Heritage Trail Mercantile- Northfield, IL

Oh my goodness, where do I even begin. I have been living in the Northshore for almost 9 years now it wasn't until today that I discovered this beautiful and amazing vintage shop in Northfield. Heritage Trail Mercantile. I found it on Instagram and I had to stop by. I tried on so many different outfits and bought a very beautiful dress. They have so many treasures in this place, I actually didn't have enough time to look through everything but I will be back there very soon to shop for more.

Lost Girls Vintage- Chicago

Today I stopped in the gorgeous Lost Girls Vintage Shop in West Town. I tried on the most beautiful 1940's dress (scroll down). They have different years/eras categorized for easy thrifting and a section for only designer vintage. They also have such fun accessories; sunglasses, hair clips, socks (I bought a pair. I have a little obsession with patterned socks) and more. They have two shops, one in Logan Square and one in West Town. The pink vibrant energy makes you want to stay longer and try everything on. I'll be back for sure.

Farm life in Door County

Door County Wisconsin is not that far, only a 2 hour drive or so from our house in Deerfield, IL. The cute shops, horse back riding, and charm made me want to stay an extra week but we had to get back.

I use to horse back ride a lot in Lake Forest, IL growing up with my sister (We are not from Lake Forest, IL we just took lessons there and my mom's friend owned the stable. She's also my sister's God mother) so I have some experience. Not to mention horse back riding in Poland with my dad in the multiple stables his friends has. There is a story of me on a horse in Poland. Not trotting, not cantering, not even galloping, it was like racing. I decided at that point that I would just jump off because I thought I would die. The horse returned to the stable without me and my father had to come find me. I was in the bushes just in shock and waited for someone to come get me. They were like "where is Amelia?" Anyway, My father made me get back on the horse and ride it all the way back to the house/stable where we were staying to face my fear.

So we went horse back riding and it was more of a tourist trail ride which I was completely fine with! It felt different, like I had to remember how to even hold the reins. Going from horse jumping (riding and jumping over fences at age 8 or so) to a tourist ride and feeling tired felt kind of weird. I am definitely getting older. Maybe one day Tim and I will have our own horse and I can practice more like I did when I was young.

Anyway the farm and animals were so adorable and so was the food! We will definitely be coming back this summer.
