I had been searching, and I mean searching, for an off the shoulder dress forever.  You’d think that be easy right?  Wrong.  Wrong because I not only needed an off the shoulder dress, but an off the shoulder dress with sleeves that was able to be dressed up with heels and statement earrings or dressed down with beach appropriate sandals.  So you can only imagine my excitement when I stumbled across this gem, which I’ve worn about a dozen times now and don’t foresee stopping any time soon.  Tell me, are you liking the resurgence of the cold shoulder?  Truly, MKR

Here’s to all of those reasons we love Mom.  You know, those little things that instantly transport you back to being a kid, no matter your age.  It’s the bowl of soup she brings over when you’re under the weather.  It’s the perfectly-cut grilled cheese sandwich that just tastes better than yours ever will.  It’s the pile of warm, freshly-folded laundry she still does when you’re visiting. It’s your favorite pie she bakes just because you’re home.  It’s the sweet card she’ll send to you on your birthday with a one-liner that makes you smile. It’s the wink you see as you leave for your next adventure. It’s the care package you receive with all of your favorite things. It’s the hug you need when you’re feeling down.  It’s the joy you share with her when you have great news. It’s the way she’s always there.

Moms are the best.  And this is a little ode to our moms, and yours at home, on this Mother’s Day. How will you celebrate your mom? Cheers, Kat

Happy Day, it’s our founder and creative director Mandy Kellogg Rye’s birthday today! Aside from her brilliant ideas she inspires us with on the daily, and on top of her genuine compassion to help others, her everyday joy is just truly contagious.  I think you’d all join me in saying how much Mandy deserves one heck of an HBD (hip lingo for “happy birthday”). So in honor of the birthday girl herself, I rounded up five fun ways to celebrate MKR.

Please join the team in wishing Mandy the best birthday ever and thanking her for all of the inspiration to create a beautiful day every day here on WOM!  Tag @waitingonmartha and use #HBDMandy in your snaps on Instagram/Twitter/Facebook as you bring home fresh blooms, pour yourself some vino, cook for family and friends, mix up a little libation, and snuggle with your furry friend.  Happy, happy birthday, Mandy!  Cheers, Kat
