Sometimes I feel so silly because I’m constantly sharing about myself and know so little about all of you! I was looking at my analytics last night and couldn’t help but marvel over how many far corners of the earth my readers hail from. I love it! Today I thought I’d ask you a simple question — where are you reading from? I’ll start. Katie here from Alameda, California (a little island in San Francisco’s east bay).
Now it’s your turn!

Mallory says
Hey Katie! I’ve been following for some time now and am so sorry I haven’t commented yet! I’m in Charlottesville, VA (a sweet, quaint town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. think vineyards and lots of blue grass music). I just got engaged so have loved perusing your many wedding posts!
xo,
Mallory
Breathless says
I’m Therése and I’m in Sweden. Just found you a couple of weeks ago and I’m really enjoying your blog. Very inspiring!
Michelle says
Hi Katie,
I’m in Los Angeles, CA – living in Pasadena :)
Love your posts, xo, Michelle
Katie Armour says
Mallory — I love Charlottesville! Two of my dear friends grew up there actually, what a small world. Thank you for introducing yourself and congrats on your engagement! Enjoy every minute of it : )
Therése — Thank you for saying hello! I’ve yet to visit Sweden, but am in fact Swedish (and Irish and German…we Americans, you know how that goes…) and have wanted to visit for a long time. My maiden name is “Ogren” which I’m told is rather common there. Can’t wait to check out your blog! xx
Michelle — Love Pasadena! I was born in Los Angeles and when I was little my mother sold real estate there. I’ve been meaning to get down there to go to the Rose Bowl Flea Market! Thanks for saying hello—this is so fun for me! xx
Cassie says
I am reading from Camas, Washington–a small(er) town across the river from Portland, Oregon. We love it here in the beautiful, green Northwest.
I love your blog, too. Thanks for all of the inspiration! And living on an island? How lovely!
Katie Armour says
Cassie — Would you believe I’ve never been to the northwest?! Mr. Armour and I are eager to make a trip up to Seattle and Portland — I’ve heard such wonderful things. And thank YOU for encouraging and inspiring me! xx
BAH says
I am in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida! I think it’s very cool that we all share a certain aesthetic :)
Brandi says
I’m Brandi and I’m from NJ, though I really consider New York City to be my real home. Right now though, I’m in San Diego, and I keep reminding myself that I MUST take a trip up to San Fran. Especially after hearing the way you gush about it.
Dora says
I’m originally from Romania, but I live in Charlotte, NC right now :D Even though today is the first day of Fall, it’s still 91 degrees outside.
hearts,
Dora
Ashley says
Philadelphia, PA!
I just stumbled across your blog today and it has negatively affected my productivity today, let me just say. I couldn’t tear myself away from the computer screen for lunch! I can’t wait to check back daily and see the new, inspiring posts you come up with.
Katie Armour says
BAH — Oh I’ve long envied the fun, preppy aesthetic of Palm Beach. Never been to Florida—tragic, I know. Adding it to the list! Thanks for dropping in and introducing yourself!
Brandi — LOVE a familiar face : ) I can’t wait for you to come up and visit!!
Ashley — Only been to Philly once but loved it! Sorry to have hindered your productivity, opps ; ) Welcome! xx
Dora — Romania, how cool! I’ve been to Serbia and Hungary (so close!), but never made it cross the border. I had Romanian classmates in Switzerland that were great fun : ) Do you just love Charlotte? I’ve heard great things. Thanks for saying hi!! xx
HannahB. says
Hi, Katie! I’m from East Tennessee and discovered your blog just a few days ago when Courtney (merrimentevents.com) shared your *lovely* engagement photos! In fact, I posted about them on my blog and then yesterday, I noticed that we both had something about Lauren Becall… so I’ve taken it as a sign and The Neo Traditionalist is now on my top reads in Google Reader and I’m following you on Twitter :) Your blog is so pretty, and I adore your hair cut!
K says
Hi Katie! I’m originally from Texas, but read from Sewanee, TN. I’ve loved keeping up with your blog while at school, it’s a constant source of inspiration. I noticed that you’ve mentioned going to school in Switzerland a couple of times- Did you by chance go to Franklin? My very best friend goes there and LOVES it!
Olga says
Good ‘ol San Luis Obispo, CA!
Danielle says
Hi Katie,
I just started reading your blog a couple of months ago, but this is my first comment! Reporting in two blocks from the White House, from the 11th floor of my office building. I have a great view of the National Mall–probably better than any 24 year old office manager has a right to! Your blog is a much-needed ray of style and sunshine into my day!
Mallory, I’m very jealous of your Charlottesville location right now–I’m a UVA grad who is quite homesick :)
Allison says
Hi Katie!
I recently stumbled across your blog through Pinterest. You have great taste and I love reading your posts. I am in Los Angeles (Silver Lake), and my business partner is in San Francisco. Two totally different, yet amazing cities. :)
Keep inspiring!
Stacy says
Hi neighbor!
Just a hop, skip and a bridge away in San Francisco.
Came across your blog last week and am inspired by your engagement photos. Speaking of which…where were they shot? Currently on the hunt for nice grass in the city (not so easy).
Stacy
designstiles says
Cheers from Sherman Oaks, CA. “The Valley” if you will.
Jennifer says
I read your blog (compulsively checking for updates every few hours) on a daily basis from my office in Georgetown (Washington, D.C.) Thank you for the inspiration!
Jenny says
I’m sitting in my living room in Augusta, GA (not too far away from Augusta National Golf Course). Originally from Greensboro, NC.
Katie Armour says
Hannah — Why thank you! I think we may have driven through Tennessee for a split second on our move out west this past summer, but I’m longing to explore it more! I’m jealous, you southern belle : )
K — I did go to Franklin! What a small world! It was an adventure to say the least : ) Thanks for introducing yourself!
Olga — Go SLO!!! xx
Danielle — How lucky are you!? I’m beyond envious of your location. I loooove D.C. My best friend lives in Georgetown. Next time I’m in the area you’ll have to meet us for coffee! Do keep in touch!
Allison — Thanks for saying hi! I keep hearing about Silver Lake and how hip it is. I have a feeling you’re far cooler than I : ) xoxo
Meagan says
Meagan here, from Chicago, IL although born and raised in Wichita, KS. And hoping to be relocated altogether in the very near future.
Kelly Anne says
Kelly from Marlinton, WV, formerly from Vienna, VA. It might have registered as DC.
Danielle says
Your best friend picked a great spot! I went to grade school AND high school in Georgetown. My mother keeps joking that I will settle down within the 3 block radius where I grew up..wouldn’t be such a terrible thing! Would love to meet you for coffee :)
Katie Armour says
Stacy — So close and yet so far : ) The photos were snapped at the Pelican Inn in Muir Beach. So touched you like them! Thanks for stopping by, can’t wait to check out your blog…I saw the word “cupcake”!
Designstiles — Nothing wrong with the valley! I really need to get back to southern California and do some more exploring. I’ve heard the homes in Sherman Oaks are lovely : )
Jennifer — Awww shucks! Thanks for reading and so often : ) Love D.C. and Georgetown is my dream neighborhood. Lucky gal!
Jenny — I knew you lived in Georgia, but not that you are from Greensboro! I love NC, we used to visit often when I lived in wild and wonderful West Virginia : )
Meagan — I have been SO out of touch and am dying to hear more about your big day. And I think it’s cool you’re from Kansas. When I was in 2nd grade my best friend moved there and I was jealous : )
Kelly Anne — WV!!! I didn’t know anyone from WV read! I lived in Morgantown last year you know. It was an adventure to say the least : )
Danielle — I would be happy to end up there too! And coffee is a plan—if you see me mention a trip to D.C. do say something, I tend to lose track of these things! xx
Mariel says
I’m Mariel and I’m reading from New York, NY!
I didn’t realize you lived in Alameda. I’ve heard good things about their flea market…have you been?
Katie Armour says
Mariel — How I miss NY! I used to live in the east village : ) I have been to the Alameda flea market and it is fantastic and ENORMOUS! Like the Chelsea flea market and Hells Kitchen flea market combined x10! I can’t wait for it to be October — it’s only once a month : (
Stephanie says
Hi Katie xoxo, from your biggest fan on Long Island, New York!
Melissa says
Hi Katie!
Ive been following you under the radar for quite awhile now and am currently living in Seattle, Wa. Ive just recently started blogging myself (and took voluntary unemployment to start living the big dream!) and your work has really inspired me. Like you I love all things design, fashion, beauty, food, living, traveling, prep, and Last but not least my 4 legged love – Jackie O (she is a Pekashu and she is perfectly suited for Alfred :))
Melissa
Melissa says
I’m from Indianapolis, IN, but I’m not a fan of the Indy 500. I lived in London for awhile, but am now back in Indy.
Katie Armour says
Stephanie — Someday I am making to Long Island to visit! Love you and your adorable family!!
Melissa — How exciting for you! So glad you introduced yourself. Clearly we have lots in common. Perhaps we need to set Jackie O and Alfred up on a blind date : )
Melissa — Love London, but have yet to explore Indiana more than our quick yet beautiful drive through this summer! And I understand—when I lived in Morgantown, WV I often felt like an alien for not living and breathing football : )
Estefania says
Saludos desde Monterrey y León, en ¡¡¡México!!!
teresa says
hi katie…i just found you a couple of days ago and am excited to begin reading.
i am enjoying this 1st day of fall from edmond, oklahoma!
Jillian says
Hello from Greenwich, Connecticut! Love your blog, Katie! It has provided endless inspiration as we renovate and decorate our first house!
Oh, and we just got married last week, and it was such fun following along as you made your wedding decisions!
Congrats and thanks!
Katie Armour says
Estefania — LOVE Mexico! Lots of my friends from boarding school are Mexican. I spent a Christmas visiting one friend in Mexico City—it was amazing! Bienvenida (is that right?)!!
Teresa — I forgot it is the first day of fall! How exciting! We have tons of photos from Oklahoma when we drove through this summer—so beautiful! Welcome : )
Jillian — Love Greenwich! I worked for a design firm in Rowayton! CT is so gorgeous. How exciting to be a newlywed and decorating your first home! With Mr. Armour in law school we have to wait several years—I’ll have to live vicariously through you : )
Lauren says
Hi Katie! I found your blog a couple of months back and it has quickly become a daily favorite! I’m reading from the fabulous Fort Worth, TX!!
Isabelle says
Hello Katie,
I’ve been following your blog since a few months. I love your style, it’s also a great inspiration for the apartment I bought and am decorating now … Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium.
Isabelle
Katie Armour says
Lauren — We’re thinking about visiting Texas sometime soon. Mr. Armour loves Austin and I have friends in Houston. I’ve heard rave reviews of Fort Worth too! Welcome!
Isabelle — Belgium, how neat! The birthplace of Audrey Hepburn : ) I never made it there when I was living abroad, but is at the top of my list for our next European vacation. Good luck with your new apartment, what an exciting time! xx
just a girl says
Laura here from Chicago, IL. Been reading for a while now and loving everything! I had to list my five favorite blogs in a blogger e-course I’m doing, and yours definitely made the list =)
Laura says
Katie,
I’m reading from Fayetteville, Arkansas, a small college town of UofA. I work for an architecture firm and love everything design. I adore your taste; you inspired me to (finally) start my own blog! Thank you!
Karyn says
Karyn Faszer, Lodi, California. Just a short hop skip and a jump from you there in Alameda!
Teresa says
This Katie Fan is from Lisbon – Portugal. Just the other side of Atlantic.
My days are never complete without a visit to your site :love:
Katie Armour says
Laura — Top five? Wow, thank you! I’ve only been to Chicago once for a couple days, but loved every second of it. The architecture is phenomenal and the lake, stunning! Lucky girl!
Laura — Congrats on starting your own blog! I was so nervous when I started mine just over a year ago, but am so glad I took the plunge. I have a friend that lived in Eureka Springs—I think that’s near you? Thanks for saying hello! xx
Karyn — How fun to have someone so close by! I’m sure you love the bay as much as I do. Northern California has its own distinct charm!
Teresa — Can’t wait to someday visit Lisbon! When I do I’m looking you up!! xo
Emily says
I’m in Boston! I’ve been following for awhile now, and your blog – more than any other I’ve come across – matches my aesthetic perfectly. Thank you for the daily inspirations from across the country!

Lacy — Missouri! How cool! I’ve only passed through St. Louis, but am eager to explore more. O’Fallon is a neat name for a city : )
Samantha — The UES, talk about classic : ) Won’t you visit the Met for me? Oh and the Frick and the Guggenheim and the Whitney…you’re spoiled! I miss living in NY! xx
Erika — You’re killing me! I would DIE to work at Kate Spade, what a lucky roommate you have. Wish I were still in the city and we could play dress up together! Thanks for saying hello!
Jen — Never been to Kentucky, but LOVE blue grass. So many cool women are from Louisville, like Emily Maynard of Elva Fields. So envious! Going to the Derby is on my bucket list : )
Danielle says
This is Danielle (Casey’s sister) – you could find me in Ballard; one of the best neighborhoods in Seattle!
Anna says
Hi Katie! I live in Carrboro, NC, right outside of Chapel Hill. Love your blog!
Katie Armour says
Hi Danielle! I just adore your brother and had so much fun seeing him last time we were in D.C.! When we make it up to Seattle I’ll be sure to explore Ballard! xx
Anna — How lovely! Everyone gushes about the beauty of Chapel Hill. Next time we’re out that way I must visit. Thanks for introducing yourself!
Chloe says
Miss Kate!
Even though you know where I’m from I thought I would give a shout-out to Seattle and encourage you and John to come visit. You would love it!
XOXO
Katie Armour says
Chloe — We would love it and I would LOVE to see your pretty face! Hope you’re enjoying your engagement. So happy for you!!!! xoxoxo
