It’s Friday Darling,
Fri-nally! We made it! Is it just me or did this week fly by? I was just in New York last week and came back to a long to-do list!
I’ve grown up with a family business, which makes shopping local so important to me! Among the many benefits of shopping local, you are supporting your community and people’s dreams. I am doing a mini blog series on all of my favorite local places to shop that are totally worth checking out.
How perfect is this outfit for Fall? I got this amazing ensemble at the fabulous Mack and Mario boutique. It is a mobile boutique that travels around the greater Pittsburgh area. You all know that I am a dog lover so when I found out that Mack and Mario is named after the boutique owner’s two dachshunds I was immediately sold. Check out their site and shop their Instagram.
As I was shopping at the boutique I learned what Mack and Mario is all about. Lori, the owner, has some impressive stylist experience and travels the Pittsburgh area in her fashion truck to local events and private parties! You can Reserve the Mack and Mario fashion truck for your next home party! You provide the wine and Mack and Mario will come right to your door to style you and your girlfriends. Hostesses of the party will even get a discount. I don’t know about you, but a private shopping party sounds like so much fun!
3 Tips for Fall
Fall can be tough because we want to look seasonally appropriate but we never know if it is going to be in the 50’s or in the 80’s (Pittsburgh, am I right?). So, with that being said, I wanted to share my favorite tips for creating the perfect Fall outfit, even when it may not really feel like Fall weather.
Tip #1: Find the perfect short sleeve dress
I’m wearing a suede short sleeved dress from Mack and Mario that is the absolute perfect piece for Fall. The suede screams “Fall” while the short sleeve length says “I know you want to look cute but it is so hot. You’re welcome”
Tip #2: Layer
It is really that simple. Grab a jacket that you can keep with you for that annoying hot/cold day. I wore the leather jacket from Mack and Mario over my shoulders for a fun edgy look. I love the star details on this jacket.
Tip #3: Peep-toe shoes
Looks like booties…feels like sandals (close enough!)
Happy shopping!
