I've been faithfully bringing my reusable shopping bag everywhere I go. So faithfully, that it's become a bit tattered. In looking for a fun and stylish replacement, I found my new favorite, the fabulous Green Girl eco tote.

The versatile, reversible bags come in lightweight cotton or a sturdy canvas, with colorful patterns and a comfortable, simple and functional design. You can use them for shopping, toting supplies to the beach or even as a carry-on. And because all of the designs are reversible, you get twice as many style options, which is great in these budget conscious times.

Designer Lori Rose created Green Girl as a fashionable way to be eco-conscious, and fulfill her goals for a sustainable lifestyle. A portion of the net online sales support three charities: American Forests, the David Suzuki Foundation, and the Natural Resources Defense Council.

There are lots of reasons to pick up your own Green Girl tote, but keep a close eye on it if you do, because people will love it so much they'll try to get it from you!

Holly Robinson-Peete's daughter snagged her cool mom's tote to use as a book bag. And the same thing happened to me! My friend was visiting, saw my reversible canvas tote in the perfect for spring Pink Zinnia pattern, and somehow talked me into letting her take it home.

Lucky for her, I have my eye on the equally striking black and white Noguchi, and now I have an excuse to order it!
