Greetings from Connecticut! We’ve specifically in Norwalk, on the Connecticut coast. Our new home is the shortest walk from the Long Island Sound and I couldn’t be happier about it. The past two weeks have just flown by and included: packing everything we own, selling our house in Florida, taking a cross-country road trip, and settling into our new apartment. The biggest question I’ve been getting recently is, WHY? Why would you possibly trade Florida for Connecticut? 

The thing is, I don’t really have just one answer. There were a lot of factors that contributed to this move… Way too many nuances to fit inside one blog post. While we will miss many things about St. Pete, including our friends, my family, and the nice weather in the winter, David and I were looking for a change. While change can be stressful and sometimes scary, it can also be incredible. Since we said farewell to Florida, it seems like a breath of fresh air, and we have so much to look forward to. Summers along the New England coast? Visiting our friends in the city? Adventures to Newport, Nantucket, and the Hamptons? The very near future looks bright for us, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Follow along with me as we navigate our new life in coastal Connecticut. We already have some great things planned that I can’t wait to share! Until then, thank you so much for being a part of the ride and for dealing with my cliffhanger announcement and radio silence.

Love from Connecticut,
Katie

Our Next Chapter

Our Next Chapter

Some big changes are coming my way next week! Our next chapter is calling and we’re moving somewhere new! I’ve called St. Pete, Florida home for nearly my entire life, minus a three-year stint in Manhattan. During that time, I tried to take full advantage of living in warm weather year-round and got to really love several local businesses. Still, David and I became restless and ready to start a new chapter. As I write this from our recently sold sunny bungalow, most of our belongings have been packed up and are off to the next destination. The only things remaining are the furniture we’re leaving behind and the necessities to help us live a semi-nomadic lifestyle.

Although this seems sudden, it’s something we have been discussing for a while. Honestly, some elements of Florida didn’t feel so much like home anymore, and we began daydreaming. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what the final nail was, but once we decided, it seemed like the most natural thing to do next. Am I a little bit nervous? Of course! Moving and starting over is always a nerve-wracking experience. Am I excited? Now that we’re so close to the finish line, absolutely! 

I’m going to leave you hanging in suspense as to where the Kennedys are heading for a few more days. Chalk it up to a slight flair for the dramatic and the love for a big reveal. Trust me, though, when I announce our next destination, I bet it’s going to connect a lot of dots!

Love from Florida,
Katie

My Favorite Outfit of 2023?

My Favorite Outfit of 2023?
📍 Saint Petersburg, Florida

Favorite outfit, J. Crew, French inspired, Tweed, Chanel

Jacket (Similar) || Tank || Similar Pants || Heels (Save) || Similar Handbag || Earrings || Lip Color

I know it’s really early in the year, but is it too early to call this as my favorite outfit of 2023? When I first laid eyes on this Lady Jacket from J. Crew, my jaw hit the floor. It is the most incredible shade of green and will be an instant classic. For a really great bargain, you’ll also love this tweed jacket from H&M. They have been coming out with the most classic pieces lately! Although I wanted to pair it with the matching tweed dress, it felt like a better opportunity to wear a pair of high-waisted white pants, and play with proportions. The result was an incredibly chic that I wish I could wear on the streets of Paris. Instead, dinner at Left Bank Bistro in St. Pete would have to do.

It seems like you really can’t have a conversation about French fashion without mentioning one of the icons! While there are so many shoes in my closet that would match this look, the cap toe heels from were just perfect! The Chanel version is obviously a must have, but this pair from Amazon is the next best thing at a fraction of the price! Would you be willing to make the splurge or prefer the savings? When it comes to something so timeless, you can almost think of it as an investment. With the proper care, these luxury shoes can last you for years to come!

Love from Florida,
Katie
