FashionEASTa

Well hello there?!?!?! Yes it's me! Jordan Alexis back in the flesh! I know I've been M.I.A for a min but for good reason (I promise I'll fill you this week). But now I'm back with a fresh set of eyes and post for all you lovely folks!

This weekend I got the chance to attend the 4th annual FashionEASTa event in Harbor East. Now if you've been following me for some time you'll know I attended this event last year. But this year I got to sit and actually watch and enjoy the show. The event was a day full of amazing deals at most of the retailers in Harbor East, lots of food and drinks and plenty of cool people to mingle with. I was greeted by one of the coordinators of the event (Thanks Megan!) and received my press pass then went to walk around and see all the cool deals in each store was offering. I got the chance to meet some amazing style experts and bloggers who had great conversation and of course amazing looks!

The fashion show started on time and was filled with the newest spring and summer pieces from various retailers such as Free People and South Moon Under. The show had models of all ages and shapes walk for each retailer and even included Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens which was a great treat.

Overall the event was a great day for fashion in Baltimore. I want to thank the Megan McCloskey for her amazing coordination of this event and working with me and all the models and stylist that worked on the fashion show. So excited for next year!

Young never matching

Hello Ladies and Gents! Its a beautiful day here in Baltimore and of course I'm stuck in my office staring at the sunny skies and nice breeze. But nevertheless I'm blessed to have a job I guess. This weekend was a simple yet "filling" one for me. I worked some overtime and hung out with my baby brother on Saturday then went to church and did laundry yesterday. I'm getting ready for a fast that ill be starting on April 1st- April 15th. This is something that has been on my heart for sometime but with my latest trials and tribulations God is telling me its time to re-connect and center myself. During my fast I hope to gain clarity and a sense of direction with my career and personal life. During your mid 20's I feel like we all go through these"what am I doing" woes and need to just relax and reflect once in a while. I also plan to connect with myself and test my discipline. Discipline is not something I've been so good at throughout life and I'm hoping this fast will introduce that in my life. I can honestly say I'm scared shit-less, nervous but overall I'm excited. I'm trying not to set expectations about what to expect but its hard with all the research I've done. Every documentary, book and article I've read people talk about the break-through'S they've had. I'm just hoping to be OK with not eating for 12 hours a day and having a strict no meat, processed or sugary food diet. I'm sure I can do it but the first few days will probably be the hardest but with prayer and alone time I'm going to be successful. Pray for my strength cause I'm going to need it! 

This look is literally one that I threw together. I found these cool almost African print fitted trousers from H&M just last weekend and a night-time boyfriend tee from their pajama section. Of course I paired my fav Saucony track sneakers to add more comfort to the look and my boyfriends GAP denim jacket.  The sweater is one that one of my good friends had for a while and gave to me before she moved. Have a great week and be inspired!
