It’s Lovely to Meet You
I’m Katie. I’m drawn to crisp striped sweaters, well-set tables, weekend escapes, and the simple pleasure of a slow morning with a coffee in hand.

My Spring Capsule Wardrobe
Each spring I find myself craving a simpler wardrobe. After months of heavy sweaters and winter layers, it feels refreshing to return to lighter pieces that can mix and match effortlessly. For this season, I built a capsule wardrobe centered around a classic palette of navy, cream, black, and denim.

The Sunday Dispatch
As we move even closer to spring, I’ve been finding inspiration in small moments throughout the week. A day trip into the city, a few new pieces I’m considering for the season ahead, and even a long overdue rewatch of Mad Men have all been adding little sparks of creativity to my routine.

What to do in NYC this Spring
There’s something especially energizing about New York in the spring. After months of gray skies and heavy coats, the city finally starts to feel lighter: cafés put out their sidewalk tables, Central Park begins to bloom, and people linger outside a little longer than usual.

What to Wear to the MET Museum
Few places in New York City feel as inspiring to me as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is one of my favorite places to spend an afternoon, especially in the spring when the steps fill with people enjoying the sunshine and the galleries offer a quiet escape from the busy streets outside.
Bonjour!
I’m Katie, a lover of travel, classic fashion, and well-set tables. This space is where I gather what I’m wearing, cooking, reading, and planning, inspired by coastal living and a quiet appreciation for French charm.
