Men's Style
Lots of options from head to toe
When I first encountered Taylor Scheer, owner of the men's clothing store The Style Lab, out on the sidewalk in front of his store -- 1338 E. 15th St.-- I thought, "What on earth is he wearing?"

Designers strut their stuff

The Secret Life of Birds and Bees
Hone your nesting instincts
The nest: a place of refuge and comfort, a shelter from external elements. Pretty much everyone knows that a bird nest is where the eggs are, where they hatch, and where the hatchlings live until they can get out and make it on their own.

In Focus
A relatively successful revamp couples style with a modest budget
Ford debuted the Focus in the U.S. in 1999 as a 2000 model. It was popular and well received when it first came on the market, but over time the competition improved and Focus lost its appeal.
