Chinatown & Cherry
For Wednesday's JITH shoot (part of which took place at Pearl River Mart, in SoHo, where we took these shots), I dressed up like a Fourth of July party in 1979. Or something like that.
Chinatown Finds / Jade Garden Arts & Crafts
One of the stops we hit on yesterday's shoot in Chinatown, Jade Garden Arts & Crafts, is an absolute must if you're in the market for things like affordable pottery, teapots and tea accessories, planters, and vases.
Aren't those colors gorgeous?
Delays And Such
I have no idea whether things like first-time homeowner drama are interesting to anyone outside of my immediate family, but hey, that's what's going on at the moment, so it's sort of impossible for me to ignore.
Off To Shoot In Chinatown
Managed to get out of the apartment without melting my wardrobe this morning. It's a start, anyway.

How-To: Wear A Pale Pink Blazer
Q. Hi Jordan!
I have a quick styling question for you. I have this lovely Generra leather blazer that is several years old and unworn. It's a super-pale pink...and I have no idea how to wear this thing. Please help!
- Sarika
A. I get where your confusion is coming from! It's tough to wear a pale pink blazer without feeling a) too girly, b) dated (hello, '80s!), or c) just a little...sickly-looking.
Tanger Outlets Sweepstakes / $2,000 Shopping Spree
First of all, can we have a conversation about those shoes?
They're so good. The whole strappy-platform thing has been around forever and ever by now, but I like that neat twist with the heel shape - it's a great little update. And the colors! So '70s. So cute.
But that's completely besides the point. The point is that over the next couple of months I'm going to be styling a couple of fun, spring-y (and affordable) looks using pieces I find at Tanger Outlets, but before I get to that we wanted to give you guys a chance to get moving on your own warm-weather wardrobe...with a $2,000 shopping spree. Woo!
All you have to do: visit Tanger's Facebook page and upload a full-length photo of your most stylish spring look. Starting March 29, fans will help select the winning look from the top 24 submissions, and the entry with the most votes will win a $2,000 Grand Prize (First Runner-Up up will win $1,000, and three Second Runners-Up will each win a $500 gift card).

A Little Help Over Here?
I'm breaking out.
I hate breaking out. Because on a day-to-day basis this 2-Minute New Mama Makeup routine is pretty much all I can muster, and breakouts mean...well, more.
Anyway, I'm going to blame the breakouts on ebbing pregnancy hormones mostly because a) last time they showed up was when the hormones first came out to say hi, so it makes sense that my skin would throw a party when they leave, too, and b) I refuse to believe that my 30-year-old self would be breaking out just 'cause. Either way, they must be gotten rid of.
This stuff* is helping so much. I'm wary of acne treatments because my major skin issue is dryness (oof, the dryness)...but so far, so good. One thin coat of the La Roche-Posay salicylic acid acne treatment over the problem spots (not every night, just when needed), and in the morning, the state of my skin is worlds better.
Weekend Snapshots
It's a fact: weekends should always, always start with a Dance Break.
