hampton brights with Banana Republic & Milly

I have a very special surprise for you….

I’m excited to announce that Just Add Glam is expanding its closet horizons to include men’s fashion for the first time!  And who better to partner with than my long-time favorite Banana Republic and Milly with their newly launched summer 2013 capsule collection–and Milly’s first foray into men’s fashion as well!  To share the bright colors and bold prints of the collection, I recruited my brother Andrew to style some Banana Republic x Milly Hamptons-wear with me.  Andrew has been known to help out behind the camera on Just Add Glam but he definitely had a great time in front of the lens as my dapper counterpart.



I loved styling the bold colors and prints from the Banana Republic x Milly collection, and especially by giving them a unique twist.  Andrew and I could easily have paired our looks with sandals and we would be ready for the beach but I wanted to go for a bit more of a city-meets-beach vibe with some unexpected accessories.  To punch up the already vibrant color palette, we opted for pops of red (red lips and red toes for me, red pocketsquare and red sneaker accents for Andrew) to accent our lime and blues.  I love the mix of the silver tote with the bangles against the bright lime, something about it is so warm yet so cool.  And Andrew’s kicks?  Totally unexpected but something about them just works when pairing vintage printed shorts and vintage sneakers.

Styling the Banana Republic x Milly collection was amazing and so much fun.  The modern style of Banana Republic mixed with Milly’s signature vintage-inspired prints and patterns is the perfect mix of sophisticated and playful.  Now all we need is two plane tickets to the Hamptons…

    I love this dress and shoes! The shorts on your brother are also pretty fantastic – the pattern is gorgeous! You guys definitely look fancy. It’s really cool that you got to partner with Banana Republic and Milly to do this, and awesome that you pulled your brother in!

Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Her Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Here’s what we ordered:

🌟Cucumber Salad - a bright and light starter I’d love to make these at home (and @glucosegoddess would be proud!)
🌟String Beans with Garlic - I would have eaten 3 more orders of this had they not been $16/each. I’ve already been searching for copy cat recipes because they are just SO DAMN GOOD
🌟Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - these are their classic soup dumpling and very yummy and chewy and I loved the soy-vinegar sauce pairing with it
🌟 Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai - these were recommended in a TikTok video but they weren’t my favorite. The rice plus the dough was just too much IMO
🌟 Chicken Spicy Wontons - these were very good! I would drink the bowl of sauce if no one was watching…
🌟 Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao - wow, what a great to end the meal! We don’t order dessert often but this really good. Love the melty creamy chocolate!

Can’t wait to go back! Have you been? You’ve got to try it!
I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard
