New season, old outfits

It’s a new season, which means I can finally shed all those winter layers and wear cute outfits again! I sometimes enjoy mood-boarding for inspiration, but sometimes, you’ve just got to be your own muse, you know? Here are some old outfits from summers past to spark some inspiration, since I have been feeling like […]

Hello again!

I tried to find a friendlier photo, but I realized that I don’t generally look friendly, so I thought this would be appropriate. This may be my first blog post as katestlouis.com, but I’ve been blogging for a few years now, and I used to be found at nevernotinblack. It hadn’t ever occurred to me […]

BFFs

I had an extra special guest join me the other day. My “brother-in-law” Carter! Kane and I were dog-sitting over the weekend, but I also had to attend a food festival for work, so Carter and I went on a bit of an adventure. Before we headed out, I wanted to document my outfit, for […]

BACK TO SCHOOL

Class is in session. Or something like that. Okay, so two things: 1. Say hello to the (partial) view from our new apartment! 2. I got a new job! In addition to my social media gig(s), I am now also a part-time instructor at Humber College. I can’t even tell you how cool this is, […]

SUMMERTIME

Summer is basically over, and I want to cry. I have had a pretty great summer. Sorry if that sounded brag-y, but it’s true! Most of my summer was spent either in water, or somewhere water-adjacent, which to me, is basically paradise—even if said water is in the local, public swimming pool. I can’t really […]

SUMMER UNIFORM

Surprise, surprise, it’s all black. For most people, following an outfit formula is the best, and easiest, way to look put together with minimal effort. My outfit formula is a lot of black (duh), and usually oversized pieces, with a mis of relaxed and tailored fits, as well as different textiles and textures, usually reserved […]

"TAN ALMOST EVERYWHERE. JAN, ALMOST EVERYWHERE."

Gold star to anyone who knows the reference. I’ve just gotten back from the cottage (Thanks, Vanessa!) and oh my goodness, am I ever recharged! Much to my (sometimes) dismay, I’ve become one of those people who “CANNOT” be without their phone. As I work in social media, and am a freelancer to boot, it’s […]

#LOLEWHITETOUR

I was feeling very zen. And then, just before our yoga session was over, lightning was casually flashing in the distance. Yikes. The Lole White Tour is an annual event that celebrates peace, meditation, and yoga—all of which I have been in desperate need of, because stress. I was invited to attend this year, and I […]

THE WEDDING LOOK: INSPO

When you plan a wedding in FIVE days, figuring out what to wear can be a bit of a challenge. Quite certain I’ve mentioned this before, but I didn’t have a Pinterest board for wedding inspiration/looks/etc. before Kane and I got engaged. When we started planning our “big wedding,” I stumbled upon a dress online […]

JUST SWEATING

Haven’t posted an OOTD blog post in a while, ’cause I’ve just been a sweaty mess. If you live in Toronto like me, you know that it’s be HOT AF lately. Taking outfit photos doesn’t quite work when you’re either tucked away at home where there’s air conditioning and sitting around in your underwear, or […]
