Hello everyone, happy Friday! Today, I am sharing a casual outfit that I like very much! Living in New York sometimes make you feel like you need to dress up all the time. But sometimes, if you have a stylish coat, being comfortable when dressing down is actually quite an enjoyment. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you would notice that this plaid coat has been on repeat for me for so many different occasions, I LOVE it. It's on sale now, only 68 dollars, PLEASE GO GET IT before it’s gone!!!

各位捧友，大家好！今天要分享的是一套休閒卻不失態度的裝扮。因為住在紐約，常常覺得每天都要打扮地花枝招展。但偶爾可以放鬆一下（比如說像是穿穿平底鞋）真的是一種很「腳踏實地」的幸福感受。如果你有follow我IG的話，應該有發現我最近真的超常穿這件格子大衣。格子大衣在紐約幾乎已經成為時尚男女的制服，走在路上看到彼此還需要有默契地點個頭的那個程度我不誇張！我的這件是Metisu的，價格平實，換算台幣不到兩千塊，要衝的請趕快！

I also want to talk about this Apolis market bag. As a proud millennial, I truly adore and support socially conscious companies (Also here). Apolis is a certified ‘B corporation’ (There are only 2,422 B corporations in the world!), which means they take pride in their extremely high standards for social and environmental responsibility. Big plus for them!

今天還有另一主角，就是我拿在手上的Market Bag。我中文想半天不知道要如何翻譯，最相近的意思大概就是「購物袋」吧！但這個Apolis的購物袋可是大有來頭，因為Apolis是B型企業，全世界到目前為止只有2,422個！B型企業除了賺錢（誰不想呢），他們對社會關懷以及環境保護也有更嚴苛的標準，能拿到認證可是大不容易呢，是不是大加分！

When you think about giving back to society, you may think about donating 10% of your income to charities or the “one-for-one” charity business model. Apolis is doing something different: they believe that for families to break from poverty, they need to be self-sustaining local businesses. Like the famous Chinese proverb goes: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. “ That’s exactly what Apolis is trying to do- create sustainable livelihoods for their employees.

一般我們想到企業回饋社會的方案，大多不出營業所得幾%捐給基金會，或者你買一我捐一等等之流。但Apolis想要做得更多。他們明白，要讓一個貧苦鄉村可以自給自足，光給他們錢財是不夠的，因為錢用完就沒了，他們需要的是工作，是養活自己，以及養活家人的能力以及機會。

I spoked with a Apolis‘ Social Media Manager Spencer, and here I quote: “For a family of three in Bangladesh, the monthly minimum wage in the area is 6,000 taka ($90 USD). Women who make the Apolis Market Bag receive pay that is 20% higher than the minimum wage, in addition to benefits and job security. Additionally, the moms have access to the Saidpur co-op's annual profit. Last year, each mother received around 15,000 taka (over $200 USD) as their portion of profit, which they used to pay family hospital bills and rebuild their homes.” Wouldn’t you say this is something really meaningful?

為了合作寫這篇文章，我也訪問過Apolis的社群網站經理Spencer。他說道：「在孟加拉，一個月的最低薪資是6,000塔卡（約是2,645元新台幣）而Apolis在地工廠的媽媽們除了享有多20%的薪資，更有年終還有業績獎金。去年，每位媽媽都領了15,000塔卡（約台幣六千四）的業績獎金。」你們說，這樣的公司，是否真的很積善積德，很有意義呢？

Aside from all the goodness that’s on the inside, this market bag also has everything on the outside. The sturdy, low-key classy looking bag comes with customizable text- I customized mine to be “EAT, DRINK, NAP”- that described me pretty well right? I actually got stopped and asked where I got this bag from at Whole Foods multiple times! If you decide to join the socially conscious grind and get this market bag, make sure you use HILISAYS to get a free-shipping! No commission for me, simply perks for you!

這個「購物袋」可以如此深得我心，除了因為他們內在行善積德，它的外型也是十分討喜。袋子的正面可以讓你客製化的自由選字，我選了「吃、喝、睡」，不錯吧！我現在去時尚的Whole Foods買菜時都會提著它，還多次被裡面的時尚媽媽詢問我這個袋子在哪裡買的呢！如果你們心動了也想購買一咖購物袋，結帳時可以使用HILISAYS免運碼，我沒有收他們的佣金，只是單純幫你們Ａ到一個好康而已！快買吧！
