There is beauty everywhere... if you look for it. xo
INSPO:
IT'S TIME TO
BLOOM
It’s hard to see beauty these days. Hard to feel good about anything. Yesterday on my walk with my doggie ward, Molly, I happened upon this. This flower stopped me in my tracks. Here, in the dry, overly hot desert, in the middle of asphalt, she burst through. She said, “Here, here I’m gonna start my life. I’ve got a purpose and I’m gonna do my thing.” And. She. Bloomed! It felt like a reflection of the current times. It can feel like there is no way to bloom right now, no way to enjoy beauty right now, no beauty anywhere... but there can be. You can be the blooming flowers in the hot asphalt in the middle of the desert.
Love makes you bloom. Kindness makes you bloom. Being YOU makes you bloom. Sharing your gifts makes you bloom. I thank this little brave flower for reminding me of this. And now, now she is a star. See if you can find the beauty hidden out there today. I know it’s everywhere if you really look for it. xo Katherine
SPRING
2020 SAMPLE
SALE "Woot!"
SHOP!
June holds some exciting things for the Style Kat Hat World!
Let's chat Spring Sample Sale!!! Yes, It's most definitely true that while I was ready to let go of millinery last year (right around this time).... Spring Fever brought it back. My love for fashion, passion for new palettes and blood of an artist, well, it had me diving into the world of hats once again. Lightly. However, the excitement of Spring, which lead to one of my most inspired collections ever was deflated when we were all hit with how heavy our Springs this year were. Sadly, all the many fabulous events I look forward to were cancelled. The Central Park Conservancy Luncheon, the Kentucky Derby (postponed till September), Ascot, Belmont, Spring events and weddings.
Basically all the reasons I was stepping back into the hat game and what I designed the entire collection around. Before knowing the turn of events about to happen, the collection was made and a few wonderful custom orders were created for the ladies that knew they loved the vibe and would wear them asap. The entire concept of this Spring 2020 collection was to be made-to-order. The hats designed to match ensembles in a complimentary way, not matchy matchy. The ability to add a pop of color to your favorite spring outfit, or to simply have a new BFF of a hat in your favorite tone. The trim was two to three tailored bows in tonal colors. I adored the bows of this collection. Just enough to be fun and whimsical, but also the tone on tone look kept the trims subtle and made YOU stand out rather than the hat. .
They needed to be on heads more than ever! The colors alone are healing. Dressing UP is healing. Feeling happy is healing! So instead of storing the samples until next year, I've chosen to throw a Sample Sale!
50% OFF ALL of the Sample Hats from Bette & Her Sisters, The Spring 2020 Collection. This incredible, deeply saturated version of the palette choice,"Flame", was custom colored for Ako, who lives in NYC and travels often. She has that tried and true New Yorker look in that her wardrobe leans towards the mostly all-black, side. Adding this major POP of color is awesome. This hat came out stellar!,
There were only nine in total. There's now only seven left!!! While they last!
I really do feel this was one of my favorite Spring collections in my 30yr. hat career. This collection will come around again. Likely next Spring. I believe in it that much. I can see  ladies entering the events, polished, turning heads and showing up on the best dressed list! So my first thought was to simply store my samples I had created. Save them for next year. However, the last few weeks, in general, were so sad and heartbreaking, I decided I didn't want to store these beauties.
For Enid, also is a New Yorker and always wears a hat, She fell in love with the rich Denim color. (me too!!!) Her hat came out oh so dreamy. Nowadays she is doing all her work via zoom and is known for lifting the spirits of her colleagues as she wears her Bette in the meetings. The Power Of A Hat. xo

Because Style IS Always The Choice! Who doesn't love an instant Style Maker! I mean INSTANT! Pop it on and "Poof!", you've gone from regular to FAB, from "Oh my goodness this hair!" to "Oh snap! I got this!" Ladies! I designed the new Style Maker because I saw a need for it. A great every day hat, trim options to customize your look, made-to-order because EVERYONE'S headsize is different... and at a modest price point so it was an affordable luxury experience,
High on the luxury experience, reasonable on the investment. Since designing this hat I have worn mine... every single day! I mean not a day goes by that I am not headed outdoors for a walk, or to work in my "Al Fresco Office Du Jour", or needing to run an errand or three. Every time my Style Maker is on my head.
I can pair it like pictured here for a morning 3 mile walk. I'm shaded, styled and totally comfortable. The natural raffia straw is SOOOOO light and absolutely perfect for the hot temps of the desert here. What I really LOOOOOVE about my Style Maker is that while it works for uber casual looks, I can pair mine with a fabulous dress and feel incredibly sexy and chic. Now that is something!
So why is it coming up to LAST CALL for ordering such a great hat?!!! Style Kat Hats is now about bringing you stellar styles seasonally. Production time for a made-toorder custom hat, like The Style Maker, runs around four weeks from order to shipping. So a June 30th order end date means you'll receive your Style Maker at the end of July. Perfect for enjoying August and early Fall with your hat. (Note: any orders prior to June 30th will be approx. four weeks from your order. So the sooner you order, the sooner your hat arrives.) The Style Maker is a hat that will last for years and numerous repeat seasons. However, for Style Kat Hats, come July, I'll be preparing for Fall and the style I'll be wanting to bring you then. In the very near future SKH designs will be produced by a stellar millinery company in NYC. This will also mean some of the styles will change a bit as I re-design to go into a bigger production run... each hat STILL made individually, just not by my hands. So... what this means to you... if you LOVE The Style Maker and want to be sure to have your hat made by my hands and in time for this Summer season... please place your order by June 30. There is a split pay for ease of two monthly installments of $110 with s/h/ split between the months as well. Reach out with any questions. I am here to help you. xo
THE STYLE MAKER One great Raffia Straw Fedora made to order in your specific head size, one trim of your choice to suit your personal style.

TO ORDER
BONUS TRIM! You'll be receiving your choice of rawhide band, chocolate or blonde, to give you more options for looks to wear. Pair the leather over your ribbon for a fun look or wear your extra trim as you wish. If you are planning on choosing one of the leather trim options available as your main choice, you'll receive the narrow taupe ribbon trim as your bonus. It is both stylish and neutrally streamlined.
I LOVE OPTIONS!!!
My thoughts on June 5th....
Riding into the storm. That’s what it feels like these days in business. Shamed if you do, damned if you don’t. I say damned because halting business means you best hope your bills are halted too (and they never seem to be). What a catch-22. There’s a choice to be made. As a heart led creative entrepreneur I have found myself frozen for over a week. Heartbroken, sensitive, concerned. I tried and then held back. I held out as long as I could. The storm is here. But this is not my destination. I feel out in the elements, not in a shelter, not ready to sit out a storm. It’s time to get on the road. Ever feel that way?
Let's Talk Business Your Business
If Not Now... WHEN? I'm diving right into the heart of you today. I'm diving into your hopes and dreams. The chances you want to take and the choices you are currently making. Are they aligned? Are the choices supporting the chances? It took me till my 40's to really embrace the longing I had to travel. I mean yes, I did adventure. Moved on my own to Venice Beach at 18, moved on my own to Maui at 21, finally moved on my own to NYC at 43. But it took till 45 to get on a plane to France. I had been thinking of France since I was about nine. That's three decades of "thinking about".
Once I actually got on that plane it was a whole new world. Now it's a no-brainer for me. In the past seven years I have headed across the seas 4x. France every time... and this is only the start. (Greece I am vibing on strongly as part of my next adventure.) The inspiration to take the actual step came but what made me get on the airplane was a plan around that inspiration. That is where strategy comes in. A word I personally adore. A skill I am stellar at. It was one thing to say, "Fine. Now is the time. I am doing this.", it was a whole different thing to ACTUALLY map out the steps to do this! Your vision, be that personal dream or business result requires some strategy for it to come to harvest.
Take a peek at my Viability Workshop. Viability is not solely just for businesses, though it's for sure a specialty of mine for businesses. The Viability Workshop is also viable for your personal shifts. For strategies around getting you from where you are now to where you truly want to be.Â
A deep dive shared moment prior to your 60 min. 1:1 workshop call will get you finally moving in the right direction.
This could mean preparing to change jobs or careers, planning your next step towards your heart's desire, or simply taking what you are passionate about and getting that out there into the marketplace. Oh! Most importantly... making it viable!
You're on your own then! ;)With everything going on... what ever are you waiting for? It's time for you Babe. Truly.
When you're ready, I'm ready... well, right now I am ready. I can't say I'll be still ready if you take three decades to finally say yes to you like I did.

The Power of No… Thank You. It’s not that you are saying no forever… but what if you said “no” for now? Does that serve you best? When we say “yes” from an expectation place (be that expectation of ourselves or someone else), those things we say “yes” to, do not truly serve us at all. Let’s shift that!
