Katie Ermilio Slays Me

Mar 14, 2012

There are few designers who consistently make my jaw to drop.  But Katie Ermilio leaves me entranced, mouth agape, every time. I would happily make a devil’s bargain to fill my closet with a few of her pieces.

I think I need a moment to myself. And maybe a glass of champagne to go with it.

    These are fabulous. I die.

    Gorgeous. Belle, if you ever want to take a road/Amtrak trip, a boutique in nearby Philadelphia carries Katie Armelio designs!

  3. e-liz says:

    a good friend of mine went to college with her. small world! and her 'audrey' dress is my wedding dress. yay katie!

  4. Too darling. I love every single piece. Now if only I has an extra 5 grand lying around …

  5. Angela Jones says:

    Wow! both the model and the dresses are gorgeous!

  6. Francine says:

    Curious if you saw the fashion photo spread in, of all mags, Real Simple this month. It is very classic, '40s stuff and I almost died. I wanted every single outfit, accessory, piece of jewellery, makeup, hair, all of it. Just so elegant, classy and feminine without being too twee. I too had to take a moment to myself.

  7. Shannon says:

    I think it's all gorgeous, except for the second outfit. That one just looks like the model put her jacket on backwards by mistake.

  8. Belle says:

    Francine: I haven't read mine yet (it's on my to do list). But I am really loving their fashion coverage, it's stylish and accessible. Vogue just is not relate-able, in my opinion. Sometimes, when I read it, I feel like I am reading a manual in a foreign language.

  9. Alex says:

    That model is not older than 14 and is probably more like 12. For this reason alone, I will not buy from this designer.

    Belle, do you have a policy on this sort of thing?

  10. Belle says:

    Alex-Rosie Tupper is 20. Don't go making assumptions just because someone has flawless skin.

  11. Audrey says:

    Agreed Belle! Rosie is not only perfectly of age, but i love how her youth and poise capture the essence of katie's clothes. I have been a loyal client of katie's and will continue to be, her pieces are amongst my favorites in my closet. I only can't wait to have more of them!

Too Many Tabs: April 19, 2024

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

The Find: My Best Workout Shorts

For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
