Online, in person, with friends, or solo; a slow stroll through the sale aisles or a quick “add to cart” — I’m a fan of shopping in all its forms. But I’m not just collecting clutter, despite what Molner might tell you. These days, I’m pretty intentional: I want every new purchase to earn its keep — and whenever possible, come from brands that champion their craft, care for their customers, and tread lightly on the planet.
As you've probably learned, I'm also a passionate researcher and (ha) oversharer. I'm constantly raving to my friends, family, team, and followers about my latest obsessions. So we've created a home for all those recommendations here on KatieCouric.com.
I’m so excited to introduce Katie’s Obsessions 2026, full of my favorite finds, from clothing I wear on repeat to the decor that made my house a home to the irresistible reads that have earned a spot in my book club. Some are practical, some are a little luxurious, and some start at just $7. But they all have one thing in common: I genuinely love them. I hope you find something you love, too!
- Katie
