and the designs are unique.  Check out the Blooming Tunic.  It's long enough to be worn alone as a dress, or works great with leggings or pants such as the Petaloon It's perfect for wearing to the Farmers' Market on a sunny day with a big sun hat, puttering around the garden, or out to dinner.  

Clothing should be as comfortable as it is beautiful and Blue Fish gets this totally.  These are not clothes you are in a hurry to change out of when you get home--you could sleep in them they are so comfy.  The clothes coordinate, so with a few pieces you have many outfit options.  I also love the layered look, and Blue Fish clothes are meant to layer and combine to fit many different moods and looks.

Those with a creative sipirit will appreciate the originality of these clothes.  Most offer the option of a hand stamped design and while I prefer plain, I think many will enjoy the whimsey of the interesting symbols and designs of the stamps as wearable art.  Everything is made locally in the US by artisans and moms.  Find them HERE.
