ok, shock time.  are you sitting down?  you may need to sit down...

this is my first blanket scarf.  yep.  told you it was a shock.  they were threatening revocation on my blogger title.  i had to cave....  and now i am completely smitten with this Pink Pineapple Shop scarf and will surely become an addict!  i loved welcoming home this pumpkin spice scarf as my first one and not the typical red plaid.  the colors in this one are gorgeous and pair so well with my fall wardrobe!  but don't worry, PPS still has the classic red & tan scarf for you other newbies.

for those of you who already have baskets of blanket scarves, i wanted to show a unique way to style them.  i love belting them over a dress that it might otherwise be too cold to wear.  this lace boho dress from Sugar Love Boutique is gorgeous but not too insulating.  add a scarf overlay, a jacket & boots.  done.  

i hope everyone has a great weekend!  i will actually have posts up tomorrow & sunday.  and there are a couple of amazing secret sale codes & a giveaway lined up for next week!

can the weather puh puh puh pleeeease make up its mind.  I'm not going to complain about the 80 degree October days (especially when I have adorable long sleeve rompers to wear like this one from Sugar Love Boutique.)  but the fact that temp is dropping to 35 in just three days makes me cray.  

smile, it's friday eve!

Reunited and it feels SO gooooood.....

Back in neutrals today and I am LOVING IT.  Something about these grey scales and warm red monogrammed tote feels so cozy.  Perhaps it's the super soft fringe infinity scarf from Sugar Love Boutique!  

I don't know how I've made it this far without a chambray shirtdress.  No joke.  Possibly the most comfy & chic piece hanging in my closet right now.  

I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Happy Sunday, loves!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  While you were enjoying your brunch & mimosas did you check out my skincare post yesterday?

I honestly believe sweaters were created for Sunday afternoons.  There is nothing better than throwing on a cozy knit cardi & snuggling up when you are more than slightly hungover.  This one from Sugar Love Boutique has been on heavy rotation the last week.  It's just SO cozy and I love the bold print!  This magenta swing dress from Pink Blush is the perfect compliment to the sweater.  It layers perfectly and still gives that easy-breezy feel.  I'll tell you - I sure do get hooked on a color fast!  I'm sure you'll see more magenta on M&M this fall & winter!

I am also beyond hooked on my new vegan leather cuff from Gotham Decay.  The heavy gold latch & python print make me feel like a modern Wonder Woman. (and like a complete bada**)  It really is the perfect chunky accessory for your heavier fall pieces.  And you can feel great wearing it know that it's a cruelty-free, vegan-approved cuff.  These cuffs come in a variety of sizes with several gorgeous colors/materials, clasps, zippers and even spikes to choose from!

Happy hump day, friends!

Today is SUCH  a hard day.  The parents are in route back to Ohio and I am back to work.  so hard. 

I had such a lovely time with them over my mini staycation!  We finally had a touch of cool weather and the traffic has slowed in our small beach town.  Honestly, September & October are my FAVORITE months here!  It's still warm enough to enjoy a boat ride or beach day, but all of the "mainlanders" are gone and you're not sweating your tush off.  

Another favorite of mine is this lace & frill combo I am sporting today!  This sheer lace peplum blouse from Sugar Love Boutique is so feminine!  It would also be gorgeous with distressed denim & pointed toe flats.  However, I chose to pair the slight bit of peplum with this steal-of-a-deal flounce skirt for a little extra volume.  This mini black set definitely got the hubby's seal of approval!

DON'T FORGET... today is the last day to enter the Bindya NY scarf GIVEAWAY !

It's FRiiiiiiday !!  

Technically it's the first day of my mini-staycation.  That's right, this girl isn't reporting back to the office until Wednesday.  Mis Padres are coming to town and I couldn't be more excited to get a few hugs & laughs in.  AAnd this trip means they are house-shopping for their forever home & will share a zip-code with me for the first time in 11 years.  

The fact is it is still very much Summer in Eastern NC.  Like, 90 degrees Summer.  So this sleeveless cardi vest from Sugar Love Boutique is the perfect laying item that feels like Fall but feels like Summer.  Ya feel me?

Happy Thursday, babes!

Easing into Fall layers is easy with this lightweight kimono cardi from Sugar Love Boutique.  I love the tribal print & frayed edges.  It makes for such a perfect layer on 90 degree days!  Kinomos and long cardigans are also one of my work-wear tricks.  They allow me to wear dresses that would otherwise be semi inappro.  ie: this dress has a sheer back and I have to cover it up with something for work.
