			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">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&#8217;t do the brown paper thing.  I also don&#8217;t do the icky bulky lunch tote thing.  So, when my friend Lori from <a href="http://www.acowboyswife.com" target="_blank">A Cowboys Wife</a> and <a href="http://www.mywoodenspoon.com">My Wooden Spoon</a> introduced me to these fabulous lunchbags by Elle, I was oh-so-very-excited.  I mean c&#8217;mon. Who would have ever thought you&#8217;d hear &#8220;lunchbag&#8221; and &#8220;Elle&#8221; in the same sentence?</p>

<p>I have the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EN530E?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=chishochi-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001EN530E">ELLE Holly Lunch Bag in Houndstooth</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=chishochi-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001EN530E" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> and I love it.  The outside is uber fashionista-friendly, with the inside being insulated and lined &#8211; perfect for keeping lunches cool.  It even has two outside pockets that are also lined and insulated &#8212; I&#8217;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 &#8212; well, lets just say I see the potential for a major trend to start!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.chicshopperchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/picture-88.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-872" title="Elle Holly Lunch Bag Houndstooth" src="http://www.chicshopperchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/picture-88.png" alt="" width="195" height="250" /></a><br />
There are lots of other great styles of lunchbags from Elle &#8212; just check out the widget above to see some of the amazing choices.  They are really reasonably priced, too at around $30 each &#8212; not to mention they are a much better choice when it comes to being environmentially responsible!</p>
<p>Win it!  I have three (yes, three!!) of these awesome bags to giveaway!  The first one is the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ERSIC0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=chishochi-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001ERSIC0">ELLE Kate Lunch Bag in Red</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=chishochi-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001ERSIC0" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />, seen here:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.chicshopperchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/picture-36.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-709" title="reuseable grocery bags" src="http://www.chicshopperchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/picture-36-281x300.png" alt="" width="152" height="165" /></a></p>
<p>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&#8217;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?<br />
<span id="more-708"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flipandtumble.com" target="_blank">Flip and Tumble</a> 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&#8217;t take up too much room, but they are there when you need them!  This way, it solves the problem of &#8220;remembering&#8221; to bring <a href="http://www.chicshopperchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/picture-37.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-710" title="reuseable grocery bag" src="http://www.chicshopperchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/picture-37-300x210.png" alt="" width="205" height="143" /></a>the bags with you!</p>
<p>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 &#8212; I fit 2 to 3 times the amount of groceries in one of them as I do in a regular plastic grocery bag!</p>
<p><em><strong>Win it! </strong></em>You can win your very own Loopt or 24/7 bag from Flip and Tumble!  To enter, follow the easy-peasy rules below!</p>
<ul style="color: #993399;">
