Happy International Women’s Day!

Happy International Women’s Day! ‍♀️

With so many new faces here, I thought it was time to reintroduce myself and my two biggest inspirations, my daughters Arielle and Aurora!

I used to wear many hats – actress, TV news anchor, host, producer, and writer. I even covered the Oscars red carpet and the Pope’s visit to the U.S. in 2015!

But after having Arielle in 2019, I felt called to create my own path. Now, I’m a family travel blogger/journalist at Fashionably Kate & Co., an Instagrammer, content creator, podcast host/producer for “Cocktails & Content Creation,” and writer for other amazing women-owned businesses. I guess I wear more hats than I did before! And while I have my ups and downs, I am happier than ever. 

Photography, impromptu dance parties, singing, and showing my girls the world are my jam! Of course, squeezed in between are family time and those rare date nights with my husband (met him when I was 6, can you believe it?! He was the older man lol).

Life throws you curveballs, and sometimes those curveballs come in the form of a towering 7-inch-taller little sister!  Raised primarily by a superhero single mom (major props, Mama!), I’ve learned the value of resilience and independence.  February brought another challenge with the loss of my beloved Nunny. While navigating grief, I’m finding strength in the women who came before me and the incredible community around me.

I’m Pregnant!

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

A very New York kind of magic. ✨ One minute we’re A very New York kind of magic. ✨

One minute we’re admiring the diamonds at the AMNH, where I am quietly debating if a 500-carat sapphire pairs best with pearls or my leather jacket, and the next, Aurora is blinking awake in her carriage to the sound of dozens of strangers belting out a classic at Strawberry Fields. 🥂

Honestly, slipping into a daydream when you are surrounded by that much unapologetic sparkle is practically a rite of passage—even for a little one catching a nap on the go. But rolling the stroller out into the fresh air for a spontaneous park-bench chorus? That is exactly the kind of city magic you just can’t plan.

Throw on your comfiest heels, grab an espresso, and let the city completely rewrite your family itinerary today. You never know where the detour will take you. 🚕 🍎

102 floors up, and right now, it truly feels like 102 floors up, and right now, it truly feels like we have the world at our feet. ✨

Celebrating 12 years in the very city where we got engaged—and where my own NYC story started—is pure magic. Watching our two girls thrive and fall completely in love with the city makes this milestone that much sweeter.

But let’s be unapologetically real for a second: marriage isn’t just about these glittering, top-of-the-world high notes. It’s about the grit behind the glam. It’s how you show up as an absolute team when the view isn’t so pretty, relying on each other through the tough, messy seasons that take real work.

Through the sky-high moments and the days that require all the hustle and heart we’ve got, there is absolutely no one else I’d rather navigate it all with.

Happy 12 years, Alex. Here’s to the climb, the view, and our beautiful, wonderful life together. 🥂🗽🖤

The only acceptable reason for a pre-dawn wake-up The only acceptable reason for a pre-dawn wake-up call. 🚕🥂🏙️

We are officially trading the quiet morning routine for the absolute magic and beautiful chaos of Manhattan! I wanted to start this trip off with a little bit of mystery, so before the girls even opened their eyes, the clues were waiting for them. There is nothing quite like that split-second realization when they figure out we are heading to the city.

The bags are packed, the sneakers are laced, and we are ready to take a bite out of the Big Apple.

Do you surprise your kids for trips, or do they help you count down the days? Let me know below! 👇

This is 40.🥂✨ For as long as I can remember, I ha This is 40.🥂✨

For as long as I can remember, I had this recurring dream. I’d be a little girl, sitting in front of a mirror, watching myself age. And right before I hit my 40th birthday, I would just… disappear. For years, I carried this quiet, nagging fear that my story was supposed to end before this decade even began.

But plot twist: I didn’t fade out. I just finally found my lighting.

I am officially 40, and I’m living a life I never could have scripted, let alone expected to love this much. I’m married to Alex—the wonderful guy I took to my senior prom, who I’ve been with for 20 years (married for almost 12!), and who I’ve been crushing on since I was even younger than Arielle. I’m raising the most amazing, insightful, and beautiful little girls who challenge me in the absolute best ways every single day.

I am completely in love with our beautiful, crazy chaos. I get to hustle at multiple jobs entirely on my own schedule, collaborate with dream brands in ways I never imagined, and bring my favorite people along for the ride.

Today was delightfully chill by design. But behind the scenes, I am deep in planning mode for a once-in-a-lifetime trip where everything is aligning perfectly, and I get to work with globally known brands and iconic landmarks.

I had a little revelation in the shower last week (I’ll share the full story soon), but to sum up exactly how I’m feeling right now: these last 40 years have been an incredibly wild, beautiful adventure. But with everything unfolding for me lately, I have this undeniable feeling that it was all just dress rehearsal.

The main act is just getting started. Watch out world—I’m coming for you. 🖤🍾

Since we’ve already established that my birthday is the official August holiday, I feel it’s only fair to remind you that the big day is actually tomorrow. Which means, yes, you still have precisely enough time to find me something suitably fabulous.

I’ll gladly accept vintage Chanel, a fresh box of pastries from that impossible-to-get-into French bakery, or simply an uninterrupted hour to drink something sparkling out of a coupe glass while wearing tulle and a leather jacket.

Here’s to another year of unapologetic ambition, wearing the killer heels even when I’m wrangling the girls, and adding a little extra rock ‘n’ roll edge to the everyday. 

Let the birthday festivities commence! 💖🍾
