Ideal Bite

Wanna look smart in more ways than one? Pull on a few hot numbers from Fabric Lab boutique, where almost half the one-of-a-kind clothing is made from reclaimed castoffs. The brainy part? No additional chems - about a quarter of the world's insecticides go into producing cotton to make new stuff. Pull on Potential Fashions' sweet, recycled-cotton halter dress or Eurotrash's totally rad women's jacket made from repurposed menswear - just two items we almost snagged for ourselves. But FL has more than just good jeans (well, deconstructed, anyway): Check out its rotating local art exhibit or get a trim at the hair salon. There's a DIY station to add iron-on prints to your own tees or soon, to bedazzle your way to a sequin top. Mensa-tional.
