Presently here’s a CrossFit shoe depiction that stood out enough to be noticed: Made from fabric that “is glass, cut and spiked metal safe.” First, perhaps the workouts aren’t as extreme as I thought. Furthermore, two, OK, let us know more. As the story goes, two previous Reebok administrators needed to make preparing shoes that could be worn both in the exercise center (or box) and in addition outside — and still be classy and super agreeable. So they made.
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
This graphic print blazer strikes me as a fun option for a casual day, or a creative office. Let’s throw the bikini top out the window and, I think, go with your basic white or black unless you happen to have a matching yellow already in your collection. (I clicked over to “Milly tees” to see if they have a matching yellow in the collection, but they only have silly message tees for $80-$90 — though I do like the “Fancy AF” one.) I like this with matching black pants on the bottom, but because I hate trying to “match blacks to make a suit,” I’d go with gray or white pants as a separate. The blazer is $450.

As anyone who has ever tried to write a large body of words will know, writer’s block is a very real thing.
Well now an app has been created which aims to solve this by quite literally terrifying you into writing, non-stop.
The Most Spellbinding Writing App is an online tool that allows you to set a timer and then start typing on a clean, uncluttered page within your browser.
Where things start getting dicey however is when you stop typing. That’s because if you stop for over five seconds then the app will destroy all your work, for good.
That’s right, there’s no way out of this, every precious word and paragraph disappears into the abyss.
We never said writing was a painless process but we do get the feeling that The Most Spellbinding App does perhaps take things to a whole new level.
Despite the overwhelming sense of doom there are some very good reasons why this might be the writing app for you.

It’s hard out here for a platinum pimp! Thank you @FredericMennetrier for touching up my blonde!

“Haley,” Jazmine asked me last week, “Why is Kim Kardashian getting her hair dyed again? Didn’t she just get it done? Why is it, as she says, hard out there for a platinum pimp?” And I was honestly so glad she asked because I love talking about my hair, my hair is my greatest achievement in life, I’m assuming that is the reason Kim K. copied my look, because she sees the real joy that comes from a well-maintained and artfully-tousled head of bleached blonde hair.
What is my secret, you ask? Why is Kim getting her hair done yet again? WELL:
The thing about bleached blonde hair is that it is fucking ugly as shit. Sorry!! Bleach contains some of the worst chemicals on the planet, I’m pretty sure, and as the name implies it is a powerful stripping agent that, like, petrifies the color out of your strands of hair, or something. I don’t really know how it works. I just know it is dangerous and powerful and you probably shouldn’t inhale it or get it on your actual skin, but that doesn’t stop me from periodically rubbing it all over my scalp for beauty purposes.
The bleach is not really how you achieve the luxurious and stylish blonde hair that makes you look super cool. It’s the toner, the follow-up step too often neglected in this process. Without toner, the bleach wants to turn your hair yellow or green within, like, one shampoo. Bleach is a bitch that wants to turn against you. Toner is how you defend and protect your hotness. So, when Kim was taking that selfie, I’m assuming her hairdresser was giving her hair a touch-up tone, and by assuming I mean that’s definitely what she texted me, because we are very good friends who communicate frequently.
Depending on your coloring and your Blonde Ambitions™ you’ll want a toner with a bit of a tint to it; blue for very white-blonde, purple or pink for a nice dusty-white blonde. I find purple to be the most flattering undertone for my skin because it neutralizes both red and yellow, so my hair and skin look nice and even.
I care way, way more about the toner than I do about the bleach. I’m not really a blonde who cares a lot about roots because, like, who am I trying to kid; the point here is to not look like a natural blonde. That’s also why I’ve never bothered dying my eyebrows. Like, it’s a look.
But we are not all Kim K. and we can not all afford regular salon toners in between runway shows at Paris Fashion Week. Instead, I alternate between two purple conditioners: Aveda Blue Malva Conditioner and Christophe Robin Shade Variation Care.
Here are three memorable examples of spin:
1. In 2015 the Flint, Michigan city administration filed false reports with the state about its poisoned water. Brad Wurfel, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality spokesperson, told a reporter, “Anyone who is concerned about lead in the drinking water in Flint can relax. It does not look like there is any broad problem with the water supply freeing up lead as it goes to homes.”
2. In 1998 President Clinton declared of Monica Lewinksy that he “ did not have sexual relations with that woman.”
3. In 2014, it was widely reported that Edelman, the world’s biggest PR firm, was found to have engaged in spin by promoting climate-change denial.
At its least harmful, spin is a positive take on something.
The three examples above are much more representative of its darker purpose: the deliberate distortion of truth. It includes lies, deceit, manipulation and misrepresentation.
If you’re fed up with this dubious behavior, don’t be disheartened. You can stand up, fight and be counted. Here are eight ways to tackle spin:
1. Become a member of a professional association.
Signal your professionalism by joining one of the groups that represent your interests, whether in PR (PRSA), or in marketing (AMA).
Familiarize yourself with your association’s code of ethics. Often organizations publish guidelines on client-agency relations. Abide by them and consider including their initials on your work email signature.
2. Challenge it in writing.
Challenging every incident of spin would probably be a full-time job, but you can stand up to one case every month or every quarter.
Identify the head of the organization responsible, find his or her email address and send your protest in a letter.
Though this is an effective way to start a conversation, turn your letter into a blog post if you’re met with silence. Executives hate to come across such a complaint. If no one responds to your complaint, publish your letter.
3. Heed the counsel of best practice professionals.
Kathy Barbour, 2015’s National Board Director of PRSA, said that the practice of twisting information is out of date, and there’s no place for it in proper PR practices:
The idea of spin is antiquated and unethical. Trust is most important to the clients and companies PR professionals serve, so there’s no place for spin. To combat spin, an ethical code or an industry guide, like the one all PRSA members must agree to, is absolutely necessary. PR pros who enroll in continuing education and Accreditation are less likely to get sucked into spin.
Francis Ingham, Director General of the PRCA, stressed the importance of living by a code of professional conduct:
One factor separates the spinners and the cowboys from pros―adherence to an external code of conduct. That’s what clients should insist upon. A case in point is our expulsion of Fuel PR. If you don’t subscribe to a code, you’re not prepared to be accountable. It’s that straightforward.
Keeping fit in mid-life can more than double the chances of a healthy retirement, according to a new government campaign. But where do you start? Here’s a quick guide to getting on the move
It’s hard to overstate the benefits of walking. Indeed , it’s hard to find any drawbacks at all, unless you don’t look where you are going (iPhone zombies, put that screen down). A report from the Ramblers Association and Macmillan Cancer Support found that if everyone in England regularly walked for half an hour a day, it could save 37,000 lives a year. It also cuts the risks of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and has been shown to have protective effects against dementia. We should all do it a lot more.
Don’t underestimate the power of a black necklace — it can be great for anchoring a look with many different colors, or muting a wilder look (like a bright blue dress, for example). This simple fabric version from Topshop is $22, which is a great price point to experiment with it in your wardrobe. Topshop Multi Row Fabric Collar Necklace

Sure, we all know what basics professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic item that every woman should have.
Beige pumps and other “nude” heels are starting to hit the stores (just in time for our first blast of spring-like weather!), so I thought we’d go on a Hunt since we haven’t done one for beige heels in a while. As a reminder, beige pumps are a great neutral for all skin tones, but the theory is that the closer to your exact skin tone you can get with any shoe, the more elongating and flattering a look it can be with sheer hose or bare legs. (Here’s our last guide on when and how to wear pantyhose if you need a refresher!) Ladies, do you have any favorite beige/tan/pink/caramel/brown pumps that you love because they match your skin tone? Any perfect shades of beige heels that you love regardless of whether they match your skin tone? (Stay tuned for a separate roundup of beige flats!)
First, a roundup of some general categories of beige, nude-for-you heels:
