Happy Wednesday, friends!

so dope.  this tee, this collar.  the end.  

ok, for reals..  This Style Lately tee might just be my favorite yet.  It's just so classic, so simple, so dope.  And I have been wanted to try the pearl stud collar trend for awhile now.  Lucky for me, Emerald Bling always comes through with trendy baubles my closet needs.  It may not be an every day necklace, but it's just so much fun!

Happy July, people!

Who doesn't love a t-shirt?!?  I mean, really.  I love every type of t-shirt out there.  No man left behind.  But maybe a little favoritism with some of my tees.  And these two mint beauties have made it to the top of my list.

This Style Lately could not be more perfect for me.  It's my favorite color and describes a huge chunk of my life... beach bum.  This tank is great for a causal Summer look or for a dressier date ensem.  I loved pairing it with this gorgeous & flowy maxi from Bleue Boutique to balance out the tight-fit of the tank.  Have you guys shopped Bleue yet??!  SUPER obsessed!  I promise you will find some of the most unique pieces at amazing prices.  Make sure to checkout their Facebook page for new item previews! 

And because two tees are better than one .....  what NC girl wouldn't love a Gravel Road Tee !  These shirts are hand-stamped right here in NC & offer some quirky NC humor.  (And since I'm a true t-shirt collector you can trust me on this...  one of the softest tees ever.  )  Make sure to shop Gravel Road with code MODAMAR10 for 10% off!  And I will be hosting a Gravel Road Instagram Giveaway next week so check back!

Happy Monday, guys!

You may have noticed on Instagram over the weekend we finally got the boat in the water this weekend.  That is truly my happy place.  If it ever came down to it, the hubby and I would probably sell our cars before the boat.  Sunshine, salt water, good company and a few cocktails.  Today it is back to the grind with great memories and the first sunburn of the season....  

I tell you what, Style Lately simply kills it in the graphic-tee department.  Who doesn't love a statement tee?!  They can be dress up, like in my Lucky In Love post, paired with a blazer for a casual work look, or styled super-sporty like today's post.  And while I really think I  am issue-free these days (at least, emotionally) this shirt was a definite need.  

Thanks for reading!  Go crush your Monday!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I hope everyone had a great weekend full of green beer and good times.  And, I hope you're wearing green today so you don't get pinched!  Where is my green?  Perhaps you didn't notice the stunning Geneva Bib necklace from Trendz Boutique.  As they say, "it's all in the details," right?

Today my heart is full of love.  Not only for this precious love tee from Style Lately, but from the past weekend spent celebrating a bride-to-be.  The group of girls that came together to celebrate are truly incredible women.  They are all intelligent, accomplished, kind and hysterical.  And, they are all beautiful inside and out.  It was so wonderful to spend a weekend of wine and shenanigans with women who respect, encourage and support one another, and it made me so grateful to have met these gems over the years.  ...and some of them just might be on the blog later this week...Emily...

TGIF on the real!

This graphic hoodie from my friends at Style Lately expresses my only plans for this weekend.  Have you subscribed to Style Lately yet?  They feature some pretty necessary trends at some pretty incredible prices.  I also have this leather pencil skirt and a practical #selfie tee on my wishlist.  

And while we are on the subject, let's talk about my style lately.  Random as ever, I know.  In the past two weeks I have been dishing out complete prep, winter boho, corporate wear and a little street style.  But I am ok with it...and I hope you are too.  Who wants to dress like a bohemian goddess when you feel like a complete bada** some days.  Different attitudes call for different fashion.  And I finally broke down and bought wedge sneakers.  They were on major clearance and I was tired of having an internal battle over them for the past year.  I wore them to dinner last Friday, and I slightly regretted my decision when the 17 year old in attendance asked for the deets...  But I decided that I am going to wear wedge sneakers in the back-half of my twenties and I am going to love them.  

There will be a rare Saturday post on Moda & the Mar tomorrow, so make sure to come back!

Thanks for reading!  I hope you have a fabulous weekend!  Linkups below.
