It’s giving chic auntie vibes! I am not a fan of denim shorts so when I found these pleated yet stretchy shorts at Costco from the brand 32 Degrees Cool, I knew I had to pick them up. They are perfect to both dress up and down. Also love Jane Birkin-ifying my vintage Speedy 25 (she’s from the early 90’s) and the strap is the cachets strap from my vintage Keepall 45.

I love a good vintage bag. Switching out of the Dior Book Tote in Plan de Paris to this beautiful vintage (from 1999!) Epi Petite Noe from Louis Vuitton. I always recommend buying vintage whenever possible / these bags are built to be workhorses!

Vintage shopping and thrifting is such a great way to add unique pieces to your wardrobe. I picked all this up at a local vintage store. Can we just have a moment for Victoriana, leopard, and Zimmerman vibes at 1/10th of the price?!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal

Why oh why is it 80 degrees in October?! Anyways, feeling witchy today with my graphic sweatshirt from Etsy and super old Zella leggings. Bag of the day is my vintage Chanel classic flap - she’s older than me!

Spooky season is in full effect, so that means time for spooky reads! A dear friend of mine recommended this one and I was so happy the library had it available. #womenwhoread #bookworm #witchyreads

#LTKHalloween #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKSeasonal

Going away for a quick weekend trip to Door County and sharing what I’m taking with me! Even though we are driving and not flying, I prefer to use my regular sized Away carry-on for ease.

Started to work on my physical TBR but the library had other plans! This book, the second in Sarah Stewart Taylor’s Frank Warren and Alice Bellows Mysteries, came out in August. I was not anticipating coming up on the wait list at the library so soon! Support your local libraries and bookstores!

#LTKFindsUnder50

Finished this standalone fiction novel that takes place both in our time and in a fantasy realm. I give it 3/5 stars. It’s fine and a quick read but I also felt like a lot of it was rushed and some of the parts that were drawn out didn’t add a lot to the storyline. #tbr #LTKReads #LTKBooks

#LTKFindsUnder50

Channeling my inner Sally and Gillian Owen’s with a cute summer dress and oversized cardigan because it’s September 1st - witchy season is upon us!

#LTKPetite #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKSeasonal

I’ve had a lot of trouble with finding a book to keep my attention but this one, which tells the story of three women in the same family connected across centuries, grabbed me right away! #currentlyreading #womenwhoread #witchyreads #fallreads #spookyseason

Influenced by another creator to pick up the Baggu Medium Crescent in my favorite pattern, Swan Lake. Love that it has romantic yet spooky vibes! Should I share a video of what I carry in here? #baggu

This is one of my favorite thing I always pick up when we go to Paris. Such a light floral yet warm scent and provides the perfect amount of hydration to the skin. #frenchpharmacy #nuxe

Ready to passenger princess to the races!

When we go to the racetrack, I prefer to carry a belt bag with me with the essentials (the fancy purses stay at home!) some of my must-haves: sanitizer spray and wipes, power bank, hair tie and breath fresheners, Kleenex, wallet, poop bags, and sunglasses.

Last outfit idea - shirt is for AO Racing and was a limited edition they were selling while Spike was racing at 24H of Le Mans this year.

#LTKPetite #LTKSummerEdit #LTKFindsUnder100

Outfit idea number 2 for the racetrack. I love a good graphic tee and this one I picked up in 2023 at IMSA.

#LTKPetite #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKSummerEdit

We are off to the racetrack next weekend so I started putting some outfits together! As a short torso-d lady, I love a good crop top with mid rise jean shorts.

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKPetite #LTKSummerEdit

Doing a coastal grandma vibe today. Also, where have I been - linen pants are so freaking comfortable! I do definitely need to invest in an iron though.

These pants are from Costco and come in this tan pattern as well as olive and black.

#LTKItBag #LTKSummerEdit #LTKPetite

Off to my niece’s dance recital!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKPetite #LTKSummerEdit

The weather today is perfect for roaming around the garden center and then of course stopping at Costco.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKPetite #LTKSummerEdit

Still in the 50s here in Wisconsin but at least it’s sunny! I’ve definitely gotten my moneys worth out of this trench coat - I got it during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale a few years ago and I’ve worn it all over the world.

Parisian-chic casual dinner outfit for our last evening in Door County!

Ready for a day out in Door County, WI!

Passenger princess vibes. All the comfort with none of the stress.

#LTKTravel #LTKItBag #LTKStyleTip

Preparing for a short road trip and weekend away! Of course I had to pull out my trusty Away Carry-On in silver aluminum and using my new to me Chloe Marcie bag (bought on FASHIONPHILE, this lady is from 2011!) I always want to be comfortable so will be representing Les Bleus with my sweatshirt. #travel

Following Magic Lessons is The Rules of Magic, which tells the story of the fabulous witchy aunts from Practical Magic - Franny and Jet. This story also shares how Sally and Gillian came to live with the aunts. #tbr #booksilove #bookrecommendations #bookworm

#LTKFindsUnder50

Working through my TBR for this year and started with the origin story of Maria Owens, the original witch and ancestor of the women in the movie Practical Magic. I love Alice Hoffman’s writing and how I was transported back to the 1600s. #tbr #booksilove #bookrecommendation #currentlyreading

Since the weather in Wisconsin continues to be awful, today was the perfect day to spend antiquing! Pro tips: always carry a small tape measure (I have one on a keychain) and carry a small crossbody bag, as many antique stores (especially if they’re really large buildings) don’t allow large bags.

#LTKPetite #LTKItBag

Since Deborah Harkness is doing a read-along on her Instagram, I figured it was time to pick this baby up! #LTKbook #reader #fantasy #bookworm

I never thought I would be able to pull off a bold, red up but this SuperStay Liquid Iipstick from Maybelline is a great color and stays on for HOURS. Love this line of products and have several other colors as well.

#LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKStyleTip

Ready for a night out! I love a good leopard piece and this blazer paired with the Schutz Tennie boots is a perfect combo! I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth from both of these pieces! The blazer is from J.Crew but I purchased it on Poshmark along with the Tennie boots - if you’re looking to save some money, check there first!

I’m always on the hunt for great nonfiction and so far I’m really enjoying the stories of women throughout history in this book.

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome

I’m trying to hard to carry smaller bags for the sake of my back. Amazing how much I can git in this vintage Chanel! #whatsinmybag

#LTKItBag #LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50

The newest addition to my perfume collection that has the most ancient scent - it transports me to the past. The perfect scent for transitional seasons.

Love red roses and red soles! I love the added detail on the Hot Chick style of these classic Christian Louboutin black pumps. These are also available pre/loved!
