IN MY WORLD //

what I’m pinning // my OCTOBER Inspo board is here to serve up all the fall vibes

what I’m watching // fall can only mean one thing- it’s Meg Ryan movie season! So you know that means I’m watching When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle on repeat! But I’m also loving/working my way through this perfect fall movie list!

what I’m listening to // the perfect playlist for cozy evenings in the kitchen and gatherings around the dinner table

what I’m following on Instagram // as if I didn’t already love Maine enough, this account is giving me yet another reason why it’s one of my favorite states (and also making me want to book a trip back ASAP)

what I’m cooking // allllll the squash (this dish has been on repeat) and alllll the apple things, because, well, ‘tis the season!

what I’m drinking // I’m all about these new wine spritzers (which, yes, you can order online)! They’re made without sugar, sulfates or preservatives, they’re certified organic and even have adaptogens in them! I mean, seriously all the good things and I can’t get enough (the white wine ones are my favorite…so light and crisp and you can really taste the passion fruit flavor!

what I’m shopping for // all the cozy knits from Jenni Kayne! Between this one, this one, this one and, well, basically the entire sweater collection, there are just too many good ones to choose from! P.S.
