Katie Armour's delightful blog The Neo-Traditionalist is one of my daily must reads. Her site purveys all sorts of incredible imagery and fashionable tidbits. A true kindred spirit, Katie did two years of her undergrad work in Switzerland while Camilla and I were studying in Scotland. And don't even get me started on all of our shared style icons: Grace Kelly, Alexa Chung, Audrey Hepburn, Clemence, & more. We were thrilled to be included in her Plucky Pioneers post last March and I'm now delighted to be able to reciprocate the hostessing! The ever chic Katie has put together a post on her dream holiday outfit. We hope you enjoy! 

Fans of Katie's should check out her latest project Matchbook Magazine, which will launch in January 2011. xxR
