What to Wear for a Vermont Fall Weekend
If there’s one thing I love almost as much as a fall weekend in New England, it’s packing for one. Give me colorful foliage, historic inns, a cozy cottage, and an excuse to break out my favorite sweaters, and I’m a happy camper. Of course, dressing for Vermont in the Fall can be a little tricky.

A Fall Weekend at the Basin Harbor Inn
I’ve always loved the idea of returning to a favorite summer destination in the fall. The scenery changes, the pace slows down, and you get to experience a familiar place in a completely different way. After visiting the Basin Harbor Inn during the warmer months, I was especially excited to return for an October weekend.

How to Make a Cozy Weekend
I love a weekend with a full itinerary, but lately I’ve been appreciating the ones that leave a little more room to slow down. Between work, family life, and all of the usual responsibilities, it can be surprisingly difficult to spend a Saturday or Sunday without feeling like I should be doing something productive.

What I Wore to the Finger Lakes
I have reached the point in fall when getting dressed for a weekend away might be almost as much fun as planning the trip itself. For my recent stay at the Inns of Aurora in New York’s Finger Lakes, I wanted to pack pieces that felt right for the setting without leaning too heavily into traditional “fall outfits.”
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.
