Bella Hadid Can't Stop Wearing Vivaia's Sneakerinas – Here's How To Style The Divisive Shoe
The more Bella Hadid steps out in sneakerinas, the less and less divisive the trend starts to look. It's a story as old as time: supermodels managing to make just about anything look appealing. With the ballet flat renaissance well and truly underway, 2025 was the year a less 'palatable' hybrid trainer version came into the mainstream. But, lest we forget, ugly shoes are fashion catnip. Soon this lovechild was influencing the shape of new sneaker drops and street style spotlights. Goodbye chunky soles and Triple S vibes, hello to the slimline silhouette we loved back in the Seventies, with sporty side stripes, suede uppers and featherweight serrated soles. There's a reason Puma Speedcats, adidas Sambas, Onitsuka Tigers and Miu Miu Plumes are having such a moment. Now, Vivaia has hopped on this bandwagon with a new take on its cult Cristina shoes. If the original design was delicate and balletic, crafted in lustrous satin and dyed in pastel hues, the new Yancy style is sportier than ever. Bella Hadid was spotted out in West Hollywood just this week modelling the creamy 'Natural' shade with tonal Jean Paul Gaultier jeans and a matching denim jacket. Made from padded Re-Nylon (that's recycled Nylon, for the non Prada-mad out there), the Vivaia Yancy has swooping overstitching and suede panelling, as well as a retro rounded toe. Unlike the candy-coloured Cristinas, this shoe comes in basic black, white, cream and a bold red. Of course this isn't the first time Bella has been spotted wearing Vivaia. In fact, the shoe brand has the model to thank for its sudden success. While, yes, the direct-to-consumer label has garnered a roster of celebrity fans – Selena Gomez, Julia Roberts, Alexa Chung and Katie Holmes, to name but a few – since its launch five years ago, in 2025 Vivaia entered the big leagues. When the Cristina sneakerina launched in February, it took less than a month for it to sell out – all thanks to Bella, who was seen wearing a a black pair with a Saint Laurent bag and wool overcoat in early March 2025. Two short weeks later and the Orabella founder was out in sneakerinas yet again: this time in New York, in Vivaia's ivory Cristina with capri leggings and a black Saint Laurent bomber. Cue another sell-out situation. Naturally, in April of this year, it was impossible to get your hands on a pair. But, luckily, Vivaia has kept the drops coming, with fresh new colourways landing all the time – namely butter yellow for summer and an on-trend burgundy to see you through the autumn season. We're big fans of the square-toed full vamp Cristina that Bella Hadid and Amelia Gray Hamlin own, but these shoes also come in a more balletic version, the Yanka, for the truly trainer-averse. Charli XCX has these lower-cut, rounded-toed sneakerinas in pink – she was seen wearing them at Glastonbury and out with friends in NYC. As a self-confessed trainer hater, my life changed the day Vivaia's Cristina sneakerinas landed on my desk. I find – believe it or not – classic trainers to be uncomfortable and I hate the silhouette they create. I was partial to a slim Nike Cortez once, but would rather opt for a heeled boot than ever wear a dress with trainers. Then, ballet flats returned and my feet were freed from their clip-clopping prison. However, there are some outfits that the classic ballet flat can easily take into 'twee' territory, and this is where the sneakerina really comes into its own. That injection of easy athleisure was just what my stripy Ganni midi needed to feel less mumsy (I am a mum, the fear is real), and suddenly my all-black outfits had a cherry on top in the form of low-key flats, not heels. You get the gist: sneakerinas are wearable. No one should be intimidated by this shoe. It goes just as well with an unabashedly girlish midi or mini (think Simone Rocha or Cecilie Bahnsen) as it does with streetwear or sleek Skims loungewear. And, as Bella has proven, it also goes particularly well with this season's favourite capri pant and a relaxed leather bomber (or any bomber jacket for that matter).

Osborne Mint Hosts Striking Ceremony for 2025 ANA Show Eagle Coin
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Osborne Mint in Cincinnati hosted a striking ceremony on July 23rd for the 2025 ANA Show Eagle coin, celebrating history, artistry, and numismatic tradition. This marks the second release in the acclaimed ANA Show Eagle series, which debuted at the 2024 World's Fair of Money. The event gathered an impressive roster of industry leaders and honored guests, including acclaimed designer Joel Iskowitz, American Numismatic Association President Tom Uram, Osborne Mint executives, and other dignitaries. Attendees were welcomed with light snacks and refreshments before embarking on a guided tour of Osborne Mint, offering an inside look at America's oldest private mint and its historic production process. Iskowitz, the artist behind both the 2024 and 2025 ANA Show Eagle coins, brought even more significance to the event. Widely regarded as one of the most celebrated names in coin design, he is known for blending historical depth with artistic excellence. After training at the School of Visual Arts and working at the Franklin Mint, he joined the U.S. Mint's Artistic Infusion Program in 2005. His work has since appeared on over 50 coins and medals, including the America the Beautiful Quarters and Presidential Dollars. Iskowitz also designed several Congressional Gold Medals and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II for British Commonwealth coinage. His initials appear on the coin. The day's highlight was the striking ceremony led by industry expert Chang Bullock, founder and President of Minted Assets. Guests in attendance witnessed 12 one-ounce silver coins being struck live on Osborne Mint's brand-new Sack and Kielsselbach MPP-250 hydraulic press. World-renowned mints across the globe rely on the Sack and Kiesselbach MPP-250 hydraulic press for its unmatched precision and consistency in producing high-quality numismatic coins. Osborne Mint proudly welcomed this state-of-the-art piece of equipment to enhance their existing capabilities in crafting silver and gold numismatics and collectibles with exceptional detail and artistry. The 2025 ANA Show Eagle honors Oklahoma City, host of this year's World's Fair of Money, featuring James Earle Fraser's iconic End of the Trail statue. A powerful symbol of Native American endurance and cultural heritage, the piece shares a historical connection with Fraser's beloved Buffalo Nickel, both of which are modeled after Chief John Big Tree. The coin's reverse pairs the End of the Trail with a soaring eagle, connecting it to the ANA Show Eagle series and celebrating the resilience of Native American culture. Fraser's profile is included alongside the design, grounding the piece in its artistic roots. The obverse features Nomisma, the classical Greek personification of money, holding the Oklahoma State quarter, which serves as this year's official ANA show logo. In a unique tribute to the quarter's designer, Susan Gamble's name replaces the date on this coin. The phrase E Pluribus Unum crowns the design, honoring both the nation's motto and the passion that unites collectors at the World's Fair of Money each year. The Ascension Island backed coins are minted in both gold and silver. The gold coin, with a denomination of $100, is crafted from 1 oz of 99.99% pure gold and is limited to just 100 pieces. The silver coin, with a $5 denomination, is struck from 1 oz of 99.9% pure silver and limited to 500 pieces. Following last year's debut coin featuring Chicago's Cloud Gate sculpture, demand for the 2025 ANA Show Eagle is already high. Collectors and history enthusiasts will find it a meaningful tribute to Oklahoma's cultural legacy and the enduring art of coinage.

From Abuse and Isolation to Love and Leadership, Entrepreneur Calvin Bagley Shares His Journey in New Memoir ‘Hiding from the School Bus'
LAS VEGAS, Nev., Aug. 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Born into poverty and hidden from the world, Calvin Bagley was never expected to succeed—let alone change the lives of tens of thousands of Americans. Bagley didn't just grow up poor—he grew up using an outhouse, forbidden to attend school, and completely cut off from the outside world. In his breathtaking new memoir, 'Hiding from the School Bus: Breaking Free from Control, Fear, Isolation and a Childhood without Education' (ISBN: 978-1-964377-81-0 [ebook]; 978-1-964377-87-2 [paperback]; 978-1-964377-88-9 [hardcover], Legacy Launch Pad Publishing), Bagley recounts how he went from total isolation and a childhood of neglect and abuse to becoming a wealthy entrepreneur, world traveler, devoted husband and father, and respected leader in the healthcare industry. Born in rural Utah as one of nine siblings, Calvin was raised in a deeply controlling environment where education was condemned, love was withheld, and children were forced into labor instead of learning. While other kids packed backpacks and rode school buses, Calvin was told that school was evil—and he hid, literally, from the bus every morning. The first time he ever stepped into a classroom was when he enrolled in college as an adult. Despite being denied a basic education, Calvin bravely asked to learn to read at age seven. Small acts of bravery and defiance like this continued to become his stepping stones for trying to break free from a life that held him down. Guided by a personal faith—one very different from the fear-based version used to control him—he set out to build a life of freedom and meaning. As a young man, he left the small, manipulated world his parents had created and served a mission in Brazil, where he encountered devastating poverty—but also discovered resilience, purpose, and human connection. He later worked as a flight attendant while living in Chicago, IL using his flight benefits to feed a lifelong hunger to see the world and figure out where he belonged in it. Eventually, Calvin made his way to Las Vegas, where he enrolled in college despite never having received any formal education. While working full-time, he took night classes and earned his bachelor's degree—a milestone that once seemed unimaginable. During this same period, he began working at a large financial institution, where he rose through the ranks to become an executive. It was also during college that he met and married the love of his life, Karissa. Today, they share a beautiful life with their two children and remain based in Las Vegas, NV. Now a successful entrepreneur, Calvin is the founder and president of Nuvo Health ( ), a national Medicare Field Marketing Organization (FMO) headquartered in Las Vegas, NV. He is also the visionary and founder behind Nuvo Wealth ( ),a wealth management company, and three consumer-facing Medicare assistance brands The Medicare Store ( ), Medicare Hub ( ), and PlanFit ( ). His Medicare companies have helped tens of thousands of Americans navigate the complexities of Medicare and health insurance, often recommending plans that don't even compensate his agency, simply because it's the right thing to do. Calvin also sits on committees and advisory councils in healthcare, invests in healthcare companies, such as Modus Laboratories ( ), advises other business leaders, and is considered a thought leader and sought-after motivational speaker on leadership and resilience, sharing his expertise nationwide to inspire others. Calvin has traveled to all 50 U.S. states and all seven continents. He's hiked a mountain in Antarctica, explored iconic landmarks across Europe, ridden camels by Egypt's pyramids, climbed to the top of Sydney's Harbour Bridge, paddled through sea waters in Thailand, roasted s'mores over a volcano in Guatemala, and zip-lined through jungle canopies in South America—all while visiting places he once traced on a map as a kid, never imagining—but always hoping—he'd one day see them with his own eyes. But his most profound transformation has been internal: from a boy who felt worthless and unloved to a man surrounded by love—from his wife and children, his friends, his employees, and the professionals who now turn to him for leadership, guidance, and friendship. 'Hiding from the School Bus' is not just a memoir—it's a declaration that where you start does not have to determine where you finish. Calvin Bagley's life is living proof that even the most painful beginnings can give rise to extraordinary purpose, success, and love. The book is available now in print and eBook formats through major retailers. (ISBN: 978-1-964377-81-0 [ebook]; 978-1-964377-87-2 [paperback]; 978-1-964377-88-9 [hardcover], Legacy Launch Pad Publishing.)

As the founder of Nuvo Health and several Medicare-focused brands, he has reshaped the Medicare landscape for tens of thousands of Americans.
