“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 —

my favorite striped sweater

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

low lighting by lamp only

house slippers

soft knit everything

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)

woodland spice hand soap

dudley stephens fleece turtlenecks (25% off with JENNIFER25)

f. scott fitzgerald

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.
