Who Says Mom's Can't Sparkle, Too?!

Not only is Pink Slip catering to young fashionistas, but with the introduction of our separates collection we have clothes for all of you trendy women. Yes, moms too! Our boutique-style clothing includes blazers, tanks, skirts, casual dresses and flashy tops. Who says moms can't sparkle, too?! Not us! That means that all of you stylish moms out there can find something for yourselves as well as your daughters, nieces, friends and sisters when you shop at Pink Slip.

With the holidays and new year approaching, this is the perfect time to revamp your wardrobe and add a little extra Pink Slip flare. That is why we are offering 20% off of the casual collection during "The 25 Days of Sparkle!" Make sure to check back so you don't miss this great deal. We love that we are able to cater to this new group of clients, the moms disguised as fashionistas, with the introduction of our separates collection.

Here are some of our favorite fashion trends for moms this season:
- Ruffles
- Menswear (blazers, military-style jackets and peacoats)
- Equestrian-style riding boots
- Metallic colors (the new neutral!)
- Cropped pants
- Glitz, glam, sparkle and studs

And while we're talking about stylish moms, make sure to check out Barbara Streisand in her new movie "The Guilt Trip" with Seth Rogen that opens in theaters December 19th. Pink Slip will be raffling two pairs of tickets to see the advanced screening of "The Guilt Trip" on December 9th. The screening will be held on December 18th at 7PM at AMC River East in Chicago.

We Love: The iPad Mini

We are proud Apple supporters here at Pink Slip Boutique so it's only fitting that we are infatuated with their newest gadget, the iPad mini! The mini is thinner and lighter than it's tablet rivals and also has a bigger screen. TOTAL BONUS! In our mind it’s unquestionably the nicest-looking, best built and most premium compact tablet on the market. Coming from iPad owners, we believe that the mini will prove to serve its users better than the previous generations. Some people thought that using their older iPads was similar to using a laptop, so what was the point in investing in both? In our opinion, the bigger screen and smaller size make things such as reading and transporting the device much easier. Maybe people who were once opposed to the iPad will see a greater use for it with the new makeover! But you don't have to convince us to put an iPad mini on the top of our Christmas lists, it's been there for weeks!

Model of the Week: Amanda Litviak

Look at this knock-out! Amanda Litviak was a model in our fashion show, The Nutcracker (Not So) Suite. Can you believe that this babe came straight from basketball practice?! We wish that we were able to look half as good! We know what you're thinking, and yes, we agree...she would TOTALLY put those Victoria Secret models to shame! Amanda wore an incredible custom dress by Pink Slip's beloved designer, Jessica Bohler. The's dress was definitely a show-stopper, to say the least.

 Jessica and Amanda

The highlight of the dress was the back! It was open with a chiffon bow that tied behind her neck. Absolutely stunning!
