March 25, 2022 at 07:40PM Vanessa Bryant, widow of the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant, announced on Instagram that the Kobe Bryant estate and Nike reached a deal to continue their partnership.

I Took the Plunge and Tried Cold Water Therapy. Here’s What Happened

March 25, 2022 at 06:54PM “Our aim is to deliver peak experiences of awe and connection, and your experience is super-boosted to the moon — to the moon!” I’m sitting in a dimly lit lounge surrounded by half-naked 30-somethings, each of us listening with rapt attention as Othership co-founder Harrison Taylor gets pumped about the experience before us. There are about 25 people here on a Friday night for the club’s hot-cold session, and by show of hands, I’m the only one who’s yet to take the plunge. “Put the hot and cold together and the contrast between the two is way more than the sum of its parts,” Harrison continues. “We are doing deep work here together. We are transforming ourselves, physiologically, down to the cellular level.” Othership Studio in Toronto. Photography by Graydon HerriotOthership, which offers both guided and self-guided sauna/ice…

J Lo Somehow Made Elastic-Waist Pants Look Cool

March 25, 2022 at 05:05PM Jennifer Lopez has a way of dressing to the nines, even when it comes to her casual wear. When she’s not walking the red carpet in a stunning gown, chances are you will find her wearing a laid-back outfit that’s equally as eye-catching. Her latest look is a prime example. Lopez was seen out running errands with boyfriend Ben Affleck while in Los Angeles. For the casual outing, she wore a simple white crop top that came in a boxy silhouette. The singer styled the shirt, which revealed a sliver of skin, with a pair of white utility trousers that took us back to the early aughts: elastic-waist pants. As for her accessories, she accentuated the pants with a black rope belt and finished the look with white sneakers, silver hoop earrings, gold-trimmed aviator sunglasses, and a gold…

This Canadian Designer on Why You Should Moisturize Your Leather Bag

March 25, 2022 at 01:54PM Without sounding too much like a clichĂ©, Stephanie Sonya Ibbitson’s whole life has been leading to the creation of her accessories brand Sonya Lee. “I’ve been gathering my skill set since childhood, and it’s all culminated into this,” the designer says over video chat. “I was really crafty when I was a kid, and I have Dyslexia, so I struggled in school. I felt like the only way that I could succeed was by creating something with my hands.” Her obsession with her mom’s handbags and clothing encouraged Ibbitson to add sewing to her other creative pursuits. When she decided to pursue industrial design at OCAD in Toronto, the rest was history. Photography by Briggs OgloffLaunched in 2014, Sonya Lee has now come to define modern minimalism. Easy-to-wear styles and contemporary classics with a twist have become pillars…
