Mother’s Day Brunch Inspiration

MOMS! This year for Mother’s Day, grab a few of your #coolmom friends and host a Mom’s-Only-Brunch together. (No kids or dads allowed!) Keep the planning simple by splitting the responsibilities. Potlucks (or, better yet, catering!) are the ways to go. Get creative with the location: parks, rooftops, backyards, or pop up tables in expected locations make things feel special. Use a pile of citrus fruits and foraged vines as a centerpiece; it’s easy to pull together, but still feels beautiful. Today we partnered with Cricut to create stress-free party decorations and favors! (PS – We’re giving away TWO Cricut machines: one for you, one for mom!!! Read on below for details!)

Cricut helped us with all the little details that made this party special. We used ours to design handwritten place cards (which matched the citrusy party palette). You can upload your design to Cricut’s Design Space and then cut them out. Without a Cricut, these would’ve been impossible to create by hand.

For favors, we love the idea of setting up a DIY sugar scrub station, so guests can build their own. Use a simple font template to cut out letters from sticker paper. Then, it’s easy to attach the letters to the side of simple glass jars. To make the experience even more customizable, set the Cricut out at the party so guests can cut out their own sticker design! This rose gold Cricut is so pretty, it’ll match perfectly with the party decor!

For this project, we used Cricut’s new Maker machine. It cuts everything: paper, fabric, leather, and balsa wood (what!). This model makes throwing a DIY party a million times easier. Want to try this machine for yourself? Today, we’re giving not one, but TWO away!!!! Click here to visit our Instagram page, read about the contest, and enter to win! Good luck!

Contemporary Chinese Cinema: Shunji Iwai’s Letters from Shanghai

Contemporary Chinese Cinema  is a column devoted to exploring contemporary Chinese-language cinema primarily as it is revealed to us at North American multiplexes. The sneakiest major release of the year is surely the latest from Japanese director Shunji Iwai, whose new movie opens this Friday at a dozen multiplexes around North America courtesy of the distributor China Lion Film. Last Letter is Iwai’s first film made in China, and stars Zhou Xun, who starred in one of last year’s best films, Ann Hui’s Our Time Will Come , which was also distributed here by China Lion. That he would be working in a new country is no surprise: Iwai is one of the more eclectic filmmakers of his generation: having started in TV and video in the early 90s before moving into film, he’s since made documentaries and music videos, science fiction films and anime, epics of modern alienation and ravishingly romantic odes to the wonders of youth and love. His last film, Chang-ok’s Letter , was an hour-long...

Incandescent indie, reflective hip-hop, jangly post-punk and more genre-bending tunes from the week Juletta + Ishan: Gut Feeling Juletta + Ishan’s “Gut Feeling” is best described through its beautiful contradictions: haunting and luminescent, smooth and uneasy, buoyant and weighty. Written and produced by both artists, the track appears on the NYC-based duo’s debut album, If I Never Hit Land (out this Friday), which is based … COOL HUNTING® https://ift.tt/35p5Vqj October 18, 2020 at 01:03PM

House music for those missing the sweaty dance floor, psych-tinged lounge, industrial electro-pop and more new music Solomun: Home From Hamburg-based DJ and producer Solomun (aka Mladen Solomun), sweeping house track “Home” exists as an ode to the “sacred rooms” that were built for music. For those yearning for a sweaty, dark dance floor, this nostalgic and atmospheric banger offers some satisfaction—albeit in your own … COOL HUNTING® https://ift.tt/3dWfZe1 October 25, 2020 at 01:03PM
