Bata Shoe Museum Celebrates 20th Anniversary Party




Opened in 1995, the Bata Shoe Museum, is still the only footwear-dedicated museum worldwide, housing everything from prehistoric clogs to poisonous heels and adding glittery glam rock platforms to the mix with its just opened exhibit, Men In Heels.

88-year-old Bata matriarch Sonja Bata kicked off the gala alongside her granddaughter Alexandra Weston and our very own EIC Bernadette Morra, as high profile family and friends looked on with celebratory flutes in tow. As the night wore on, guests mingled with performers dressed as Marilyn Monroe and Napoleon (shoes belonging to both are currently exhibited in the museum), while shoe-based fortunes were told upstairs. If one had been told for the museum itself, we’d bet on it being pretty bright.

Introducing Leilanni's swim collection!!




Every summer, itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikinis crop on racks everywhere to remind us of dreaded swim season. But what if swimwear inspired us to do something other than work on our abs and tone our buns? That’s where Toronto-based designer Leilanni Todd steps in.

Todd’s “Yes! Project” is a limited edition swimwear collection, which she created in collaboration with artists from around the world meant to inspire people to realize their creativity, follow their inner bliss, and commit to saying, “Yes!” to whatever it is they want in life. Too much to ask from a one piece? Considering how much we ask of ourselves to even get into one, we think not.

The project came about as a result of Todd’s search for a sense of connection and purpose in her own life, after she began to stop doing what others said she “should” do, and start saying Yes! to her own creative intuition. Todd’s collaboration celebrates her fellow artists ability to trust the voice that says, “Yes! I can do this” and inspires others to do the same.

10 Makeup Tips Every Woman Should Know (According to a Makeup Artist)


1. Makeup Mistake: Holding Your Brush the Wrong Way

When applying foundation with a brush, hold the very end of it. You will have slightly less control but a much softer touch that'll give you a more natural finish. Bonus tip: Use one pump of liquid foundation for sheer coverage and two pumps for medium.

We like Dior Fluid Foundation Brush ($45, sephora.com) and La Mer The Treatment Fluid Foundation ($85,nordstrom.com).



2. Makeup Mistake: Powdering Without a Plan

Loose powder (try Chanel Poudre Universelle $52,chanel.com) is ground super fine, which helps it minimize shine and diffuse light to blur imperfections. But that doesn'tmean you should go nuts and put it everywhere. Use a large brush, like the Synthetic Domed Multipurpose Brush from Sonia Kashuk ($18, target.com), to powder the T-zone, or take a more detailed approach and use an eye contour brush like the Roque Cozzette S165 Large Eye Contour Brush ($19, roquecozzette.com) to powder under the eyes, along the sides of the nose, and across any skin you want to look smoother.

Mad Men’s best dressed: The most memorable looks throughout seven seasons



On Sunday, May 17th, Mad Men came to an end after seven glorious seasons, and effectively left us both in tears and in think piece heaven. (It’s the only way we’ll be able to pick up the pieces.)

But today, we distract you. Thanks to the genius of costume designer Janie Bryant, Mad Men has established itself as an aesthetic force, helping to usher in a vintage (and vintage-inspired—thank you, Banana Republic) craze that, despite the series’ reminder that the ’60s were anything but idyllic, has over-romanticized the era.

Well, we don’t have time for that. Today, we cut to the chase and rank Mad Men’s best-dressed characters (women only — sorry, Pete’s shorts), which we expect will create just as much controversy as the addition of Don’s waitress obsession this season. Get set.

See the best-dressed list (from best to worst) below. And yes, there are spoilers.

All the looks from the new Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj video

                             

If you’ve looked at your phone even once today, you’ll know that Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj one-upped Taylor Swift, releasing their BFF answer to “Bad Blood” with “Feelin’ Myself,” a racy new track. The video, available only on Jay-Z’s new streaming service Tidal, was shot over a weekend at Coachella and makes us wish our concert season will look even a tiny bit like this.

Beyoncé is hooded up in an anorak by up-and-coming cult label Off White, while Nicki wears a pair of the brand’s distressed denim shorts. In need of desert relief, the girls hop in a blowup-pool sporting pink furry coats (natch) and two of the coolest one-pieces we’ve seen this season. Throwing back to one of the most identifiable ’90s trends, Beyoncé dons a Chicago Bulls swimsuit, while Nicki dons Barbie accessories.

The video is exactly what you would expect: fun, super sexy and filled with tons of fashion moments that make you want to go home and dig up any old jerseys you may have kickin’ around from the ’90s. We will be!

5 makeup tricks to hide the hangover from hell



We’ll point the finger at the friend who encouraged a third glass of wine with dinner, or the bartender who was too generous with his vodka-to-soda ratio. Whatever (whoever?) the reason may be for getting a little too cocktail-happy during a night on the town, we’ve accepted that it just happens sometimes. Bring on the unattractive consequences. Ideally, we’d spend a day post-party in the most cliché way possible: in bed with a big bag of greasy fast food and Netflix. Unfortunately, our schedules are too packed with brunches, errands, and of course, work, to allow ourselves a day of lounging around—especially during the week.

Instead, we need act like the grown-ups we are, wipe that hungover gaze from our faces and carry on with our commitments. But how do you fake being in prime condition while battling blotchy skin, glossy eyes and an overall look of near-death dehydration? We’re highlighting five products to add to your beauty regimen that’ll help keep your night of partying between you and your friends (and maybe your Instagram followers).

5 at-home manicure tips that will make drying time a thing of the past (sort of) | By RENÉE REARDIN


For impatient girls (hello!), our idea of nail art is a fresh mani adorned with the inevitable imprint of bed sheets, strands of hair and smudges of any kind, really. Of course, we don’t actually want these designs, they’ve just become a given with every coat of lacquer we paint on our busy little fingers.

But what can we do? Every time we paint our nails there seems to be a pair of skinny jeans that’s begging to be tried on at that very moment, or a bag of potato chips that’s just been cracked, and suddenly we’re in an IRL game of Operation. The point is, we simply don’t have the time (uh, patience) to sit around, literally watching paint dry.

What we need is a way to give ourselves an at-home mani without having to devote multiple post-paint hours to blowing on our fingertips. Are we dreaming? No! In fact, there are a ton of great products on the market that have been specifically designed for fidgety individuals like ourselves, looking to speed up the drying process. From properly prepping your nails to life-changing quick-dry drops, we’re sharing five at-home manicure tips with as little down time possible.

Browse the gallery below to learn five ways to get and maintain a smudge-free mani.

H&M’s beauty collection is coming this fall and will feature over 700 (!) products | by KATIE STECKLY




We don’t need to tell you that H&M has the fast fashion game on lock, but now the brand has set out to create a beauty line that can keep up with that pace. The full H&M beauty collection will be released this fall in select stores, and the line will eventually make its way to over 900 stores worldwide.

The initial release will include 700 (yes, you read that right) products that will focus on current runway trends, or “fashion for the face,” as concept designer Sara Wallander is calling it. Matching your skirt to your lipstick will seriously never be as easy as it’s about to be.

Five ways to build an ethical wardrobe

As a new film, True Cost, about the moral and eco problems created by the fashion industry is released, here are some tips on cleaning up your sartorial conscience



A decade ago, I became obsessed with fashion. But rather than trend predictions or whether a Kardashian favours a Gladiator shoe/boot, it’s always been about the supply chain for me. Fashion is a full-spectrum industry, running from cotton bolls to catwalks and employing millions in a chain that runs through the lowest-waged economies on Earth, leaving a hulking eco footprint.

I found so many skeletons in fashion’s closet that I wrote a book to get it off my chest – To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing Out the World? Incredibly, the story got darker.
