Style Cravings & Other Words

Billboards Be Gone!

Grumble:
Advertising billboards not only litter our minds but also our streets.  A bit too dramatic? 

Sure, sometimes billboards are worth it all because they’re uber sexy -- you remember Marky Marky's Calvin Klein billboard from the 80s and “Smith” from Sex and the City's!  Absolutely heart palpitating.  But, sometimes billboards are just… well, advertising that’s going to have a short run and then wind up in the landfill.  Like I said, litter, rubbish, garbage.

Goodness:
Thanks to the gurus at Green Guru, that would-be billboard waste is now fodder for bag, wallets, goggle straps and pouches.  Here's how it works... it's pretty dang simple.

Still pretty simple!


Go:
Surf on over to Green Guru and check out their RAD Billboard Series surfboard bag and small deluxe messenger bag which only cost $100 each.  They’re loaded with cool colors and no two are alike because none of US are alike…  not even Octomom’s spawn.

They also have hemp bags which are majorly on sale right now, so buy up if you’re crunchy.


If you are related to Darth Vader, then perhaps the Blow Out Series is more your speed?  As the name would suggest, these pouches, straps, wallets and bags are made of black rubber from bomber truck and tractor inner tubes, so you know they can withstand some SERIOUS abuse.  The Vulcar bag is $150, but suffice it to say, you’ll never wear it out, so it should last you a lifetime!  The wallet is only $25.

 

Why should you care?  Because lIfe starts to happen when the rubber meets the road... so get livin'.

Travel Bug-No Pack Hassles

by Ali

Itching, aching for a little vay-k as in I need a vacation, get me out of here and make sure a margarita is included? Well, call up your man or nudge him and remove the remote if he's right next to you. And if he's not budging, then call your girlfriends a la Thelma and Louise style. It's time to pack a bag, toss it in the trunk and head out on the highway. Whether it’s the heat of Palm Springs or a jam-packed weekend in Montauk these are the stylish essentials that work on either coast or in between with your friends at the family lake house.
These are my faves for a fun filled weekend in outfits that are hassle free and eye catching. Are you ready to go?
