This past weekend my brother Andrew and I got together for some brother-sister bonding time…which always includes the camera since we both love hamming it up in front of it.  When he showed up at my house, we were actually wearing similar looks so we knew that dinner would be postponed in favor of doing outfit shots…

For my look, I was really excited to style the Hugo backpack from Be&D into my look.  I’m been on the hunt for a grown up and glam backpack for what seems like forever and I finally have found it from Be&D.  To go along with the leather straps on the bag I wore some strappy cage heels and a floral shift dress to balance out the harder accessories with a flirty print and shape.  I love the mix of soft are hard pieces together to make an outfit really interesting.

Andrew lives in henley shirts so I wasn’t surprised to see him show up in this.  Paired up with his blue chinos, he wore his Oliberté boots–handcrafted boots made in Africa that support worker’ rights in sub-Saharan Africa–we love fashion that supports a good cause!  Finish it off with a cool pair of shades and Andrew looks amazingly casual but well put together.

Exciting news… I’ve teamed up with Be&D to share my love for the brand with YOU (I styled a Be&D bag in one of my very first blog posts here…oh memories!).  I’ll be hosting a special giveaway for Be&D and Just Add Glam fans for your chance to win a $100 giftcard to Be&D to put towards your own piece on a purchase of $150+.  Entering is easy, use the Rafflecopter widget below.  Enter via as many entry methods as you wish…or all entry methods for more chances to win.  The giveaway will be open through October 21, 2013.  Good luck!

What item from Be&D would you purchase if you won the giftcard?  There are so many amazing bags and shoes to choose from.  For me, I think I would go with Andrew’s theme of fashion that gives back and would purchase a pair of the Big City Cure sneaker.  Since October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Be&D will be donating $10 from each pair sold to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  Love love love fashion with a good cause, am I right?!

xoxo

    Great giveaway Jen! I love the dress you’re wearing and it’s cute that you and your bro are close. 🙂 I love the site and I think I would put the giftcard toward the ‘walking on violence’ sneakers. They’re cool!

    I’ve been a big fan of Be&D for years so I’m thrilled to see you partner with them! You two look fabulous together (I’d wear this whole look ;), as always! I’ve been searching for a backpack too but I also love this lil number
    Fingers crossed!

    Jennifer, you look absolutely gorgeous in this post.
    Not that you don’t always look stunning. But these outfit shots knock it out of the park. Love the dress & the rest!

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
