Lunchbags that will make any Fashionista jealous! (A giveaway!)

I am a handbag snob. Plain and simple. I tend to have a ton of handbags, each one more fabulous than the next. I will admit that the only time I ever brought my own lunch to work with me, it was in a cutesey bag. I don’t do the brown paper thing. I also don’t do the icky bulky lunch tote thing. So, when my friend Lori from A Cowboys Wife and My Wooden Spoon introduced me to these fabulous lunchbags by Elle, I was oh-so-very-excited. I mean c’mon. Who would have ever thought you’d hear “lunchbag” and “Elle” in the same sentence?

I have the ELLE Holly Lunch Bag in Houndstooth and I love it.  The outside is uber fashionista-friendly, with the inside being insulated and lined – perfect for keeping lunches cool.  It even has two outside pockets that are also lined and insulated — I’m thinking cheese, veggies, or utensils can go there!  Seriously, though, would you ever guess that this is a lunchbag?  Exactly!  You know, I used to be a French teacher at an all-girls school, and I think if I had been seen on campus with this awesome bag and the girls had found out it was actually a lunch bag — well, lets just say I see the potential for a major trend to start!

There are lots of other great styles of lunchbags from Elle — just check out the widget above to see some of the amazing choices.  They are really reasonably priced, too at around $30 each — not to mention they are a much better choice when it comes to being environmentially responsible!

Win it!  I have three (yes, three!!) of these awesome bags to giveaway!  The first one is the ELLE Kate Lunch Bag in Red, seen here:

The second one is the ELLE Holly Lunch Bag – Houndstooth (like the one I own!!) and the third is the ELLE Jenn Lunch Bag in Black, pictured below!

Flip and Tumble for Flip and Tumble! (Review and Giveaway!)

I have every intention to be a do-good, eco-chic, recycling, re-useable grocery bagging girl, but the hardest part about it is, without fail, remembering to bring the darn bags WITH me to the store.  I can’t tell you how many times I have been so excited to remember to bring my reusable bags, but then I forget them in the car, at home, on the floor, etc.  So what good does it do if I forget to bring the bag in the first place?

Flip and Tumble has solved that problem!  Their bags roll up or scrunch up nice and small so that they can just live in your purse or car, and they don’t take up too much room, but they are there when you need them!  This way, it solves the problem of “remembering” to bring the bags with you!

Flip and Tumble offers two different styles of bags, the original 24/7 bag and their new Loopt Bag.  Each one folds or scrunches up in about 5 seconds flat, making them a hit in my book!  Plus, when you do unroll them, they are unbelieveably roomy — I fit 2 to 3 times the amount of groceries in one of them as I do in a regular plastic grocery bag!

Win it! You can win your very own Loopt or 24/7 bag from Flip and Tumble!  To enter, follow the easy-peasy rules below!
