Hello my dears, I’ve decided to take a bit of time off from posting new YouTube videos for a few reasons. The main reason is that I’ve been dealing with a bit of an eye infection that is causing some blurred vision and it’s been difficult for me to be on the computer for long periods. So writing and editing videos has been a bit difficult for me lately. So I’d really like to give myself time to rest and heal.

Another reason I’m taking a break is to essentially get my “Mise En Place” regarding my channel. Lately my videos haven’t been getting much traction and honestly it’s starting to weigh on me. I feel like I just can’t figure out the formula. Most of my videos are only being viewed by less than 10% of my subscribers and I’m just not sure what the issue is. Is it that the subject itself isn’t interesting? Is the thumbnail or title not catchy enough? Getting the right formula for videos to not only be seen by my subscribers, but also to attract new viewers and hopefully subscribe, seems elusive to me.

Of course I don’t want to overlook the people who DO watch my videos and comment and do all the things that help my channel grow, because I see you and I appreciate you so much! I know that comparison is the thief of joy, but it’s so hard to see other creators in the same or similar niche (some doing the same videos as me) growing by leaps and bounds, while I struggle to get seen even by the people who subscribe to me.

So anyway, I’d like to take this break to learn a few things, maybe re-evaluate how I do things and get my ducks in a row to start creating better, more interesting content for you all. I’m always open to suggestions or ideas to help make my content interesting and entertaining for you.

I’m hopping to just take the month of May off, but we’ll see how my eye feels in a few weeks. Thank you and I love you all!

I had fully intended to have another video out for you all this evening, but on our last day visiting Prague, I got sick. It's just a cold, but boy did it kick my butt. I've been a bit out of sorts for the past week, and just wasn't able to get the video recorded. I'm starting to feel better, and I'm hoping that my voice is better and the congestion is gone enough to film this week. I'm certain you don't want to hear my stuffy nose/voice in a video.  

However, that means that I'll be putting my video out next weekend, on Easter Sunday. Though I don't celebrate the day myself, I often worry about putting videos out on holidays. What are your thoughts? Do you still watch videos on holidays or do you tend not to get onto YouTube? 

Anyway, here are some photos from my 50th birthday trip to Prague. I'll (hopefully) see you very soon.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day☘️🍀

This was my outfit this past weekend to check out the Vienna St. Patrick’s Day parade …spoiler alert, it was a sad little parade 😫.

You know, Vienna does a lot of things right, but they just haven’t gotten the hang of a good parade.

Anyway, I wanted to include all the colors of the Irish flag in this outfit and I really love this look. I’m spending the day cleaning the house and packing for our trip to Prague because tomorrow is my birthday!

I’m turning 50 soon and just posted a new video talking about getting older and trying some new things this year.

The video also includes some old photos of me as a kid, teenager, and young adult… which means you can witness several decades of hair and fashion decisions in one convenient location 😂

Quick question for you:
How do you feel about getting older?

New video is live! A cozy, subtle ASMR journey through some of my fragrance collection.

It’s a day later than planned (I had a few editing and technical hiccups that took longer than expected) but I’m really happy with how this one turned out.

I’m sharing my perfume collection in a softer, more relaxed style. Think cozy, slow, and atmospheric - a gentle ASMR if you will.

If you enjoy gentle, descriptive fragrance content, this one might be for you.

What kind of scents are you drawn to lately?

I didn’t buy anything new for this look.

I just saw this vintage magazine image… and shopped my own closet.

Lately I’ve been looking to recreate vintage fashion illustrations using pieces I already own. Not exact replicas — just translating the silhouette, proportions, and overall mood into something wearable today.

This one is all about structured tailoring on top and relaxed, wide-leg ease below.

Would you wear this version?

Outfit details:

Blazer: Revival Retro
Sweater: Cider
Trousers: Cider
Loafers: Dream Pairs

A little New Year energy from me and Mildred.

I’ve got a new video up talking about how my vintage style is shifting — slower, simpler, and very much on purpose. Fewer pieces, more outfit repeating, and choosing what actually works for my everyday life.

If you’re starting the year in comfy clothes you love (highly recommended), this one might be right up your alley.

Happy Yule, friends ✨

I hope today brings you some calm and a bit of light in the middle of a very busy month.

I also want to let you know that I won’t have a video out this week. I’ve been having a harder time than usual with my mental health recently, and instead of pushing through and delivering something half-hearted, I’m giving myself a little space to regroup. I'm not looking for sympathy — I just want to be straightforward with you and not disappear without saying anything.

Thank you for your patience and for sticking with me. I’m hoping to have a great video for you next week.

Wishing you a peaceful Yule and a gentle end to the year. 💛

I just shared a new video all about how to wear a beret. Berets may look difficult, but they’re actually one of the easiest vintage accessories to style once you know the basics.

In the video, I walk through placement, how to keep it secure, different hair options, and the classic fabrics you’ll see in vintage-inspired berets.

If you wear berets, let me know your favorite way to style them! And if you’ve been nervous to try one, tell me what’s been holding you back — I’m curious.
