Unpopular Opinions Are Like Chocolate Ice Cream… Nobody agrees with everything everybody says all of the time. Many people may try, by keeping their real opinions to themselves. If that is you, then this post … actually might be very much what you need. We all have our beliefs, and to some, they may be viewed as wrong, or incorrect, but that doesn’t change our view. If you have an unpopular opinion, then that’s not your problem....

This new line of swimwear designed in collaboration with Zaha Hadid shows just how wide her range of influence can be in the world of design....

The iconography of weapons is deep rooted in American life. As children, we idolized the shoot ’em up heroes, we played as robbers or cops, we couldn’t escape the message that a gun was a symbol of power. Today, we have hopefully learned about the darker side of the weapon in life– but the subtle iconography remains. The jewelry smiths at MathMatiks have created a series of accessories with a street flair, but adorned in gold....

Is Early 2000s Fashion Coming Back? Fashion experts will tell you we’re creatures of habit. We like to cling to the past, particularly when it comes to our wardrobe. Deep down, we know baggy denim jeans will be cool again so why part with them? We primarily have Gen Z to thank for Y2K fashion, though. They’re headlining this look online and if we’ve learned anything about Gen Z, it’s that trends on TikTok have the power to move mountains—or in this case, closets....

Here are the 14 best American-made boots we have found in our research. #1 – Caterpillar Second Shift The runways of Paris, New York, and Milan might never be graced by the ‘basic’ design of the Second Shift, but that’s because runways can’t walk. If they could, they’d tell you that Goodyear Welt construction gives you flex as you move, yet holds your ankle well in place hour after grueling hour....

She’s worse than trading a voice for a sexy set of legs – which Ursula should have cursed to be packed with cellulite and hair so Ariel looked like a mammoth from the waist down. Worse than being cursed to sleep like a useless object. Worse than being a total ice queen. Worse than waiting for a prince to come save her. Worse than a literal spoiled princess born to riches....

As with any collection of tools, you should start with the gear you need first, then move your way up to the items that don’t often make an appearance in your mixological forays. Buy quality that will last and avoid scrimping, as the wrong equipment will lead to sub-standard sipping, and that cannot be allowed to stand. Drink Cart The two things that no one mentions about a home bar is that you’re going to need a lot more storage space than you think you do, and you’re going to need to be able to ferry stuff to different spots, even if your house is small....

Let’s face it, that’s what made America great the first time around, so we’re sticking with what works. Before we get you geared up for shenanigans, there’s a few rules about tailgate partying that all must follow or be banned from the parking lot for life....

Pretty in Pink Coming in hot with shock and awe, pink has been catching on as a completely acceptable hair color. These bubblegum tones can run the gamut from hot and striking to much more muted. The trick is to get it to work with your skin tone, using lighter, ashen contrast against darker complexions and deeper, denser colors if you look a little pale. Ocean Pearl Platinum blonde has been done to death, and the stripped down, washed-out look isn’t turning any heads these days....

While the summers in Whistler, British Columbia are truly majestic, it is the winter sporting action that attracts North Americans in droves. If you’re going to do Whistler right, the Compass Point Home is the ultimate in British Columbian luxury. This five bedroom home was designed for architect Sean Anderson with a vision to preserve the cabin-style living of southwest Canada. Of course, you won’t find a cabin quite like this in the mountain habitat of BC....

The design of the Cykno eBike is vintage in spirit, recalling the bicycle designs of the early-to-mid 20th century. Carbon fiber and fine leather are used liberally in this design, while classy bits of character are added in the unusual seat design, old-world headlight and radial spoke wheels. Inside the frame, a 250 watt or 500 watt battery provides 60km of pedal-assist cruising on a single charge. While resting, the Cykno can recharge in 4 hours on a standard plug, ready to ride again at the end of the work day or the following morning....

The modern weapon is at once a symbol of power and fear, safety and danger. This conflict of values has made this symbol one of common idolization in western culture. It is in our films, our music, our art– and even our design. Love it or hate it, this symbolism is not lost on the work of creatives. To celebrate their inspiration, here are 20 weapon-inspired designs that poke fun at humanity’s obsession with tools of our own destruction....

Faceted Automobiles: Lamborghini Design Lamborghini could be considered to be the godfather of faceted design. In 1974, the Lamborghini Aventador, the Reventon and the Sesto Elemento are a few of the brand’s latest and greatest, each of which has a fundamental focus on facets in its bodywork. For over 40 years, this crystalline approach to automotive design has been a defining factor for one of Europe’s great luxury car manufacturers.
