Q. Hey Jordan,
I love your blog and thought you may be able to provide some insight into why my chocolate chip cookies always LOOK HORRIBLE! They taste good...but I can never get a nice little fluffy cookie that doesn't crumble apart.
I follow the recipe on the Nestle Toll House chocolate chip bag exactly, and yet my cookies always spread out and wind up flat and crispy.
I'm a good cook so I don't know why I'm having such a problem with chocolate chip cookies!
Last night, I had the pleasure of attending celebrity stylist and all-around adorable guy Robert Verdi's annual holiday party, where he laid out his top gift picks for everyone on your list, from the Mini Style Maven to the Do-It-All Mom.
Robert's gift list after the jump!
So today is my due date.
One of my favorite looks for fall, the navy-and-gold eye can be worn subtly for day, or drama-ed up for night
Especially with animals, a willingness to spend extra time and take tons and tons of photos is key to getting a really great image.
Let me tell you a sort of sad story about a twelve-year-old me.
When I first laid eyes on Sasha Rhett's sweet Toile Collection, I was intrigued, mostly because...well, they're lovely, and neatly combine elegance and versatility with a relaxed vibe. But then I found out that the woman behind the watches, Alexandra Daum, is a fellow Harvard grad ('10) who started creating her own collection because she recognized a need for classic - but still affordable - women's timepieces...and that she did this while still taking classes during her senior year.
So I had to ask her a few questions. Namely...how did she do that?
Ramshackle Glam: So seriously: how did you do that? Start up your own company designing watches while still a student?

This fall, what I'm in love with are rugged, '70s-style satchels and crossbodys in autumn-y shades of chocolate, burnt orange, forest green and teal.
The best of the best:
