Toronto Fashion Week street style has been heavy on the leather front, thanks to an extra chill in the air, but before we could get too caught up in dreading the cold months ahead of us, we were reminded that we won’t have to give up our beloved leather once the weather warms up again, thanks to the Mackage Spring 2015 show. Inspired by their travels, Montreal-based duo Elisa Dahan and Eran Elfassy showed everything from classic interpretations of leatherwear to bold pieces not for the faint of heart. From neon fringe skirts to perforated leather dresses, the appeal of multi-texture is hard to resist, especially when contrasted with breezy chiffon tunics.

While leather on leather (on leather on leather…) came in unusual forms, like wrap skirts and bright pink hot pants, it was also showcased in more traditional pieces, like hooded bombers, motorcycle jackets and as an accent to classic trenches. While last spring, Dahan and Elfassy seemed to be enamoured with the combo of orange and olive green, this season, yellow, electric blue and highlighter pink were welcome additions to the outerwear’s darker aesthetic. With British-born DJ Chelsea Leyland spinning tracks from the likes of Ace of Base, and models wearing a bright pink but worn-in lip colour and hair tied into a messy low knot, the look and feel of the show was undeniably cool.

It’s the final day of fashion week in Toronto and we’re getting ready to wrap things up with the final designers set to present this afternoon. Today’s shows will be no less exciting than the last four days, with the exotic jewellery and handbag collection from Huntress, as well as Stephan Caras’ feminine designs and a glittering gown collection byMikeal D. While we still have Fashion Saturday to look forward to, we can’t help but feel a little celebratory, as Toronto fashion industry supporters have pledged to work towards supporting and developing local talent.

As promised, we are delivering our third exclusive photo shoot brought to you by Toronto creative group The Collections. While the first photo shoot offered an awesome selection of Canadian-designed outerwear, today’s shoot will feature the best in knits, with a mix of our favourite global designers, including Isabel Marant, Commes de Garcons and Acne Studios, with the best Canadian designers such asSid Neigum, Laura Siegel and Som Kong. As no one knows winter better than Canadians themselves, these looks will have you ready to cozy up as the weather starts to cool down.

Ultimate Safari Planner

jav censored watch                

For many, an African safari represents a once-in-a-lifetime dream trip. We've rounded up some of the best that the continent has to offer, but with a warning that after you've experienced any of these safari adventures, once in a lifetime—or, for that matter, one entire lifetime—may just not be enough.
FOR FIRST-TIMERS

Khwai River Lodge—Okavango Delta, Botswana



Set the bar high on your safari experience right from the start. One of Botswana's oldest lodges,Khwai River Lodge was founded by Harry Selby (later immortalized in Hemingway's The Snows of Kilimanjaro) at his favorite campsite. Selby knew how to pick a spot, and this true classic remains a prime location for elephants, hippos, and countless savanna species, and is a known predator hot spot. A private concession, Khwai offers night drives and walks in addition to the standard game drives, which are limited to just six guests per vehicle (making every seat a "window" seat). The lodge's "tent" accommodation is so luxurious (with comforts like AC and Wi-Fi) that apart from the unhindered view of the Khwai River meandering by, you might forget that you're smack dab in the middle of a vast wilderness.
FOR ADVENTURERS

Hmmm . . . tracking gorillas in the forest or following a lion pride along the Zambezi? It's an apples and oranges dilemma, but you can't lose with either of these options.

Gorilla Tracking—Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda



Few experiences can rival that of sweating it out up steep tropical hills and slipping down muddy ravines in search of mountain gorillas. Think you're hard core? Head to Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: the name of this World Heritage Site says it all. The terrain's steep slopes, covered in dense foliage, require a stout heart (and stronger legs), but the hour you'll spend with these magnificent animals will make light of the Impenetrable Forest's rigors. Your suffering will be but a distant memory once you've returned to Bwindi Lodge—separated from the jungle by a mere stream, it's not uncommon for the gorillas to pay a visit to the eco-lodge's front door. (Tip: Book your mountain gorilla trek with the experts at Volcanoes Safari).

Stalking Giants with Goliath—Mana Pools, Zimbabwe



Ever dreamed of tracking a lion pride on foot or paddling up to an elephant in a canoe? A trip withGoliath Safaris in Zimbabwe's legendary Mana Pools National Park is your golden ticket. Operating seasonally (May to November) on the banks of the Zambezi River, this owner-operated luxury tented camp recalls the original safari concept: a true wilderness experience with a focus on getting up close and personal. Walks are led by renowned guide Stretch Ferreira, whose 30 years in the park ensure that guests experience the terrain—whether tracking predators or walking with old elephant bulls—as the animals do. While catering to the adventurous, Goliath doesn't skimp on luxuries, such as comfortable en suite tents just a stone's throw from the river's edge, and excellent meals.
FOR LUXURY SEEKERS

Singita Sasakwa—Grumeti Reserve/Serengeti, Tanzania



Across Africa, the name Singita is synonymous with over-the-top luxury in sublime settings. Of its four properties gracing the Serengeti's Grumeti Reserve, Singita's flagship Tanzanian lodge isSasakwa. The view across the majestic Serengeti plains from Sasakwa's spacious veranda will make your heart soar, while the East African-inspired elegance of the main manor house (all mahogany paneling and chandeliers, set against zebra-skin throws and finely woven grass mats) will tickle every Out of Africa fantasy you've ever harbored. Eight equally show-stopping "cottages" (each with its own infinity pool), and a super-luxurious spa and gym complete the picture.
FOR FOODIES

Singita Boulders—Sabi Sand Reserve, South Africa



The one thing you can be sure of on safari? You won't go hungry. Most high-end lodges serve four meals a day, striving to make every one of them memorable. At the top of the foodie pile standsSingita Boulders Lodge in the famous Sabi Sand Reserve. Catering to clients' every culinary need (Fish-eating vegan? No problem.), Chef Scott Ratrray's kitchen happily adjusts menus with flair. Fresh juices and baked goods are the norm, and locally sourced produce and meat support both the community and the quality of what's on your plate. Diners can expect mains like pork belly with crackling, foie gras, truffle pâté, and apple compote. Meanwhile, Boulders's wine cellar showcases an impressive selection of premium vintages. Bon appétit!


FOR HONEYMOONERS

Royal Chundu Island Lodge—Zambezi River, Zambia



The safari as honeymoon has come into vogue as a great way to combine two trip-of-a-lifetime journeys into one spectacular burst of pleasure. Situated on a private 9-mile stretch of the Zambezi River, just upstream from the spectacular Victoria Falls, Royal Chundu Island Lodge is the perfect honeymoon retreat. Nestled amid an ancient baobab and Jackalberry forest on Katambura Private Island, four luxurious villas look out to private decks with open-air baths and stunning views of the river. When you're ready to emerge, a plethora of activities like sunset cruises on the Zambezi, visits to Vic Falls, game viewing in nearby Chobe National Park, fly-fishing, and river rafting, are all available to share with your sweetheart.
FOR THE BUDGET-CONSCIOUS

SANParks—Kruger National Park, South Africa



Planning a safari on anything less than an earl's fortune can seem like an impossible task. But if you can live without the copper tubs and polished silver, and simply want to get into the bush and see African wildlife, South Africa's national parks system offers some amazing options. The pick of the bunch must be the renowned Kruger National Park. Access-wise, this is likely the most affordable park in its class (rent an economy vehicle from Johannesburg airport to avoid additional flights). Kruger also offers a huge variety of accommodation, from well-resourced campsites ($20/night for the site; bring your own tent), to comfortable safari tents and huts that will only set you back about $50/night for two. Campsites are situated to optimize game viewing, and Satara, Tamboti, and Lower Sabie are recommended for large cat sightings.

5 Reasons to Visit Iceland and the Faroe Islands

censored HD                   


It’s no wonder that so many films and television shows, including the The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,Game of Thrones, and Prometheus, among others, filmed in this part of the world. The landscape is awe-inspiring, wondrous and so beautifully primal it stays with you long after leaving. Sure, you could use your cash and mileage to see the Eiffel Tower, London Bridge, or Leaning Tower of Pisa. But tell your friends and family that you’ve hiked a glacier or basked underneath the Northern Lights, and those will be vacation photos they’ll actually ask to see.
ICELAND


1. TRAVELING FROM THE US IS EASY

Flying time from NYC to Reykjavík is only about 5 1/2 hours. Also, Iceland Air has direct flights to Reykjavík from many U.S. cities including Anchorage, Boston, Denver, Minneapolis, New York, Orlando, Seattle and Washington, D.C. Travel discount sites, like travelzoo.com, and airlines offer discounted 3-day Iceland package trips starting as little as around $700. There are also specially-priced, stop-over packages en route to Europe.

Iceland Air makes it easy to learn about the county’s culture en route with its deep catalogue of music, well-beyond Björk and Sigur Rós, tutoring flyers on one of the country’s most influential exports; there’s Icelandic poetry printed on their pillows; a menu stocked with local flavors; and programming including "Icelandic Sagas," a “Project Runway”-type show called "Hannað Fyrir Ísland"/Designed For Iceland (You’ll see that stylish and layered clothing fit in, including sleek all-weather coats and perhaps a “lopapeysa" Icelandic sweater) and films referencing Iceland’s economic crises, like “Revolution Reykjavík.”




2. REYKJAVIK IS A FASCINATING CITY

The city, where about half of Iceland’s roughly 320,000 citizens call home, is a designated UNESCO City of Literature; they’re geothermal power leaders; the city’s mayor, Jón Gnarr Kristinsson, played in a punk band and was a stand-up comedian, the country’s been called The Most Feminist Place in the World. It’s easy to sightsee on foot in Reykjavik as many tourist attractions are in a condensed area. The Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina with its stylish Nordic design, welcoming lobby fireplace and popular Slipp Bar, is right in the downtown Harbor. The Kex Hostel, located downtown, has a gastropub, bike rentals and holds social events.

While here: Take the elevator to the top of Hallgrimskirkja church (about $4) for panoramic city views; shop on Laugavegur street; visit museums including the National Museum of Iceland; walk along the water and take pictures next to Solfar Sun Voyager then stop in Harpa Concert and Conference Centre. The Official Tourist Information Centre is a centrally located, terrific place for postcards, stamps and directions.

Iceland is known for incredible seafood, fish, skyr, dark rye breads, lamb and more unusual foods including whale, shark, dried cod, reindeer, puffin and sheeps head. Feast at a score of restaurants offering updated takes on traditional food like Fish Market and Kopar. The libation-curious wash it down with a shot of Brennivín, aka “Black Death,” made from potatos and caraway seeds.


3. THE LANDSCAPE IS UNLIKE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD

Where else can you see lava fields, geothermal hot springs, waterfalls, geysers, glaciers, and volcanos, all in one afternoon? Many tourists rent a car to drive Iceland’s 830-mile Ring Road that circles the country and connects to roads leading inland, but a day excursion via the Golden Circle, a 190-mile loop by Thingvellir National Park just outside Reykjavik, is easily manageable and includes natural wonders like Gullfoss waterfall. Consider heading out with a knowledgeable tour company, like Icelandic Mountain Guides. If you’re in a lava field, crossing a shallow river, an expert (and an expert’s vehicle) is welcome. We’ve been told tourists are surprised at what their car rental agreement doesn’t cover.

Other Southern Icelandic sights include Skógafoss Waterfall, Þórsmörk Glacier Valley (aka Valley of Thor); Sólheimajökull Glacier; and Valley of Reykjadalur with its terrific hiking and hot springs.

The infamous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa impresses with its striking architecture. If you’re adverse to crowds, note this popular attraction is often packed with visitors. Otherwise, Blue Lagoon is most convenient to visit, because of its location near the airport, immediately before or after your flight.


4. YOU MAY GET TO SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

From anywhere in the West Nordic region, it is possible to have an unforgettable viewing of theNorthern Lights. Just one hour outside of Reykjavik, the high-design Hotel Ion even has its own Northern Lights Bar, where you can enjoy the breathtaking sky with a cocktail in hand. While wildly unpredictable, the best months to see the Aurora Borealis tend to be February and March, and October and November.


5. A BRAGGING RIGHTS-WORTHY SIDE TRIP IS A QUICK FLIGHT AWAY

Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands make up the West Nordic region. Consider visiting two or three of these destinations in one trip. Both Atlantic Airways and Air Iceland fly from Iceland to the Faroe Islands. Norröna ferry from Hirtshals in Denmark goes to the Faroe Islands capital Tórshavnand also Iceland.

The Faroe Islands, a self-governing Kingdom of Denmark region, settled largely by Norwegian Vikings, are in the North Atlantic, northwest of Scotland, halfway between Iceland and Norway. They’re an archipelago of 18 islands connected by tunnels. Helicopters and ferries also serve as public transportation.

ストリーミング JAV
The land, dreamy as the fog settles over its scattered, rugged mountain tops, is a lure for photographers and known for bird watching (over 300 species). Take a helicopter or boat trip to the island of Mykines to see fantastic bird colonies and dramatic Lord of the Rings-evoking scenery. Also, sightsee and shop in the captial Tórshavn. Include a stop in legendary sweater shop Guðrun & Guðrun, and the record store Tutl for both tradional and cutting-edge music. Try Faroese cuisine at Koks retsaurant in Hotel Føroyar, where chef Leif Sorensen serves traditional Faroese cuisine in inspired, modern ways.

Beginner’s Guide to Tbilisi’s Burgeoning Wine Scene

jav censored free


People have been making and drinking wine around Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, for 7,000 years. Bounded by the Black Sea to the west and the Caucasus to the north, Georgia is perhaps the most exciting newcomer on the international wine scene, with offerings as diverse (500 indigenous grape varieties) as they are distinct (fermentation underground in clay vats called qvevri).

Only in Tbilisi, though, can you sample the full breadth of Georgian wine, from the nutty, mineral-driven amber wines of the East to the plummy, semi-sweet reds from the West. The United States imports just 1 percent of Georgia’s yearly production, which means that the best and often most interesting bottles—those made by small-production wineries—don’t make it across the Atlantic. If you want to taste the best that Georgia has to offer, you'll have to make the trip.

The good news for travelers is that Tbilisi, a budget-friendly city with dozens of new wine bars and tasting rooms, has grown into a veritable and largely undiscovered wine destination. It exhibits the self-assured excellence of the world’s most historic wine regions without the accompanying price tag or the snootiness. Its cuisine is an East-meets-West fusion of freshness and spice, with walnut-thickened sauces, cilantro, and dried marigold petals among the culinary staples. And as for hospitality, it’s the sort of place where strangers insist on walking you to where you need to go when you ask for simple directions.

A memorable way to take in Georgia’s rich culture of food and wine is to set out on a wine bar crawl up and around Kote Afkhazi Street through Tbilisi’s Old Town, snacking on pickles, pungent sulgunicheese, and burnished khachapuri (stuffed flatbreads) along the way. With a wine shop on almost every corner pouring free tastes, it’s easy to lose track of time, but these standouts are worth marking on your map.
SCHUCHMANN WINE BAR & RESTAURANT



A candlelit 18th-century caravanserai (roadside inn) with exposed brick arches and hidden nooks is the setting for Schuchmann Wine Bar & Restaurant. A wine tasting here, accompanied by local sheep’s-milk cheese, toasted walnuts, and crusty bread, spotlights excellent indigenous varietal wines such as Kisi, Rkatsiteli, and Saperavi from wine guru Schuchmann’s proprietary label, Vinoterra. The qvevri-fermented Cabernet Sauvignon, while a departure from Georgia’s traditional grapes, has the staying power of a good Bordeaux.
KONKA
jav bus guide
Situated directly across the street from Schuchmann is a historical konka (Georgian horse-drawn tram) that was converted this spring into a cozy wine bar called Konka (23 Baratashvili St., +995 32 299 8599). Don’t be fooled by the red satin curtains and kitsch appeal, however. Konka has a serious wine list, complete with rare vintages that even the most discerning Georgian wine drinkers would applaud.
VINOMANIA



Shalva, the exuberant owner of Vinomania (45 Kote Afkhazi St., +995 59 336 8622), seems to thrive on giving new customers whirlwind crash courses in local wines, from the sweet reds of Adjara to the world-renowned whites of Telavi. The tasting of seven wines comes to a fiery finish with an obligatory shot of chacha, Georgia’s answer to grappa. You’re in luck if Shalva pulls down a bottle of his grandfather’s homemade stuff, which sees nine years in French oak barrels and can only be bought at his shop.
BOTTLE SHOCK
ญี่ปุ่น คลิป X
Perched on a hilltop just beyond the famous Metekhi Church is Bottle Shock (14 Metekhi Rise, +995 55 540 8000), a homey bar and restaurant opened by a young couple. It has become a favorite hangout in Tbilisi for locals and expats alike. Guests come first for the wine list, with its especially deep selection of antioxidant-rich Saperavi and other dry reds, but they come back for the fireplace, the hearty food, and the warm staff.

Philadelphia's Summer of Pop-Ups

jav censored online



This summer, Philadelphia will transform itself into an urban "resort" with a series of pop-up parks and seasonal beer gardens. With the recent launch of the city's bike-share program, Indego, you can easily hop from one venue to another. Here's a rundown of some of the city's coolest spots to escape from the summer heat.
BEER GARDENS WITH A MISSION



Several years ago, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society added beer to the lineup at its annual pop-up garden, creating an instant hit attraction. This year, PHS is expanding the number of pop-up beer gardens to three. Proceeds from the pop-ups, which are set to debut the first week in June and run through October 1, will be used for programs like the City Harvest initiative to provide fruits and vegetables from community gardens to 1,200 needy families each week.

The new garden locations include one near the iconic cheesesteak stands of Pat's King of Steaksand Geno's Steaks in East Passyunk. This one sports a lounge-y vibe with beanbags, recycled bike parts, and reclaimed wood stadium seats. Another is near the Franklin Institute, Barnes Foundation, and other attractions on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and it will conjure up beach fantasies with palm trees, tropical plants, and cabanas. PHS is also bringing back its 2014 garden on South Street West, this time with a “Bohemian” vibe of palm and banana trees set amid a series of outdoor rooms defined by trellises and container gardens. All three pop-ups will serve a mix of craft beers, wines, and specially designed cocktail and food menus from local restaurants and bars.
SPRUCE STREET HARBOR PARK



Spruce Street Harbor Park, a boardwalk-themed destination on the Delaware River, returns Memorial Day Weekend with all the elements that made it so popular during its 2014 debut. There will be hammocks galore for lounging; a casual bar-restaurant from “Iron Chef” and restaurateurJose Garces fashioned from three repurposed shipping barges; floating gardens; ambient lighting from hundreds of multi-colored LEDs; and a boardwalk area with arcade games, soft pretzels and other snacks, and live music. New this year is a classic roller skating rink, with a boathouse-style lodge with food and adult refreshments, a play zone for kids, and rocking chairs for taking in the action.
THE OVAL



The Oval, a pop-up park across from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, has typically offered a place to relax on colorful Adirondack chairs, play chess on a giant set, and sample offerings from food trucks while enjoying tunes from guest DJs. This year's edition will also feature the only North American stop for Future Sensations, a traveling exhibition marking the 350th anniversary of Saint-Gobain, one of the globe's biggest suppliers of building materials. The show, which runs from May 30 to June 6, consists of a series of temporary pavilions that will deploy digital, 3D technology under the themes of “Look,” “Listen,” “Color,” “Create,” and “The History and Future.” Meanwhile, The Oval will hold its regular schedule of movies, performances, and family events from July 14 through August 23.

MORGAN’S PIER



Morgan's Pier, a seasonal beer garden open through the fall, boasts prime views of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and the Delaware River from a sprawling wooden deck lined with picnic tables and colorful umbrellas. The spot takes its name from George C. Morgan, the first person to cross the bridge after it opened in 1926. This season, the kitchen is helmed by former “Top Chef” winner Nicholas Elmi, who will be serving his haute version of summer food—think citrus-poached peel-and-eat shrimp with Sriracha, a poutine of “dancing Tater tots,” and a fried clam roll with pickled ramp tartar sauce. Morgan's Pier is also offering Sunday brunch and weekday happy hour specials from a bar stocked with fourteen craft beers, custom cocktails, and a “nitro” coffee tap from locally based brewer La Colombe. Music includes DJ sets and an eclectic playlist of live performances.
INDEPENDENCE BEER GARDEN



Our forefathers back in 1776 debated the creation of the country behind closed doors at Philly'sIndependence Hall in the heat of early summer. Fortunately, visitors to the historic district today can quench their thirst in the much more welcoming surroundings of the Independence Beer Garden. Located across 6th Street from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, the beer garden boasts a sprawling 22,000-square-foot covered patio; a menu heavy on burgers, ribs, fried chicken, and other picnic fare from chef Michael Schulson; and a wide selection of craft beers and specialty cocktails, like the Cucumber Crush—gin, cucumber, and elderflower.
