Music, fashion and art shorten the days; open-heartedness, open-mindedness and open hands invite everything new, good and beautiful, which is sometimes written on paper, and sometimes drawn. Feet on the ground, head in the clouds.
The Baubax jacket is the "Swiss army knife" among jackets. Why? It is filled with fifteen functions that you wouldn't even think you could find in a jacket. The Baubax jacket was raised on Kickstarter as much as 6 million US dollars more than the goal, and what else would you expect when you find both a phone charger and a drink pocket in the jacket?!
Rarely do shoes fit our feet perfectly, and if they do, they are usually too expensive for many. The Italian shoe manufacturer, Vibram, better known for making military footwear, has found a solution: Furoshiki shoes, which are not put on, but literally wrapped around the foot.

The rich estate of the former French monarchy near Paris, with its luxurious palace and beautiful gardens, should soon have a luxury hotel. Tourists with some extra cash will thus get the chance to experience a royal overnight stay at the Palace of Versailles.
Tumblr account Butches And Babies ensures the general public gets a daily dose of cuteness — perhaps from a slightly unusual source at first glance. Butches And Babies is what the name suggests - photos of butch lesbians, or as we like to say, men, holding babies in their arms and cuddling them. But it's not just about cuteness, it's also about trying to make even those who don't conform to Western or hetero norms recognizable as moms.
At a time when few women have their own franchises, the women on the world's highest-paid actresses list are establishing themselves as women who can make their own movies without worry. Forbes has revealed its list of the highest-paid actresses in the world for 2015 - eighteen actresses earned a total of 281 million US dollars. The list includes those who earn at least 6 million US dollars annually. And who is the biggest earner this year?
Art is not just fairy-tale photographs of landscapes and fairy-tale portraits of people – it can also act as a catalyst for change. And Steve Cutts, with his socially critical art, more precisely with his illustrations, shows that we should change a lot of things in the world. Is our world really that sad?
Of Monster and Men, a five-member indie-folk/indie-pop band from Iceland that started their journey in 2010, is a bit more everyday Icelandic music export than we are usually used to. In their five years of existence, they have released two studio albums and the latter, Beneath The Skin (2015), is the one with which they embark on a tour. On November 9, they will also be available in Vienna.
Homegrown Slovenian rockers Mi2, who have been plowing the Slovenian musical wasteland for 20 years, will celebrate their venerable jubilee with a big concert on December 3 in Slovenia's Tivoli Hall with guests who will perform on the same stage in honor of the band. Mi2 called the event "Od Črtice do Čista jeba" because they started small and achieved great success on the Slovenian music scene.
