Long Weekend Reading 10.12



Happy long weekend! It's been a minute, huh? Fall is in full swing here and I've been busy. My brother was in town for the past couple of weeks so we did all the fall things we could while he was around: hiking, apple picking, exploring the coast... all this, plus a little too much happening personally lead to a little hiatus that wasn't intended. Now that things have calmed down, I'm looking forward to taking full advantage of my three day weekend. Today calls for rain, so I'm planning to do some fall decorating and closet-cleaning-out so I can take advantage and get outside on the other days. What are you up to? Hope it's something good!

These candles are my kind of fall decor (and they're on sale!) (there's a diffuser too!)

On my October wishlist: a cozy cashmere beanie, a classic pair of jeans, and the perfect pair of slouchy boots

I've heard great things about this face essence - that it's a dupe for SKII! – just ordered, will report back...

Who would Tavi Gevinson be without Instagram? Worth considering for all of us.

Have you seen Blair's new collection for Nordstrom? It's so good! Love this polkadot dress.
