Dante Beatrix: Bags for kids and the moms that love them

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Kids and Babies, Style for a Cause, Green Fashion


Dante Beatrix makes bags. They make backpacks for children big and small and stylish totes for the moms walking briskly beside them.

The 'big kid eco pack' is designed for kids ages 5-10, and is "made of PET (100% recycled plastic bottles) with canvas trim, a naturally biodegradable fabric." They feature themes of peace, love and recycling. It's like understanding, but not as funny.

Is your kid a bit younger? No problem, what the 'little kid backpack' lacks in sustainable material it makes up for in creative design and durability. It's created to fit the 2-5 set and will hold all the crayons they can break.

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.

If we had to pick one store that we couldn't live without it would most likely be Target. Sure, other stores sell fancier things and have more ambiance, but from the minute we buy our customary bag of popcorn and Icee for ONE DOLLAR, we're in and we're hooked. They have everything in there. Seriously, we looked.

Top 5 ways to green up your wardrobe

Filed under: Style for a Cause, Green Fashion


By this point we've all heard how important it is to buy eco-friendly products, and that includes fashion. But is it all just hype? Just another marketing gimmick employed by corporate America to try and get us to spend more dollars but feel less guilty about doing it?

No matter what though, people will always want to dress in a way that makes them feel good about the way they look. We shouldn't have to compromise style in our quest to save the planet. Sure, we need to adjust our habits, but that doesn't mean that we'll all end up looking like a bunch of dirty hippies. Here's our list of the top 5 ways to really green up your wardrobe.

Earth Day 2008

Filed under: Green Fashion





This year, on April 22, over one hundred million people around the world will take time out for the planet. As the green movement becomes increasingly popular, and we all start to realize how important it is to reduce our environmental impact, it's no surprise the fashion industry has followed suit. "Eco-friendly" used to be synonymous with "fashion disaster," but now that designers -- from the internationally acclaimed to the up-and-coming independents -- are turning their efforts toward more sustainable attire, it's no wonder that going green is eco-chic.


What's the key to sustainable style? Is it a cute new reusable shopping tote? Vegan shoes? Both? Check out our picks for eco-chic "must-haves."

For the more laid-back fashionista, our resident expert on casual-chic shows you how to look good and stay comfortable while you go eco-friendly.
