Cinnamon schnapps, cinnamon sticks, and warm apple cider? What’s not to love about this fall cocktail courtesy of one of my go-to books, Party Drinks!? I highly suggest this spiced treat this time of year, preferably while wearing similar attire.

There is something so perfectly autumnal about cozying up around a big bonfire with hot chocolate and s’mores. My friends used to treck out to the quiet suburban areas of Cambridge from downtown Boston numerous times a year for these, but there is no better time to host them than fall.

I remember being quite young and reading an article in some teen magazine or another about the coolest college campuses. Harvard University was on that list, due in large part– I’m sure– to the preppy-meets-hipster sanctuary that is Harvard Square. I spent this past unseasonably warm Saturday strolling between the Square and the Charles River, where The Head of the Charles Regatta was taking place– an October tradition I’ve tried to make a point to come to since I first moved to Boston. Clam chowder, pumpkin beer, and old fashioned sarsaparilla were enjoyed. I do recommend it.

I feel fortunate to be one of those lucky New England residents who get Columbus Day off from work. I spent this year’s Monday holiday, appropriately yet not intentionally, dressed in rather American colors, walking around a small Massachusetts town and finally having a chance to breathe and appreciate the beauty of early autumn.

The most gorgeous fall day was had this past weekend. Apples were picked. Pumpkins were selected. Doughnuts were devoured, and cider was sipped. Fall is here, and all is well now.

A sip of pumpkin spice latte, in accordance with stumbling across this perfectly autumn outfit, finally made me feel like embracing fall. I adore this look by Katie from Running on Happiness… she’s the kind of blogger with such a great eye that it makes me wonder why I even bother! Total outfit crush on her.

I have the September issues. I’ve been reading the blogs. I’ve browsed the stores. And this is what I’ve come up with as my official autumn wish list…
1 // A Kelly-green blazer or jacket. I’ve wanted one ever since Anne Hathaway rocked the color in The Devil Wears Prada.
Couldn’t A-green More Blazer, ModCloth, $55
2 // Peplum. It was so trendy this spring/summer, but I really only picked up one piece in the cut, and am lusting after more!
Peplum Ponte Tank, Anthropologie, $78
3 // A timeless, leather bag. An investment piece I hope will last for many falls to come.
Newnham Side Bag, Jack Wills, $298
4 // Neck scarves. So Jackie O. And how adorable is this fox print?
Foxy Printed Chiffon Scarf, Tory Burch, $165
5 // I love my Lilly Pulitzer umbrella, but the bright pink and green doesn’t blend so well during November rain storms.
Lyndhurst Umbrella, Jack Wills, $39.50
6 // Flat tan boots. They go with [almost] everything in my closet.
Candence Boots, Steve Madden, $99
7 // Tory Burch flats. For everything the boots don’t match.
Reva Ballerina Flat, Tory Burch, $195
8 // Loafers. I especially love ones with preppy details like the horse, and tassels.
Marshmallow Loafers with Trim, ASOS, $43
9 // Nautical jewelry. To keep the feeling of New England summers alive all through the cold temperatures.
Crimson Fish Cuff, BaubleBar, $42
