These Everyday earrings from Electric Picks look great — when in doubt, a mixed metal huggie is almost always the perfect thing to wear.
(They have so many fun blingy huggies if that’s more your style!)
The earrings are 14kt gold plated, .5″ long, and 3mm wide — and part of a collaboration with Laura Beverlin… and they’re $68. Nice. If you like the idea of mixed metals but would prefer a ring, they also have a cool ring.

I know there’s a lot of talk on here about what is “dated,” and whether it matters. I don’t remember ever look at someone’s outfit and thinking it was too dated, but boy-howdy I thought that the other day. I was a speaker at a CLE that was pretty casual, with presenters more dressed up. (I wore black wide-leg pants, a black and white tweed moto jacket and square-toe suede ankle boots.) The 40-something woman running the program, and the organization, was wearing a navy pencil skirt suit that would have been perfect law firm interview attire when I was graduating from law school in 1988, with a pastel blouse that was somewhere between a cowl neck and a p*ssy bow. And she had on extremely high-heeled, platform, nude-for-her patent pumps. It was jarring (and I was startled when a very boho attended complimented the shoes!).
So I guess now I do believe that there is such a thing as too dated.
how is everyone feeling about the Cornell case after all the news stories? Do you think all of her text messages and so forth have hurt the broader conversation about believing women? I’m kind of surprised students were even expelled over it.
2 workout questions – does anyone here do sprint intervals vs hiit? do you feel more tired after them?
separately – how do you become comfortable under a barbell like with a squat rack? so uncomfortable and i hate having to lift it over my head.
For the first, I hate both equally and am on team slow & steady for my cardio. I’d rather walk 90 minutes than do half an hour of hiit.
For the second, lift lighter until the movements no longer feel foreign. And use a pad on the bar if it’s uncomfortable on your shoulders.
Are you psychologically uncomfortable, or are you physically uncomfortable or in pain in some way?
I grew up in a tropical country and hate winters especially early sunsets, the darkness, the layering up etc. I have a work trip to Paris in early December that I am having a hard time getting excited about. Friends are recommending staying 2-3 extra nights for fun at least. WWYD? Any tips/recs? Been there before in summer and fall but that was a decade ago so definitely not looking to do usual touristy things.
