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.
This week has been an absolute bear, so let’s reach into the reader mail bag and answer some questions. And let’s start with a post about affordable summer bags.
The Instagram story asking for submissions yielded so many good ones that I had to write a part two. Or part deux, for all you 90s kids who remember these movies.
Every month, I open up a channel on my Instagram for readers to ask me anything. Anything. I grab the most interesting, most useful questions and answer them here. Let’s get started.

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]
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!
so amazing.
a good friend of mine went to college with her. small world! and her 'audrey' dress is my wedding dress. yay katie!
Too darling. I love every single piece. Now if only I has an extra 5 grand lying around …
Wow! both the model and the dresses are gorgeous!
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.
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.
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.
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?
Alex-Rosie Tupper is 20. Don't go making assumptions just because someone has flawless skin.
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!
