Little Earth, Big Bang
The handbag is the ultimate accessory for any woman’s wardrobe (except, of course, the baby on the hip) and I recently stumbled across a purse that is both eco-friendly and uber-cool---the Little Earth Cyclone Bag. Made of recycled materials, the purse, cyclone shaped and pop-culture printed, is the ultimate in fun for everyday or a special night out. The Audrey Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffany’s print especially stole my heart. The place to buy these earth-friendly gems is Filthy Rich, a celebrity inspired store that also sells Hollywood replica jewelry from the necklace Jennifer Aniston wore in Friends to the jewelry worn by Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind.

Plus, a hot cup of tea is just all around relaxing! Available at Village Health Market on South MacDill Avenue.
