Announcing the Arrival of Arielle Marie

August 29, 2019

Birth Announcement

When it came to announcing the birth of our daughter, we wanted to do it in a unique and special way. So when Paperless Post approached us to showcase their products, we decided this would be the perfect collaboration.

Paperless Post is just that, a company that sends out cards, invites or flyers for any occasion, via email. You can select one of thousands of beautiful designs and customize it, adding details, photos and even your own logo. After you’ve finished customizing, you can import your contact lists and send out your masterpiece to your family and friends’ email inbox.

Instead of buying a set number of email cards, which can be limiting or wasteful, Paperless Post lets you buy “coins”. Each card costs a set number of coins with certain enhancements adding to the cost of each card. I was able to send out our announcement for 7 coins a card.

My family loved opening up their email to find a sparkly animated envelope containing the birth announcement of our little girl. And they could send us a response. It was a wonderful way to receive well wishes in return.

Not only was the design process fun and easy, I was able to create a birth announcement that I felt proud to send off to those we love the most. Next time I have a party, I’ll definitely be using Paperless Post to send out my invites!

*Fashionably Kate & Co. was gifted the services provided by Paperless Post in exchange for this review. However my opinion is, as always, my own.

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

Checked out the pumpkin trails at Halloween on the Checked out the pumpkin trails at Halloween on the Hill last week. 🎃 
Thank you to the team at Long Hill for hosting us!

A very important heads-up for my fellow mamas before you go: carriages and strollers are not allowed on the trails this year. Definitely plan to babywear or make sure your little ones have on their best walking shoes for the trek. 👟👻

Obligatory picture at the pumpkin wall at Wilson’s Obligatory picture at the pumpkin wall at Wilson’s Farm, because honestly... would I even be a New England content creator if we didn’t stop for a snap in front of this gorgeous autumnal masterpiece? 🎃🍂✨

Just taking in the view with my favorite little feline. We may have our backs to the camera, but I promise looking down at Aurora in her little October cat dress is the only view I really need anyway. Equal parts festive magic and everyday motherhood, wrapped up in the ultimate New England tradition.

Tell me—what is your absolute, non-negotiable fall photo op? 👇🥂

Even locals have rules about Salem in October—most Even locals have rules about Salem in October—mostly, stay far away and let the visitors have their moment. 

But when @DisneyAnimation invites you to check out their Hexed booth on the Salem Common? Well, even the most dedicated homebodies make an exception. And honestly? I am so glad we did.

There is nothing quite like an early Saturday morning stroll through this city when the crisp autumn air hits just right. We loved checking out the festive storefronts (shoutout to the spooky Dunks, though a little reminder to please support our incredible local indie cafes too—we have so many fabulous small businesses serving up life-changing pastries and local roast right here!).

We popped over to the Salem Common to experience the Hexed booth celebrating the upcoming release of this bewitching new Disney film, and it brought all the cozy, cinematic magic to our weekend.

Sometimes breaking your own rules pays off in gold (and a little bit of cinematic sparkle).

Plot twist: The most enchanting spooky season hidd Plot twist: The most enchanting spooky season hidden gem on the North Shore isn’t where you think. 🥀✨

Welcome back to another edition of Kate’s Take! Tucked right inside the charming galleries of the @wenhammuseum lives this permanent, three-foot-tall gothic masterpiece—and it is pure magic.

Lovingly handcrafted over eight years by the late Mrs. Mary Hinckley, this miniature Victorian mansion is an homage to Charles Addams’ iconic cartoons and the beloved 1960s TV series. Every parlor and winding hallway is dripping with macabre details—from Morticia and Gomez lounging in velvet chairs to Uncle Fester, Wednesday, and yes… even Thing lending a helping hand. 🖐️🖤

Skip the madness of crowded tourist streets and step into vintage, spooky nostalgia that’s perfect for both collectors and little dreamers alike.

Have you spotted this North Shore secret yet? Let me know in the comments, and don’t forget to save this for your October weekend itinerary!

Until next time, I am Fashionably Yours,

Kate

Come, we fly! Straight to Salem, of course. ✨ Sli Come, we fly! Straight to Salem, of course. ✨

Slipping on my chicest boots (and maybe a witch hat, for good measure) to run amok, amok, amok through the most iconic Hocus Pocus filming locations. There’s nothing like seeing the magic of your favorite Halloween movie come to life right here in my own backyard.

Ready to light the Black Flame Candle? Here’s where to find the magic:

🖤 The Ropes Mansion (Allison’s House) // 318 Essex St.
Still waiting on my invitation to the party at the chicest house in town. A girl can dream, can’t she? This colonial mansion is pure Salem glam.

💃 Old Town Hall (The Town Hall Party) // 32 Derby Sq.
You can practically hear Bette Midler casting a spell on the entire town. The site of the most legendary Halloween party in cinematic history. No contest.

🌳 Salem Common (Outdoor Scenes) // North Washington Sq.
The perfect spot for a crisp autumn stroll, plotting how to steal a spellbook from a trio of 17th-century witches. You know, a totally normal Tuesday.

🏫 Phillips Elementary School (Max & Allison’s School) // 84 Essex St.
Where it all began… and where Max learned the hard way not to mess with local legends. We’ve all had those high school moments. (Minus the witches, hopefully).

🏠 Max & Dani’s House // Ocean Avenue
The holy grail! That iconic witchy house with the turret is a private residence, so be a kind human and admire from a distance, darlings. Let’s not bother the current residents, no matter how badly you want to see the talking cat.

🍂 Pioneer Village (Thackery Binx’s Village) // 98 West Ave.
A step back to 1693 where our favorite immortal black cat’s story began. It’s charming, rustic, and just a little bit cursed.

Have you done a Hocus Pocus tour of Salem? It’s the ultimate way to get into the spooky spirit!

My girls are obsessed with @ghostbusters (clearly, they inherited their parents’ impeccable taste in cinema), and Arielle asked if we could visit the actual firehouse on our 2025 NYC trip.

My first thought: “It’s… real?”

Darlings, it is. And it’s iconic.

Hook & Ladder Company 8 @officialghostbustershq in Tribeca is a real, working fire station. So no, you can’t just waltz in and slide down the pole (I asked. Kidding. Mostly.), but you can live out your ‘80s movie-magic dreams, snag that perfect photo, and see the logo on the sidewalk.

It was a total New York first for me—even after living there!—and it was 100% my daughter’s idea.

Honestly, playing tourist in a city you thought you knew, all led by your kids? That’s its own kind of magic. ✨

Who you gonna call? 📞👻

What iconic movie spot should we hit next?
