Check out my interview with the lovely Kirsten from WhyDid, where I dish about my can't-live-without-it accessory and the time I wandered the streets accompanied by bodyguards and a cat.

…And Then She Went Up In Flames
Years ago, I had a serious problem with stage fright: it was crippling, actually, and was a big part of why, after awhile, acting simply stopped being something I wanted to do. It never manifested on a set - only at auditions...but it's extremely hard to get to the being-on-set stage when you collapse during the getting-there process.
Votre Vu Bebe Duette
You know how I love my Votre Vu Duette? The almond-scented hand cream (that smells like COOKIES) with lip balm and mini mirror built into the lid?
This is even better than that.
The newest addition to the fab Votre Vu line, the Bebe Duette ($39.50) makes the whole package just a little bit smaller and more portable, and includes two hand cream/lip balm duos: one with clear, coconut-scented balm, and one with just a hint of raspberry color. One for the purse; one for the desk; done.
Perfume Obsession / MCMC Fragrances
At the StyleList shoot last week, I came across MCMC perfume oils ($45 for 9ml) in Bird, a clothing and accessories boutique on Smith Street.
All of them are beautiful, but I'm obsessed with Noble, a blend of jasmine, vetiver and chai tea. It's sexy and mysterious without being heavy in the slightest, and completely unlike anything I've ever come across. I rolled a little onto my wrist...which then stayed glued to my nose for the remainder of the day.
I'm also dying to try Maine (they didn't have a sample in the store), a musky scent with hints of Bulgarian rose, sage, and French seaweed.

Q. Hi Jordan! I never received a thank-you note from a recent event, and now I'm worried the couple didn't get the gift. How do you think this should be handled?
Madison Square Park / Shake Shack Concrete
As good as it looks.

Things Mom Loves (That I Love Too)
I stopped by my parents' place yesterday evening, and my mom immediately pulled me into the bathroom to paint my face with some new products she's fallen in love with. And since Mom knows best, of course they were wonderful, and I now love them too.
Per-fekt Eye Perfection Gel: A gorgeously textured gel-mousse that airbrushes the area under the eyes, simultaneously reducing puffiness with cooling and anti-inflammatory ingredients while adding a hint of light-reflecting, brightening color. Basically, it's eye cream + concealer in one incredible-feeling package.
Bridesmaids Shoes / Wedges
Q. Hi Jordan, One of my bridesmaids needs a very big platform wedge for my wedding, and is having a hard time finding anything dressy enough. Do you have any suggestions?
Elvis Pancakes
Kendrick made these for me on Saturday. They are ridiculous. Try them try them.
