CB2 x Fred Segal Debut New Fantastic Furniture Collaboration Today

In the interior design world, we freely admit that inspiration for home trends often comes from fashion. That there is a strong relationship between the two industries is obvious when you think about it. Style-conscious people want equally stylish homes. Collaborations between fashion designers and furniture companies is nothing new. But when celebrity-favorite, laid back LA fashion hot spot Fred Segal decided to branch out into home decor – something truly special was created. Partnering up with CB2, a whole new collection has been created and it’s exactly what your home has been craving.

Launching this month, the CB2 x Fred Segal line beautifully blends the relaxed California vibe of Fred Segal with the thoughtful nod to mid-century modern we all know and love from CB2. The collection has everything your home could need, right down to a stylish tape dispenser. Each piece in the collection is such a beautiful, seamless blend of both companies, you wonder why they didn’t join up sooner.

A trend setter in fashion, Fred Segal keeps it up with this new line for the home. They kept the classic, modern-lined furniture CB2 is known for and redesigned it with today’s hottest materials and finishes, like the Silas Barstool which features a woven natural rattan seat. The collection also shows us that what’s old is new again with the Acrylic Coffee Table with Storage – a beautifully simple wood storage box that sits inside of an acrylic frame. Acrylic was hot in the 60’s and it’s made a big comeback in 2017.

Brass is also big this year and this CB2 x Fred Segal collaboration shows us why. With it’s deep hue and rich shine, brass is a perfect accent metal for a sophisticated masculine look. This line features a complete office set all in solid brass. From the aforementioned tape dispenser to a letter box and even a pair of rulers, the set has everything you need for a sleek and stylish office space.

Of course no Fred Segal home decor line would be complete without a few whimsical pieces and this line delivers. From the Pop Art Mirror shaped like a rainbow to the Fresh Cut Side Table with a pineapple-shaped base to the surprisingly elegant Ocean Palm Floor Lamp with globe lights that resemble coconuts – these pieces bring a California surfer vibe to the collection. Neon lights are still a big trend in home decor and Fred Segal’s motto “love one another” is represented in their white neon heart-shaped wall light.

The CB2 x Fred Segal collection is available starting August 3rd and can be found in CB2 stores or online at CB2.com.

Reacher season 3: Everything we know so far
Get up to date on Reacher season 3!
Alan Ritchson in Reacher.

The era of Jack Ryan may be over, but Reacher is carrying on as one of the best shows on Amazon Prime Video. This action thriller is based upon Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels, which previously featured Tom Cruise in the leading role of two different movies. But for Prime Video, Alan Ritchson has stepped into the role of Jack Reacher, a former member of the United States Army Military Police Corps who drifts from town to town and takes justice into his own hands when the local law enforcement isn't enough.

Prime Video didn't waste any time before renewing Reacher for a third season last year. And while new episodes are still several months away, we're sharing everything we know about Reacher season 3.
Which Reacher novel will season 3 be based on?

The 11 best superhero movies of all time
Here's a short list to start your superhero movie binge
Tom Hardy and Christian Bale in The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Need a break from real life? Here's a list of the best superhero films to binge. Choosing the best superhero films of all time is no easy task. Ask any fan of superheroes, whether it's the comics or films, and you're guaranteed to get a different list every time. Share your list with others, and the responses will include either nods of agreement, raised eyebrows, or blunt responses that you're dead wrong.
In compiling the list of best superhero films of all time, I tried to keep viewers of all ages and devotion to superhero cinema in mind. My original plan was to include Deadpool on the list until I realized there's an entire generation of movie fans still not allowed to watch the film because of its R-rating. The LEGO Batman Movie also appeared in my initial top choices, but the film felt out of place compared to the other films. (I still recommend LEGO Batman to everyone because it's darn hilarious.) Full disclosure: This list might change as we add and subtract films as they premiere and earn their spot on the list.
After much internal debate, I finally drilled down 11 superhero movie choices for both Marvel and D.C. with personal reasons for each selection. While thousands of fans likely won't agree with this list, few will argue that all these films are fantastic and worth multiple viewings. That said, here's my list of the best superhero movies of all time and where to watch them. Many are available on Disney Plus and Amazon Prime for your viewing for your convenience. Spoilers ahead.

How long should you let new cigars rest in a humidor?
Cigar humidor

Looking at those beautiful, oily cigars you've just unboxed or unwrapped, the calling to light up is real. I get it. I always want to smoke my cigars right away, too. But you shouldn't. Mail day is always exciting after you've ordered a slew of new cigars. When they arrive, the real fun begins. You'll probably need to organize your humidor to make the new sticks fit or arrange them for optimal humidification. As you're handling them, it's difficult to resist the temptation to crack open the cellophane or boxes and smoke one right away. While you can do that in most cases, I would recommend against it. Depending on where those cigars came from, where you live, and how they traveled, they might need a little time to rest in a humidor. They'll need to replenish some humidity and moisture or dry out a little.
How long should you let your new cigars rest?

When you put cigars in a humidor, especially one that's filled, they'll soak up and release humidity over time until they reach the average RH (relative humidity) that you have set inside your humidor. If you have a device like a that does this automatically, it will produce moisture and humidity to keep the levels optimal. You can also achieve the same thing with in smaller humidors, which release and soak up the humidity to match the levels on the label. Boveda packs come in a range of RH levels, from the low to mid-60s to the mid-70s.
