About Me




 I am a 20 - something newlywed living in Eastern North Carolina with a stubborn Springer Spaniel and a spoiled 10 lb. Shih Tzu.  By day I am part of corporate America working in personal finance and trying to make 9-5 a little more fashionable.  After graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from Salem College, I moved to the beach and met my husband in of all places, a bar.   


I started Moda & the Mar to share my love of fashion and my personal style journey in a small coastal town.  I have been "dressing" myself since Pre-K.  Frequently coming home with ruffles and bows permanently removed from clothing, or dressed in the spare outfit I hid in my bookbag since my parents wouldn't let me wear it.  My personal style has definitely evolved with age, but I hope to inspire you with a modern style which blurs the lines between preppy, boho and edgy.  You are never too old to play dress up. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please feel free to email me with any questions or post requests at:  modaandthemar@gmail.com
