TGIF friends!

 

How amazing is the color of this Pink Slate Boutique blazer ??!!?  I almost have to agree with the description that it is Better Than a Boyfriend.  This is such a versatile piece that can be paired causally with jeans and a tee or styled for work over a dress.  The material is lightweight so it's great for layering.  I am already considering the vest/coat combos I can pair once our temps decide to drop below 70 degrees again.  The hue is so rich in person and the stripped lining on the cuffs are perfection.  If blue isn't your jam, don't worry.  Pink Slate carries this blazer in 6 different colors.  I already have the coral and yellow on my wish-list.  The best news - you can stock up on blazers and other fun unique pieces with a sweet 20% discount.  Just use MODANDTHEMAR at checkout to save!  Pink Slate is one of my favorite boutiques to order from.  They are truly there to help make sure you love your Pink Slate purchases and experience.  And they get the fit dead on every time.  They are always stocking new pieces (including some perfect fleece leggings right now) so go peruse and pick up a few goodies!

 

Confession time:  I have worn this Shop Trendz turquoise splendor necklace for three days in a row now.  It is just so fabulous I cannot leave it at home.  And everyday I have had someone stop me to ask the deets of the necklace.  Shop Trendz carries so many unique accessories and has quickly become one of my favorite new shops. 

 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  I will be on the blogging scene all next week with some fun pieces so make sure to come hang out with me in between showings of A Christmas Story!

TGIF on the real!  Has anyone else's week seemed extremely long?  Perhaps time has been dragging because my BFF of 10 years now is coming to visit today, and we haven't seen each other since my wedding {May 2012}.  You all know that in bestie-years this is pretty much a decade.  I can't wait to do the scream, hug-too-tightly, jump-up-and-down girly reunion - anyone else with me on that?  Even better, she is bringing my furry "nephew" with her whom I haven't seen since he was a puppy. 

 

I am also excited for today, marking a full week of blogging on the regular.  And what better way to round out week one than with this sassy number from Pink Slate Boutique!  Ya'll, I just couldn't help myself with the title of this post {yes, I realize it's going to be stuck in your head all day now}.  I was singing to myself the entire time taking pics, and during a few breaks to shimmy in the dress. Do you want to hear the best part of this post??  Pink Slate Boutique is offering 20% off your entire order with code MODAANDTHEMAR.  So, go scoop up some adorable fall pieces and treat yourself this weekend!

 

 I discovered Pink Slate awhile back through Instagram and I can't tell you how much I love the shop and the girls behind it. They are so upfront and helpful, it makes it a joy to shop the boutique.  This "Shimmy the Night Away" dress just screamed my name!  You can't find a better piece for date night/dancing.  I threw a long blazer over it for structure and warmth.  I have been favoring this blazer from Forever 21 as of late.  It's a nice change from a jacket to throw over jeans and a tee or a fun dress.  I kept the heels neutral and for pops of color I added a few favorite cobalt accessories and the Reece & Blaire baubles I just can't seem to take off. 

 

Thanks for reading!  I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
