Heyyyyy! I’m Kathryn, the girl behind the blog. I’m from a small town in Ohio and married my college sweetheart in January 2016. My husband, Michael, and I met at Miami University (LOVE & HONOR) where we were both in the pistol club. In college I minored in Arabic and Russian because I actually hated having enough time to sleep.

After brief stints in Mississippi and Virginia, we now live in beautiful San Diego, CA where Michael is a pilot in the Navy. On the weekend you can usually find Michael and I (& our German Shepherd Shadow, obviously) out in the wilderness, either hiking or off-roading with our jeep.

This blog was originally named Jassamine Elaine (RIP), and was renamed to Kathryn Hadel in the fall of 2017. I created this blog when Michael and I got engaged — I wanted a little space on the internet that I could take with me wherever I went. I LOVE having this online community to share style inspo + musings + adventures with you guys. I love and appreciate all of you. Seriously, we’re friends now so always feel free to reach out.
