My favorite things for fall

Here are some of my current fall favorites – getting in the mood for the season!

Needless to say, I am obsessed with this graphic pillow from Burrow. ($59)
I have been diligently applying this tonic body oil from Clarins (it helps that it smells divine!) ($65)
Here comes the perfect cardigan in the aptly named shade of cider – what could be more autumnal? ($98)
Enamel mug from Hay for all the tea or pumpkin latte needs. ($15)
I am all about moody navy nail polish now that the leaves are changing color. ($18)
A cozy candle is a must for the season – this one has subtle notes of saffron. ($36)
A stylish and practical must-have: this suede cleaning kit. ($12)
This chocolate bar is the perfect mix of black and white and a chic treat for Halloween ($9.95)

Frenchette

I’m always excited to try new French restaurants outside of France, especially ones that respect the classics of the cuisine in a casual, but chic atmosphere. This is all to say that if you have been trying to get into Frenchette, you should go next time you are in New York. The space is inviting,…
