Why Are Chic Women Wearing ‘Toddler-Style' Clothes? This Mom Gave It a Shot.
So when a colleague asked if I wanted to test out some of the playful 'childlike' styles currently trending in women's fashion—think oversize sailor collars, sparkly jelly sandals and evening bags shaped like plush bunnies—I didn't need to ponder long. Bring it on.

Tow Trucks Reportedly Stalking ICE Convoys And Taking Their SUVs
Isn't it great to see people fighting back, often in ways that you could never have imagined when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) overreach raids started a couple of months ago? A story trending on social media tells of a growing group of tow truck drivers in Los Angeles who are reportedly 'stalking,' or should we say following ICE convoys around the city so they can tow away unmarked ICE vans and SUVs when they park illegally—as they invariably do—and start to conduct their 'abductions' of people off the street. Tow truck drivers to the rescue! Imagine that. It sounded great but unfortunately the story is exaggerated This sounds like a strong background story for a movie, maybe starring Gerard Butler or Liam Neeson and directed by Paul Greengrass from the Jason Bourne films. If ICE agents are 'disappearing' citizens, then tow trucks drivers can repay in kind and 'disappear' their ICE SUVs. According to Newsweek though, 'The claims, however, appear to be exaggerated.' The publication goes on to say, 'The towing company in the popular viral clip is Oxnard towing service Airport Towing. When contacted by Newsweek by phone, the company confirmed the white SUV was an ICE vehicle that had been parked illegally on Thursday, July 10. However, viral reports that the tow truck driver was 'following' ICE are inaccurate.' According to Airport Towing, the vehicle had been parked illegally on private property for more than an hour when the company arrived to tow it. Check out the video below. Seeing a tow truck driver removing an ICE SUV could not be more satisfying, even if it was just a routine removal and the story of a bunch of ICE vans being stalked by tow trucks was exaggerated. Many readers, I'm sure, were hoping this story to be be true, until fact-checking site Snopes traced the social media report back to a satirical site, saying that it had taken one incident and blown it out of proportion. But we can imagine where the story came from, as citizens are being 'disappeared' by the regime, and a vigilante tow truck resistance would seem like a godsend. Jon Favreau of Pod Save America, and former speechwriter for President Barack Obama, summed up what Americans are battling against and what tow truck drivers could react to, if so inclined. 'You have plain clothes agents, with masks, with guns, sometimes in unmarked vehicles. What are people supposed to do when someone grabs you off the street or grabs someone you're with? You're not supposed to demand to see a warrant? You not supposed to try to stop it? What if it's some bad guy, some criminal who says that they're from ICE [but they're not!]Even if the original story was exaggerated, the underlying premise of tow truck drivers resisting ICE raids is cause for hope, hope that citizens can use whatever limited powers they have to help save innocent fellow residents.

NEWS OF THE WEEK: Josh Duhamel reveals reasons for leaving Los Angeles
"I make movies and TV shows, and I love it, I truly do love it," the Ransom Canyon star told People magazine. 'But I had this calling to go and really do things with my hands again - fix things, make things and just do the basic things that we take for granted. I'm really more of a guy who wants to stay true to my roots, get back to the basics, hone whatever basic skills I need in this world of massive technology, to do the basic things to provide for my family. That's really what it's about for me.'

These Podiatrist-loved New Balance Shoes Are a Favorite Among Nurses and Travelers
New Balance sneakers are the stylish 'dad shoes' that non-dads can't get enough of—and they're often the first walking shoe brand podiatrists recommend to patients with foot issues. It's partly because of those doctor referrals that New Balance shoes are some of the most-bought and widely loved on Amazon, several boasting tens of thousands of ratings. Take a look at the retailer's list of the best-selling road running shoes, and you'll find New Balance styles sprinkled in amid Brooks sneakers that cost nearly twice as much. According to reviewers, these Fresh Foam Roav V1s aren't just 'a dream for runners'—they're also great for frequent travelers, avid walkers, nurses on their feet for hours each day, and folks who deal with chronic foot pain. They happen to be up to 25 percent off right now, too, so go ahead and buy yourself a new pair of comfy shoes that'll make your doctor proud and your feet happy. These Roav V1 sneakers hail from New Balance's Fresh Foam collection. These shoes boast cushioned, shock-absorbing midsoles meant for long-distance running, trails, and other high-impact activities. The Fresh Foam also provides high rebound, a feature that promotes energy return, making it beneficial for marathon running and even American Ninja Warrior training. The Roav V1 style combines peak road running performance and casual aesthetics, making it the perfect option for an everyday sneaker. These sneakers also feature New Balance's signature Ndurance rubber outsole technology, ensuring they're extra secure in high-wear areas that would normally start ripping at the seams. They also have a unique wavy heel (named the Ultra Heel) that softly hugs your ankle, improving the fit and adding additional support. While they aren't billed as slip-on sneakers, reviewers say that this special heel design makes them easy to slide into hands-free. A testament to how comfortable they are, one customer said they were able to cover 30 miles over a three-day period while wearing them. This included 'climbing stairs, running through subways, walking along cobblestone paths, through wet grassy areas, and more.' They described the feeling as cloudlike: 'Never once did my feet, knees, or back ache.' Another shopper echoed this, writing, 'I walked hundreds of miles in one pair over the summer, and only retired them because they got really dirty and gross in the rain in Ireland. I am on my feet all day for work and my feet are never sore or tired.' Of the more than 17,000 Amazon shoppers who have given these New Balance shoes a five-star rating, many report that they've dealt with foot pain issues previously, including plantar fasciitis. One reviewer who's had three bunion surgeries and received a diagnosis of Morton's neuroma wrote that they bought the Fresh Foam Roav V1 sneakers at the recommendation of their podiatrist. They report that they love them for physical therapy appointments—especially because they don't look like typical orthopedic shoes. On the contrary, these podiatrist-recommended sneakers are actually quite cute. The mix of textures—including the mesh panels, ribbed banding, and wavy heel—adds tons of visual interest. Plus, there are more than a dozen different color combinations to choose from, some with watercolor outsoles or vibrant hues throughout the upper. Several styles are currently marked down by up to 25 percent off, with prices as low as $64. But they aren't the only New Balance sneakers on sale at Amazon right now—we found more podiatrist-loved styles starting at just $53, below. At the time of publishing, the price started at $52.
