The heel is also designed not to give you blisters, so you can actually wear these without hobbling in pain by the end of the day. A pair of Frye-inspired boots with a square toe if you're looking to add "trendiest dresser" to your list of skills on your resume.

Basically, they're your new go-to for any event where showing up and showing out is required.

They're handmade in Mexico with 100% leather, so these beauties mold to your feet with each wear. It'll leave you with a pair that's not just comfy, but also uniquely yours! A pair of braided sandals designed with premium nylon to help reduce rubbing blisters, so you won't be questioning all your life choices after a day on your feet.

A pair of anti-slip Bow mules reviewers say are perfect for dressing up for both fancier events (like a summertime wedding) or dressing down for something more casual. The soft flannel upper and surprisingly comfy sole make them ideal for when you want to look cute without committing to sky-high heels. Steve Madden chunky sneakers if you miss your old Fila phase but want to elevate it a bit. They've got the same bold vibe with a serious height boost, tons of comfort, and the versatility to match any trendsetting outfit. Sure, you'll post them on the 'gram, but don't be surprised if they become your everyday go-to. They're too stylish not to! A pair of leather sandals to give yourself some serious nostalgia for the ones you wore as a kid. Except these are way softer, comfier, and a whole lot chicer. The pillowy sole is so comfortable, you'll want to walk for days... don't say we didn't warn you. 👀 You, getting ready to jump for the Golden Goose-inspired sneakers: Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

A cozy blanket inspired by Taylor Swift's surprise song piano from The Eras Tour.

Snuggling up with this blanket while watching the concert film (and waiting for the release of The Life of a Showgirl...)

A photo print appropriate for hanging above the spot in your home where you and your BFF love to yap. It's not your fault you have a lot of gossip to share, life lore to impart, and complaints to get off your chest!!!

That's what I call picture perfect. 📷 Custom photo magnets for a more polished way to display mems on your fridge than flimsy photo prints barely holding on for dear life from plastic magnets you found at the dollar store a few years ago. A Y2K-inspired punch needle coaster because if your coasters look this cool, then your friends and family *may* just be more inclined to actually use one for their drinks. Now the question many will you buy and which ones will you choose?! An insulated tumbler to keep the drink of the summer (IMHO, year) nice and cold as you take your sweet time sipping on it. May not be sitting in the Italian countryside with a bowl of freshly made pasta to accompany it, so my pool in the suburbs and a Kraft Easy Mac cup will have to do. A pair of bubble and wand earrings that may just transport you back to the glory days of spending hours outside trying to blow a bigger bubble than the last — without the soapy mess, of course. If you're looking to boost your ego and fish for some compliments on a given day, these are your ticket!

The Cuba Libre – a World-Famous Cocktail That Originated With BACARDÍ Rum
Part cocktail, part rallying-cry, the story behind the original Cuba Libre cocktail is preserved in the Bacardi Archives and can be traced back to a celebratory moment in Cuban history at the end of the Spanish-American war. American soldiers stationed in Cuba – birthplace of BACARDÍ – brought Coca-Cola® with them for a taste of home which, soon became an island favorite soft drink. One August day in 1900, while celebrating Cuba's victory at The American Bar in Havana, a U.S. Army Signal Corps captain decided to ask the bartender for his favorite Cuban BACARDÍ Rum mixed with Coca-Cola® and the squeeze of a fresh lime, sparking interest among others bar patrons. Soon the entire bar was drinking this enticing, new combination. The captain proposed a toast of '¡Por Cuba libre!' (For a free Cuba!) ─ a phrase exclaimed frequently by Cuban revolutionaries and Americans soldiers. The name caught on, and stuck. The cocktail soon spread beyond Cuba to become an international hit, beloved for its simplicity and refreshing taste. 'A favorite among both bartenders and consumers alike, few rum cocktails have been able to stand the test of time like the Cuba Libre,' said Dickie Cullimore, Global Brand Ambassador for BACARDÍ. 'It's easy to master the Cuba Libre and make it your own. By simply combining just three ingredients – the world's most awarded rum brand, the world's favorite cola brand and a squeeze of fresh lime – a delicious taste of cocktail history is available at your fingertips at virtually any bar, anywhere, and even at home.' The Cuba Libre cocktail was itself a product of a revolution in rum-making. In 1862, in Santiago de Cuba, Don Facundo Bacardí Massó developed BACARDÍ, the world's first smooth light-bodied spirit. Designed to be the ultimate mixing spirit, as it never dominates or dilutes the taste of the drink, BACARDÍ rum inspired the creation of other legendary cocktail recipes like the authentic Mojito, the original Daiquirí, and the Piña Colada. For more than 163 years, through seven generations of Don Facundo's descendants, family-owned Bacardi has focused on innovation, consistency, quality, taste and excellence in rum-making. Today, sipping this cocktail made with two iconic drinks brands still summons the same feelings of celebration, liberation and national pride as it did in 1900. In fact, the Rum & Coke® remains one the most ordered drinks worldwide, claiming the #6 spot on the 2025 Bacardi Cocktail Trends Report. More than a century after the Cuba Libre's origins, Bacardi and Coca-Cola® continue their relationship and in 2025 launched BACARDÍ & Coca-Cola® Ready-to-Drink pre-mixed canned cocktails currently rolling out across the world. To make the perfect Cuba Libre cocktail and take your drink beyond a Rum and Coke®, remember the squeeze of fresh lime makes all the difference. Original BACARDÍ Cuba Libre 2 oz BACARDÍ Gold® rum4 oz Coca-Cola® (bottled)2 lime wedgesIce cubes Fill a highball glass with cubed ice. Squeeze juice of fresh lime wedges into the glass and then drop lime wedge rinds directly into the glass. Pour in BACARDÍ Gold rum and top with chilled Coca-Cola®, ideally bottled. Stir gently and enjoy responsibly. BACARDÍ, ITS TRADE DRESS AND THE BAT DEVICE ARE TRADEMARKS OF BACARDI & COMPANY LIMITED. COCA-COLA AND COKE ARE TRADEMARKS OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY. PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY. Visit 3BL Media to see more multimedia and stories from Bacardi-Martini, Inc.
