Autumn in Prague

Hello! Happy Autumn! 🍂

I'm sharing a few photos to bring a bit of that fall feeling to you. It’s the end of October, so we’re right in the heart of this beautiful season. 🤎 I think Autumn is my second favorite season, right after Summer. The colorful leaves make every road, street, and field look stunning, and I always feel a bit nostalgic in the Fall. 🧸 I think I’ll need to create a special post on where my mind is these days because so much has happened since my last update in the "MIND" section. One of the big things is that I'm trying to reconnect with my love for fashion more than I have in the past few years. I never stopped enjoying dressing up, and I always come back to an elegant, feminine style. We'll see where this journey takes me, as we’re all always evolving, right?

Have a lovely fall, my friends! Stay warm! ☕

I got this beautiful camel coat for my birthday this year, and I finally get to wear it now. It’s the perfect fall staple—seriously. So cozy, so warm, and so elegant. It elevates every look, I swear. I've also been loving holiday green this season, along with collared shirts. I’m working on adding more volume to my hair, too, since I have long hair now, but it's fine and flat—a lifelong battle, lol.

The Dark Academia fashion style and this whole layout I made quite nicely describes my current mood. 🍁 I think I want this to be my go-to style this season. Dark Academia embodies a scholarly, vintage aesthetic with a moody, romantic flair. It draws inspiration from classical literature, art, and education, often featuring:

✨ Color Palette: Dark, muted colors such as black, deep green, burgundy, and all shades of brown, often complemented by cream or beige.

✨ Key Pieces: Tailored blazers and coats, cozy sweaters, turtlenecks, cardigans, and high-waisted (often corduroy) trousers; flowy skirts; and vintage-inspired dresses.

✨ Textures: Fabrics like wool, velvet, and tweed, often layered for a cozy yet sophisticated look.

✨ Accessories: Classic items like leather satchels, round glasses, barrettes, and scarves, alongside items that evoke a scholarly vibe, such as quills and vintage books.

✨ Footwear: Oxford shoes, loafers, Mary Jane-style shoes, and ankle boots complete the ensemble.

Overall, Dark Academia captures a sense of nostalgia and intellectualism, evoking a love for literature and the arts in a slightly gothic, romantic way. I mean, doesn’t this all just scream AUTUMN? I just need to get me some cute reading glasses!

Do you send seasonal postcards? I can’t imagine fall and the holidays without sending cute postcards to my closest friends. This year, I supported a few local designers and bought these beauties. You can find them locally at a Cvrk Store or online (https://dubanci.cz/ and https://www.skfactory.cz/).

The best time to take out my mustard-colored sweater and layer it over a turtleneck.

I channeled my inner American and took myself on a date stroll through the colorful, leaf-covered streets of Prague. The hat is actually from a Florida boutique I worked at. Still missing it every day. 💔
