Greg Lauren Recycled Tent Fashion

Former actor, painter, and artist Greg Lauren is no stranger to fashion, for he is the nephew of fashion giant Ralph Lauren.  Greg has recently transferred his skills into wearable art, with his range of designer jackets made with recycled materials; army tents and duffle bags, now available to buy in Barney's. Price tags are not easy on the wallet, but his jackets are pleasing to the eye.

Upcycled Wooden Ruler Ideas

Rulers have long been made of wood in a wide range of sizes, but not all rulers these days, are wooden.  Vintage wooden rulers hold a certain old school nostalgia don't they?
