Looking for a mixed metals necklace to wear with everything this fall? I like this affordableish option from Mejuri. I like that it's 16″ long, and it's a mixture of gold finished steel and platinum finished steel.
The necklace is $248, available as pictured as well as an all platinum-finished version. There are several matching pieces, including two earrings and a minimal pendant necklae.

My teenaged daughter requested two nice, solid-colored hoodies for her upcoming milestone birthday. I know people have recommended sweatshirts/ hoodies here recently, but I can’t seem to find the threads. Please tell me what brands are making hoodies that fashionable young people like??
Comfrt is a favorite brand among the teens/tweens in my circle.
I’m decidedly not in that demographic, but I just ordered one this weekend! Are they for the kids? Will 50 year old me look out of place in it?
No, I think you’ll be fine! They’re nicely styled but I don’t think they read overly young. I kind of want one, too.
PSA: if what you* really want is a blazer from Boden, don’t spend $65 buying two inferior blazers on Ebay in what seemed like a similar color scheme. Either buy the expensive blazer or don’t! ;)
*it me
This applies to so many things. Especially the “responsible choice” toaster oven air fryer that is not the one I wanted yet has refused to meet an untimely end for three years.
Ugh I did so much research on the EXACT toaster oven I wanted. I told my partner which store location had it in stock. All he had to do was buy it. But nooooo he had to go to a different location of the retailer which didn’t have it in stock and buy another toaster oven I didn’t want. Then unwrap it and set it up to ‘surprize’ me when I got home. I want to throw it off an overpass I hate it so much.
Sage advice. But once, cry once.
Ugh, how many times have I done this?! Sometimes you just need to buy the thing you love.
What are the best brands for nicer cotton hoodies for teenaged girls? I know people have mentioned sweatshirts or hoodies recently, but I can’t find the posts.
My teen likes Alo and, of all things, Nike.
Nike hoodies are genuinely good!
I was thinking about the discussion of Medicare for All from the weekend, and I am having a hard time squaring the circle on something.
For liberals in favor, can you explain to me why you feel good about having the government *more* involved in your access to reproductive healthcare? It just seems obvious to me that a Republican majority would try to, and ultimately probably be able to, use an increase in control over doctors getting paid to limit women’s access to certain types of care. And I’m not just talking about the Hyde Amendment (although that obviously is a huge barrier to this working right now). I’m talking about birth control, optional hysterectomies, etc.
Medicare and Medicaid already cover a very large portion of the population and pay for those things without issue – I feel like if Republicans wanted to limit access to those things they would have already.
