“October is the opal month of the year. It is the month of glory, of ripeness. It is the picture-month.” -Henry Ward Beecher
I love that phrase — “October, picture month.” It really does show off, doesn’t it?
And a few other things that feel like October —
fall romances — light on plot, heavy on trope
flushed cheeks (fake it with this)
throw blankets – these are the best (we just got a second one because we always fought over who got this! and the brand just sent me a code: JEN15 for 15% off!)
the Dutch oven living on the stove
seasonal scents like this and this
stocking up on warm spices for fall baking
a tote bag full of library books
first chance to wear a wool coat (upgrade pick: Jenni Kayne) and cashmere scarf (look for less: Quince)
dudley stephens fleece turtlenecks (25% off with JENNIFER25)
shoes in suede and more suede

I also wanted to mention that a) Everlane is offering 25% off through Sunday — my top picks here! I love the look of these cord utility barrel pants; and b) Target’s Deal Days are underway and I found multiple seriously chic things to contemplate, starting with these brown jeans, which are a great look for less for my Veronica Beard Taylors (but only $20!). Also, my favorite inexpensive bed sheets are included in the sale — these are SO GOOD. I bought them as “back ups” for our primary bedroom, and now I just alternate liberally with sets that are 5-6x as expensive! Not included in the promo, but this ecru canvas tote reminded me so much of the ones from Rue De Verneuil.
