As news of toxins in our plastic drinking bottles- both disposable and reusable- surfaces, people are scrambling for an alternative to keep themselves and their families safe. SIGG Water Bottles offer a stylish and safe alternative. Sigg bottles are made with 100 percent recyclable aluminum and coated with a highly elastic safe finish. Available in over 100 different shapes and eco-chic designs, they’re the bottle of choice for celebs like Madonna and Demi Moore. Pictured above is our favorite design for summer.

See more styles here.

This self-guided walking tour features a rare opportunity to visit a spectacular artists’ studio, designed by acclaimed international architect David Adjaye, as well as a range of stylish private homes in one of Brownstone Brooklyn’s most interesting neighborhoods, Fort Greene.
