Not only are some public bathrooms disgusting but it’s probably difficult trying to hover or wait in line when you are about to burst. But hey! There is a new disposable product called Stand Up, allowing women to enjoy the convenience of standing up to urinate. The pink sleek product could fit in a wallet or back pocket and go completely unnoticeable.  When your done,…

The runway was packed with models wearing lingerie-inspired dresses that flirted with every idea of romance, rebellion, and fun. The message was clear: these brides came to make demands, and yes, the words “prenup” were boldly displayed across their chests in statement jewelry and appliqués.

The drama is there, but it never feels overdone or forced; it’s polished, intentional, and utterly romantic.

    Baja East Ready To Wear S/S 2015 NYFW

    Baja East’s Spring Summer 2015 collection at New York Fashion Week offers an effortless mix of urban cool and subtle goth edge, giving off that slightly Tumblr-inspired, streetwise aesthetic that feels both modern and relaxed. There is a clear sense that the designer wanted comfort to remain a central focus, yet without sacrificing style or visual interest. Fabrics feel soft and approachable, sometimes airy and lightweight, draping naturally over the body. At the same time, there are moments of careful construction where pieces are intricately twisted or layered over the torso, giving a subtle nod to toga-like draping without feeling costume-y.

    Hyperlaps from Instagram

    A new app has been released by Instagram called Hyperlapse making mobile device videos more professional and smooth.  Everyone has become an elitist  photographer with instagram, so why not video? Or should we call it filmography now? Either way it’s a step in the direction of better quality content. “Traditionally, time-lapse videos depend on holding your phone or camera still while you film,” said Instagram. “Hyperlapse from Instagram features built-in stabilization technology that lets you create moving, handheld time lapses that result in a cinematic look, quality and feel — a feat that has previously only been possible with expensive equipment.” Is Hyperlapse worth they hype?  Watch the video below:
