Vote for Me! (Please!)

So... I was nominated (again!) for the 2014 Baltimore Sun Mobbies! I am so honored that Get Jessed Up has been nominated this year for Best Personal Blog and Best Fashion Blog! We've had a pretty good run so far with the Mobbies: in 2011, I won for Best New Blog, and in 2012, I won for best Fashion Blog.

And now, I have a favor to ask you guys...

I would love for all of your support to help Get Jessed Up bring home the titles! People can go in to the Mobbies site and vote once a day now through Nov. 19... and I would be flattered if you'd go in and vote for GJU for both categories. I don't think you have to vote for all of the categories- you can go in and vote just for the ones you want to. To make it as simple as possible for you, here's a button that will take you right over to the voting page:



Again, I'd like to thank everyone for continually supporting me and this blog. Get Jessed Up has become such a fun project for me, and taking home these titles would be the most delicious icing on the cake!

Until next time,
Jess

Thoughts and Prayers for Boston

In light of yesterday's tragic events at the Boston Marathon, I encourage you to take advantage of a simple daily opportunity: Take a moment to tell your friends, family, and everyone you love that you love them. Tomorrow is never promised.

That said, today's post is a collection of images from an article I stumbled upon a few months ago, titled, "21 Pictures That Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity."

These are just a handful of the images from the article. If you have a minute of free time today, I encourage you to look through the full article. If nothing else, it will leave you with a smile and perhaps a glimmer of hope. Today, my thoughts and prayers are with those in Boston. I have high hopes that they'll rise to the occasion and pull through this tragedy a stronger, even more united city.
