October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and while men only account for about 1% of breast cancer diagnoses, 1-in-8 women in the US will receive the news she has invasive breast cancer. The risk of developing breast cancer may be low in men, but all men certainly run the risk of loving someone who does develop it. That’s why LAB SERIES, the men’s skincare line from Estée Lauder, has teamed up with famed designer Michael Bastian to make your skin and outfit look sexy as hell as you support the Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Campaign.

Those ubiquitous pink ribbons you see around are thanks to the late, great Evelyn H. Lauder, who founded the Estée Lauder Companies’ incredibly successful Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). Since it was formed in 1992, the BCA Campaign has been a tireless source of education and research, and not just in the United States. It has raised over $58 million in support of international initiatives for research, education, and medical help. The BCA Campaign raises money through private donations, employee donations, and Pink Ribbon Product sales.

In 1987, Estée Lauder launched their men’s skincare line, LAB SERIES; meticulously researched products created to provide men with exactly what their lifestyle and skin demand. It’s the folks at LAB SERIES who tapped the iconic designer, Michael Bastian to create a pocket square men could wear to support Breast Cancer Awareness. Bastian is a fashion powerhouse, designing menswear that’s classic, but with modern tailoring. So it’s not surprise he created a timeless, sophisticated, and bold navy pocket square that will pair with virtually any shirt and suit. It’s bordered with a pattern of interlocking, instantly recognizable, pink ribbons. Such detail went into the design of the pocket square that it gives the illusion that it’s four different pocket squares depending upon how it’s folded.

Bastian’s pocket square is a limited edition design and, through October, is a complimentary gift when you purchase $85 or more in LAB SERIES products at Bloomingdale’s (in-store or online) or at labseries.com.

The best Jonah Hill movies, from Moneyball to War Dogs
If you're a fan of Jonah Hill, then you must see these films that star the actor
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in 21 Jump Street

Few performers have had the kind of success that Jonah Hill has found at such a young age. He's been a comedy star since he was basically a teenager, and he has also found success as a more dramatic actor in recent years. That combination of work means that Hill has a pretty extensive catalog of great movies to choose from, and they run the gamut from out-and-out comedies to much subtler, more dramatic work.

Whatever version of Hill you like best, it's hard to imagine you wouldn't like at least one of the films on this list of the best Jonah Hill movies.

Ranked: All Christopher Nolan films
We've ranked every movie in Nolan's filmography from 13 all the way to number 1
Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer

Christopher Nolan is one of the biggest brand-name directors in Hollywood thanks to his ambitious storytelling and totally distinctive filmography, which ranges from sci-fi to some truly terrific action movies. Since the age of 7 — when he created his own short films on his father’s Super 8 camera — Nolan has been fascinated with cinema.
His life is dedicated to creating worlds within worlds and keeping audiences guessing. Nolan seems to pour his heart and soul into every one of his films, which are somewhat miraculously released within two to three years of each other. What he's best known for, though, is his dense plotting, which he infuses with scientific theories, twisting them in ways that viewers have to pay close attention to understand. Nolan's latest work is a continuation of that trend, as he turns his eye toward J. Robert Oppenheimer, the inventor of the atomic bomb.
This list is a rundown of every film that Nolan has directed. What's more, as we delve into the creative process and beauty of Christopher Nolan movies, spoilers will definitely be involved, so you've been warned.

These are the best movies to watch on Peacock in July
Peacock is a TV service, but it also has a great catalog of movies to stream, too
Jack Black in Bernie.

A fun bit of historic TV trivia is that the original NBC peacock logo was first implemented in 1956 to highlight the network's new color programming. Even though the logo has gone through numerous iterations since then, the network has stuck with the colorful bird, in one form or another, for going on six decades now. It’s fitting, then, that Peacock is known most for its TV programming, highlighted by shows like The Office, Parks and Rec, and the self-mocking (and hilarious) 30 Rock. If you are on Peacock for the shows, however, don't overlook that the platform is also home to a number of great movies spanning cinema history, including everything from great comedy to excellent sports movies.

Peacock streaming offers both free (registered) and paid accounts. As a result, some Peacock movies are available without a paid subscription, and others only for subscribers. This roundup culls titles from both groups. To be sure you can access all of these classics, you'll have to fork over a subscription fee. Happy streaming, and keep reading to find the best movies on Peacock right now.
