@ You crack me up! I’m Australian and it means you make me laugh in the best way. I have to admit I am not a fan of November, here. It is stinking hot! My one November in the Northern hemisphere was the most delightful of my life! My first Thanksgiving & an extraordinary amount of Shakespeare.
I hate how rushed everyone is to get to winter after Halloween. I still want to enjoy the good fall vibes in November. I enjoy basking in the melancholy of late autumn.
Is it still fall? When does it end? I really love fall and it's actually my favourite season but I tend to not make the best of it and miss out each year stupidly enough. Early autumn is perfect for me but it passes me by before I even really think about it because I tend to dwell on finding peace and calm from the hectics of summer (😵) that always completely disrupt my equilibrium and unnerve me for far too long while later in autumn it has gotten thus cold that I find it hard to will myself to go out into nature even though I really should!
There's two ends of historical sewing TH-camrs spectrum: the "l hand sewed the entire 17 century dress in time appropriate stitching techniques using pattern from that times" and Karolinas "I just layed this thing on the floor and kinda traced it and assumed some things and hadn't finished the insides because I hated it" and both end up looking amazing and I absolutely love it.
and both are important, because one preserve the knowledge and present it in very visual way and the other shows you it's ok to not be 100% perfect if you enjoy this hobby.
"Bronte books are November in a book form" - I live in Yorkshire, just a few miles from where they did, and I can confirm November lasts about 6 months here. You want grey skies? Howling wind? Dead leaves smacking you in the face? We've got more than you could ever need.
Better than three feet (one meter) of snow overnight, a 50F (10C) degree day where it all melts, and a 25F (-4C) night where it all freezes again, and then you have work in the morning and your boss can't seem to understand that EVERYTHING MIGHT AS WELL BE AN ICE RINK and you can't step foot out your door without landing on your butt on solid ice! Bitter? Me? Probably.
I love Thanksgiving. I get to sit with my family and eat good food; I get to connect. I think about the food I eat and all of the hard work and pride that goes into making it.
@@IAmBuddythedecibwave I like Thanksgiving too but it's not as special to me because my grandma is insane and makes huge meals every Sunday for the family lmao
"November is all about fog and crows and ravens and naked trees and long walks during which you imagine you are a romantic heroine in search of a better fate." Me: goes outside, gets attacked by a magpie, then simultaneously melts and burns alive under the raging sun. Ah, yes, November.
Isn’t it a bit late in the spring to still be getting Maggie attacks? They attack in September only where I am. But I am very unhappy about the heat tho. Brisbane is not a good place to live if you’re like me, and prefer the coldest, wettest, greyest and foggiest weather. Toowoomba during winter is good for fog, but the people up there are awful (sorry, not sorry. The landscape is pretty and the weather is superior. Can’t have everything I guess). I hate the heat. I wish it could just be winter again. I need to move to Scotland or somewhere where it actually gets cold and rarely gets hot.
Karolina: November is all about fog and naked trees Me, someone from the southern hemisphere, watching the pretty spring flowers and birds: November is about whAT
I live in California. For the past few weeks, the mornings have been misty and our afternoons have been in the high 80s. We defy seasons and months here.
November is the embodiment of fall. Taylor Swift’s folklore aesthetic could not exist without November, I said what I said. Gothic literature/entertainment could not exist without November. The weather is also perfect because it can be cool or warm depending on the day. It sets the stage for cozy nights, listening to the rain fall as you read. November has rights!
As a November birthday girl, who loves to imagine she is a dark heroine when she goes for a walk and HAS to live by the sea and imagines she is the mermaid in The Lighthouse lol NOVEMBERS FTW
@@freyialilian You're very welcome. My sister, brother, and nephew all have birthdays in November too, so I guess you can say I never forget November haha.
November is when my mental health is always at it's worst. It's the anniversary of some really bad stuff and it suddenly gets dark really early. Seeing you and others in the comments point out the beautiful parts about November helps me see the good in the hardest part of the year.
I understand. It’s cold, starting to snow, and dark where I am. Seasonal depression hits. I can’t wake up in the dark. But it’s the month I start rebuilding my indoor jungle with fervor and sewing warm blankets.
January is the worst. Anyway, I get myself an UVB Lamp, so whenever I feel the"darkness"creeping up in the corner of my room or her breath of my neck... I switch on the"sun"(!)
Fashion books tell you what most people would probably have worn, but a girl could easily have borrowed Aunt Agatha’s cameo necklace without telling her, and gone outdoors in a pretty dress, favorite boots and no pelisse to accidentally meet Mr. Handsome in the lane.
I read somewhere that in Normandy in November people would build big fires and sit around and tell stories and enjoy listening to the storms outside. I feel like that is definitely a vibe.
In some parts of Germany it's also commen to celebrate "Sankt Martin", where children show their handcrafted lanterns and the whole village meets at a bonfire. Usually accompanied with music, singing, and spiced wine, while the children get "Weckmänner" (bread) and hot chocolate. It's always a really nice evening.
November is the most disagreeable month in the whole year," said Margaret, standing at the window one dull afternoon, looking out at the frostbitten garden. "That's the reason I was born in it," observed Jo pensively, quite unconscious of the blot on her nose.
As a November baby I wish to personally thank you for not just aknowledging November but doing so in a positive way. (Flashback to reading Meg's opinion of November in Little Women as a child)
November is my birth month and I personally appreciate the pro-November campaign you have going. Some people complain that it's like if Thursday was a month long? I... like Thursday? It's the day where you give up on your grand ideas from Monday and just focus on wrapping up your business, without the expectation of fun for Friday. A breather before you are supposed to be sociable again, if u will
Thursday is my favorite day! I remember reading a Steinbeck book a while ago that dwelled a lot on Thursdays being the best days of the week XD it's called Sweet Thursday
Thursday is my favorite day of the week. It's next to Friday and my favorite TV programs were on Thursday. Now it's our day off of work. So yay for Thursday.
I've always thought November is the saturday of the year: you can plan it as you wish without having to attend any mandatory event, and the feeling of anxiety that comes with the New Year is still far away.
Me, an American with a toxic family... We have Thanksgiving here where we're supposed to be grateful for things but people are obsessed with consumerism now so now it's just eating with toxic family and raising hell at stores.
As a November born person, I always loved this month, where the autumn colour fades into bare, dramatic trees and foggy cold skies. I love the wind and the crows and the coming darkness outdoors, contrasted with the warm fires and cozy autumn atmosphere indoors.
November is a month of death, when the veil thins and several holy and commemorative days occur. Perhaps we tend to skip over it because we aren't comfortable being present with the moody, liminal space it offers.
Everything is dying and going into hibernation. Silly, personal note: I was born in November. I am a Scorpio; I read somewhere that the specific date and time of my birth means that I'm one of "the most Scorpio Scorpios to ever exist." In numerology, I am a 4, which is considered unlucky by the Japanese due to the fact that it sounds like "death" when spoken aloud. Every. Single. Astrology-like system, when I input my info, comes back with 'DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH REBIRTH DEATH DEATH DEATH.' It used to bother me, but now I just laugh. I haven't died yet. (I know that's not the point; I like making stupid jokes.)
Even though I know you’ve said you don’t love posting sewing content cos you feel like you’re going to be judged by other sewing people, I love it when you post sewing content. It feels really real and normal and I enjoy it a lot
It’s the best. Even in Houston and MS/TN where we don’t get proper seasons or pretty orange 🍁, we still have tiny periods of time of barren trees, crunchy forest leaves, and breezes / stagnant cold just cool enough to give you that somber but somehow cathartic energy. Thankful for having that at least a little lol
Brontë heroine that has just been for a walk is literally the look I try to achieve when I do my makeup in the autumn Also: I appreciate the bonus kitty footage
"Bronte books are November but in book form" I never thought about that specifically, but you are correct. Like, once you said that something clicked in my brain and now it's just an immutable truth of the universe. Thank you for this insight haha. Also, all the aesthetic shots of your at your desk?? I'm living 👌😩
Karolina: describing a beautiful, dark, grey, cold and foggy time of year (which is all my favourite) Me: cries in Australian. It’s hot today. It’s only 8am and it’s already hot. Someone save me and take me to a northern hemisphere country. I want the cold and grey dammit! I hate the heat. Brisbane is not the best place for me to live.
I agree with all of this! WA is so. fing. hot. and everyone keeps talking about the heat and sun as if it's wonderful. Even the weather reporters are bigoted against cool days. ugh.
Honestly, kinda excited for that new Hallmark Christmas Movie, about Australia. I want a bit a change of pace in my Christmas Movies. Cause it's either Snow, New York, or Southern California. And I am like " Can we just have a different Aesthetic PLEASE!!"
@@maleahlock I just don’t get it. Heat is awful. The humid heat of eastern Queensland is a particular hell that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. With the cold you can rig up and get cozy in bed. Heat saps energy and is near unavoidable. Also, the sun is too bright and it causes cancer. Give me cold, wet, foggy grey days. Days where I can snuggle in bed with a good book. I swear that when it’s hot, my mattress soaks up all my body heat and reflects it back at me twice as hot. Which is an issue given that I’m disabled and mostly bedbound. And then there’s that heat prickle on the back of your neck… Yeah. Heat sucks.
@@katiearbuckle9017 beach cricket is a particularly nice Christmas aesthetic, I reckon. Cold salads, seafood, cold meats Santa in board shorts on a surfboard, or throwing lollies to kids from the tray of a Landcruiser ute. Aussie Christmas is very much it’s own beast. Still not worth the heat though, and I’d love to experience a white Christmas at least once in my life.
I'm not entirely sure I've ever experienced a November before, I usually slip into a combination of seasonal depression and being busy with stuff that needs to be done before year end that prevents me from actually processing anything. The only thing that awakens me is the rage once I hear Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas.
@@beatm6948 I worked retail for a few years and can confirm I ended up really annoyed hearing All I Want for Christmas, because we started Christmas music in November. It’s been a few years now and I can enjoy it again.
the november fog in poland is what I can't get enough of right now also am I the only one who celebrates my own 'spooky season' literally from somewhere around the beggining of october all the way to march or whenever it starts to get warm again, because the long nights and short days make me feel like a vampire
You aren’t alone! My spooky season would be year round if I were allowed it. But, for me it’s definitely the same time frame because of the long nights. I get so sad when the winter solstice passes and the nights slowly get shorter and shorter. 😔 I love night time so much.
I am very passionate about November and am happy to see others that appreciate this month. It's way too overlooked and everyone just starts thinking it's "December-lite" but really it has it's own very unique little vibe.
“It made sense in the way of looking good”. Amen. Rock the Regency goth heroine look however you want. Who’s going to mess with a Regency goth heroine anyway?
My theory on November’s unpopularity is it’s because most of the people who would be taking the aesthetic walks are doing NaNoWriMo and are probably too exhausted to participate in the festivities
I'm skipping NaNoWriMo this year. It's kinda sad but it's also like taking a breath. It's that cliche of letting out "breath I didn't know I was holding." Except it's the breath after that. Ha ha!
@@TheBridget272 Totally understand that. {Love the image of "the breath after that."} Interestingly, most of the writers I know (including myself) are doing either a Skip or Cut Way Back kind of thing this NaNo. I hope your second breath replenishes you.
personally I hate fall, it makes me blandly sad. just a bit emptied out, but nothing distressing and nothing particularly glad. the middle of winter is frenzied and filled with highs and lows. maybe because that's when I stay inside and look out at the white world and then I get to writing.
Yes, let's DO stop pretending like November doesn't exist. It's a beautiful month, and it breaks my heart that more people don't see that. Thank you so much for this video!♡
Historical accuracy be damned, you smashed that look. You on the steps in the chilled autumn light, the breeze blowing the skirt, the pensive look on your face, should be the cover for a gothic novel. Chef's kiss.
I associated November with spooks rather than October because in the Philippines, November 1 is 'Undas' or All Saints Day. There's a palpable feeling of silence during the day when all the grown ups would go to visit the graves. My cousins and I were left at home and would sometimes hide under blankets while the older ones share scary stories (I still remember one about a reaper in a black robe that roamed at night with feet so sensitive, if they stepped on a childs haphazardly strewn outdoor slippers by the door because they didn't put it on the slippers rack properly, they would become so enraged, find out the owner's identity and would reap their head when theyre sleeping. The slippers rack was immaculately tidy for a whole week.). Then the fear is compounded by the late TV shows of scary folklore creatures, 'sightings', horror shows and movies etc. It was great.
I just realised that despite not being into sewing or designing fashion etc. My two favourite female TH-camrs are Karolina and Pixie (Pixielocks) and to me the things they have in common despite completely different styles: -FUNNY -strong whilst still being gentle -expressive, beautiful faces -interesting and friendly storytelling -unique and different from other TH-camrs. Doing their own thing.
I loved everything about this. I also love November -- and all other things just as gloomy. I just love mood. I love when there is ice all over everything, but not yet snow, and all the scratching and creaking gives way to tiny crystal bells. I love the crows, and I feed them all winter starting in November. And I love getting cozy next to the fire when the November gales howl beyond the window. And you're absolutely right: Bronte books ARE November in book form. Which is why I'm going to use up all my extra Audible credits on the books I haven't read yet. Thanks for the inspiration! 💜
As someone who adores both Halloween and Christmas, I absolutely love November. It's the perfect autumnal rest between holidays and lets you absorb the last days of autumn before winter takes over. While we're at it, I personally think January gets unduly dumped on too.
my bf lives in Armenia, and Armenian autumns especially in early October and September are basically - one day it's hot as a furnace (like 40+ degrees celsius), then the next day it dips to subzero. now, in November, it fluctuates between around 10-18 degrees during the day to subzero again during the night.
I love November! To me it's just like October, but instead of focusing on spooky things, I focus on cozy things. So, I decorate the house in lots of warm fall colors, throw some knit blankets on the couch, light dangerous amounts of candles, and keep pots of stews and soups going throughout the whole month. If a month could be that feeling when you wake up already late to class or work, and then you check your phone and find out class or work was cancelled that day, it would be November.
This dark, sheer gown and Karolina’s shortish hair gave made me imagine a goth merveilleuse. A shorter petticoat, a hair ribbon and a fancy shawl, and voila!
Thank you for this video. I feel like people start celebrating Christmas way too early and by the time it comes around, we don't feel the joy of it anymore. I always try to not get in the Christmas spirit before the 1st of December (and miserably fail every year :D)
I agree so much! November is such a special month. I just got married and specifically chose November. We started dating in a November, Plus my husband’s birthday is in November. It’s that nice quiet before the storm of the rest of the holidays and the new year… and for all the reasons you stated. Thank you for sticking up for it :) the dress is so lovely!
I've always loved November and I've always been a little bit annoyed at how people rush to Christmas before December begins. Not only does it mean that people are ignoring November, but it means that many people ignore the season of Advent too! Plus it causes Christmas fatigue and by the time December 25th comes around it feels like Christmas already passed weeks before. *edit:* For clarification as someome who lives in the U.S. it always feels a bit disorienting to see Christmas decorations and hear Christmas music before Thanksgiving (the holiday most associated with November here) has even passed. On top of that, many people are unaware that the 12 days of Christmas actually *begin* on December 25th and last until January 5th! Which is why I complained about people celebrating Christmas before December 25th even arrives.
Absolutely I wish Christmas was in January. The whole winter holiday thing is off by a month in my opinion. Not only does it railroad the beauty of autumn -(which actually lasts until December 21!) but then it leaves us with nothing afterwards-no real winter celebrations from January 2-March 22-which is when spring begins. So we go the whole winter bored! Christmas is placed at the end of fall yet we celebrate it like a winter holiday! This should be the next rant…
@@lindsaypelletier2294 Well if it helps, the traditional 12 days of Christmas are actually from December 25th to January 5th, which is followed by the Feast of Epiphany on January 6th (called Three Kings Days in some countries). And in some traditions, the Christmas season doesn't truly end until February 2nd, which is the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus, also known as Candlemas.
@@lindsaypelletier2294 100% absolutely agree with every phrase esp. the "railroad the beauty of autumn". And January and February need some serious help. Christmas could easily be 25 Jan. The Romans and pagans are the only reason it's 25 Dec anyway. Of course if we can't convince everyone to change it, we will just have to make the very most of Candlemas (Feb. 2)
Mine is too! It was on Tuesday! A lot of my close friends have November birthdays as well, so maybe it’s something about their zodiac sign Im drawn to.
My favorite things about November: -My dad's birthday -My brother's birthday -Thanksgiving -Nanowrimo -I still get some chances to walk around outdoors in sweaters without having to cover them up with a bulky winter coat -It's hot drink season but I'm also not mad that it's cold yet
November certainly is the best time for witchy gloomy walks. I typically have really bad seasonal depression but this year I'm finding a lot of beauty in crispness of the air, the soft tranquil light and the dull tones of the earth.
November is low-key one of my favorite months becauuuuussseee, it's the most gothic month. High collars, black and purple velvet, burgundy too, a heavy satin. And we can dry our herbs, drink tea, listen to Siouxsie Sue and the Banshees, Angel Olson, Florence and the Machine, and write poems by the window in the falling light, maybe read some Dickinson, some Plath....yessss. And window candles, and haunted pining!
Кarolina: walk in a dress in a park that still has greenery. Meanwhile, in Russia: the snow has already fallen in October, ice is everywhere, everyone wears down jackets
@@kiczcock same for the Netherlands...my dad has skated almost every winter on nature ice when he was young and could hope for a white Christmas. Not a chance now
@@kiczcock different parts of Russia have different weather) I also live in Russia (Moscow), and although we have some snow here, it melts the moment it touches ground, it's around 0 degrees now. I hope though, we would be blessed with a proper winter weather in December
@b phillip Scorpio! It's nice to hear that, I'm glad you can spend time with your family. In my country there is no snow, we only have winter and summer, and November is the time when it rains the most, wich makes me happy, as I found rain sounds relaxing, we also have a special holiday were we make dolls with bread and a special drink with berries, wich is based on a water flavored with medicinal herbs. For me, November is always awesome. 😀
Another November baby here! I grew up in Australia where November is VERY different (blooming jacaranda trees. . . ), but now live in Canada where I've had snow on my birthday every year since we moved. I mean, I party anyway in November, but this video has got me inspired to embrace the romantic grey foggy snowy viBeS.
I'm glad I finally find another November baby you don't get many of us in the world. Also where I live November is the month that almost every flowers starts blooming you get a very pretty street and gardens. Definitely an very peaceful and underrated month
I’ve never understood people liking the seasons. I grew up in the desert but live in the frigid northeastern U.S. now and the winter still feels like an all-out assault to me. so I spend November filled with dread about the coming cold lol.
I’ve always felt like November is a really important month here in North America. It’s always had a really potent frontier vibe to me. It has a lot to do with Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage month, but the whole month of November feels very nostalgic and reflective on the past, like way more so than any other time of year (I think having Halloween and All Souls Day and then all historical holidays right after has a big influence). I grew up in the North out in the country and I always loved November because we had a wood burning stove to heat the house during winter (with winter temperatures regularly below zero, or below 32 degrees Celsius). The loggers would drive their truck to our house and dump a HUGE pile of chopped wood in the driveway, and my grandpa and I would spend a couple hours stacking it against a wall in our garage. It was really peaceful, we wouldn’t even talk much, just stack the wood working side by side enjoying the autumn smell in the air. Whenever I played outside at this time of year I always felt like some pioneer kid romping around in the woods! A northerner would be wasted on a November without a good hayride, apple picking, hot apple cider, and cinnamon donuts! Thank you for drawing a attention to the lack of November appreciation though, it’s important to find the unique beauty of every time and part of Nature so we don’t risk taking them for granted 🤙✨
What lovely imagery your stories from your childhood evokes! And I agree -- as another North American resident, November has always felt like a time for contemplation for me.
Novembers are beautiful in the southern hemisphere! It's Spring now and in Sydney, Australia, we have so many beautiful trees flowering at this time, like purple Jacarandas, pink Bougainvillea and red Illawarra Flame Trees...it's also getting warmer by November and it's close to Christmas, so generally has a good vibe. Oh and it's my birthday so I like November haha
I feel like I'm rotting inside and when the whole world is drowning in darkness, I feel like whole existence is giving up. I hate this feeling, I can be depressed but everybody around have to be happy and the weather preferably early spring-like
It was nice seeing a sewing video again! Though I am not usually interested in sewing or fashion this channel is something else in luring people into things they didn't ever think they would enjoy.
Black Friday has become a thing in Australia...and goes for a week?? Always a ton of "black friday" or "black november" ads. Hooray for capitalism i guess :')
@@TD32333 yep, it has zero significance or reason to exist here, but they needed a capitalist Event in November to get people to buy things before christmas period arrives I guess. I'm fairly sure almost no one knows where it comes from here or why it's called that. Anyway I keep getting ads for it and it's driving me crazy.
I'm german and I agree. We seriously don't need that. If you've recently bought something that is now on discount: annoying feeling. But also I don't want to be pushed into buying something, just because it's on discount. For me these things don't need to exist. Just make a good price for a good product and I'm fine.
Both myself and my daughter were born in November, on top of that we have our wedding anniversary in November (on my daughter’s birthday btw, which also happens to be the national independence day in Poland) so i absolutely loooove and appreciate Novembers, they are special and festive to me, I love this gloomy atmosphere, it corresponds with the Scorpio vibe so well
I am currently finishing "Villette" and now I fell like I've been unknowingly celebrating November this whole time Thank you for aknowledging this lovely time of the year !
Here, November is probably the darkest month of the year. The night is already super long with only a few hours of daylight, but the snow hasn't yet started sticking around, so both the ground and the skies are just so, so dark. But on the other hand, just came back from a full moon walk by the lake and it was fantastic, with the temperature a slight bit below freezing all the grass and leaves and reeds were frosty and sparkly and with the lakeside being unlit, I could see the stars really well and the moon was SUPER bright :D Plus, the lake was already frozen over so it was very calm and beautiful! So the darkness isn't all bad and I do enjoy it, at least like, half the time :D
Sometimes I feel like we, from this modern era, can never truly appreciate the moon like our ancetors did, because the land has become unbearably bright, and the moon always shines so dimly, almost insignificant. But your poetic description makes me think that the stunning beauty is not lost afterall, at least in certain countries. Thank you.
I completely AGREE. Especially here in Virginia, the fall colours truly, come in. Also, Thanksgiving is my favorite of holidays. I love Christmas, and Winter Solstice, but I find Thanksgiving is all about family, it is all about gratitude and celebrating the abundance of fall. I know there are several other celebrations to celebrate fall earlier in the season, but this one, is a quiet, reflective month for me. A month to work on the things I love and to put forth my hopes for the seasonal creations.
As a person in the Southern Hemisphere, our November is also not appreciated enough! The last month of spring? Flowers? Sun showers? Amazing. But I'm also lusting after these gloomy November vibes. I also love your earrings you're wearing in the start/narration sections of the video 😍
i live in australia and i feel like people like summer so much, while i'm sad because i hate the heat and the humidity. i think april to july don't get enough love :(
Okay I have so many thoughts on this for some reason haha one I love your earrings throughout especially the ones in the talking bits, two your little animations really add so much interest to the process, three your jewelry friend is the real MVP!! As always I love your content, Happy November
I feel like November is just that stretch between Halloween and Christmas. Not really talked about or looked forward to. Let's all just chill in November.
I made a wedding dress for a friend, and made a matching shawl so she wouldn't get cold in the evening, and in order to get the beading, silk, and lining to lay correctly, I whipstitched the whole thing! I *FELT* that.
I LOVE November, too! National Novel Writing Month, Thanksgiving (in the US anyway), my husband's birthday, my birthday, leaves finally falling, the first snowshoe trip of the year ... What's not to love? That's a gorgeous dress!
I love November! I always do National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), so November is a time of writing and community for me. Glad to find another November lover :)
Thank you! OMG it's like everyone forgets there's a whole month of spring that deserves celebration between the European holidays (I'm in Australia). Also, love the inclusion of cute cat footage!
Halloween is not really European, is it? If that's what you're talking about. In Poland we have the dead's day which is very November in vibe, we go to cementeries in the night to light grave candles. Usually you go to visit your family's graves and the monument or graves of the unknown/unnamed solders who died defending the country. There was an older tradition of actually summoning the spirits, but it died out long ago, it's only in literature now. You're from the southern hemisphere, in which case you probably have even different traditions? Celebrations like those are often tied to seasons (fall - dying, spring - new beginnings, etc.). Or you mostly celebrate British/European ones (if you're a British/European descendant)? If European, which countries? (I probably should've learned history more, I don't remember who colonized Australia besides Great Britain).
That dress and you wearing it are so beautiful! Also all the sewing cam outfits were lovely. Easily one of the best channels on TH-cam, your comedic timing is *chefs kiss* 👌🏻
I live in a place where most Novembers bring bad wind and fire so I tend to also skip over it. This year has been surprisingly lovely with rain and fog and colors. Been watching it from my library's windows ❤
THANK YOU. My birthday is in november, so I love the month (also do to the climate), and it is SO SAD that just when October is over NOBODY CARES ABOUT NOVEMBER. It´s like it´s just a transition month between spooky, cool October and freakin December full of JOY and PRESENTS... But not anymore, YOU HEAR ME? NOT ANYMOREEEEEE, MAKE NOVEMBERS GREAT AGAAAAAAAAAAAAIN. Also, here in Mexico the Day of the Dead is in November, so it SHOULD BE MORE IMPORTANT AT LEAST HERE, BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
So wait there are Mexicans that go " FUCK YEAH, HALLOWEEN IS OVER TIME FOR FLIEZ NAVIDAD!!" And then literally the next day they are like " Fuck, Forgot I have to help the Family with Tamales, and make a Path for my Ancestors....Ugh!?!"
Hey, we NEVER forget the tamales. lol jk. Well, at least from the part of Mexico Im from, it is sadly like that. There are other states, however, that make The Day of the Death A HUGE celebration, just beautiful... But in mine, since we are so close to the United States, it´s kind of forgotten and replaced by CHRISTMASSSS. It´s so tiring seeing the stores go from skeletons and witches to reindeers and gnomes in the blink of an eye, UGHHHH
november used to get some time and appreciation but because halloween and christmas are soooo commercialized november is really kind of glanced over and ignored. also, in the us, thanksgiving happens IN november. which seems to be forgotten.
@@AirQuotes Not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving in November; in Canada we have Thanksgiving in October, and in other countries it isn't a tradition at all.
Your demand for quality while simultaneously disregarding convention and others’ opinions is why I love your video. And the gorgeous mood shots. And that necklace was soul grabbing. #vivanovember
November is a quiet mood. I really like that we (Czech Republic) have on 17th of November a really important national holiday. It makes November special and you have something to look forward to...
Karolina going on about people ignoring November: Me, a November baby and someone on tumblr: uhhh It's kinda funny because between birthdays and Thanksgiving and honestly not being around anyone who was very hyped about Christmas, November is a month that I was always aware of. But man that is a cool dress, for all the work it took to make.
@@rxttly5116 Yeah, that's true. Guess that kinda slips my mind - my dad usually insists on it, he's American, and I haven't been back home for a November in over a decade I think.
Thank you for giving November the respect it deserves! In America we only care about the end of November AKA Thanksgiving, and it seems like most of the month is wasted planning on that holiday and Christmas. No one takes the time for gloomy walks anymore. And that dress omg--you look like you stepped off the pages of Jane Eyre (which, btw, was correctly placed at #1!) ❤️❤️❤️
I so very much appreciate the fact that this video was in the 11 minute range, and focused on the 11th month of the year. 👌🏽
And I appreciate that you watch Karolina.
I’ll let you think it was my attention to detail 🥲
@ You crack me up! I’m Australian and it means you make me laugh in the best way.
I have to admit I am not a fan of November, here. It is stinking hot! My one November in the Northern hemisphere was the most delightful of my life! My first Thanksgiving & an extraordinary amount of Shakespeare.

I hate how rushed everyone is to get to winter after Halloween. I still want to enjoy the good fall vibes in November. I enjoy basking in the melancholy of late autumn.
“I enjoy basking in the melancholy of late autumn” us such a whimsical and beautiful quote.
Yes! And as soon as Christmas is done they complain about winter being too long. Like, guys, just appreciate the present, you are going so, so fast.
That’s because people rush autumn and bring the pumpkin at the end of august 😞
@@MirandaMilner yes yes yes I agree
Is it still fall? When does it end? I really love fall and it's actually my favourite season but I tend to not make the best of it and miss out each year stupidly enough. Early autumn is perfect for me but it passes me by before I even really think about it because I tend to dwell on finding peace and calm from the hectics of summer (😵) that always completely disrupt my equilibrium and unnerve me for far too long while later in autumn it has gotten thus cold that I find it hard to will myself to go out into nature even though I really should!
Karolina: I'm cold all the time, even in summer.
also Karolina: wearing a semi-transparent dress with a half-naked back and arms in November. OUTSIDE.
I had to put on an extra jumper just WATCHING her out there! That is dedication to the look, ma'am. Respect.
This is my husband as well. Walking around in shirts and sandals, talking about his cold it is!
Meanwhile, in Texas, it's too hot to wear pants.
In TX, it's usually too hot for pants.
in poland, too (i think)
There's two ends of historical sewing TH-camrs spectrum: the "l hand sewed the entire 17 century dress in time appropriate stitching techniques using pattern from that times" and Karolinas "I just layed this thing on the floor and kinda traced it and assumed some things and hadn't finished the insides because I hated it" and both end up looking amazing and I absolutely love it.
Both are probably historically correct as well
I thought automatically of Bernadette and Karolina and what's funny is they're friends
😂 I'm the second one
and both are important, because one preserve the knowledge and present it in very visual way and the other shows you it's ok to not be 100% perfect if you enjoy this hobby.
There's the 'technical and meticulous' method and the 'intuitive' method. Those are also the two kinds of chefs...
"Bronte books are November in a book form" - I live in Yorkshire, just a few miles from where they did, and I can confirm November lasts about 6 months here. You want grey skies? Howling wind? Dead leaves smacking you in the face? We've got more than you could ever need.
🤣
Better than three feet (one meter) of snow overnight, a 50F (10C) degree day where it all melts, and a 25F (-4C) night where it all freezes again, and then you have work in the morning and your boss can't seem to understand that EVERYTHING MIGHT AS WELL BE AN ICE RINK and you can't step foot out your door without landing on your butt on solid ice! Bitter? Me? Probably.
That is so cool to hear honestly. What's it like living near where the Brontë sisters did? I have always been such a huge fan of theirs.
And then there's the Great Lakes in November: *cue Gordon Lightfoot song about tragic shipwreck in yet another violent November storm*
Tbh, I love it.
You mean "moor" than she'll ever need
i hate how as soon as halloween ends people move STRAIGHT onto christmas
November is when I first get to break out my wool petticoats and knitted shawls.
A very good month.
I get that but I do NOT want the alternative to be to celebrating thanksgiving bc i do ñor like at all.
Christmas makes me happy so to get over Halloween being done I move straight to Christmas cheer lol
But I'm a maniac so you know...
I love Thanksgiving. I get to sit with my family and eat good food; I get to connect. I think about the food I eat and all of the hard work and pride that goes into making it.
@@IAmBuddythedecibwave
I like Thanksgiving too but it's not as special to me because my grandma is insane and makes huge meals every Sunday for the family lmao
"November is all about fog and crows and ravens and naked trees and long walks during which you imagine you are a romantic heroine in search of a better fate."
Me: goes outside, gets attacked by a magpie, then simultaneously melts and burns alive under the raging sun.
Ah, yes, November.
Isn’t it a bit late in the spring to still be getting Maggie attacks? They attack in September only where I am.
But I am very unhappy about the heat tho. Brisbane is not a good place to live if you’re like me, and prefer the coldest, wettest, greyest and foggiest weather. Toowoomba during winter is good for fog, but the people up there are awful (sorry, not sorry. The landscape is pretty and the weather is superior. Can’t have everything I guess). I hate the heat. I wish it could just be winter again. I need to move to Scotland or somewhere where it actually gets cold and rarely gets hot.
We are still having magpie attacks in wa. I think the birds are confused. . . or rightfully angry at humans.
Every Aussie summer I am forcefully reminded that I was born in Europe and my body is not made for this flipping country
@@katherinemorelle7115 finally another brisbaneite who thinks like me! i hate heat and summer, april to july is my favourite time of the year
Karolina: November is all about fog and naked trees
Me, someone from the southern hemisphere, watching the pretty spring flowers and birds: November is about whAT
LMAO SAME. I'm like "ah yes, typhoon season"
OH MY GOD KAROLINA LIKED MY COMMENT
Same! Love November in New Zealand. Still a bit cold, but it's coming up to Christmas and holidays! Much anticipation!
I live in California. For the past few weeks, the mornings have been misty and our afternoons have been in the high 80s. We defy seasons and months here.
Me, in the caribbean where seasons are nonexistent:
November is the embodiment of fall. Taylor Swift’s folklore aesthetic could not exist without November, I said what I said. Gothic literature/entertainment could not exist without November. The weather is also perfect because it can be cool or warm depending on the day. It sets the stage for cozy nights, listening to the rain fall as you read. November has rights!
Bro my November is covered in snow, those are late September to October vibes in these parts
@@sprigganpanda same. It’s not really that snowy in November, but it’s not as enjoyable as late semptember- mid to late October
@@tuesday1672 Nah my November winter is the full package winter deal, if you told me it was December rn I'd believe you. Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦

As a November birthday girl, who loves to imagine she is a dark heroine when she goes for a walk and HAS to live by the sea and imagines she is the mermaid in The Lighthouse lol NOVEMBERS FTW
Assuming your birthday this month has already passed, happy late birthday. If not, happy early birthday haha.
@@loganmcdonald568 it is in a number of days, the 30th! Thank you Logan :)
@@freyialilian You're very welcome. My sister, brother, and nephew all have birthdays in November too, so I guess you can say I never forget November haha.

@@freyialilian my birthday is also on the 30th ✨, November babies are funky people
November is when my mental health is always at it's worst. It's the anniversary of some really bad stuff and it suddenly gets dark really early. Seeing you and others in the comments point out the beautiful parts about November helps me see the good in the hardest part of the year.
I understand. It’s cold, starting to snow, and dark where I am. Seasonal depression hits. I can’t wake up in the dark. But it’s the month I start rebuilding my indoor jungle with fervor and sewing warm blankets.
I hope you have a system in place that allows for self care during this month. 🧡
Sending you peace and positivity ✌🏼 ✨
January is the worst. Anyway, I get myself an UVB Lamp, so whenever I feel the"darkness"creeping up in the corner of my room or her breath of my neck... I switch on the"sun"(!)
@@LillibitOfHere I have heard of SAD. It sounds awful. I had a student from Canada & she was so happy she didn’t suffer from it in Australia.
Fashion books tell you what most people would probably have worn, but a girl could easily have borrowed Aunt Agatha’s cameo necklace without telling her, and gone outdoors in a pretty dress, favorite boots and no pelisse to accidentally meet Mr. Handsome in the lane.
Hopefully Mr Handsome would lend her his great coat. Brrr!
@@sallycormier1383 yes, that was her plan!
This sounds like it's from a book
@@gsiya4023 l was thinking about Charlotte Collins in ”Pride and Prejudice.” ;)
I read somewhere that in Normandy in November people would build big fires and sit around and tell stories and enjoy listening to the storms outside. I feel like that is definitely a vibe.
that’s amazing
😭 i live in an appartment, i can't make fire inside 😭 me sad.
In the UK 5th of November is bonfire night and we make massive fires and set off fireworks, it's super fun!
In some parts of Germany it's also commen to celebrate "Sankt Martin", where children show their handcrafted lanterns and the whole village meets at a bonfire. Usually accompanied with music, singing, and spiced wine, while the children get "Weckmänner" (bread) and hot chocolate. It's always a really nice evening.
November is the most disagreeable month in the whole year," said Margaret, standing at the window one dull afternoon, looking out at the frostbitten garden.
"That's the reason I was born in it," observed Jo pensively, quite unconscious of the blot on her nose.
@lenapupxafe It's a quote from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
As a November baby I wish to personally thank you for not just aknowledging November but doing so in a positive way. (Flashback to reading Meg's opinion of November in Little Women as a child)
Omg I remember that! November was like when things got really bad for the March family. It certainly altered my appreciation for this month XD
Okay, who doesn’t find entertainment in just watching Karolina walk around doing absolutely nothing but looking amazing
November is my birth month and I personally appreciate the pro-November campaign you have going. Some people complain that it's like if Thursday was a month long? I... like Thursday? It's the day where you give up on your grand ideas from Monday and just focus on wrapping up your business, without the expectation of fun for Friday. A breather before you are supposed to be sociable again, if u will
Thursday is my favorite day! I remember reading a Steinbeck book a while ago that dwelled a lot on Thursdays being the best days of the week XD it's called Sweet Thursday
That's the best description of a Thursday that I've ever heard!
Well, I was born on a Thursday in November, so there's that.
If anything, I'd say Tuesday is pretty boring imo. But it's relaxing, so I don't mind.
Thursday is my favorite day of the week. It's next to Friday and my favorite TV programs were on Thursday. Now it's our day off of work. So yay for Thursday.
I've always thought November is the saturday of the year: you can plan it as you wish without having to attend any mandatory event, and the feeling of anxiety that comes with the New Year is still far away.
I always thought Novembers are like tuesdays
@Nadine this one hit home xdd
Hah! Perfect analogy :)
November are also usually the hardest time in school. At least in my experience
Me, an American with a toxic family...
We have Thanksgiving here where we're supposed to be grateful for things but people are obsessed with consumerism now so now it's just eating with toxic family and raising hell at stores.
As a November born person, I always loved this month, where the autumn colour fades into bare, dramatic trees and foggy cold skies. I love the wind and the crows and the coming darkness outdoors, contrasted with the warm fires and cozy autumn atmosphere indoors.
Same!!!! It keeps getting swallowed up by Christmas and it's outlandish bright colors. Let November be. I need the gloom for a minute.
I will write that in a birthday card
“But because I didn’t want to, I did not.”
Words to live by. Thank you for your wisdom 🙏🥰😁
I plan to live by this until the day that I die and idc what anyone says.
November is a month of death, when the veil thins and several holy and commemorative days occur. Perhaps we tend to skip over it because we aren't comfortable being present with the moody, liminal space it offers.
Everything is dying and going into hibernation.
Silly, personal note: I was born in November. I am a Scorpio; I read somewhere that the specific date and time of my birth means that I'm one of "the most Scorpio Scorpios to ever exist." In numerology, I am a 4, which is considered unlucky by the Japanese due to the fact that it sounds like "death" when spoken aloud. Every. Single. Astrology-like system, when I input my info, comes back with 'DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH REBIRTH DEATH DEATH DEATH.' It used to bother me, but now I just laugh. I haven't died yet. (I know that's not the point; I like making stupid jokes.)
Noirvember- the challenge where you have to watch as many noir films as possible during the month- really made me value this month more tbh!
Yess, noir films fit the November aura so well!
Even though I know you’ve said you don’t love posting sewing content cos you feel like you’re going to be judged by other sewing people, I love it when you post sewing content. It feels really real and normal and I enjoy it a lot
I agree! I love it too.
I agree. Makes me feel not so bad about my sewing
Same!
I don’t sew, but watching others sew or embroider or what have you is honestly so relaxing.
As someone who's born in November and adores November, I really appreciate this video.
Also that dress is ✨gorgeous✨
I love how Karolina's new profession is to promote individual months by dressing up accordingly 👌
Recently took a walk in the forest and while it wasn't as colourful as in october, it was so beautiful and sombre. November is definitely underrated
It’s the best. Even in Houston and MS/TN where we don’t get proper seasons or pretty orange 🍁, we still have tiny periods of time of barren trees, crunchy forest leaves, and breezes / stagnant cold just cool enough to give you that somber but somehow cathartic energy. Thankful for having that at least a little lol
Yess it s like this month doesnt even exist, even if the november vibes are some of the best!
They are!! Love November atmosphere 😍!
Fun fact: november its the most famous month in my country (+my bday is in november)
Brontë heroine that has just been for a walk is literally the look I try to achieve when I do my makeup in the autumn
Also: I appreciate the bonus kitty footage
"Bronte books are November but in book form" I never thought about that specifically, but you are correct. Like, once you said that something clicked in my brain and now it's just an immutable truth of the universe. Thank you for this insight haha.
Also, all the aesthetic shots of your at your desk?? I'm living 👌😩
Pani Żebrowska: "November is cool"
Me, trembling outside for hours: "it is, indeed"
You made me laugh out loud.
Karolina: describing a beautiful, dark, grey, cold and foggy time of year (which is all my favourite)
Me: cries in Australian.
It’s hot today. It’s only 8am and it’s already hot. Someone save me and take me to a northern hemisphere country. I want the cold and grey dammit! I hate the heat. Brisbane is not the best place for me to live.
I agree with all of this! WA is so. fing. hot. and everyone keeps talking about the heat and sun as if it's wonderful. Even the weather reporters are bigoted against cool days. ugh.
Honestly, kinda excited for that new Hallmark Christmas Movie, about Australia. I want a bit a change of pace in my Christmas Movies. Cause it's either Snow, New York, or Southern California. And I am like " Can we just have a different Aesthetic PLEASE!!"
@@maleahlock I just don’t get it. Heat is awful. The humid heat of eastern Queensland is a particular hell that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. With the cold you can rig up and get cozy in bed. Heat saps energy and is near unavoidable. Also, the sun is too bright and it causes cancer.
Give me cold, wet, foggy grey days. Days where I can snuggle in bed with a good book. I swear that when it’s hot, my mattress soaks up all my body heat and reflects it back at me twice as hot. Which is an issue given that I’m disabled and mostly bedbound. And then there’s that heat prickle on the back of your neck…
Yeah. Heat sucks.
@@katiearbuckle9017 beach cricket is a particularly nice Christmas aesthetic, I reckon. Cold salads, seafood, cold meats Santa in board shorts on a surfboard, or throwing lollies to kids from the tray of a Landcruiser ute.
Aussie Christmas is very much it’s own beast. Still not worth the heat though, and I’d love to experience a white Christmas at least once in my life.
Ahh and I'm here in dark, gloomy Poland dreaming of the sunshine and heat...life's not fair :D
I'm not entirely sure I've ever experienced a November before, I usually slip into a combination of seasonal depression and being busy with stuff that needs to be done before year end that prevents me from actually processing anything. The only thing that awakens me is the rage once I hear Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas.
Oh that rage is nothing compared to the rage of hearing Last Christmas by Wham!
All i experience is joy from that song. If I worked in retail I'm sure my feelings would be different
@@beatm6948 I worked retail for a few years and can confirm I ended up really annoyed hearing All I Want for Christmas, because we started Christmas music in November. It’s been a few years now and I can enjoy it again.
the november fog in poland is what I can't get enough of right now
also am I the only one who celebrates my own 'spooky season' literally from somewhere around the beggining of october all the way to march or whenever it starts to get warm again, because the long nights and short days make me feel like a vampire
same here darling ;)
Nope, I do it too! Happy extended spooky season :)
It actually makes a lot of sense.
You aren’t alone! My spooky season would be year round if I were allowed it. But, for me it’s definitely the same time frame because of the long nights. I get so sad when the winter solstice passes and the nights slowly get shorter and shorter. 😔 I love night time so much.
Yeah, i love to feel like i could be character in buffy or blood ties because is night at 18 already. XD
I am very passionate about November and am happy to see others that appreciate this month. It's way too overlooked and everyone just starts thinking it's "December-lite" but really it has it's own very unique little vibe.
“It made sense in the way of looking good”. Amen. Rock the Regency goth heroine look however you want. Who’s going to mess with a Regency goth heroine anyway?
Yes, the Bronte novels are absolutely November in literary form!
Preach 🙌
This is accurate.
My theory on November’s unpopularity is it’s because most of the people who would be taking the aesthetic walks are doing NaNoWriMo and are probably too exhausted to participate in the festivities
Hehe. :)
As a matter of fact --. And how ironic that the whole November walks is just the vibe writers need, and yet, here we are NaNo-iing our brains out.
I'm skipping NaNoWriMo this year. It's kinda sad but it's also like taking a breath. It's that cliche of letting out "breath I didn't know I was holding." Except it's the breath after that. Ha ha!
@@TheBridget272 Totally understand that. {Love the image of "the breath after that."} Interestingly, most of the writers I know (including myself) are doing either a Skip or Cut Way Back kind of thing this NaNo. I hope your second breath replenishes you.
personally I hate fall, it makes me blandly sad. just a bit emptied out, but nothing distressing and nothing particularly glad. the middle of winter is frenzied and filled with highs and lows. maybe because that's when I stay inside and look out at the white world and then I get to writing.
how can i not love Karolina's videos for:
a) stunning look
b) awfully cosy workplace
and most improtantly c) kitty content
Yesssss Tenant of Wildfell Hall is so underrated! Top tier November book. Totally agree that the November erasure has gone too far.
Yes, let's DO stop pretending like November doesn't exist. It's a beautiful month, and it breaks my heart that more people don't see that. Thank you so much for this video!♡
i appreciate it. it's the month I was born on :D

Yes! People are so quick to skip over November. I am so glad to give it some love.
Historical accuracy be damned, you smashed that look. You on the steps in the chilled autumn light, the breeze blowing the skirt, the pensive look on your face, should be the cover for a gothic novel. Chef's kiss.
I associated November with spooks rather than October because in the Philippines, November 1 is 'Undas' or All Saints Day. There's a palpable feeling of silence during the day when all the grown ups would go to visit the graves. My cousins and I were left at home and would sometimes hide under blankets while the older ones share scary stories (I still remember one about a reaper in a black robe that roamed at night with feet so sensitive, if they stepped on a childs haphazardly strewn outdoor slippers by the door because they didn't put it on the slippers rack properly, they would become so enraged, find out the owner's identity and would reap their head when theyre sleeping. The slippers rack was immaculately tidy for a whole week.). Then the fear is compounded by the late TV shows of scary folklore creatures, 'sightings', horror shows and movies etc. It was great.
I just realised that despite not being into sewing or designing fashion etc. My two favourite female TH-camrs are Karolina and Pixie (Pixielocks) and to me the things they have in common despite completely different styles:
-FUNNY
-strong whilst still being gentle
-expressive, beautiful faces
-interesting and friendly storytelling
-unique and different from other TH-camrs. Doing their own thing.
My southern hemisphere November is rainy and humid, so I will live vicariously through your romantic autumn vibes
november is a great month, people need to stop skipping it
I loved everything about this. I also love November -- and all other things just as gloomy. I just love mood. I love when there is ice all over everything, but not yet snow, and all the scratching and creaking gives way to tiny crystal bells. I love the crows, and I feed them all winter starting in November. And I love getting cozy next to the fire when the November gales howl beyond the window. And you're absolutely right: Bronte books ARE November in book form. Which is why I'm going to use up all my extra Audible credits on the books I haven't read yet. Thanks for the inspiration! 💜
As someone who adores both Halloween and Christmas, I absolutely love November. It's the perfect autumnal rest between holidays and lets you absorb the last days of autumn before winter takes over. While we're at it, I personally think January gets unduly dumped on too.
how can i forget november with its constant weather changes, one day it's 70 degrees the next it's freezing
OMG YES. Yesterday it was 70 degrees, today it’s 30.
my bf lives in Armenia, and Armenian autumns especially in early October and September are basically - one day it's hot as a furnace (like 40+ degrees celsius), then the next day it dips to subzero.
now, in November, it fluctuates between around 10-18 degrees during the day to subzero again during the night.
I love November! To me it's just like October, but instead of focusing on spooky things, I focus on cozy things. So, I decorate the house in lots of warm fall colors, throw some knit blankets on the couch, light dangerous amounts of candles, and keep pots of stews and soups going throughout the whole month. If a month could be that feeling when you wake up already late to class or work, and then you check your phone and find out class or work was cancelled that day, it would be November.
This dark, sheer gown and Karolina’s shortish hair gave made me imagine a goth merveilleuse. A shorter petticoat, a hair ribbon and a fancy shawl, and voila!
Thank you for this video. I feel like people start celebrating Christmas way too early and by the time it comes around, we don't feel the joy of it anymore. I always try to not get in the Christmas spirit before the 1st of December (and miserably fail every year :D)
I agree so much! November is such a special month. I just got married and specifically chose November. We started dating in a November, Plus my husband’s birthday is in November. It’s that nice quiet before the storm of the rest of the holidays and the new year… and for all the reasons you stated. Thank you for sticking up for it :) the dress is so lovely!
Same here, except with October! Never been a big Halloween fan so now it's a very special month.
@@shadowprovesunshine did you fall in love in october? Is that why you love fall? Admiring from afar?
I've always loved November and I've always been a little bit annoyed at how people rush to Christmas before December begins. Not only does it mean that people are ignoring November, but it means that many people ignore the season of Advent too! Plus it causes Christmas fatigue and by the time December 25th comes around it feels like Christmas already passed weeks before.
*edit:* For clarification as someome who lives in the U.S. it always feels a bit disorienting to see Christmas decorations and hear Christmas music before Thanksgiving (the holiday most associated with November here) has even passed. On top of that, many people are unaware that the 12 days of Christmas actually *begin* on December 25th and last until January 5th! Which is why I complained about people celebrating Christmas before December 25th even arrives.
Absolutely
I wish Christmas was in January. The whole winter holiday thing is off by a month in my opinion. Not only does it railroad the beauty of autumn -(which actually lasts until December 21!) but then it leaves us with nothing afterwards-no real winter celebrations from January 2-March 22-which is when spring begins. So we go the whole winter bored! Christmas is placed at the end of fall yet we celebrate it like a winter holiday! This should be the next rant…
@@lindsaypelletier2294 Well if it helps, the traditional 12 days of Christmas are actually from December 25th to January 5th, which is followed by the Feast of Epiphany on January 6th (called Three Kings Days in some countries). And in some traditions, the Christmas season doesn't truly end until February 2nd, which is the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus, also known as Candlemas.
@@lindsaypelletier2294 100% absolutely agree with every phrase esp. the "railroad the beauty of autumn". And January and February need some serious help.
Christmas could easily be 25 Jan. The Romans and pagans are the only reason it's 25 Dec anyway.
Of course if we can't convince everyone to change it, we will just have to make the very most of Candlemas (Feb. 2)

-My brother's birthday
-Thanksgiving
-Nanowrimo
-I still get some chances to walk around outdoors in sweaters without having to cover them up with a bulky winter coat
-It's hot drink season but I'm also not mad that it's cold yet
yass nanowrimo
November is the year's hidden gem. Such a lovely tribute to one of my favorite months
November certainly is the best time for witchy gloomy walks. I typically have really bad seasonal depression but this year I'm finding a lot of beauty in crispness of the air, the soft tranquil light and the dull tones of the earth.
November is low-key one of my favorite months becauuuuussseee, it's the most gothic month. High collars, black and purple velvet, burgundy too, a heavy satin. And we can dry our herbs, drink tea, listen to Siouxsie Sue and the Banshees, Angel Olson, Florence and the Machine, and write poems by the window in the falling light, maybe read some Dickinson, some Plath....yessss. And window candles, and haunted pining!
Кarolina: walk in a dress in a park that still has greenery.

@@kiczcock different parts of Russia have different weather) I also live in Russia (Moscow), and although we have some snow here, it melts the moment it touches ground, it's around 0 degrees now. I hope though, we would be blessed with a proper winter weather in December
As someone who was born in November, I feel representated
@b phillip Scorpio! It's nice to hear that, I'm glad you can spend time with your family. In my country there is no snow, we only have winter and summer, and November is the time when it rains the most, wich makes me happy, as I found rain sounds relaxing, we also have a special holiday were we make dolls with bread and a special drink with berries, wich is based on a water flavored with medicinal herbs.
For me, November is always awesome. 😀
Scorpios rule ❤️
Another November baby here! I grew up in Australia where November is VERY different (blooming jacaranda trees. . . ), but now live in Canada where I've had snow on my birthday every year since we moved.
I mean, I party anyway in November, but this video has got me inspired to embrace the romantic grey foggy snowy viBeS.
I'm glad I finally find another November baby you don't get many of us in the world. Also where I live November is the month that almost every flowers starts blooming you get a very pretty street and gardens. Definitely an very peaceful and underrated month
I’ve never understood people liking the seasons. I grew up in the desert but live in the frigid northeastern U.S. now and the winter still feels like an all-out assault to me. so I spend November filled with dread about the coming cold lol.
I have a passionate love november, it has it all, almost mournful beauty combined with warm autumn colors, and perfect fall weather!
November is a beautiful month, it’s late Autumn the leaves are still so colourful and the air is getting so crisp and cool. What’s not to love!
Complains about how dark November gets
Catches self
Hypes November
I blame the added darkness on stupid daylight savings. It's not November's fault.
I’ve always felt like November is a really important month here in North America. It’s always had a really potent frontier vibe to me. It has a lot to do with Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage month, but the whole month of November feels very nostalgic and reflective on the past, like way more so than any other time of year (I think having Halloween and All Souls Day and then all historical holidays right after has a big influence). I grew up in the North out in the country and I always loved November because we had a wood burning stove to heat the house during winter (with winter temperatures regularly below zero, or below 32 degrees Celsius). The loggers would drive their truck to our house and dump a HUGE pile of chopped wood in the driveway, and my grandpa and I would spend a couple hours stacking it against a wall in our garage. It was really peaceful, we wouldn’t even talk much, just stack the wood working side by side enjoying the autumn smell in the air. Whenever I played outside at this time of year I always felt like some pioneer kid romping around in the woods! A northerner would be wasted on a November without a good hayride, apple picking, hot apple cider, and cinnamon donuts! Thank you for drawing a attention to the lack of November appreciation though, it’s important to find the unique beauty of every time and part of Nature so we don’t risk taking them for granted 🤙✨
What lovely imagery your stories from your childhood evokes! And I agree -- as another North American resident, November has always felt like a time for contemplation for me.
Novembers are beautiful in the southern hemisphere! It's Spring now and in Sydney, Australia, we have so many beautiful trees flowering at this time, like purple Jacarandas, pink Bougainvillea and red Illawarra Flame Trees...it's also getting warmer by November and it's close to Christmas, so generally has a good vibe. Oh and it's my birthday so I like November haha
I feel like I'm rotting inside and when the whole world is drowning in darkness, I feel like whole existence is giving up. I hate this feeling, I can be depressed but everybody around have to be happy and the weather preferably early spring-like
It was nice seeing a sewing video again! Though I am not usually interested in sewing or fashion this channel is something else in luring people into things they didn't ever think they would enjoy.
The fact that amazon and their ilk are trying SO hard to make black friday a thing in europe is driving me so mad. Anyway, a+ dress
It is already a thing here in Sweden... And black week, never heard about it for some Years Ago. And singles week and stuff... So sick and tired
Black Friday has become a thing in Australia...and goes for a week?? Always a ton of "black friday" or "black november" ads. Hooray for capitalism i guess :')
I think it's bizarre to push Black Friday on other countries. Black Friday exists because so many people have the day after Thanksgiving off work.
@@TD32333 yep, it has zero significance or reason to exist here, but they needed a capitalist Event in November to get people to buy things before christmas period arrives I guess. I'm fairly sure almost no one knows where it comes from here or why it's called that. Anyway I keep getting ads for it and it's driving me crazy.
I'm german and I agree. We seriously don't need that. If you've recently bought something that is now on discount: annoying feeling. But also I don't want to be pushed into buying something, just because it's on discount. For me these things don't need to exist. Just make a good price for a good product and I'm fine.
Both myself and my daughter were born in November, on top of that we have our wedding anniversary in November (on my daughter’s birthday btw, which also happens to be the national independence day in Poland) so i absolutely loooove and appreciate Novembers, they are special and festive to me, I love this gloomy atmosphere, it corresponds with the Scorpio vibe so well
I am currently finishing "Villette" and now I fell like I've been unknowingly celebrating November this whole time Thank you for aknowledging this lovely time of the year !
Here, November is probably the darkest month of the year. The night is already super long with only a few hours of daylight, but the snow hasn't yet started sticking around, so both the ground and the skies are just so, so dark. But on the other hand, just came back from a full moon walk by the lake and it was fantastic, with the temperature a slight bit below freezing all the grass and leaves and reeds were frosty and sparkly and with the lakeside being unlit, I could see the stars really well and the moon was SUPER bright :D Plus, the lake was already frozen over so it was very calm and beautiful! So the darkness isn't all bad and I do enjoy it, at least like, half the time :D
Sometimes I feel like we, from this modern era, can never truly appreciate the moon like our ancetors did, because the land has become unbearably bright, and the moon always shines so dimly, almost insignificant. But your poetic description makes me think that the stunning beauty is not lost afterall, at least in certain countries. Thank you.
to be honest, i was feeling a little down but karolina uploading made me feel better : (( im thankful
THANK YOU! I love Novembers more than Octobers or Decembers!
I completely AGREE. Especially here in Virginia, the fall colours truly, come in. Also, Thanksgiving is my favorite of holidays. I love Christmas, and Winter Solstice, but I find Thanksgiving is all about family, it is all about gratitude and celebrating the abundance of fall. I know there are several other celebrations to celebrate fall earlier in the season, but this one, is a quiet, reflective month for me. A month to work on the things I love and to put forth my hopes for the seasonal creations.
As a person in the Southern Hemisphere, our November is also not appreciated enough! The last month of spring? Flowers? Sun showers? Amazing. But I'm also lusting after these gloomy November vibes.
I also love your earrings you're wearing in the start/narration sections of the video 😍
i live in australia and i feel like people like summer so much, while i'm sad because i hate the heat and the humidity. i think april to july don't get enough love :(
Okay I have so many thoughts on this for some reason haha one I love your earrings throughout especially the ones in the talking bits, two your little animations really add so much interest to the process, three your jewelry friend is the real MVP!! As always I love your content, Happy November
The animations tho!!
I feel like November is just that stretch between Halloween and Christmas. Not really talked about or looked forward to. Let's all just chill in November.
My family that have 3 birthdays at the beginning, middle, and end of November: *there shall be no ignoring*
The necklace was stunning with your dress. I also loved the music you used. Well done!
I made a wedding dress for a friend, and made a matching shawl so she wouldn't get cold in the evening, and in order to get the beading, silk, and lining to lay correctly, I whipstitched the whole thing! I *FELT* that.
I LOVE November, too! National Novel Writing Month, Thanksgiving (in the US anyway), my husband's birthday, my birthday, leaves finally falling, the first snowshoe trip of the year ... What's not to love? That's a gorgeous dress!
I love November! I always do National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), so November is a time of writing and community for me. Glad to find another November lover :)
Thank you! OMG it's like everyone forgets there's a whole month of spring that deserves celebration between the European holidays (I'm in Australia). Also, love the inclusion of cute cat footage!
Halloween is not really European, is it? If that's what you're talking about. In Poland we have the dead's day which is very November in vibe, we go to cementeries in the night to light grave candles. Usually you go to visit your family's graves and the monument or graves of the unknown/unnamed solders who died defending the country.
There was an older tradition of actually summoning the spirits, but it died out long ago, it's only in literature now.
You're from the southern hemisphere, in which case you probably have even different traditions? Celebrations like those are often tied to seasons (fall - dying, spring - new beginnings, etc.). Or you mostly celebrate British/European ones (if you're a British/European descendant)? If European, which countries? (I probably should've learned history more, I don't remember who colonized Australia besides Great Britain).
That dress and you wearing it are so beautiful! Also all the sewing cam outfits were lovely. Easily one of the best channels on TH-cam, your comedic timing is *chefs kiss* 👌🏻
I live in a place where most Novembers bring bad wind and fire so I tend to also skip over it. This year has been surprisingly lovely with rain and fog and colors. Been watching it from my library's windows ❤
THANK YOU. My birthday is in november, so I love the month (also do to the climate), and it is SO SAD that just when October is over NOBODY CARES ABOUT NOVEMBER. It´s like it´s just a transition month between spooky, cool October and freakin December full of JOY and PRESENTS... But not anymore, YOU HEAR ME? NOT ANYMOREEEEEE, MAKE NOVEMBERS GREAT AGAAAAAAAAAAAAIN.
Also, here in Mexico the Day of the Dead is in November, so it SHOULD BE MORE IMPORTANT AT LEAST HERE, BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
i'm a hindu and a hindu holiday, diwali, was in november this year
This. I feel seen at last! It's so sad, why can't people just calm down? I am not born in Winter! No No No
So wait there are Mexicans that go " FUCK YEAH, HALLOWEEN IS OVER TIME FOR FLIEZ NAVIDAD!!" And then literally the next day they are like " Fuck, Forgot I have to help the Family with Tamales, and make a Path for my Ancestors....Ugh!?!"
Hey, we NEVER forget the tamales. lol jk. Well, at least from the part of Mexico Im from, it is sadly like that. There are other states, however, that make The Day of the Death A HUGE celebration, just beautiful... But in mine, since we are so close to the United States, it´s kind of forgotten and replaced by CHRISTMASSSS. It´s so tiring seeing the stores go from skeletons and witches to reindeers and gnomes in the blink of an eye, UGHHHH
Ok but like your cinematography is on point 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The muted colors are 👌🏻
Its not november's fault that its inbetween 2 of the largest seasonal holidays there are tho
november used to get some time and appreciation but because halloween and christmas are soooo commercialized november is really kind of glanced over and ignored. also, in the us, thanksgiving happens IN november. which seems to be forgotten.
You mean 3 you can't forget Thanksgiving which is the superior holiday and that's in November
Lol Halloween isn't the second biggest holiday, at least not anywhere outside of America
@@AirQuotes Not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving in November; in Canada we have Thanksgiving in October, and in other countries it isn't a tradition at all.
@@AirQuotes Well it's US thing as far as I know.
Your demand for quality while simultaneously disregarding convention and others’ opinions is why I love your video. And the gorgeous mood shots. And that necklace was soul grabbing. #vivanovember
November is a quiet mood. I really like that we (Czech Republic) have on 17th of November a really important national holiday. It makes November special and you have something to look forward to...
Karolina said, "November rights!" 👏🥳🥂
Love this, but for me, in the southern hemisphere, November is spring. It's about flowers and warmth and I adore it
Karolina going on about people ignoring November:
Me, a November baby and someone on tumblr: uhhh
It's kinda funny because between birthdays and Thanksgiving and honestly not being around anyone who was very hyped about Christmas, November is a month that I was always aware of.
But man that is a cool dress, for all the work it took to make.
yeah, but in poland we dont celebrate thanksgiving so its not a special month, really
@@rxttly5116 Yeah, that's true. Guess that kinda slips my mind - my dad usually insists on it, he's American, and I haven't been back home for a November in over a decade I think.
I as a November baby applaud this November encomium!! Spoken like a true autumn lover!!!
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS. I always get a bit annoyed when people get festive at the first of November, like hello?? It's still November?? 😭🙏
Thank you for giving November the respect it deserves! In America we only care about the end of November AKA Thanksgiving, and it seems like most of the month is wasted planning on that holiday and Christmas. No one takes the time for gloomy walks anymore. And that dress omg--you look like you stepped off the pages of Jane Eyre (which, btw, was correctly placed at #1!) ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad you put Wildfell Hall on your list, it's my favourite Brönte book and so underrated! Helen Huntingdon is a fascinating character!
Probably my favorite Brontë book!
