In theory I love sequins, tulle, extra large bows, and all things girly.  In reality when I try to pull of sequins, tulle, or extra large bows I feel, well, not at all like myself.  So when I spied this black and gold sequin skirt from Milly I immediately knew two things; I had to have it and if I was going to do sequins I had to do them my way.  My way means down playing the sequin skirt with an everyday cashmere sweater and not over-doing it on the accessories.  So if you’ve been hesitating on pulling the sequin skirt trigger (there’s more options than ever to choose from) I say go for it and just make it your own!  Truly, MKR

One of my goals as of late is to get my derrière back in the gym.  When I lived in Chicago I was so structured with my routine of weekly pilates, strength training, and cardio, but ever since I moved and started WOM working out has taken a major back seat and I’m really starting to feel it.  And not just in the way my clothes seem to be a tad tighter, but also my overall health.  But getting back in the groove is the hardest thing to do!  I’m not sure if it’s the time I can’t seem to make or that I haven’t found my Atlanta niche…I’ve tried pilates, hot yoga, the gym, and even crossfit!  But I’m more determined then ever to make it a priority again so my Loves I’m putting it out into the void; what works for you?  What makes you lose the extra weight, feel energized, and help regain your sanity?!  Please spill your secrets, I need to know!  Truly, MKR

P.S.  And while this may have been one of my more awkward stories to photograph (fake running anyone?) a few quick truths:  I actually do workout with my gigantic (yet fabulous) Frends headphones.  I find the little ear buds fall out too easily while running which does nothing but frustrate me.  And I also workout sans socks.  My Nike’s are just so light and comfortable I find no socks are needed.  And my bright pink lip?  Depends on the day.

When I first spied this shaggy little sweater from Free People I knew I had to have it.  Part Snuffleupagus part Kate Moss and all me I love it paired with my Paige Denim black jeans, favorite hat, and little black booties all which I’m sure you’re tired of seeing on the Blog by now, but what can I say, I love what I love.  Truly, MKR

P.S.  How fun are these photos from the amazingly talented Luke Schneider, a Chicago photographer and new and fast friend of mine!?  If you’re in Chicago and in need of some great shots he is your guy.  Love him!
