Autumnal Delights

For most of the world, we're all headed into that sacred, beautiful time known as Autumn. A wonderful and dreamy season that passes all too quickly as it descends into Winter. 

Now, for those who follow Beatrice and Nadia on various social medias like Facebook (find us and "like us!") and B's Birdcage Twitter, you find two very different points of views on the changing season from Beatrice and Nadia. Comments from Beatrice are usually variations of: "Bring back Summer!" and "I put on my jacket for the first time this summer, shoot me now." Nadia's are more along the lines of "Oh, I love when the weather gets a little bit nippy." and "Yes! Fall clothes in the stores already." She's much more tolerant than Beatrice, as you can see.

It's obvious, you can tell Beatrice isn't all too thrilled with the changing season, while Nadia looks forward to it for as long as the cooler weather remains reasonable. (Keyword, reasonable.) However, despite Beatrice's many protestations, both Beatrice and Nadia love Autumn and all that it consists of.

Bike rides for Beatrice become prettier with the colorful trees above, and the crunchy leaves on the pavement prove too hard to resist stomping on. Apple-picking comes around which brings apple cider which is manna on Earth in her opinion, and the pumpkins. Oh, the pumpkins. This is when Beatrice's inner chef comes out. Think: pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup with apples, pumpkin pie, pumpkin risotto, pumpkin penne. The possibilities are endless, but she digresses. 

Nadia revels in the earthy smell of burning leaves and fireplaces being lit anew after a long slumber. The colors of the foliage makes her smile as she walks past. There's a sense of new beginnings as she begins a new school year. The temperature drops just enough enough to require a pretty little jacket but not too much that it can be considered cold. That is exactly the best moment of the entire season for her.

Autumn is special. Embrace it, spend every moment realizing it, revel in it, pay attention to it. The crunchy leaves are calling to you, and you know it. But be careful, keep warm in case of a nippy breeze. This green paisley jacket is perfect to throw on once the warmth fades away for the day. Keep it unbuttoned, scrunch up the sleeves, and let loose, it's Autumn!

We told you our favorite things about Autumn: pumpkins, leaves, and the perfect temperature for a jacket. What are your favorite things about the season? We'd love to hear it!

Happy Vintaging!

Beatrice and Nadia
