What I’m Packing…Bachelor Gulch

Filed Under > Noted By

bachelor gulch

Today is a happy day.  Why you ask?  Well from beside it being another day where I get to wake up and be with all of you, today is especially happy because it’s the day before I leave for Bachelor Gulch.  That’s right.  Tomorrow I’ll be swishing down the ski hill, drinking hot toddys, and disconnecting from the world.  I. CANNOT. WAIT.  

But before I can enjoy happy hour on the mountain I have a few last minute boxes to check off my list.  Namely, packing.  Packing for a ski trip is always tough as there’s so much gear I need to take and since I’m an over-packer in general I always end up with about 3 checked bags.  Though truth be told I’ve learned to embrace my over-packing spirit and just roll with it.  So my Loves, here is what you’ll find in 1 of my 3 suitcases.  truly, MKR

  1. My new favorite Harding Lane throwback ski hat.  So cozy and warm, plus I love the old school vibe.  I’m VERY casual on the hill. 
  2. Red’s sunnies.  Bold and fun, plus polarized which is a necessity for spring skiing.
  3. Flask to aid in chair lift warmth.
  4. Bobbi Brown beach body oil.  Yes it’s called beach body oil, but it’s the most amazing for dry skin.  Plus I love the smell of beach and suntan lotion no matter what the weather.
  5. Buddha necklace, because I need a little sparkle and shine.
  6. Madewell muscle tee.  The perfect casual throw on.
  7. The Goldfinch to read by the fire.
  8. Laceless sneaks.  The easiest thing to slip on after being in ski boots all day.
  9. Rifle Paper Travel Journal to capture the memories.
  10. Hot Toddy.  No explanation needed.
  11. Rebecca Minkoff for Frends headphones.  These come with interchangeable plates and a must for the plane and hill.
  12. Star sparkler wand to celebrate the Mr.’s birthday on Thursday!
  13. My signature pink lip.
  14. Bkr water bottle.  It’s all about hydration.

November's Guest Curator…Emily Ley

Filed Under > Noted By

Well Loves, it’s the start of a new month, November, can you hardly believe it?  Which means it’s time to introduce y’all to our newest guest curator, and honestly I couldn’t be more thrilled with who we have gracing our Shop this month.  Mrs. Emily Ley.  One of the best, and most unexpected parts of my job is meeting and forging these amazing relationships with some of our Shop’s vendors, and Emily definitely has a place in my heart.  Obviously I love her “simplified” yet gorgeous designs (wait till you see her newest gem that’ll be gracing our virtual shelves later this month), but really it’s her Southern charm and the truly honest way she shares her family focused life with all that wins me, and thousands of others over.

Emily began designing many years ago – “with a box of colored envelopes and the fanciest fonts on the block.” And now The Emily Ley brand has grown into something that “sets her heart on fire.”  In her own words, “I don’t design all of this just because I love gorgeous monograms or fresh, preppy patterns and colors. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take a crisp circle monogram on just about anything (just ask my husband!) but really it’s about making life just a little sweeter…let’s simplify life so that we can take care of our need-tos and focus on our want-tos. Let’s ditch that standard of perfection and embrace a simpler, more family-focused lifestyle. Let’s focus on what really matters. And let’s have a little more fun!”  I mean seriously, doesn’t she sound like a gal we all need to know?

You can shop her collection HERE through the month of November, and to help everyone have a little more fun we’re offering 15% off the ENTIRE Shop through the 10th with code EMILYLEY15.  Now don’t we wish all Fridays could start like this?  TGIF Loves.  truly, MKR
