the latest:

Dear Photographer – Maybe you’ve been there – walking onto set on shoot day and the clothes *haven’t* been decided on yet.

Hi, I'm Katherine.
Your new BFF + Closet Coach.

I'm the one who sends you links for dresses you'll look real cute in, & tells you gently that the other one is going to sit unworn in your closet if you buy it. With a BFA in Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, and a passion for understanding clothing & design, I designed custom bridal gowns before opening a styling studio to help small business owners prep for shoots & fall in love with their closet.
