Okay, so I know it’s not officially fall yet, but really in my mind it is. I’ve already had my first PSL (pumpkin spice latte) of the season, I created and styled a Halloween photoshoot last week, I’m burning a brand spanking new heirloom pumpkin candle as we speak (type), and fall arrivals have begun to make their way into The Shop. And if that wasn’t enough this little gem of a video (above) arrived in my inbox last night.
If you follow along on Instagram you probably saw all the bts (behind the scenes) pics during a “Harvest Dinner” themed shoot I created for Occasions Magazine a few months back. Well that baby is about to hit the stands which means I get to begin sharing everything will all of you Loves now! So I’m calling it, declaring it right here…in my world fall is officially upon us. (Yes I know there’s still pictures of a women frolicking in a caftan on the beach on The Shop site…I’m working on it people). Anyway, to kick it all off I thought I’d share this behind the scenes video of the shoot. A 10 hour shoot in the blazing sun (blazing sun…I jumped in the pool to cool off mid day) up at the gorgeous Inn of Serenbe. Keep in mind, this is strictly behind the scenes…just a taste if you will. Something to get you in that cooler weather state of mind.
Speaking of cooler weather…next week I’ll be talking my fall fashion must haves (perfectly timed with NYFW) and then I’ll officially be sharing all of this shoot’s stunning pics, where to buy, cocktail recipes, etc. with you on the 23rd, when the calendar actually reads fall. In the meantime, enjoy the smooth sounds of Van Morrison and my open love letter to the season. Happy weekend! truly, MKR
P.S. it takes an army to pull off shoots like this…big, big hugs to Rustic White Photography, Imagine Video Production, Blue Eyed Yonder, Gertie Mae’s Florals, Anne Kathleen Cakes, Ross Sveback, Ashley Buzzy McHugh, Boxwoods, Bloomingdales, Occasions Magazine, Serenbe, Brielle Brenner, MichelleMcCoy, Clare, Richard, my dearest Mother, and the Mr.

Serenbe is so, so amazing! Go when they have their open farmers market which I think is on Saturday. And their Sunday brunch is amazing! xo
Thank you my friend! It was an amazing shoot I can’t wait to share more. Big hugs! xo
Thank you friend! That’s the thing about living in the South…it’s still basically summer. However fall lasts here for like 3 months as compared to 2 weeks in Chicago! xo
