It's FALL, y'all!


With the temperates in Tallahassee dropping this past game day weekend, we not only gave our wardrobes an update, but our nails too! However, no one knows better than us Florida girls that fall takes it time getting here. So while we’re not quite ready to put on our oversized sweaters and Bean boots, we have to bid farewell to cut offs and flip flops. Enter the perfect fall transition outfit. It maintains summer’s bright, bold looks, while not seeming out of place in October. As for our nails, we’re keeping them neutral, but anything but dull. Here are the M&M Girls’ tips and tricks for creating a fresh new look that welcomes fall while still embracing that summer sparkle.

Seminole fans rejoice! Garnet just happens to be the “it” color this season! Universally flattering on all skin tones, it comes as no surprise we chose garnet as the main color for this outfit. A sleeveless dress in this gorgeous fall-friendly shade keeps us looking cool and feeling cool while the weather is still warm.

While you may think bright and bold are reserved for the summer months, dare to play up an outfit with a pop of color. And what better way to do so than with our favorite accessory: the scarf! It makes a great replacement for a statement necklace and the possibilities for styling are endless. For this look, we chose a brilliant blue pattern to really amp up the dress’s hue. Tip: tie knots at the ends of the scarf to polish up the look!

Truth be told: we rock cowboy boots all year long, but we love ‘em this season the best! You already know boots with a sundress is a winning combination, but pairing them with an outfit on the dressier side is a balance of country and chic that we just can’t resist!

You can’t have garnet without gold, so we opted for a thick stack of bangles to adorn this look. We’re not afraid of a little glitter here at M&M and for us, gold is as good of a neutral as black or tan. To complete our perfect fall transition outfit, we went with our favorite nail polish, Julep, in the color “Mahima.” Gorgeous doesn’t even begin to describe this. An amber gold creme, it’s the quintessential autumn nail color for the girl who wants to stand out in a sea of dark manicures. We love Julep because not only do their polishes make our nails beautiful on the outside, their formulas are made to keep nails healthy too! Check out their wide range of colors and products on their website, http://julep.com


As for the outfit, we have all the pieces you need to recreate this look and many more at our Mahan location.  See you soon for this look and many more!

How do you PIKO?


With the temperatures dropping, the leaves changing color, and college football Saturdays, what could be better than Tallahassee in the fall? Here at M&M Monogramming, dressing for the season is our favorite part! Fall fashion is all about being cute and comfortable, which is why Piko tops and dresses are an absolute staple in our wardrobe this time of year. With a wide variety of colors and material as soft as you can imagine, Piko tops are loose and tight in all the right places, making them incredibly versatile and universally flattering. To put it simply, you’ll want to wear yours everyday!

Piko tops and dresses can be dressed up or down, so whether you’re running errands, brunching with friends, or cheering on our Noles at a tailgate, all you need is the right accessories and you’re ready to go.


Check out how the girls at M&M styled our favorite Piko (and Piko-inspired) fall looks!


1. It wouldn’t be a fall blog post without a tailgating outfit and this Piko dress ($29) in “wine” is the perfect color to root for our Seminole boys in. Cooler weather means new accessories, so opt for a gold infinity scarf ($16) instead of a necklace on a chillier game day. Psst... you can even have it monogrammed!

2. Go green this season! Like Lilly Pulitzer, we love to embrace bright colors all year round in Florida, but this dark green is the ideal way to welcome autumn into your wardrobe. Our Piko top in olive green looks gorgeous with any skin tone and hair color. Give it a feminine touch with some statement jewelry, like this bold white necklace ($40).

3. Can you tell we love scarves? Tassels are all the rage right now and they make this beautiful blue scarf ($24) hard to resist. The pop of color brings a little bit of summer into fall and contrasted with a simple striped Piko-inspired top ($24), makes for the perfect balance of casual and trendy.

4. Didn’t know you could be comfy and chic? Then you’ve never tried on a black Piko dress ($29)! It goes with everything and the fit and color look stunning on. Style it with an ornate statement necklace for a dressier, but weather-appropriate look. This beaded garnet and gold one ($24) is one of our bestsellers this year and looks fabulous whether you’re in the stadium or out on the town.

Do we have you convinced? Come visit us at our Mahan location for these looks and more!

XOXO,
The girls @ M&M
