I’ve loved photography ever since I picked up my first SLR camera in the eighth grade, but–ironically enough–now that I have this little blog, I’m in front of the lens far more often than I’m behind it. Luckily, though, Mitch has volunteered to switch jobs with me once in a while and “model” some menswear looks on Kelly in the City. (I think it was the Barbour post that made him realize that style blogging isn’t that weird! Haha) In the near future, he’s going to be writing some lifestyle posts, too. :)
Not only will this give me the opportunity to get more involved with my site’s photography, it’ll also get Mitch more involved with content creation–and allow us to work on some fun stuff together. I’m so excited. My husband is one of the most creative people I know, and I love working with him. He’s amazingly talented at graphic design and videography, and is constantly taking on new projects and coming up with original business ideas. He’s also positive, dedicated and passionate, and a constant source of inspiration for me.
Anyway, let’s give the guy a warm welcome! Today, he’s wearing the cutest belt from BeRibbon, a super talented Etsy seller who handcrafts preppy accessories for men, women, children and pets. (Did you see Noodle’s matching collar? Oh-em-gee.) Besides belts and collars, the collection also includes key fobs, leashes and headbands. And BeRibbon works with customers on custom orders.
My favorite part of BeRibbon is that so many of the products have been inspired by the Jersey Shore–my favorite place in the world. (Besides the West Village, of course.) Both Mitch’s belt and Noodle’s collar feature beach tags from southern Shore towns, like Ocean City, where we were married! Sigh.
Beautifully made and affordably priced, BeRibbon accessories are a great gift for someone you love… or for yourself! Take a look at the entire collection here. :) #jerseystrong
(P.S. — Noodle is clearly shouting, “Great job, Mitch!” Hehe…)
Kudos Mitch! Although he probably doesn’t want to hear me say how adorable this post is! We can blame the adorableness on Noodle!
I wish BeRibbon had hockey patterns. Bauer is named after the hockey brand. A cool leash he’d love…I just know it!
Susan-
This is my mother’s company, and she just put up some belts with hockey ribbon. She’s more than open to custom requests, so feel free to shoot her a message!
That’s awesome! I’ll go take a look again, Colleen! Thank you!
YES! Definitely go for a custom leash… They’re adorable!
Also, I read your comment to Mitch. I could tell it made his day, hehe. Thank you, Susan!
Kelly…ordered a custom hockey collar. MarySue (the owner) was simply amazing to work with!!! So excited!
What a stud!
Hehe! So cute that he agreed to do this, right?!
Mitch is such a good sport! That belt is really neat! Love that you featured an Etsy seller! Cheers to handmade!

Thanks, Meg! I’m constantly astounded by how creative people are. And yes, cheers to handmade, quality products… especially those from the Jersey Shore!
You need a frigging disclaimer that says how adorable this post is!

ME TOO! I totally wore jeans and a sweatshirt that day, hehe.
This is so fun Kelly! Mitch and Noodle look great, now he can start to see what you go through every day posing for pictures!

Thank you, Alex! Haha! True… though I think he’s more tortured in the photo-taking part of blogging. I’m always so grumpy!
OMG look how cute she is squeezing through the fence! And great job Mitch :)
Isn’t she precious?! But I have to say: I hate those fences. They’re everywhere in our neighborhood, and she’s just small enough that she can fit through. And of course, she never wants to come back through where she originally entered, and gets completely tangled up in her leash nearly every time. Oh, Noods. ;)
Hysterical!
You’ve got the blogger skinny arm on hip down, Mitch! But in all seriousness, you and Noodle look great. Wonderful shots of them, Kelly! :)
