End of Summer at the Basin Harbor Inn
There are places that feel like summer distilled into one perfect setting, and the Basin Harbor Inn in Vergennes, Vermont, is one of those places. Tucked along the shores of Lake Champlain, this family-owned resort is the kind of destination that draws you in with its beauty and keeps you coming back with its charm.

5 Outfit Ideas for the US Open
The US Open is one of my favorite end-of-summer events in New York, and it also happens to be one of those occasions that is particularly fun to dress for. There’s no need to show up looking like you’re about to take the court, but a little nod to classic tennis style feels perfectly appropriate.

Summer Stay at the Chebeague Island Inn
There’s a certain magic about traveling to an island… An island that feels close enough to reach without too much effort, yet remote enough to feel like you’ve slipped into another world. That’s exactly what drew us to the Chebeague Island Inn for a late-summer escape. Set just off the coast of Maine, the Inn embodies the timeless, New England charm you’d expect to find in a Nancy Meyers film: clapboard architecture, sweeping porches with wicker furniture, hydrangeas spilling over stone walls, and the kind of quiet where the loudest sound is the clink of ice against a glass of rum punch.

Snapshots from Boothbay Harbor, Maine
There are some places that seem to perfectly capture summer in New England, and Boothbay Harbor is one of them. Weathered shingles, lobster boats bobbing in the harbor, American flags hanging from old storefronts, hydrangeas spilling over fences and that unmistakable salty Maine air.
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.
