Happy birthday to my stunning Polska mama! She’s the catalyst for my love of secondhand. She is the best, most caring mom who still cooks for and babies me (I’m almost 30!), just how I like 🙂
She immigrated to the U.S. in her early 20’s and finished her college degree while raising two toddlers, she’s not afraid of a challenge. She’s an artist, smarty who always helped me with my math and science homework, master cook and baker, silly, and has impeccable fashion and home interior taste. Thanks to her I’ve adopted the habit to always overdress for any occasion. I love her more than my words can convey! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMUSIA, STO LAT!! xoxo
Below are some fun photos of my mom from the 80’s for your fashion/vintage inspiration!
**If you’re curious, sto lat means “100 years” in Polish. It’s a birthday wish and also how you say cheers!
