Do Something Different {Bruce Mozert}

Why not try something different? This blog was birthed into existence from that mantra. Today marks the first in a series of JBD posts focused on something different. Mr. Bruce Mozert felt the wind of possibility when he arrived in 1938 to Silver Springs, Florida. Photographing women in the clear waters came from a clarity of his imagination.

In the Wind

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Aside from having the (obvious) nickname, Jenny, I have another, called Windy. My mom coined the name for me ages ago, saying I earned it from having a whimsical sense of being, always moving in the wind of life. So be it + I embrace it. We all need a bit of wind-like nature from time to time. Let yourself get lost to be free. Allow your gypsy soul to explore. Happy Tuesday, kids.

Coconut Pancakes

Coconut pancakes immediately make me feel cozy. Like wearing favorite Saturday morning attire. And while it is Monday, I am embracing comfort all week long, even amidst a hectic work week. Why don’t you join me?

Friday Frock and Fizz

There is so much good stuff to share with you, I could serve up a week’s worth of Frock and Fizz. I’m reigning myself in and sending out two fun loves: leather and Evelyn. The killer combo blends classic and feminine into sexy.

I spotted this frock within the pages of the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar. Holli Rogers (Fashion Director at Net-a-Porter) effortlessly wears Christopher Kane’s black leather and sheer-paneled creation. It’s just so right, I want to wear it all weekend. Let’s stroll into Evelyn Drinkery…an Alphabet City cocktail bar named after a woman who is, according to the meaning of names, desired, full of life and bird-like. Three layers of fortune if you ask me. The three gentlemen manning the bar are ready to create a dream sequence of spirits. It’s all too good to only have one make the cut. Go ahead, fizz-indulge here. Cheers my dears.

Saturday is the new Thursday

Kate Spade New York is launching a new brand in March (yes, as in a day from now it’s March). Fun, cute and clever, fans will delight in the usual bravado of color. However, Kate Spade Saturday feels even more straight to the point, modern and stylish. Check out the goods here. My vote goes to the Saturday Morning Mug. At only $10 a cup, the pop of color is perfect for perking up your coffee or passing off a pair of four as a hostess gift.

Engaged

Get engaged. Engaged to yourself. What do you love? What turns you on? What is the thing that your brain cannot delete? It keeps you up at night in the best way possible, it makes you smile when you sit alone. Keep with it, kids. It is worth it. You are worth it. Love is all around. Engage yourself and you will engage with others.  xx, Jenny
