My plan had been to go to Mulberry to see a friend who works there and then to Saks, but carrying two steaks and five new potatoes home from the store was apparently enough to send me into a coma for the rest of the evening.

DIY Baby Lullaby Book
The other day I was thinking to myself: what lullabies do I know by heart? And the answer is...none.
Black & Blue & Classic All Over
The approach of fall is leaving me torn.
2-Minute Summery Smoky Eye
What makes a summery smoky eye different from a wintry smoky eye, you ask? It's softer, more golden, with no harsh lines...so soft, in fact, that it looks just as pretty in the daytime as it does at night. Click through for video tutorial.
Smorgasburg & Frozen Bananas
I can't believe it's taken me this long to get to Smorgasburg (the foodie portion of the Brooklyn Flea, open Saturdays from 9AM-5PM). What can I say? It's been a lazy summer. And one filled with worries about long Port-a-potty lines.
Stopped Into Votre Vu’s Airstream…
...to (finally) meet some of the lovely ladies behind the brand (Mary Hannah, Isabel & Elizabeth).
I learned about lots of fun stuff they've got planned for the holidays, and will be sharing that info (and lots and lots more RG gift picks) once it's...you know...no longer ten zillion degrees out and it makes more sense to start talking about things like holidays.
In other heat-related news: oof, subways, you're killing me today. (I'm actually in a fight with the N/R line. Guess who's winning?)

What To Wear: Summertime Garden Wedding
Q. Hi Jordan, Can you help me find an outfit to wear to a garden wedding in California for under $200, including accessories?
Recycled Wedding Dress Ideas
Reader Anna recently sent me an email asking if I knew of any places that will take your wedding dress and transform the fabric into a photo album cover. This is actually something I've never heard of...but what a neat idea for someone who doesn't want to hang onto a fifty-pound box o' dress (or who wants to cut off the lower bit to make it into a cocktail dress).
My advice to Anna was to contact a cleaning/tailoring service that specializes in wedding dresses to see if they can do it, or if they know someone who can. Madame Paulette is the #1 wedding-dress preservation specialist in NYC, so I'd start there (or try any of these). But I thought I'd post her question here in case any of you had some more concrete advice for her.

Bright and Brighter
I loved my mom's outfit the other day so much I had to take a photo of it.
How great is that?! Bright yellow + cobalt + gold jewelry is so gorgeous for summer.
It's the pants, mostly: they're perfect for summer office-wear, and look spectacular paired with so many different colors. Yellow, dusty rose, orange, fuschia, white...even bright emerald green can work if you're feeling feisty (just pull the strong color combos together with your accessories, like Mom did with that scarf).
Wonderful Little Birthday Celebrations
I turn 30 on Thursday. Yiiiikes. Also: pretty exciting; I've always looked forward to my thirties. My twenties weren't exactly smooth sailing, and I've always felt hopeful that this decade would be a great one.
