A Very Different Holiday Season

November 7, 2020

I’m just going to say it. This is going to be a very different holiday season than we’ve all been used to. There will be no Christmas visits, no Thanksgiving get-togethers or Friendsgivings. There will still be plenty of gift-giving, although we won’t be opening everything up together. 

But with this festive season quickly approaching, I’ve decided to send out handwritten notes to my nearest and dearest. I mean, when was the last time that you got a card in the mail “just because”? 

Holiday-Gift-Guide-Quarantine

I remember when I was in college, living in NYC, my Nunny used to send me a card every week full of old family pictures and fascinating articles she would cut out of the newspaper. And even though I could call her up instantly, getting that delivery every week, finding that card in my mailbox, gave me a warm feeling inside. I didn’t feel so far away from her. 

So I’ve partnered with JH Cards to share that same special experience with my friends and family. 

Holiday-Gift-Guide-Stationary-Handmade-Shop-Small

Each card by JH Cards is handcrafted using premium paper, making every single note unique. You just don’t get that kind of personalization with the box sets from the drug store. And while she has so many beautiful designs that cover every kind of occasion and holiday, I fell in love with her stiletto card, pictured here. But I also have my eye on the new polka dot holly and berries card and the sequined snowflake tree for my Christmas notes. For my friends celebrating Hannukah I love this Star of David card, and for those that are into the Festivus for the Rest of Us, this Kringle Cocoa card is the perfect reminder that I’m thinking of them. And I love this Champagne Toast card for New Years!

Holiday-Gift-Guide-Stationary

You can find more cards over on JH Cards. Anyone who places an order by November 14 and mentions Fashionably Kate in the checkout notes will get a fun assortment of bonus cards included! So order your cards now for Christmas, Hanukkah, whatever occasions you have coming up. If you stock up now, you won’t have to ever worry about having a card ever again! The box sets also make great gifts, so you can get some of your holiday gift shopping done!

How are you planning to celebrate the holidays this year?

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

Quiet on the set, darlings. 🥂💻 I missed The Trait Quiet on the set, darlings. 🥂💻

I missed The Traitors last night, and I am currently in a state of high-stakes catch-up.

Consider this my formal warning: Do not call, do not text, and for the love of all things velvet and dramatic, NO SPOILERS. If you ruin the banishment for me, I’m voting you off the island—or at least out of my group chat.

I’ve got my champagne, my cozy spot, and a burning need to know who’s being “banished” next. See you on the other side of the Highlands! 🏰✨

Sometimes the most beautiful parts of motherhood a Sometimes the most beautiful parts of motherhood are the ones we’re holding closest to our chests right now. 🥂✨

Watching Aurora walk down this red carpet, my heart was doing backflips—not just from the excitement, but from a mama’s private prayer that she’d feel as steady as she is brave.

We’re navigating some new chapters behind the scenes, and seeing the world meet her with such quiet, intuitive grace brought me to tears. Minnie didn’t just pose for a photo; she saw a little girl who needed a steadying hand and gave it without a second thought.

It’s a reminder that even when the path feels a little shaky, there is always someone ready to help you find your balance. Holding this memory—and my girls—extra tight tonight.

Share this with a friend who needs a little reminder that magic is everywhere. ✨

The Boots Understood the Assignment 🪩✨ In a city The Boots Understood the Assignment 🪩✨

In a city of salt-stained bricks and winter layers, sometimes a girl just needs a champagne coupe and a theater seat. 🥂

Last night, we swapped the “everyday” for the “extraordinary” at the Citizens Opera House. Kinky Boots is a rock’n’roll anthem to being exactly who you are, and honestly? My silver boots felt right at home. 🎸💎

Boston, go see this show - it’s at the Citizens Opera House through February 22. 🎭

It’s heart, soul, and a whole lot of high-heeled attitude.

Are you a “sensible boots” or “sparkle boots” kind of person?  I think you know my preference! 💋

If you’re currently doom-scrolling through everyone else’s St. Barths stories while staring at a mountain of laundry and a gray February sky—breathe. I’ve got the ultimate stylish hack for my fellow “forgot-to-book-a-flight” mamas. 🥂

We’re trading the suburban puffer coats for 72 degrees of pure, neon bliss at the Orchid Adventure at Franklin Park Zoo. 🌺

It is a total mood shifter. Imagine thousands of stunning blooms, lush greenery, and gorillas lounging in the warmth—all wrapped in a gorgeous Victorian naturalist vibe (think: ornate curiosity cabinets, vintage shells, and 19th-century glam). It’s very Holly Golightly goes on safari, and I am here for it. 🐆✨

Whether you’re hunting for orchids or just hiding from the wind chill, it’s the perfect way to level up school vacation week without the airport stress. 🥂

The Details:
🗓️ Orchid Adventure runs through March 1st
📍 Franklin Park Zoo, Boston
🌡️ Tropical Forest Pavilion (It’s cozy, bring the layers!)
🎟️ Scavenger hunts & workshops included in admission

Go for the warmth, stay for the sparkle. ✨

Going for the Gold in “February Break Survival.” 🥇 Going for the Gold in “February Break Survival.” 🥇⛷️

I’ve got the outfits planned and the itinerary set, but as we head into the chaos of school vacation week, I’m realizing I might need an Olympic-level trainer. How do these athletes do it?!

If you’re looking for a place to pivot from “Mom Exhaustion” to “Alpine Chic,” head to the Frostival Lodge in Copley Square. Aurora and I stopped by last week to escape the chill, and it’s a total vibe. 🇮🇹❄️

Think: Italian Alps meets Boston grit. You can grab @eatalyboston treats, relax in a shoppable @Wayfair lounge, and watch the final Olympic events on the big screens. It’s the perfect “Gold Medal” moment for parents and kids alike.

📍 Where: Copley Square
When: Open daily from 11 AM - 9PM, February 6th - February 28th
🏆 Special Event: Closing Ceremony Watch Party on Feb 22nd!

TELL ME THIS: If Parenting was an Olympic sport, which event are you taking the Gold in this week?

🥇 The 100m Dash to the School Bus
🥈 Synchronized Nap-time
🥉 Heavy Lifting (aka the double stroller)

Let me know in the comments! 👇
