If you love a knit blazer, this luxe version looks more like your favorite suit jacket.
This jacket marries the silhouette of a traditional suit with the softness of a knit. Crafted from a baby alpaca/silk blend, this substantial double-layer knit just needs a simple contrasting shell underneath. Add the matching trousers for a full suit.
Sskein’s Gabi Blazer is $928 and comes in cocoa and charcoal. It’s available in sizes XS-L.

I’ve been getting balayage highlights about 3-4 times a year to cover and blend my grays, which are mostly around my temples. But I hate how long it takes at the salon, sometimes up to 4 hours, for not that amazing of a look. Should I switch to just a single process color? I have medium warm brown hair, with about 25% gray at the crown.
Need some tips. My twins (boys) will be 6 in early Feb. They are still not night trained. We tried the dream pee: one of them goes into a rage state and it takes an hour to get him re-settled. They can go a couple of days without an accident but inevitably have a regression. Should I just put puppy pads down and power through? I’m at a loss here.
Looking for advice – we’re in a small colonial with a long narrow living room and a finished basement room the same size directly underneath. The rest of the house is just kitchen, dining, bedrooms, and bathrooms – all small, so limited other space for the things I’m about to ask about. The basement is currently set up as a playroom, but we’re thinking ahead to what we’ll want in the next kid stage.
Functionally, it feels like we need to make it a true family room, but I’m scratching my head on what exactly that means. Should we just lean into making it all TV – comfy sectional etc? Realistically I think we could set up a room that would comfortably seat 6-8 teenagers for a movie night. Or we could go a different route and make it more like homework space, small armchairs, space to practice instruments etc (but will late elementary / middle school kids want to go down there most afternoons and evenings if dinner prep and everything else is happening on the main floor)? The room is small enough that we can’t really do two things – like couldn’t do ping pong table and TV set-up. Our living room directly above does have a TV but how it’s arranged would be tough to imagine more than 3 teenage boys comfortable lounging in there. I guess what I’m struggling with is how central is a TV to older kid socializing and relaxation?
omg I can’t tell which is funnier here, the price or the styling.
