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

With all the Black Friday sales happening earlier than ever it can get a tad confusing.  So I thought it best to break down my top 5 weekend sales and share what I’m buying for friends, family and myself of course.  Like these C. Wonder Snow Day appetizer plates, the necklace I’ve been swooning over from Lulu, a little Piperlime sparkle for NYE, a blanket that’s just Bien from Madewell, and I mean how was I supposed to pass up the sale on sale from Tory Burch?!  Happy shopping Loves! Truly, MKR

I’m sure you all know by now (because I can’t stop talking about it) that Waiting On Martha, The Shop, has popped up for 6 short weeks at Shops Around Lenox.  It’s been a whirlwind of a ride, but I’ve been loving (almost) every minute of it.  Our 5,000 square foot space is stocked with everything you can always find on our site plus 100’s of new products that are exclusive to our Pop Up and we’ve brought a few local friendors (Res Ipsa, Ashley Woodson Bailey, Ice Milk Aprons, Red’s Outfitters, and Avindy) in on the fun as well.   

This weekend we’ll be offering 10% off store wide, a trunk show with Gunner & Lux and Little Lux; have you read their story yet (I plan on snatching up this and this)!?  Plus you know it wouldn’t be my kind of weekend without homemade goodies, warm cider and a cocktail or two.  So after you’re fully satiated from your Thanksgiving feast I hope you’ll stop in and #getyourjingleon with us!  Truly, MKR
