Welcome back, welcome back, (You know you like that)*

..... and I'm back. Belize was a blast... but I won't bore you with the details because I hate it when people go on and on about their fabulous vacations ("and then, we went to this gorgeous little shop on the outskirts of town....") If you do want to know, or ever want advice about planning a trip there, you know how to reach me!
Since I've been gone (actually since the end of July, because I got lazy) I've gotten over 60 e-mails with great sites and designers. So...without further adieu... I bring you Ecoist. First of all, I love environmentally conscious designers... but lets be honest, more than that, I love great style. Ecoist achieves both:

Founded in 2004, their objective is to merge design with social and environmental consciousness to provide stylish, functional, and durable products that people will love to own. All their products are made from recycled, organic, or earth-friendly materials, and are manufactured through their network of fair trade partnerships around the world.

Ecoist collaborates with its network of accomplished designers to develop new sustainable products and collections. From Mexico to Chile to Miami, Ecoist is building a team of highly creative and talented eco-fashion designers

My favorite? The Recycled Movie Billboard Handbag! How cute are these?!
