Thank you for being here. For being open to enjoying life’s simple pleasures and looking inward to understand yourself, your neighbors, and your fellow humans! I’m looking forward to chatting with you.
Hi, I'm Kate. Welcome to my happy place.
Love this! I want to own every single piece.
So many drool-worthy pieces. How happy would we be if we had all this stuff in our closets? Not gonna lie, I’d need a pop of color every now and then, but a solid foundation like this would be heaven!

this is actually a great idea. when i went to europe i packed way too much stuff and it was just annoying. i wish i could go back and actually “backpack”!
I love all of this. We’ll be in Denmark for 2+ weeks this summer, I plan to pack veryyyy monotone and mix+match, lol.
Love this! This is actually how my suitcase would be packed except maybe with a little grey too. You can never go wrong with black & grey 🙂
Love all of it! Just wish there were brand details so I could go shopping…
[…] What to wear for 10 days in Europe! Very black though, but easy to combine and that’s might be the key to successfully pack a suitcase, which I can’t be further away from. […]
What a great idea! I’m going on a 2 week trip soon, but I think most of my items are brown. Guess I’ll go the all brown route.
4 pairs of shoes and 3 bags? are you nuts? or have you travelled, ever?
oh come on now, i’m just saying i’m inspired to stick to a minimal color palette. this is not to be a packing list.
I get you Kate! Good idea to stick to a colour palette – thanks for the inspiration.
Love love love! I’m going to Europe for a month and intend to pack like this, with maybe a pop of color in footwear.
How smart is this! And everyone looks good in black!
Hi. Just did 2 weeks in Ireland. All 4 corners of the country.
Black and white theme. Changed out scarves and necklaces. Only black pants.
Black boots and black walking shoes.
Black trench coat. Worked out terrific!
