Our holiday photo shoot took us to a majestic mountain house in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, a picturesque town located in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains. We were inspired by holiday travel plans and long weekend getaways with friends and family. When we weren’t shooting the collection, we were out and about and exploring the sights, tasting the food and taking in the scenery of the area. Here are some of our favorite spots and outfits to pack for a weekend away in the Berkshires.

Our winter capsule wardrobe includes the perfect way to style our chic Lori Leggings in Faux Leather for wherever your holiday plans may take you. Whether you're headed to holiday cocktails with friends to a night at the theatre, we've teamed up with Meghan Donovan of Wit & Whimsy to put together our favorite staple pieces that are perfect for your holiday weekend plans.

The holiday season at J.McLaughlin is all about J-O-Y. We're celebrating the joy of spending time with family, the joy of yearly traditions like making Barbara McLaughlin's Meyer Lemon Marmalade and enjoying the Park Avenue tree lighting, and, of course, the joy of gifting. We can't wait to help you shop for and wrap up great gifts that will make your loved ones smile. 'Tis the season of holiday shopping, J.McLaughlin style. We are excited to spread #TheJoyofJMcL with you and those near and dear to your heart.

Heading into late fall and the holiday season is truly the best time for entertaining and celebrating with friends and family. We're excited for tailgating and shopping the farmer's market for local finds. With entertaining in mind, we talked to Dan Kish, owner of Millbrook’s Mabbettsville Market and Hunt & Harvest Catering, to share some of his favorite tricks of the trade for late fall entertaining, from Thanksgiving feasts to holiday potlucks and everything in-between.
