Brooks' Cascadia 3 trail runners let you peruse nature as intended

Waist not, want not

The belt-tightening stops here

By now, every recessionista has figured out the best way to revive a tired outfit is with a funky accessory—bonus survival points if the accessory is functional. But functional and eco-friendly? Keep your pants on—Buncombe Buckles is in the (belt) loop.

Snow slickers

Pants to take the slopes by storm

To prevent suffering at the hands of a sometimes bitter Mother Nature, two things are of crucial import: maintaining warmth and circulation.

Local blog examines how to eat gooder

A few weeks ago, Kenji Alt killed a duck. And it won't be long before he kills again.

"I'm going to do a chicken in a few weeks," he says.

Nose-powdering au naturale

CARGO Cosmetics spawns PlantLove collection with "red lips, green conscience"

In the cosmetics world, green is the new black. Or, rather, green is the new pink, red, bronze or whatever other shade of makeup you are currently lusting after.

CARGO Cosmetics joins the eco-friendly bandwagon with their augmented collection, PlantLove, consisting of all-natural beauty products and biodegradable packaging. In February 2007, CARGO introduced 12 shades of earthy-crunchy lipsticks to eco-conscientious ladies. This fall, CARGO has expanded PlantLove to include everything from loose-powder foundation to eyeliner.
