I’ve always been a fan of a great at-home bar. I strongly believe it’s a must-learn life skill to mix up classic cocktails, and as an avid host, it’s important to provide an array...
Looking back on Easter as a child, I remember how excited I was to dig through my Easter basket. Full of chocolate bunnies, malt ball Easter eggs, Peeps, golden coins, and my favorite Cadbury...
Lets be honest, salads can be boring. So I’m always trying to think outside of the box to come up with salad recipes that I’ll thoroughly enjoy, but are beyond easy to make. Enter...

If anything is off the shoulder, you can count me in. I mean a dress like this is just so comfortable, so easy and so chic. It only made sense to complete the look with a bandana silk scarf and my favorite Balenciaga wedges. I’ve actually had this scarf since Christmas; it was a gift from my husband, and I’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to wear it. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to channel an inner safari-chic vibe for a super easy summertime look. Truly, MKR

On Sunday I’m hoping on a jet plane with Occasions Magazine and heading to the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. I’ve been dying to go to Atlantis for years and I couldn’t be more thrilled, giddy, jumping for joy, to finally be experiencing it for the Magazine. But before I can dip my toes in that crystal blue water I’ve got a lot of essentials to buy, packing to do, and SPF to slather on to become Island Ready. Luckily my friends over at Pomegranate have made the what to pack part a tad easier.
You’ve heard me talk about Pomegranate before as they are one of my absolute favorite brands and their summer line is always something to covet. From their kaftans and tunics to their soon to be released bathing suits (you will die at how amazing they are), I can always count on Pomegranate for easy, warm weather style. And because Pomegranateshares my deep love for the islands (they always shoot their look books in the Bahamas) I’ve teamed up with them to share my 15 island essentials plus we’re giving away one of their tassel shawls and striped raffia clutches to TWO lucky readers! My essentials and giveaway details are below, and I’m off to pack. Happy Monday and good luck Loves! truly, MKR
1 ||Pomegranate Tassel Shawls (Coral & Navy). These versatile shawls are my go-to all summer long. They’re perfect as a cover up, a scarf, and even a beach blanket.
2 ||BaubleBar Mini Icon Stud Set. Earrings that are unfussy enough to be worn while lounging in the sand, plus I love the different mismatched combinations you can create.
3 ||St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse. I’ve tried a lot of fake tanning lotions. A lot. And the St. Tropez is by far the easiest to apply with the most natural coloring.
4 || Essie nail polish. A bright pink for my hands and toes.
5 ||Pomegranate Striped Raffia Clutch. My new favorite summertime clutch that’s not even available to purchase online yet!
6 || Gold & GrayBuddha Necklace. An easy way to accent any outfit, day or night.
7 ||Karen Walker Super Duper Sunnies. Extra large, sun blocking sunnies.
9 || Nordstrom’s Serape Blanket. A beach blanket big enough for me, my mags, and my margaritas.
10 || SuperGoop SPF 30 Lip Balm. This protective lip balm doesn’t leave my side during summer months
11 || Explorer Series Camera Snorkel. The perfect way to capture all of my under water adventures. Though if I’m being honest I’m a tad scared of the ocean, or rather sharks, jelly fish, and anything that could bring bodily harm. Hopefully this is a fear I’ll be conquering next week so stay tuned.
12 || Tory Burch Sandals. You had me at clear straps and gold bows.
13 || Jack Black SPF 45 Sun Guard. One of my absolutely favorite product lines, I’m addicted to the lip balm.
14 || NARS Body Glow. I’ve been slathering this on for over a decade now. It gives you just the right, well…glow, and it smells heavenly!
15 || Gold & Gray Tassel Bracelets. These handmade, beaded bracelets look great on the beach and at dinner.

Whether you’re a long time reader or new to WOM, you’ll know that we’re serious about our entertaining game, especially when it involves some twinkle lights and warm summer nights. There’s really nothing quite like summer entertaining.
So when PAMA Liqueur invited me to show them how I celebrate summer, I said sign me up. I got to taste-testing and mixing with its pomegranate liqueur, and knew I had just the tasty libation to serve at a summer party. And many of you know that I love to get creative with my margaritas, but I must say that these Pomegranate Margaritas may just be my best yet. The Pomegranate Liqueur brings you the most refreshing flavor for your summertime sippin’, and when it’s combined with the tequila, lime and agave, it really just can’t be beat.
PAMA wants to bring your entertaining dreams to life this summer (think delicious cocktails, tasty bites and all your favorites under twinkle lights). Simply share how you would celebrate summer in PAMA Liqueur’s Celebrate Summer contest for a chance to win $250 or $500 plus a party kit for a summer soiree of your own. Let’s just say that this contest has our name written all over it, and we’ll be busy pinning entertaining inspiration all summer long! Truly, MKR
