Weekend Updates

What I've been up to this weekend (according to my trusty Instagram feed — follow me @mackenziehoran)...

Packing pretty orders... This one happens to contain my favorite tray and the ever-popular ginger jar matches.

Receiving a lovely package from Waiting On Martha, including this gorgeous rose quartz bracelet. So sweet!

Indulging in some yummy treats, including an Arnold Palmer on Friday afternoon (you already know they're my favorite from this pencil set!) and Sunday brunch at the Martha Stewart-recommended SoNo Baking Company & Cafe. Deeelish!

April showers bring May flowers...

Here's hoping, anyway! We've had quite a few gray days in Connecticut this week and I'm looking forward to fewer clouds and more sunshine. In the mean time here's a little rainy day wardrobe inspiration to keep you pretty when it's pouring...

Kain sweater / Loren Hope tassel necklace / MoMA sky umbrella (how fun is this?)

7 For All Mankind skinny jeans / Hunter rain boots (I have them in black!)


The MoMA store was kind enough to send me their sky umbrella in celebration of their twentieth anniversary and is graciously offering all readers 20% off with the code SKY20 through April 30! It's the perfect pick to keep you thinking of blue skies when the weather's less than favorable.

What do you wear to keep chic during a downpour?
