The start of a new month is a blank page. What do I want to write across this month? What do I want chapter 10 of 12 feel like? If you’re game, take out a scrap of paper and jot down whatever comes to mind first. Could be small and specific; could be foggy and expansive. Below, auspiciously setting the tone for my month after a particularly hectic September, and remembering that I am responsible for what I invite into my own life, my own calendar, my own diet (more than just what we eat – what we read, watch, etc!). I’m welcoming a warm, huddled feeling:
October Energy
+settling in
+chilly morning walks in Landon’s sweatshirt
+”warm me up”
+sharing a blanket with my children
+turning in early to read
+juicy red wine
+sleeping with the windows open so I need to burrow into my bedding at daybreak
+”come sit and chat”
+the golden stretch before true cold descends
+an invitation to draw inward
+”aren’t we lucky?”
Post-Scripts.
+What are we most looking forward to this fall?
+A poem that gives me the best feeling.
Shopping Break.
+The coin necklace I am wearing constantly is 20% off! I absolutely adore mine — great layering piece, and there are multiple sweet motifs available. I have the “courage” one and wear it like a talisman! They also have a petite size if you’re worried about the original being too bold. A great gift for a sister, mother, best friend, etc.
+These classic jeans come in such great colors, and are (at time of writing this), 50% off!
+I do not need another Negative set…but…I loveeee my favorite whipped track pants and henley in the new espresso color! The material is absolutely divine. Go up a size in the pants. (I also own and love this waffle knit henley pullover in the pale pink but it’s SO good in the espresso, too. This is a great piece to wear over a leggings/tank set during this season.
+Was just reminded of how much I love this face mask over the weekend. It tightens and brightens and feels like you’re doing a cold plunge for the face — so reinvigorating! A few other Clarins products I’m obsessed with: this tonic oil, which I swore by while pregnant, this serum (which I alternate with Vintner’s Daughter — both are fantastic all-around everyday serums that hydrate and nourish the skin), and THE GOAT: this award-winning depuffing mask. I always, always, always have a back up jar of this stuff; I’ll buy when on sale. It is the most effective mask if you’re feeling puffy!
+Very chic little black dressy top. Pair with big jewelry!
+Sezane x New Balance. Love the colors in those sneaks! And still drooling over this cardigan jacket.
+Everlane has some great new arrivals: smartly tailored cords, cozy ribbed henleys, duffle coats!
+A classic cableknit.
+Another great turtleneck dress — the rich pattern…!
+Cutest dress for a little lady.
+I’m obsessed with this cocktail dress.
