I didn’t necessarily feel as though October arrived too soon, but now I’m definitely questioning how close we are to November…? Temperatures were sliced in HALF here over the last week, which is not cool, but here’s some things that are::*

ACK Off-Season // We’ve done Nantucket in the summer. Nantucket in the winter. This weekend, if ferry conditions allow, we’ll be experiencing Nantucket in the fall. In case you’re new here, I’m a huge fan of traveling off-season. Ski towns in the summer, beach towns in the winter. No crowds, better prices; the trips always feel like what weekend getaways should feel like– relaxing. We’ll report back after this one…!

Why Not Me? // I have to admit that, so far, I like Mindy Kaling’s first book just a teeeny tiny bit better [and I can’t put my figure on why! anyone else in this boat?], but this is still such a fun, easy, and oddly inspirational read. I feel like being awkward is the key to success in Hollywood these days. So I’ve got that going for me.

Kate Spade Home // Is it just me, or did Kate Spade’s home furniture collection just pop out of nowhere? [Apologies for not being one of those Fashion Week//Fancy Food Show//Home & Housewares attendees who might be able to give you a head’s up on these collections?] Well, obviously, everything is luscious and I could buy half of a new car for the price of this couch, but they sure are fun to lust over.

Living Proof Dry Shampoo // I’m not much of a product person, but one thing I rely on every few days is dry shampoo. The team at Living Proof sent me their brand new game-changer of a product, and it’s one of my favorites yet. As in, I actually purposely will avoid washing my hair knowing that I can spritz some of this on my roots (gross?). But it’s the first dry shampoo to absorb oil, sweat, and odor = triple threat.

Emily Jane Jewelry // When it seems like every major retailer and brand out there is doing something to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month (and good thing!), it can be overwhelming. But here’s a designer who I especially admire, for she’s donating ONE-HUNDRED percent of proceeds from this limited-edition cuff bracelet to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Let’s tone down the weirdness and get real for a second because I’m teary just typing this:: You can have something engraved on the inside using their “actual handwriting” technique “which allows us to duplicate words or phrases in someone’s exact handwriting.”

Metallic Flats // Ballet, d’orsay, loafers… I love them all. They can add an instant chic factor to even the laziest of lazy-day outfits. Currently crushing on these and these, which are on super sale.

Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Macchiato // I gave into the advertising. I tried one (iced). It was hea-ven y’all. #onlyavailableforalimitedtime #yolo

*edit:: One day in the middle of writing this. it went back up to 72 degrees. If you don’t like the weather in Boston, wait a minute.
