Q. Hi Jordan,
My husband and I are expecting a little one soon, and I was wondering if you had any suggestions for creating a nursery.
We live in New York City, where (as you know) having an actual separate room for baby is hard to come by. We're lucky enough to have a big bedroom, so we're rearranged it to feel (kind of) like two separate spaces. Any advice on how to make things modern, eclectic, kind of funky, all while meshing with the adult space?
(Our walls are currently cobalt blue, FYI.)
New Color, New Care
Q. Can you post some photos of your hair color? I have a hair appointment coming up and need inspiration!
A. I went quite a bit lighter this time than I usually do; I wanted to look nice and summery for next week's trip, but was also just generally looking for something a little different. My colorist, Doug at John Sahag Workshop, usually does balayage, but this time he lightened up the base color with a mild single process (only left on for about five minutes) before adding highlights.
Juicy Couture Fall 2013 Presentation
With Gala at last night's Juicy Couture Fall 2013 "Bad Reputation" presentation.
This Fashion Week, my plan is to pick a couple of days to spend in the city and attend whatever shows happen to fall on those days rather than trucking back and forth all week long...but I couldn't miss this party. Champagne, chocolate-covered popcorn, Juicy Couture clothing, and a chance to catch up with friends I don't get to see as much these days made for a pretty excellent evening.
The collection, inspired by icons such as Kate Moss, Joan Jett, Marianne Faithfull and the feminist Russian punk band Pussy Riot, features an eclectic mix of rocker-chick pieces like skin-tight coated denim (my favorite piece was the iridescent pair pictured above), plenty of animal print, preppy standards like tweed jackets and patterned blazers, and a couple of sweet 70's-style flowery dresses.
