In keeping with The LAB, the original Anti-Mall and The CAMP, a green-friendly action sports retail center both conceived by Shaheen Sadeghi, comes the newest retail concept: the SEED People’s Market at The CAMP. This market specializes in “products with a purpose.” It’s unlike any retail store you’ve ever visited—a smattering of handmade wares locally made, hand-selected music, design books, responsible toys, organic apparel and more. There’s even one of the largest selections of Patagonia on the West Coast, which quite honestly as a brand has never looked better. We could go on and on about what the Seed People’s…

And we’re thrilled that Memphis is spreading the love (for when we visit) and for those who live in Manhattan Beach. Memphis at the Beach is serving its signature down-home Southern foods and lighter contemporary classics made with fresh produce, premium seafood, and fine meats. Just one block from the pier, the new Memphis at the Beach is pretty green: eco-friendly furniture, wheat board…

Eco-friendly is a sexy concept, and with that said, so are OC-based L*Space swimwear’s new line of “green” bikinis. The new L*Space “Slinky” collection is pioneering “going green” with fabrics made from Sarona fibers—naturally occurring starch in corn kernels that reportedly use less energy and greenhouse gas to produce than other swim wear fabrics. L*Space Slinky separates come in solid shades of black, jade, red, and chocolate brown—and if you’re concerned about stretch—this fabric offers stretch with recovery! Price points are a bit higher than other collections—$60 to $72 per piece, but as a Greer’s OC subscriber you can save.…
