It’s a cold day in October, the day before Tell Me A Story’s premiere party. Danielle Campbell is already seated at a table in The Crosby Bar —inside New York City’s Crosby Street Hotel— against a wall of floor-to-ceiling, warehouse-style windows that overlooks a private courtyard, when I walk in. The chic restaurant boasts robust splashes of color — in their mélange of pendant lighting, furniture, and wall art— and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Over the last ten years, the ambitious 23-year-old has graced the small screen on hit series including, Prison Break, The Originals, Famous in Love; amassed 3.1 million followers on Instagram; and been the envy of many for dating One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson. With every role Danielle steps into, her star ascends to greater heights, alerting more and more of her natural talent and mesmerizing beauty. Today, the diminutive actress is outfitted in all black –a turtleneck and jeans— aside from the slate-blue fedora atop her head and striped scarf looped around her neck. Danielle bears a striking resemblance to a young Angelina Jolie fused with Katie Holmes. Unquestionably gorgeous, her face straddles the line between innocent and sultry —with those steely green eyes and bee-stung pout— making her the perfect choice to play the fiery Kayla, aka Little Red Riding Hood, in Tell Me A Story. Created by Kevin Williamson, best known for Dawson’s Creek, The Vampire Diaries, and Scream, Tell Me A Story is a new CBS All Access original series based off the Mexican crime drama, Érase una vez. “Ours is a lot different from theirs though.” A psychological thriller with fairytale elements, also starring Kim Cattrall, James Wolk, and Dania Ramirez, the show is nothing like ABC’s Once Upon A Time as there are no supernatural aspects to it. Tell Me A Story is based in modern-day New York City and follows the intertwined lives of the Three Little Pigs, a trio of pig-masked bank robbers; Hansel and Gretel, a figuratively lost brother and sister; and Little Red Riding Hood, who lives with her grandmother, portrayed by Kim Cattrall [“Which is amazing to be in New York City with her! It’s awesome. She’s been amazing to work with,” Danielle shares.]. However, in this tale, Red isn’t as innocent as you remember. “You see the red cape come out in different ways. She’s angry and she’s almost the wolf in some matters. New York is kind of a very dangerous place for all these characters, but it’s really interesting. I think that a lot of people are going to gravitate to it.” And don’t expect your typical ending. “Kevin does a great job at keeping you on the edge of your seat.” Fraught with drama, excitement, unexpected twists and turns, each episode has you wondering, what’s going to happen next? Though Danielle never aspired to be an actress as a child, she immediately developed an affinity for show business. “I fell in love with the camera and being on set with people. We were shooting in a prison, which was the coolest thing to a 10-year-old. It was really amazing,” she recollects about her debut role on Prison Break. Growing up, Danielle’s family (her father is in real estate and her mother is in interior design) lived everywhere from Illinois (where she was born) to Singapore and Southeast Asia to New Jersey, then back to Chicago. While back in her home state, she was discovered by an agent while in a beauty salon with her mother. “I was obnoxiously talking to everyone in the salon and someone asked if I would take a meeting with their agency.” She credits her gregarious nature to her early exposure to different cultures and countries. “I think that forced my brother [Jay] and I to kind of talk with people a lot and be used to new people and cultures.” Navigating high school was something else though. Right before the start of her freshman year, Danielle flew to Los Angeles to film Disney’s TV movie, StarStruck. By the time she returned to Chicago, the school year was halfway through and everyone was already acquainted. “I was kinda known as the girl that weirdly was not there because I had been shooting, so I was very quiet in high school, much more so than I am now, mostly because I didn’t want the added attention that I already knew came with acting.” However, Danielle is grateful that her parents didn’t take her out of school. “I loved my friends that I grew up with and my teachers really, really helped. Honestly, I’m kinda surprised that it went as smoothly as it did, ’cause it could’ve been a lot more difficult — I’ve heard stories.” The summer before high school ended, Danielle jetted off to Atlanta to shoot the pilot for The Originals, a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries. “That was my college experience, so to speak,” she says with a laugh. Set in New Orleans, The CW series followed Klaus —the most powerful immortal, supernatural being in The Vampire Diaries and The Originals universe— and his family. “I played Davina, who was a witch in the French Quarter. I had some of the best memories shooting on that show. I did about three seasons fully and then went back for episodes through the fifth season. I’m still really close with all the cast, the creators. And Atlanta was a blast to shoot in.” The Originals went on for five seasons and aired it’s series finale this past April. Danielle’s phone rings, putting our conversation on a brief hold. It’s Jay, Danielle’s younger brother, who just arrived in New York City from Los Angeles to accompany her to the premiere party. She gives him directions, then returns to our chat. Childhood anecdotes are injected throughout our conversation, illustrating the siblings’ close bond. With Christmas (Danielle’s favorite holiday) a few weeks away, I ask about her upcoming plans and traditions. “When I was really young, we used to go out to Utah and go snowboarding and spend it with my mom’s side. Over the last couple of years, we’ve either been in my parents’ house in Chicago or back in Utah. I love being in the mountains and I love the snow —those are some of the biggest traditions, just on that end. We always do a massive dinner for Christmas Eve and a massive dinner for Christmas.” The Campbells love to cook, and playfully compete against one another in the kitchen. “I’m looking forward to making chocolate soufflé at home for Christmas — that’s one of our other traditions. Two years ago, my brother and I and my grandmother and my mom, we did two different teams for making soufflés. My brother and I made the better one, for sure! Theirs deflated. It was a proud moment for us,” she beams with a smile. So, what’s the secret to soufflés? “I think it’s not over whisking it, it makes it too dense and then it collapses, whereas you want it light and fluffy.” I reference Because I Said So’s memorable soufflé scene. “I love that movie. It’s a sign that she wasn’t with the right guy! I remember the first time my mom and I watched that in a hotel, I think we were in Los Angeles for pilot season. My mom would always come with me when I was really young to do auditions. We were in tears laughing —it was so funny.” Today, Danielle lives in Los Angeles —when she isn’t on location shooting. In 2018, her acting career had her living in Boston, Los Angeles, Texas, and New York City for the last six months while filming Tell Me A Story. “It’s been amazing being here in New York while it’s starting to get cold. I love the cold. I love seasons, which you don’t get in L.A. as much. It’s nice ’cause in Tell Me A Story, it was really important to them to be shooting in New York. New York really feels like it’s a character in the story because we’re shooting all over. We’re shooting in Brooklyn, we’re shooting in lower Manhattan, we’re shooting on the Upper East Side. You get to see the places that you would know New York for being.” New York has also served as the beautiful backdrop for Danielle’s photography — a hobby she picked up, along with painting, a few years ago. The camera resting beside her Collins glass of club soda on our table often accompanies her when she’s out and about as she enjoys photographing moving subjects and settings. “Being in New York, it’s been a blast because people are moving constantly and there’s so many different beautiful buildings and artwork all over the place. I went on one of the dinner boat cruises the other night, around the Statue of Liberty with some friends, the lighting was so beautiful that you didn’t need to capture the sunset ’cause everything was a movement. It looked beautiful because of the glow that was everywhere.” She adds that festivals and concerts, in particular, are ideal places to take photographs since people aren’t standing around posing. “I like taking more of the candid-type pictures that are truly candid, instead of like, OK, pose candid! Y’know what I mean? Ready? Laugh! I’m really good at those by the way, which is not something I’m proud of,” she says with a smile. As for painting, Danielle is still figuring that medium out, experimenting with brush strokes and how different colors blend together. “I’m not at all a good painter. I just enjoy it and it relaxes me. Sometimes I’ll just start painting and see what it turns into. You know when you look at a cloud and you’re kinda watching it and you think of what it looks like, and then it starts to change, and it looks like something else? That’s kinda what happens sometimes when I’m painting. Most of the time it looks like something very abstract.” Other times, she’s happily surprised with how it turns out. Many of her paintings are just hanging out in her room, not quite finished yet. “I have a hard time finishing things sometimes,” she confesses. “Sometimes, I get so excited about the next idea, and that’s really been a thing for me to do with painting. It helps me finish something too and have something to show for it, which has been a lot of fun.” Danielle hasn’t really posted her art on social media, so these creative hobbies might surprise her 3.1-million followers —or so she thinks [the aforementioned hobbies were her answer to: What might fans be surprised to find out about you?]. Danielle’s popular Instagram page features a collection of images — her travels, career highlights, events, tender moments with family and friends — that illuminate her free spirit and adventurous sense of style. Do you work with a stylist or is what’s featured a combination of your stuff and theirs? “Combination of all, I think what stylists and fashion designers do—I think of fashion as art. I love fashion. Clothes are great; they’re expressive,” Danielle says passionately. She describes her style as ever-changing. Sometimes she feels like wearing sweatpants or jeans and a tee or a dress with cute heels —it really just depends on how she feels that day. “Fashion is about confidence, whatever you feel good in at the moment, and it’s allowed to change. People get really caught up in needing to say that they’re this type of person. Literally, they’ll say, ‘Oh, I don’t do that, I only wear vintage.’ I don’t want to pigeonhole myself.” Danielle plays by her own rules, and this upcoming year, she wants to make sure she takes full advantage of all that comes her way. 2018 was a “really, really great year” for her, but she’s looking forward to 2019. As for New Year’s resolutions, she resolves to keep saying yes to things and to not overthink it. “It’s really easy to say you’re going to try and do that, but then the more that comes up, you’re kind of just like, ‘I’m tired, it’d be so much easier to do this tomorrow,’ and that’s normally me. But I think this year, I want to just say, ‘yes,’ and just try. I need to be picky ’cause I can’t overdo it or I’ll get sick. I’m going to push myself a bit more. I think that’s what every year is for, to push yourself.” Words by Vanessa Pascale Photographer: Tiziano Lugli Makeup: Dillon Peña Hair: Bradley Leake Styling: Keneé & D’Shaunte Don’t miss Tell Me A Story, currently streaming on CBS’ premium streaming service, CBS All Access, and keep up with Danielle on Instagram: @TheDanielleCampbell and Twitter: @DanielleMCam

The Carryall 40L duffel bag is quickly recognizable as part of the Douchebags family, and it retains the quality look and feel of its brothers and sisters from the Norwegian company. The requisite DB materials, stylings, and hardware are all on display in this do-it-all duffel. The rectangular, boxy duffel forgoes the classic end-to-end shoulder strap, instead opting for two full-sized, fully padded backpack-style shoulder straps. This makes the Carryall very comfortable wearing on the back when not held at the side using the bag’s handles. The shoulder straps are essentially on the ‘top’ of the bag, and can be tucked in the bag where they are easy to overlook. As a nifty little trick, the hand grips can also be stashed away, in a matter of sorts, by shortening the straps from the interior of the bag. The handles are still present on the outside of the bag, but they are snug to the rest of the bag, and don’t dangle all over the place. It’s a pretty stealthy treatment of all the exterior straps that can otherwise get in the way or get caught on things. The bag itself is made of 600D polyester and 500D TPE materials, giving it a very thick, almost rubberized feel. These materials are strong and durable, ensuring the Carryall can withstand a lot of use in unforgiving conditions. If you’ve seen any other products from Douchebags, the materials and overall look fit right in. There are three main compartments in the Carryall 40L. An end, or top compartment, depending on how it’s being carried, is great for quick access to your everyday carry items. Passports, phones, tickets, headphones, and sunglasses will all be right at home here. At the opposite end is a shoe compartment, especially useful if the Carryall is to be your go-to gym bag. The shoe compartment separates stinky shoes from the main compartment via a free-floating liner. As such, it can be ignored if you’d rather save the space for the main compartment. The main compartment is accessed under a three-sided, fully zipped rectangular main opening, and features two mesh pockets on the sides of the otherwise wide open interior. It’s 40 liter capacity is plenty of space for a long weekend trip or a trip to the gym. When not loaded with your favorite gear, the Carryall maintains its wide shape fairly well. This certainly seems like more of a travel bag you want to show off, and less of a bag you’ll stash under your bed when not in use. The thermal formed ballistic bottom will last forever, and it features the unique Douchebags coupling system, allowing easy integration into the rest of the product line. Versatile as ever, the Carryall 40L is a great choice as your first foray with Douchebags or to add to your growing collection. For more information, visit: www.douchebags.com Story by Thomas Bender

Every closet should have at least one duffel bag that can tackle a lot of life’s quick getaways, and the Transit Drifter Duffel from HEX is just such a bag. It’s simple, but effective, providing just what you need from a 31L shoulder carry duffel bag. The spacious main compartment can carry more than you’d think. Two internal pockets provide options for some organization, but if you’re anything like me you’ll just be stacking up your clothes inside the spacious main compartment. An exterior side pocket is the only other compartment, but this one is lined with faux fur, creating the perfect nest for your screened device (i.e. no scratches on your phone in this bad boy). The best part about the Transit Drifter Duffel is its jet black neoprene construction. It almost feels like a wetsuit, and provides durability for its frequent use while also being soft and collapsible when you just need to throw it in your closet.

Dainese has been protecting motorcyclists since 1972, and this year they are celebrating that fact with their fashion-forward Settantadue collection. Settantadue, which means 72 in Italian, features several jackets, boots, pants, and gloves sourced from various leathers for a classic, timeless look and feel. The Patina72 Leather Jacket represents the pinnacle of the collection and is a notable achievement for the brand. Upon first feel, the Patina72 oozes luxury. The smell and touch of the jacket instantly reflect the premium materials and finish on offer. The soft, drum-dyed 1.3mm cowhide leather feels great to run your hands across, and will surely develop that signature leather patina that captures the unique stories of every rider. For that reason, each Patina72 is a one-of-a-kind, and will develop into a personal product with its own look and personality. Beyond the look and feel of the leather, it’s color is also striking. The dark burgundy cordovan coloring doesn’t necessarily translate in pictures or online, but is rich and pleasing in person. It’s a nice change from brown and black leathers that does just enough to stand out in a crowd without calling attention. The Patina72 features large, fitted cuts of leather, with minimal paneling and stitching as a result. This is a premium feature, and helps enhance the elegant design. Even the patchwork on the elbows is generous and simple. The back is an exercise is simplicity, with two long, wide panels running the length of the jacket and little else. To maintain the clean lines and high-end look, Dainese branding is almost non-existent. A small, hard black patch on the left shoulder easily blends in, and a single logo is featured on one side of the main zipper. Speaking of zippers, the hardware featured in the Patina72 is a step above the rest. Every zipper is a gold, heavy gauge affair. That includes the main front zipper, two waist pockets, two smaller chest pockets, and zippers up each wrist to accommodate gloves. Dainese made sure that the expandable material at each wrist is still the same high quality cowhide leather. On the inside of the coat is a premium silk liner designed by New York artist Othelo Gervacio, featuring his trademark floral medium over a black and white checkered background. It’s a very cool touch that continues this jacket’s climb to the next level. Hidden among the premium leather and custom silk print is Dainese’s new molecular Pro-Armor protection plates. Small, discrete Velcro pockets at the interior of each elbow and shoulder hold removable, lightweight plating. The Pro-Armor plating is ‘fractal inspired’ and has a ton of cut-outs to alleviate weight without compromising on protection. The plates are certified to European safety standards. Additionally, the Patina72 features a back pocket for a G1 or G2 back protector, which most serious cyclists will want to add. The jacket’s Italian origins are on display in a thin, minimal piece of hardware that sits right below the collar under the zipper. These origins also dictate the sizing, which runs a little snug and more ‘European;’ of course, the beauty of such a high grade leather product is that it will break in while its worn, so a snug fit is nothing to worry about at first. The Patina72 is suitable for riding most of the year, and with the optional removal of the Pro-Armor, becomes a very fashionable leather jacket in its own rite. You don’t need a bike to leave your own patina on this timeless celebration of classic leather design. The price tag may seem a bit steep, but this is a leather product of the highest caliber, built to last a lifetime. From the bike to the spotlight, the Patina72 is the pinnacle of Dainese’s vision.

As one of the last metal sunglasses manufacturers in the United States, Randolph takes pride not only in their product, but also in their story. Founded by two immigrants, the rigorous quality standards of Randolph Engineering attracted the eye of the US Government, whom they have been contracting for since 1978. Fighter pilots trust Randolph, and you can, too. The Randolph take on the Aviator is somehow unique, traditional, and modern all at once. They are more square in shape than most mainstream, fashion-only aviators, and in turn end up fitting the contours of your face. They sit decently high up on the nose, and won’t brush your cheeks, except during your widest of smiles. They fit comfortably while eliminating most gaps for sunlight to sneak through—if you’ve ever found yourself squinting behind a pair of aviators like I have, you’ll quickly appreciate just how good the coverage is on the Randolph Aviators. Of course, the year is 2018, so there are plenty of ways to customize your pair of Aviators. The all-metal frame options range from 22K rose gold to matte black, and you can choose a traditional ‘skull’ temple or a ‘bayonet’ style that looks particularly fashionable. The bayonet style was invented for pilots to easily slide the glasses on and off under their helmets and headgear. For the rest of us, it helps when wearing these Aviators with headphones or a hat! Randolph also offers 19 different lens styles, including six polarized options. Thankfully, each lens type comes with some very helpful information to help you craft the perfect pair (for instance—“Our relaxing AGX green tint filters out colors that are fatiguing to the eye and provides exceptional color contrast for crisp viewing. Brightens shadows and reduces glare.”). The lens options are a mix of both real glass and polycarbonate—spring for the glass lenses if you can. I think these frames are deserving of something a little flashy, so I opted for 23K gold plated bayonet frames with gray polarized glass lenses, and they look fantastic. Each pair of Aviators is labeled with the Randolph name in the top left corner of the lenses, as well as a “RE” stamp on the temple. The care and quality materials ultimately shine through, resulting in a sophisticated, sturdy, no nonsense pair of sunglasses on any face. You’ll notice that the glass lenses and all-metal construction make the Randolph Aviators nearly indestructible, and also a fairly heavy pair of eyewear. Thankfully, the weight doesn’t translate to discomfort or fatigue over longer periods—just ask the military. You probably won’t be wearing these on your next run, but they are certainly suitable for an active lifestyle. Even with the bayonet frames, I have had no problems with the Aviators falling or slipping. The hand-crafted process most likely means that you won’t need any adjustments when you take them out of the box, but if you do, the nose pads are fully adjustable. Each pair of Randolph Aviators also comes with a repair kit that includes extra screws, nose pads, and even a screwdriver! These accoutrements live in a small Velcro pocket inside the luxurious leather carrying case that comes with each pair. The case itself speaks to the high quality standards of Randolph, and is something you won’t necessarily get with other pairs of shades. I felt particularly good about traveling with my Randolph’s thanks to the hard shelled case. History aside, the Randolph Aviators are some of the finest consumer-friendly sunglasses I’ve worn. Consider the military heritage and 45 year handcrafted history, and it's no wonder. Their pricing is competitive with a lot of other sunglasses which lack the quality construction and attention to detail, making them a top choice for your next pair of serious sunglasses.

Emilia Taneva, a beautiful Bulgarian import, has managed to organically amass a whopping 655K+ Instagram followers at her handle @bubbly.moments in just a year and a half! Her luxury lifestyle blog by the same name is also exploding, leading major corporate sponsors from Clinique and Olay, to Pantene, Macy's and FabFitFun to line up to work with her. Turning her passion for travel into her own cottage industry, Taneva has circled the globe in rarefied luxury, chronicling her adventures draped in the latest fashion and accessories. What's more impressive, is that she has managed to accomplish this in parallel to a thriving career as an orthodontist and expert on dental genetics. Originally a successful dentist in her native, Bulgaria, Taneva came to the United States on a student visa to get her orthodontics degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Along the way, she fell deeply in love with her now husband, and her brand Bubbly Moments was born out of the pair's penchant for romantic globetrotting. In this interview, Emilia Taneva shares her story and her well-honed tips for achieving superstar blogger and social media status. Interview By Allison Kugel Allison Kugel: When you got your student visa to come to the states to study dentistry, had you also set your sites on being an entrepreneur and social media influencer, or did that come after? Emilia Taneva: That came later on. I came here to study orthodontics. I was already a dentist in my native, Bulgaria. About three years ago, my husband and I were traveling a lot and I had a lot of content that I realized I could use. Traveling was always one of my passions. I saw other people doing their blogs and realized that I could turn this into a brand and make it a source of income. At the time I was following a few bloggers, namely, @nomadicmatt and @theblondeabroad. I was focused on the website first and then came Instagram. AK: How did you put your team together to build and optimize your blog, BubblyMoments.com? ET: I have website design experience going back many years, so I was able to do everything myself. I've built other websites in the past, and I love the technical part of working on my website. I studied, I Googled and I read a lot of manuals about SEO. It's a field that is changing constantly, so I am always brushing up on the latest trends and methods. AK: People want to know how you managed to grow your Instagram following to over 650K followers in such a short period of time. What's your secret? ET: It's important to have a niche when you are first building your following. Figure out what you are passionate about. Is it beauty, fashion, food, travel? Invest a great deal of time. I spend 4 or 5 hours per day just reviewing photos that are going to be published on Instagram, and I invested my own finances to build this brand. Just like with any other brand or business, if you want it to be successful, you have to treat it like a business and put in the time. After your following grows you can expand and start posting images that reflect other parts of your life and other interests. AK: Instagram seems to be your main stage. Is that true? ET: It's never a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket. Focus on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and your own website; not just Instagram. Try to publish similar content on all of your platforms. Pinterest is its own animal and I spend a lot of time on it as well. The content that is being published on Pinterest requires different image sizing and lots of overlaid text. I use Pinterest quite a bit to drive traffic to my website. AK: How do you keep your engagement so high? Do you have any trade secrets you'd like to share? ET: Well, different images get different engagement; whether it is travel, fashion or food. Different times of the day when people are more or less active makes a difference as well. You have to experiment with this formula. I try to engage back with my followers as much as possible. I go to their profiles, look at their pictures and reply to their comments. Engaging back is important is important. AK: You have some impressive sponsors, including Clinique, Olay, Macy's Jared Jewelry and others. How did you land your first corporate sponsor, and what do you think it was about your brand that attracted them to you? ET: My very first sponsorship was just a gifted product that came from a clothing line in the UK. There are so many platforms for social media influencers and bloggers that connect influencers with compatible brands. The brand wants to make sure you will be good representative for their product. I have gotten my sponsorships either directly or through one of these influencer platforms. What brands tell me they like about my images are my use of bright colors and the places I've traveled. They like the idea of their brand being associated with these beautiful and exotic locations. They will ask me where I am going next and choose for me to promote their product or service against the backdrop of that specific locale. AK: In addition to your strong social media presence, you are a successful orthodontist, which you also incorporate into your blog and your social media posts. How do you see the two working together? ET: Different days of the week are being dedicated to one or the other. At one point the dental or orthodontic part of the blog might become bigger. People go through different life stages, so when you are thinking of expanding your family and having kids, the orthodontics part might take over a bit more as my traveling slows down for some periods of time. AK: You have traveled to so many places around the globe. What destination has been your favorite, and why? ET: I really love Hawaii. It's one of my favorite destinations, and it is so easy to get from one island to the other. Each island has a different vibe, and the nature is so beautiful and unbelievable. Maui is more calming and relaxing. Oahu is more populated. If you are looking for more buzz and excitement, you can always jump over to Honolulu and Oahu. The best part is you're not leaving the states, so it's the same currency, same phone network. It's exotic and convenient at the same time. AK: People can now shop your lifestyle at your blog, Bubbly Moments. How do you choose what kinds of products to promote to your readers and followers? ET: I need to believe in the product. I will usually use something for at least a few weeks before giving any recommendation. Now that summer is coming, I am focused on summer content: outfits, accessories, floaties. I love a good pool floaty! I am always looking for fun things to promote. And I do promote things that I just personally love and use myself. For example, right now I am obsessed with my Amazon firestick, so I was just sharing that in my IG story. So much of it is completely organic and me sharing what I am loving at that moment.
