You (Yes, You) Always Make Me Smile
Thanks to reader Katie for sending me this. It turned a down day up.
Reader Question / Rescue Chair Rehab
Q. Hi Jordan! I have this ugly brown wooden chair in my apartment. I found it on the street one night and brought it home, vowing to my roommate that I was going to make it more interesting. Well, it's been almost a year now, and the chair hasn't changed...
Centerpiece Idea / Teacups & Carnations
How gorgeous is this centerpiece (part of yesterday's shoot)?
Try This Thursday / But Every Day, Really
I know, I know...it's Thursday. But this particular Try This Tuesday just felt like the perfect kickoff to the last official weekend of summer.
John Sahag Blonding / Camera In Front of My Face
I generally don't enjoy going up to random people and asking them to take my picture. Sure, I'll ask Kendrick, or a close friend, but otherwise I generally find this an odd, embarrassing (if sometimes necessary) thing to do.

Check out last night's $12 Chinatown purchase!
Totally Surprised Kendrick
This anniversary I made Kendrick promise, swear, cross heart etc. that we wouldn't exchange gifts or do anything fancy. I did this because I wanted to blow his mind by getting him something that he's wanted - needed, actually - for a long time now, and I didn't want it to be about quid pro quo...I wanted it to be about him.
