As much as I loved my 20s and am certainly enjoying my 30s, a big part of me is also looking forward to my 40s, my 50s, my 60s and beyond. Truthfully, I can already picture it. Summers spent visiting my friends in their different cities around the world, driving around in a classic convertible that I've maintained by hand myself, living in a remote (but modest) villa somewhere tucked away under the Tuscan sun. I'll be the eccentric former New Yorker, scarf thrown over my windblown hair with a corgi or two at my side and my love in the passenger seat. We'll make art, write stories and maybe even try our hand at wine making. I'd work to live intentionally, but I won't live to work irrationally. Maybe I'll own a little bookstore in the nearby village. Maybe I'll close early on Mondays and walk over to the piazza, where I'll sit with a bottle of something local. Maybe a dear friend from a previous chapter of my life will sit down with me and we'll chat for hours about what once was. And maybe in that moment in the sunshine with my old friend, I'll smile, thinking about all the wonderful things yet to come. Don't get me wrong, by no means am I in a hurry to get to these future chapters of my life, but I do think it's high time we start romanticizing the art of aging and seeing it for the gift that it truly is. After all, dreams are wonderful, necessary even, in our youth. But please, whatever you do, don't let them stop there. // Filmed in Prague at the Municipal Concert Hall . . . . #darkacademia #darkacademiaaesthetic #orchestra #symphonyhall #darkacademialife #vintagemood #vintagelife #darkcottagecore #cottagecore #bookstagram #everydaymagic #vintageaesthetic #hogwarts #gloomandglow #vintageweekly #slowandsimpleday #thatauthenticfeeling #amomentofwonder #prague #calm_collected #myseasonalstory #oldsoul #thatmagicmood

The moment you start seeing your life as art in all states — the mess, the masterpiece and everything in between — you start realizing how important the brushstrokes are. The details you could miss if you didn't come up close to admire. The symphony in nuances. The poetry in mistakes. The prose in confusion. The manifestos in the mundane. Don't overlook those. They're worthwhile, too. Usually even more so. // Filmed at the Municipal Concert Hall in Prague . . . . . #darkacademia #darkacademiaaesthetic #orchestra #symphonyhall #darkacademialife #vintagemood #vintagelife #darkcottagecore #cottagecore #bookstagram #everydaymagic #vintageaesthetic #hogwarts #gloomandglow #vintageweekly #slowandsimpleday #thatauthenticfeeling #amomentofwonder #prague #calm_collected #myseasonalstory #winteraesthetic #thatmagicmood

This is the best example of an Art Nouveau building that you can visit in Prague. The stunning exterior is only a taste of the fabulous interior. On the ground level, you have the beautiful elegant Pilsen restaurant dressed with opulent chandelier lights that run the length of the cafe. You can have a meal, or just have cake and coffee, which are delicious and reasonable, given the setting. Their is a grand theatre with top class shows every night on the ground floor. On another occasion I went to the American Bar which is situated downstairs on your right, after you go through the main doors. Don't miss this gem of a place. If you want to experience total immersion in Art Nouveau design, this is the authentic experience. Look at the beautiful tiles and the intricate brasswork on the lift as you decend the stairs. Lovingly carved & painted panneling, seating and tiling are in abundance, even the clock is a work of high Art as is the coat rack ! I had cake & coffee but other diners had the dinners, which they seemed to eat with relish. Prices were reasonable and the cake was delicious. The waiter was very pleasant & attentive. To make the experience even more memorable, a sweet little old man was playing a medley of tunes throughout the evening. If you want Art Nouveau immersion, this is the place ! Enjoy !

Our visit to the Municipal Theatre in Prague was a truly enchanting experience. Nestled within the stunning Municipal House, this theatre is a remarkable example of Art Nouveau architecture, and its beauty left us in awe. The intricate details, from the ornate facades to the stunning stained glass, create an atmosphere that feels both historic and vibrant. Although we did not attend a performance or take a guided tour, we enjoyed simply wandering around the Municipal House and admiring the architectural splendour. The grand entrance and beautifully decorated halls are a testament to Prague's rich cultural heritage, and we found ourselves captivated by the artistry that surrounds this venue. The location itself is perfect for exploring the nearby attractions, making it an ideal stop on our journey through Prague. Even without a performance, the Municipal Theatre offers a glimpse into the city's artistic soul, and we left feeling inspired by its beauty and history. Overall, our visit to the Municipal Theatre was a highlight of our trip. Whether you're a theatre enthusiast or just someone who appreciates stunning architecture, this venue is a must-see when in Prague!

We had a really good time at a concert at the Municipal House. The musicians were super talented and it was amazing to hear them play. We sat in row 13, seats 13 & 14 and had a great view. The rows are well spaced so there was enough leg room and the seats were comfortable. There is a cloakroom and there is a basic drinks service before and during the interval. It wasn’t clear when we booked how long the performance would be (roughly two hours) so people left confused at the interval. For those that stayed though, it was a wonderful show. It would have been great to have programmes for everyone rather than only those who asked. It would be great to know who we listened to, although whoever they were, they were great. Also, the interval drinks were all served in glasses yet the staff member in the auditorium was completely angered by people bringing their glasses back to their seats. Top tip: don’t bring your drinks glasses in unless you want to get shouted at.

Visiting Obecní dům in Prague was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped into this architectural gem, I was transported into a world of exquisite Art Nouveau design. The intricate details of the interior, from the lavishly decorated ceilings to the stunning stained glass, are a feast for the eyes. The Smetana Hall, a concert hall inside, is not only a visual delight but also offers phenomenal acoustics, making the live classical music performances I attended there truly mesmerizing. What really stood out to me was the blend of art and history in every corner of the building. Obecní dům is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates art, architecture, and history. Its beauty and historical importance make it one of the highlights of Prague. A truly enriching experience that I would recommend to everyone!
