There’s a Shawn Mendes documentary coming to Netflix
Grammy-nominated singer Shawn Mendes is the subject of an upcoming documentary scheduled to land on Netflix on November 23. The film, titled In Wonder, is a portrait of the 22-year-old Canadian musician’s life, chronicling the past few years of his career and journey.

Emily Ratajkowski announced her debut book
Last month, model Emily Ratajkowski wrote an essay about body image, consent and image ownership that went viral. Now, she’s working on a whole book of essays about the same topics. “Thrilled and humbled to announce my book of essays entitled My Body will be published by Metropolitan Books @macmillanusa @henryholtbooks,” she shared via Instagram. “It’s surreal to be working with an imprint that has published so many writers I admire (Noam Chomsky! Edward Snowden!) Now it’s time to get to work!” The essays will focus on “what it means to be a woman and a commodity, how men treat women and why women permit it,” according to Metropolitan Books.

One Of A Kind announced an extended online show
Toronto’s beloved biannual One Of A Kind Show is taking its Winter event online this year with an extended two-month show. Celebrating Canada’s independent craft makers, the event is scheduled to run from October 22 to December 20 instead of the usual 11 days. “Our mission is to save our small business partners,” said Janice Leung, Show Director, in a release. “Understanding our artisans have seen a decline in sales due to COVID-19 and rely on face-to-face shows as their main source of income, we have created a platform to bring the show to life online; a space where artisans and consumers can foster connections essential to small business success.” In addition, One Of A Kind is giving away five scholarships to small business owners to support them in their time of need, in partnership with Duuo Insurance. Over 700 makers from across Canada will participate in the virtual Winter show, which will also offer online gift guides, DIY workshops, virtual studio tours and customized product recommendations.

And ICYMI, there are some great virtual events taking place Canada-wide this month and next, such as The 519’s first-ever virtual gala. Read about them here.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
