Jordan’s Magical Concealer Spots

What are "magical concealer spots," you ask? Tiny little areas of your face that you would probably never think to put concealer on…but that immediately make you look infinitely more wide-awake.

It's magic. (Hence the wand I'm waving around in this video.)

The Pregnancy Hair

I've gotten a whole bunch of questions these past couple of weeks along the lines of "What are you doing to your hair lately? Did you get extensions?"

And as much as I'd like to say either "I am a hairstyling genius" or "Oh, just #blessed"…the truth? I'm doing nothing. (Or at least nothing out of the ordinary; I've been using the same products as I usually do and curling it using this technique.) And if you get pregnant, you will also have to do nothing: you will just all of a sudden discover that your hair is PHENOMENAL. Why? Because your hair doesn't fall out nearly as much when you're pregnant, so you end up with about six times the amount of hair you're used to, and it's all shiny and thick and lovely from the prenatal vitamins. It's so much fun.

And then, just as you've started to settle in and get all "oh, this old thing?" about your phenomenal hair...

I’ll Take Some Fried Eggs On My Nails, Please

I just - like, last week - wrote a post about how I'm so glad that, as a society, we appear to have moved on from the crazy nail art thing that filled up my Pinterest feed with photographs of tiny little Tiffany boxes and twee cartoon characters painted onto fingertips.

Mostly because the idea of a time-and-labor-intensive beauty procedure that will immediately chip makes me sad.

But these designs - created by the manicurists at yesterday's (and today's) event at Grand Central, who are apparently Instagram stars thanks to their handiwork - are something else entirely. I mean...

My Looks

Swaddled

There are some things that are wardrobe staples - pieces that you wear over and over and over again that go with everything. Those distressed black jeans, for example? The wear-everywhere black tote? Staples.

And then there are other things that aren't "practical," per se…but that are just too amazing to pass up. Like…I don't know: a huge, cozy sweater with an enormous faux fur hood. Cream-colored tops aren't what I usually pick these days largely because I'm usually carrying one or two human beings with a tendency to emit various substances onto my person, and I try to steer clear of dry-clean-only items, but...

Casual Autumn Wedding: Denim & Rose

Q. Hi Jordan!

I'm getting married in October, and am wearing a plain strapless dress. The wedding is very casual (the groom is wearing jeans). I'd like a jacket or cover of some sort, and to look cool, casual, stylish, and not too bridal-y. Can you help?

A. OK, first: autumn weddings are my favorite, and if I had to do it again, I'd totally get married in October. Berries and wheat and clear blue skies and pumpkin everything. Yes.
