Meet Your New Favorite Bra

The UpBra

 

 

Finding the perfect bra can seem like an impossible task. Between slipping straps, gaping cups, and digging bands, it can be frustrating and pretty discouraging to find the perfect bra for you. Women shouldn’t have to compromise comfort when trying to find a bra that makes you look and feel gorgeous. Meet your new favorite bra: The UpbraⓇ.

Upbra is doing what was once thought impossible, giving you cleavage you never thought possible and lift like you’ve never had before. The Upbra is amazing because it gives you complete control over your cleavage thanks to the cleavage control straps. Ladies, just pull a little for a more everyday look, or pull a lot for a more glammed up, bombshell look. This is a gamechanger. Particularly for women with smaller cup sizes that normally can’t achieve such amazing cleavage without excess padding or invasive surgery.

“Giving you cleavage you never thought possible”

But Upbra isn’t just great for smaller cup sizes, it’s the perfect bra choice for women with larger breasts who are in need of all-day lift that will keep you comfortable and supported. Each Upbra has specially formulated vinyl hearts on the inside of the cups to grip your breasts and move them upwards and inwards when the cleavage-control straps are pulled. The vinyl hearts are comfortable, yet effective to ensure your cleavage will stay put throughout the day, no more sagging and no more digging straps.

“Finding the perfect bra can seem like an impossible task”

Upbra also knows that most women are not wearing their true bra sizes, and that’s why they created their amazing Mobile Bra Size Calculator. It’s an easy, free, and effective way to find your true size, without having to use an annoying measuring tape, complicated sizing formulas, or trivial bra size questionnaires. With Upbra’s app, you’re guaranteed to find you the perfect bra to help you feel confident and look sexier than ever before.

If you want to find your new favorite bra, one that will give you the most amazing cleavage that you can control while also giving you supportive all-day lift, we highly recommend giving the Upbra a try. Your breasts will thank you!

Reigning Queen of Candy Land, Dylan’s

The Reigning Queen of Candy Land Dylan Lauren Candy Store NYC
The Reigning Queen of Candy Land

My stores are what I imagine Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory would look like in real life meets Candyland and Disneyland,” says Dylan Lauren, The Reigning Queen of Candy Land and founder of Dylan’s Candy Bar. A fashion-forward sweet shop filled with a global array of chocolates, gummies, and other treats made by everyone from large-scale companies to mom-and-pop shops, chefs or new vendors like DO and Cracked, which are now available at the Union Square store. “I have added elements that are inspired by modern and pop art and increase the retailtainment factor: oversized lollipop trees, a staircase of backlit candy, walls with vibrant candy patterns, giant cupcakes you can dine in, a light changing ceiling of rainbow colors, spinning candy cane columns….”

Lauren opened her Manhattan Flagship Dylans Candy Bar in 2001. Since she has expanded to 21 locations, including Chicago, Houston, and Toronto. New this year are pop-ups at Madame Tussaud’s in Times Square and a boutique at Woodbury Common in upstate New York. Another addition, Dana’s Bakery, which is known for its delectable macarons, is opening a shop-in-shop on the bottom floor of Lauren’s Third Avenue flagship.

“Yes, it can be a bit overwhelming, but what keeps me grounded and focused is being consistent with my mission for the company and staying true to the brand,” says Lauren. “Our mission is to merge fashion, art and pop culture with candy to awaken the inner child and creative spirit in all. I love looking at candy and seeing all its beauty with the bright colors, unique shapes, sizes, awesome packaging and graphics, and then designing using those elements for bags, jewelry, spa products, mosaics, and cocktails.”

Creativity is something that runs in Lauren’s family—she is the daughter of legendary fashion designer Ralph Lauren and his wife, Ricky, an artist and author. “My parents understood the concept of Dylan’s Candy Bar from the very beginning, and knew that this was my passion,” Lauren says. “Growing up, I was obsessed with visiting unique candy shops while traveling around the world, and I loved creating candy art projects. They’ve always encouraged me to do what I loved because if you do what you love, you will be most successful.”projects.

My true passion is designing and color, with candy as the main medium.,

At Dylan’s Candy Bar, the founder’s fashion-family influence can be seen everywhere from the array of branded clothing and accessories to the cohesive blend of art, culture, and candy. “I enjoy learning from my father by watching him create collections or develop ideas for new products,” says Lauren. “While I have spent my life at Ralph Lauren events and often offer my suggestions for clothing, my true passion is designing and color, with candy as the main medium.”

Both of Lauren’s parents contributed to her entrepreneurial spirit. “My dad encouraged me to follow my gut and dream big, and urged me to create something that would wow people. He understood that this wasn’t going to be a typical candy shop, but instead the world’s largest candy store and lifestyle emporium,” she says. “My mom is very creative as an artist, photographer, and author. I was exposed to her appreciation of beautiful colors, gorgeous photos, and intelligent style of writing. Her creativity continues to help me formulate ideas, and it also inspired my book, Unwrap Your Sweet Life (Random House). And as a chocoholic herself, my mom has also introduced me to some great companies.”

Also important to the entire Lauren family is philanthropy—Lauren launched Dylan’s Candy BarN. A foundation aimed to help animals through raising funds and awareness for rescue organizations and hosting adoption events, including a recent drive with New York City shelter pets at the Union Square boutique. “Animals have always been a cause close to my heart, and this lifelong passion inspired me to launch Dylan’s Candy BarN,” Lauren says. “My grandparents would regularly give me a few dollars, and let me choose to either spend it or to give it to someone in need. My grandmother was a supporter of the ASPCA, and my parents have always placed an importance on giving.”

Recently, the Reigning Queen of Candy Land, Lauren appeared on an episode of Toy Box, coaching kid entrepreneurs—an exercise that inspired her to create more candy toys for her stores. Next up, she has her eye on more locations, including shopping destination SoHo. “I would love to have another New York City store, and design it to have its own unique aesthetic representative of the neighborhood,” she says. “I enjoyed designing the Union Square store with its downtown aesthetic, which is very different from our Third Avenue Flagship. The downtown store has black walls, silver glitter floors, light-changing ceiling, light up rotating rock candy and candy canes, and we play remixed dance versions of candy tunes. I like to think of it as a candy disco.

“SWEET-SHOP ENTREPRENEUR DYLAN LAUREN CONTINUES TO EXPAND HER FASHION-MEETS-CHOCOLATE EMPIRE
WITH NEW LOCATIONS AND COLLABORATIONS” as The Reigning Queen of Candy Land

Since 9/11, it’s been amazing to see the revitalization of New York,” she continues. “From FiDi and TriBeCa to NoHo and SoHo, there are new shops, restaurants, and activities that have brought Downtown back to life. New York City is a very different landscape than it was when I opened Dylan’s Candy Bar 16 years ago!”

She also makes an effort to encourage women entrepreneurs. “The candy industry is mostly dominated by men, so I made sure to surround myself with inspiring women with diverse backgrounds,” Lauren says. “Regardless of what industry you’re in, I recommend doing the same. When forming support systems, prioritize those who believe in you and your goals. Don’t be afraid to take risks. If you truly believe in the concept and surround yourself with a steady support system, anything is possible. Be con dent and always trust your intuition.” DT

SWEET DREAMS

A childhood passion for creative candy became a thriving, and innovative business for Dylan Lauren.

The Reigning Queen of Candy Land has her DOWNTOWN favorites

■ LOVE THE FARMERS MARKET BY MY STORE IN UNION SQUARE. I LIKE FEELING A SENSE OF NATURE IN LOWER MANHATTAN THROUGH SEEING FARMERS, FRESH VEGETABLES AND PRODUCE BROUGHT IN FROM PLACES LIKE CONNECTICUT, VERMONT, AND NEW JERSEY.

■ THE BOUTIQUES, GIFT SHOPS AND ESPECIALLY THE BAKERIES OF CHELSEA MARKET.

■ I ENJOY VISITING MEMBERS OF SOHO HOUSE BECAUSE IT HAS THE MOST INTERNATIONAL AND CREATIVE MIX.

■ I LOVE THE STORES AROUND PRINCE STREET. THE AREA REMINDS ME OF EUROPE WITH THE COBBLESTONE STREETS AND UNIQUE SHOPS YOU CAN’T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE.

■ SOME OF MY FAVORITE PLACES TO EAT AND ENJOY A COCKTAIL INCLUDE GEMMA AT THE BOWERY HOTEL, THE LIBRARY AT THE NOMAD, ACE HOTEL BAR, AND WAVERLY RESTAURANT. I LOVE PLACES THAT ARE TASTEFULLY DONE AND COZY WITH AN OLD WORLD FEEL, WITH A HIP, MODERN TWIST.

Expert Skincare Advice for Summery, Glowing Skin

When it comes to beauty, having healthy skin is a must. After all, you can’t build a beautiful skyscraper without building a solid foundation first, right? In order to find out some expert skincare advice regarding healthy skin, how to achieve it, and what products really work, I had the pleasure of interviewing COS BAR‘s skin expert Maria Campitiello. Through following these tips, you can achieve that summery, glowing look that we all long for each year!

Expert Skincare Advice

What are your top three holy grail products for achieving glowing, summery skin?

Diamond Instant Glow from Natura Bisse is perfect all year round glow-getting treatment.  You need to exfoliate, even in the summer, and this gentle chemical peel comes in a glass ampule, so it’s stable and pure.  Spread over cleansed skin, leaveon for 8 minutes and rinse.  Follow that with a radiance ampule, the contents of which are absorbed after a minute, then do the same with the lift ampule.  In 10 minutes, you have a result that rivals the glowing, fresh complexion you have after, a facial.

Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Glow Drops transform and revitalizes dull skin.  It has ingredients that will optimize skin tone, refine the pores and create a visible youthful radiance.  You can cocktail it with other serums, add to your face cream or foundation, or just tap it into your skin directly.  It creates a beautiful, natural glow without a trace of shimmer.

Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Glow Stick is your glow on the go – a double ended stick with a bright poppy colored creamy blush on one end, and the most gorgeous golden radiance highlighter on the other.  You can apply with fingers or a brush and adjust the intensity to customize your glow.

For those of us to love to sunbathe; how harmful is the sun on our skin?

It’s not great.  I recommend avoiding the face and neck.  The ReVive Solaire Superieur SPF 50+++ is awesome over your normal skincare routine.  It’s super protection and has a light, primer-like texture that wears well under makeup.  Sunleya SPF 50 by Sisley is a complete anti-aging moisturizer that happens to provide great protection, too.

What is the most important step in a given skincare routine?

I believe that cleansing is the most important step.  It’s important to wash off the day’s dirt, pollutants and irritants so that your skin is free to repair and restore itself.

At what age should one start practicing a skincare regimen to avoid wrinkles and maintain healthy, young-looking skin?

You’re never too young for sun protection.  Eye-cream is important by your mid 20’s because the skin around the eyes is thin and delicate.  You want to keep it moist and plump to counterbalance all the rubbing during allergy season and the tugging you do when you wing your liner.

What other products, besides skincare, would you recommend to someone looking to take care of their skin from a holistic standpoint?

Skincare Advice

Tata Harper Body Oil.  Organic, clean and natural – it does a great job keeping skin supple with a soft glow.  Also, 8Greens and Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Skin Food are supplements designed to lower inflammation in the body, which leads to better (much better) skin.

What products would you recommend to someone on a budget, but who is willing to splurge on one or two items that will truly make a difference in his/her skin?

Amore Pacific Future Response Eye Cream – two chambers, one with an eye cream per day with SPF that protects and prevents damage, the other with a night cream for eyes that repairs and restores.

La Prairie Line Interception Power Duo – same concept.  Two chambers that dispense separately, one with a day cream and one with a night cream.  The textures are amazing and the products work!

Don’t Miss This Summer Friday on a Budget in NYC

https://www.pexels.com/photo/group-of-people-doing-cheers-544961/

    It’s Friday, Downtowners! Looking for a fun way to unwind on your long-anticipated Friday in the sun?

    Well, you’re in luck, because Lyft is partnering with Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar this weekend to provide you with a unique way to have fun, with a discount! Between 1-4 p.m. on June 1st, 2018, Lyft will be providing discounted rides to the Conrad Hotel (up to $10 off!). For the first 120 Lyft passengers, access to a secret menu item (I’ll take a Pink Lyft prosecco and ice pop, on the rocks, please!), and a complimentary pair of Loopy Doopy Rooftop sunglasses will be provided. It’s simple: just show the bartender your Lyft receipt, and make sure to use the promo code LOOPYDOOPY on the Lyft app to receive your discount!

 

Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar’s Classic Popsicle        Cocktail

FRUITY COCKTAILS WITH A VIEW   

  The Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar is well-known for its ice pop infused, instagram-worthy cocktails. What better way to kick off the summer than with a refreshing drink and an unbeatable view? Located in the beautiful Downtown neighborhood of Battery Park, the Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar provides beautiful panoramic views of the Hudson River. Some of the fan-favorite flavors that you might enjoy include Blueberry Peach, Strawberry Lemongrass and Empire Apple (YUM!). 

       A peek at Loopy Doopy’s panoramic views

 Here’s some more good news: this is just the beginning for Lyft’s deals of the summer. To keep up to date & make sure you don’t miss a discounted ride to a summer hotspot, be sure to check out this link https://sites.google.com/lyft.com/summerfridays/home. Besides, does anyone really want to go for a night out on the town via subway?; high heels, crowded subway cars and high temperatures just don’t mix well for a glam night out (hello, hair frizz). 

 What’s your favorite, go-to NYC summer venue? Let us know in the comments below!
