Hello my little Vintage Darlings ♡
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been a dreamer. Wishing away on wild daisies with my head up in the clouds just thinking about all the delightful things I could possibly do. I’d always get inspired by magical fairytales and my own imagination, writing down all the enchanting things I wished to do and accomplish in a dainty journal full of dreams. Whimsical thoughts and ideas would dance in my head, whispering in my ear like delicate fairies telling me to follow the magic that my heart so desired. Sadly I never listened and only kept my true wishes to my imagination.
With me being on the wonderful journey of self love and happiness this year, I’ve decided to start making those dreams come true and start living the fairytale life I’ve always wished upon the stars for.
Each month I will create lovely angelic goals that will lead me to the path of whimsical adventures, making the most of every magical moment, and letting my inner princess and true self shine through.
To keep track of all of my lovely wishes, I will share them monthly with all of you beautiful Darlings starting with the month of February.
♡ Learn about Crystals and their Magical Healing Powers – Something I’ve always been enchanted by has been beautiful crystals and the belief that they have the power to heal. Hearing so much about them, I’m aiming to learn all about the different gorgeous stones and how they can help. In doing this, I’d love to find the crystals that would be most beneficial to me and get at least one by the end of the month.
♡ Living in the moment – All too often do I find myself wishing away the current season for the next magical one instead of just enjoying what’s happening now. This leads me to feeling sad as I spent the entire time wishing it away instead of making the most of it. I’ve found myself doing this again with winter. Instead of just enjoying the time right now, I’ve been wishing for the breezy spring days and even planning out adventures. Usually when this happens and the actually season does get here, I never follow through with my dreams of a whimsical adventure because I’m too bust wishing for the next big thing. I’m choosing to change that this month. To instead start living in the now and making the most of each moment, even if it does look like a magical ice land outside.
♡ Find my way back to my art – Art is something that’s always been a huge part of my life. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been involved in the arts in some way or another; it has always been one of my true loves. To create art and make my dreams come true on the paper in front of me is such an exciting and magical feeling. I promised myself at a young age that I’d never give it up or let anyone change that about me. Sadly I’ve lost myself last year and in turn I lost my passion for art. Being creative has always helped me with dealing with stress in life, so this month is all about rediscovering my creativity even if all I do to start out are little doodles, I’ll find myself in my art again.
♡ Start a planner and bullet journal – Creating a beautifully organized planner has been something I’ve been dreaming of for a few years now. With my goals of living in the moment and rediscovering my art, what better time to start a planner? With a dreamy little planner, I can have all my thoughts organized and feel more organized as well. Bullet journaling is also something that has peaked my interest as of late as I love the idea of writing out your thoughts and wishes in an artistic way.
♡ Drink more tea – With tea being one of my most favorite things, I’d really like to start drinking more of it. There’s nothing like brewing tea in a fancy teapot and sipping it from dainty teacups; it just makes you feel so delicate! Lately I’ve been drinking more coffee than I’m used to, so I’d prefer to kick that habit and trade it in for delicious teas.
♡ Learn Lettering – Always fascinated by the delicate and careful swirls of lettering, I’d love to learn how to do it with ease. Just the intricate and fancy look of it has inspired me greatly.
With it being less than a week into this new enchanting month, I’m delighted to share that I’ve already been working towards these goals each day and will continue to do so to make my dreams into reality.
I hope this post inspires all you loves out there that no matter the time of year, you can create goals and make the wishes in heart come true. ♡
What are some of the dreams you Darlings are hoping to achieve this month?

The first thing I got was this delicate little velvet set. I’ve been in love with velvet for so long, so I was extremely happy when PINK got in on this trend. When I saw this set I just knew I had to have it. It’s so soft, light, and has a dainty floral print that’s perfect for the spring. The best part is I got both pieces for only $10.95!
These lovely pieces were in the sleep separates section. Originally I saw the shorts first and loved how delicate they looked. There’s blush pink hearts all over the white shorts and the material is so light and airy! When I was searching for a top to match these, I came across the ribbed sleep Henley and saw the absolute most gorgeous color for spring! It’s called Harbor Grey and it’s the prettiest dusty pastel green shade. It just reminds me so much of spring and makes me want to buy everything they have in this color. Another reason I really like the Henley’s is because of the dainty lace detailing around the neck of the top. It’s adds just the tiniest touch of girlyness!
The next two pieces I bought are also sleep separates, but from the PINK side. They’re new items for spring and they’re so soft! I just had to have this pastel tie dye sleep crew, it just looked so pretty; the color of it is even more gorgeous and pastel in person. To match I got these cute, little mint green shorts and the color on these is simply adorable!
The first thing I’m doing on this beautiful winter morning is taking care of my skin. The chilly winter wind can be harsh on skin, so to help it I like to gently exfoliate my face whenever I need it. I then follow up with my new favorite face cleanser, Lancôme’s Crème-Mousse Confort Comforting Cleansing Creamy-Foam with Rose Extract. It’s gentle on delicate skin and smells like romantic roses in the spring. It’s the perfect thing to add to any princess’s morning routine!
Reaching for my tulle Victoria’s Secret champagne and rose gold robe, I put it on and feel even more princess like. The robe is so light and airy, it just makes me feel so fancy. The sleeves are ruffled out and there’s rose gold stars sprinkled all over it. It’s such a whimsical design.
While the tea cools, I take out my matching Rose Confetti teacup and saucer; the dainty floral print of this collection makes me feel like a princess at tea time. Pouring myself a steaming cup of tea, I take a seat on the couch in my makeup room, resting against the rosy pillows. With a fluffy blush pink blanket gingerly wrapped around my shoulders, I prepare to have a princessy movie marathon with movies like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Roman Holiday, Marie Antoinette, and of course one of my all time favorites, The Aristocats. 
As the end of the day draws near and the stars are starting to sprinkle across the night sky, I welcome the night with a fancy bath.
Hello my Vintage Darlings ♡
It’s time for that to change in 2018. I’m going to treat myself like the princess I deserve to be and if that bothers people, (the way that I hold myself, write about what I’m doing, dress, treat myself, etc) then that says more about them than it ever will about me. I’m going to do what makes me happy and what makes me, me. It may take a while for me to get there, but I will eventually.
Another must have for me from this collection was the Raspberry Peach Macaron candle; I’m a sucker for anything macaron themed. I’m so happy I purchased this one because the smell is such a lovely, soft bakery scent!
