the sequins are out of the closet.  it's O-ficially the holiday season.

i tried my best to find some similar tops to this one from last year.  it's actually a peplum top that i have tucked in, so keep your mind open when shopping!  if you aren't scared of sleeveless options, this sequin tank is a little bit of Heaven.

Working To Play

Piperlime shift dress c/o | Piperlime python pumps c/o | Ily Couture necklace c/o |

denim jacket ; shop denim jacket options here | Swagger Gifts clutch c/o

 Daniel Wellington watch c/o - used code holiday_modaandthemar for 15% off

so i love work wear just as much as the next gal.  truly i do.  but sometimes us worker bees have after-work social lives and don't want to look stiff or corporate.  the best way to change your look for a night cap?  swap the jacket. 

this classic navy shift from Piperlime is nothing short of perfection.  it is so me, it's ridiculous.  one of my favorite colors, classic, timeless, versatile.  i'm in love.  BUT i wanted to make sure that when i take of my blazer i can still look relaxed & ready for a toddy.  and since it's still warm on the east coast, i can get away with wearing my trusty denim jacket.  denim has a way of making things appear more casual, which is exactly what i wanted to accomplish with my little shift dress.  

i could have also swapped out my pumps for something a little more flirty, but when your heels are this hot you have to run with it.  i am beyond in love with the unique shape of these python pumps.  the quality & fit are amazing and i appreciate the lower heel that lets me work in them all day & still go out on the town!

aaaand we're back!

i hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, black friday & weekend in general.  i took a little time after T-day to unplug and enjoy family.  and i did the majority of my black friday shopping from the comfort of my own couch.   my parents & I actually did a little "shop local" black friday shopping.  we browsed & shopped antique stores and local boutiques along the waterfront.  it was infinitely better than fighting crazy people in a mall.  

so now it's Cyber Monday, which  means more steals & deals!  and is there anything better to shop from home in than a lux sweatshirt & leopard sneakers?  didn't think so.  and lucky for you guys, BOTH of these items are 30% off right now!  the entire Sugar Love Boutique site is 30% off today & Piperlime is also offering 30% off sitewide & 40% off sale items!
