There are so many options when it comes to re-usable bags, it really is something that you can customize to your individual tastes and shopping style. I have a range of bags that I use and carry, mainly store-branded bags (like Target or Kroger) or my favorite Mama Go To Market Bags from Etsy. I prefer my Etsy bags because they are made from vintage tablecloths, are super soft yet sturdy, pretty and hold much more than it looks like they should. My husband, on the other hand, prefers to use the store-branded bags because they are a lot less girly and fold flat, so as to be tucked easily into his car.
As I've gotten more accustomed to using my own bags, it's given me the opportunity to add more to my collection and branch out a bit; there are so many choices, let's try and narrow that down a bit, shall we? Already, on this site, we've discussed Chicobags and The Reisenthel Market Basket so I'm not going to cover those, but definitely click the links and check them out.

I love you guys...you see, I needed to find a tote bag for my little one starting pre-school in the fall (which I am in TOTAL denial about by the way...I just brought her home form the hospital yesterday, right?) And low and behold, who points me to the CUTEST sesame street bags? You guys, of course. My daughter is the biggest SS fan EVER (and she'll kick your butt if say otherwise) so I ordered the cookie monster bag for her. You can order them seperately for those of you who didn't want ALL the Sesame Street bags...
So thanks again Style Lush for helping a mom look cool, even if it is in the eyes of a 3 year old :)
