the calendar may say summer, but my spirit says it’s already fall. my mental forecast? crisp mornings, warm drinks, and mood boards layered with rust tones and soft textures. lately, i’ve been in full autumn mode, curating books to curl up with, shows that match the cozy vibe, and seasonal finds i’ve either added to my cart… or already checked out 👀.
consider this my imaginary fall starter pack perfect whether you’re chasing that first-chill feeling or just looking for an excuse to light a pumpkin-cinnamon candle in August.
📚 READING
lately i’ve been reaching for books that are mysterious, emotional, and best enjoyed under a blanket.
current pick: The Final Hunt by Audrey J. Cole - it’s giving a storm is coming and so is the truth.
also on my list: She Didn’t See it Coming by Shari Lapena, A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna, and something spooky for later nights.
📺 WATCHING
i’ve entered my “let’s romanticize everything” era, so i’m watching shows and movies with beautiful scenery, moody soundtracks, and just enough drama.
current obsession: The Closer
also queued up: a rewatch of a fall classic, probably You’ve Got Mail or Practical Magic.
🛍️ SHOPPING
fall fashion is undefeated. i’ve been drawn to layered textures, classic silhouettes, and colors like navy and cream.
here’s what made it into my cart (and my closet):
🧠 BONUS
a few other things i’m loving right now:
falling down a TikTok rabbit hole about journals (there are so many kinds)
re-watching Wicked in preparation for Wicked 2
this pen!!!!
i would love to know what you’re into this month too,
