Husband and I shot this gorgeous vintage dress. April's outfit of the month. All the feels and moods and weather we could ask for.  Not to mention my serious facial expressions.  Enjoy.

 I will do a separate post with a lot more photos of our trip to Hollywood but here is a dress I bought at the Winnetka Thrift Shop by my house that I brought for my first time ever in LA.  Love this look and it definitely fit the scene.

Omgosh! March 8th is my birthday and I had so much fun this year spending time with my family!  We ordered food, sat around my table in our chairs and ate a whole bunch of pizza and cake lol. I wore a gorgeous vintage Boden dress. Honestly, every year I want to do something special like go to a new restaurant, but this year I was just like "pizza party at my house." 

We are going on a vacation so don't worry I will be posting more videos and photos of my birthday vaca with my husband. 

Speaking of travel and vacations. 

A few places I've been to that I didn't mention on the blog:

• Poland- amazing, gorgeous, the most beautiful country on earth. (sorry had to, I'm Polish and I love my family's country.) Been to a lot of towns and cities here too many to count or remember.
• Italy: Venice, Verona, Milan
• France
• England: London & Dover: Christmas caroling in England was quite an experience. Christmas in England was a beautiful experience all together.
• Morocco Marrakesh (honeymoon, LOOVED)
• Scotland- Got married here, such a good pick for a wedding! (rolling hills and castles, just perfect)
• Switzerland: Nothing like skiing in the Swiss Alps!
• Mexico: Ixtapa, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, Tulum, (all of these and more like 50 times since high school, I have no idea. Mexico has a lovely place in my heart. )
• I'll add more later. My memory is ridiculous! 

This weekend I leaned into October with this vintage yellow sweater, these thrifted jeans from KMK luxury consignment in Winnetka, and a beautiful yellow vintage clutch.  

There's something about vintage sweaters that often carry that slightly masculine shape, the boxy shoulders and roomy sleeves.  This vintage yellow sweater has that borrowed-from-him feel.  Soft, a little over-sized and perfectly worn in.  

Paired with denim, a matching vintage clutch, and little red stilettos to dress it up on a Saturday afternoon.  My husband and I spent our Saturday doing what fall weekends are made for: Coffee at a new cafe, walks in town, and a delicious brunch after. 

September reminds me to slow down, to light a candle earlier in the evening, to take longer walks when the air feels new again, to lean into the ritual of getting dressed as a way of marking time.  

This coat is by far my most favorite vintage coat that I own.  I wear it every fall and winter to almost every event. (Not that I go to too many events) but if I get the chance to dress up and go out, this vintage coat is just amazing. There really are no words describe this coat. I bought it at a vintage fair and it came with a matching skirt. I'm also wearing a beautiful vintage purse that glows with the outfit. 

September is a month of shifting moods and I find calm in it's quiet contrasts- the crisp air outside, the deeper tones in my wardrobe, the sense that slowing down can be its own kind of beauty.
