I hope that this doesn't appear twice but..
I got a great fabric bag from Peach Berserk in Toronto. It's small but stretchy and is the perfect size to carry my dress shoes in (don't want to wreck them in the snow!)

As much as it may be like making a deal with the devil for the greater good, perhaps collaborating with a chain like Target can provide the exposure and hopefully the cash flow to further promote his own green line.

I got a fabtastic big bag as a gift and use it all the time. It has most of my life in it and therefore, gets pretty heavy. I'll switch to a smaller bag for evening, though.
As a former massage therapist, I have seen the effects that larger bags (and their contents) can have.
I have suggested to clients switching sides as often as possible to distribute the weight more evenly.
For some, I suggested using a smaller bag but most felt that was akin to lopping off an arm.
I generally recommend that if you are carrying the bigger bags, see a masssage therapist at least once a month , if you can. Really. It can help ease the pain and revent future muscle imbalances and postural problems when you're older.

Why does this girl get so much press?
She seems average at best, maybe that's why(?). The Stam I can see, but this girl? Not so much...

I think with suits, it's all about the fit.
I've seen some really bad fitting suits that look boxy and drab. That can be true for both men and women.
A well tailored suit can work in any setting.
That electric Barbarella suit that Ms. Kidman is wearing is just not a good look for her, but that's just my opinion.

Hmmmm...I like the pieces on their own but altogether, I don't know.
It looks like she's working the party, not attending it. "Umm Ma'am, here's your handbag and wine..."
(I know that seems mean because she looks like a nice person...)

I think that Aveda had a reusable color palette. It was great because the case was portable, classic black and you could pop your color choices in and out very easily. Hope they still make it.
