Today was my first day back in the office in almost two weeks. When I got to my desk, I saw a mysterious package waiting for me from Starbucks VIA. Starbucks launched VIA Iced Coffee last week and they sent me a little gift to get me acquainted! For those who don’t already know, I drink VIA more than any other kind of coffee and I’m pretty obsessed (it’s one of the many random things you’ll find in my handbag).

The package included Read the rest of this entry »

Apologies for the lack of posts. I just returned from a work/play visit in Seattle, my other “home.” I celebrated my 27th birthday while I was visiting and got to spend time with some of my favorite people in the world. Here are some highlights and photos from the trip. FYI – this post is a little more personal and not related to fashion at all…

What would a Seattle trip be without a reunion with a trio of trouble? I’ve blogged about Linds and Jess before, but they are pretty much VIP in my life (as are other Seattle friends Read the rest of this entry »

More playing with water color pencils…I’m so in love with Gala Darling’s Twitter picture, I decided to use it for inspiration. What do you think? I’m definitely still a little rusty (especially with hands) and still getting the hang of water color pencils. It’s hard for me not to be critical, but the only thing that makes me think ”Jordie, you’re done…put down the pencils,” is knowing that imperfections are almost unavoidable with water color. You can only pain so much before you seep through the paper. See a bigger pic of the sketch after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »

Last night I attended HP’s pre-screening of Sex & the City 2, followed by a swanky after party at Bergdorf Goodman. Thanks to the amazing Vivienne Tam, I sported one of her colorful dresses from the Spring 2010 collection (what an honor! Thanks Amy for taking the pic of VT and me above). People kept taking my picture…which makes me wonder, either the photogs thought I was someone else, or they take pics of anyone who “might” be “someone.” Either way, it’s sort of flattering, but I’m definitely not a socialite.

One of my favorite parts about the evening? The people! I caught up with a lot of lovely bloggers/editors and some of my favorite, stylish PR girls. There were a lot of VIPs there as well. I am usually the last person to spot celebrities and even when I do, I act like they aren’t there. It’s probably because I spend my days as a publicist. Just after the screening, I was taking a photo of some friends and a woman Read the rest of this entry »

I had the delight of attending Express‘ 30 Years of Fashion party last night, co-hosted by Vogue. Thanks Wendy from Nitrolicious for inviting me to be your plus one! Overall takeaway of the night – add Express to your next shopping stop and VV Brown to your playlists…stat! I’ve never been to an Express event and didn’t know what to expect, but I was beyond impressed with the runway show and entertainment. VV Brown…WOW! I’m about to download every single song. The video above is a little snip from her performance on the runway. Before VV went on, Express showed off some new looks. The DJ (not sure on who?) was Read the rest of this entry »
