2. Jennifer Behr Padded Headbands

The padded headband is back, and Jennifer Behr makes the chicest styles and colors– sustainably. Every piece is handmade in Brooklyn, where the workers are paid a living wage, and their obsolete inventory at the end of the year fits “in one shoebox.” Made of premium silks, satins, velvets, and crystals, these accessories will last decades. I got the Kate headband in Cappuccino, and it’s lightweight, silky perfection. I also love this Tori headband in Forest velvet, looking ahead to the holidays. If you’re not ready for a bigger headband, try the slimmer profile Tiana headband, and see how quickly it becomes one of your fall favorites, too.

Catch me wearing the Playa Linen Shirt on any given day–it’s perfect for layering and adding sun protection without being too hot! This cinnamon shade is called Desert, which is perfect for Fall. You can also buy it in a set with matching linen shorts.

 

 

4. Vuori boyfriend jogger

Fall is the season of everything boyfriend-sized, from jeans to shirts to joggers. Vuori is famous for their joggers, but did you know they’re also a Climate Neutral Certified Brand? As a V1 Community member, Vuori is my go-to for activewear and loungewear. These Boyfriend Joggers are soft and cozy enough for errands, WFH, or lounging on the weekend, and they’re the perfect weight for transitional weather, making them one of my fall favorites and also a year round staple! #therisetheshine
 

5. Only murders in the building on hulu

Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin are hilarious in this series! And it always seems to take place in Autumn in New York City, which really makes me want to plan a trip! Oh and Selena’s character is always wearing the most stylish and cozy cashmere sweaters. Season 3 centers around Oliver’s play-turned-musical, which made it extra fun for my inner theatre kid. 
 

6. Spiced apple cider spindrift

I looove this seasonal flavor! Spindrift is my favorite sparkling water because it’s just fruit, no funky “flavors” added. This Spiced Apple Cider flavor is crisp, refreshing, and perfectly Fall. 
 

 

Like the cheese balls of the 90s, but real food. Made with real cheddar and heirloom corn (seeds that have been around at least 100 years, grown sustainably, and never genetically modified), they’re a delicious snack that doesn’t last long in our house. Use them in a Halloween-themed charcuterie board, or eat them straight from the bag, like I do. 

8. Dae Hibiscus Wave Spray

This wave spray is hydrating, smells amazing, and makes soft waves! As a brand, DAE is Leaping Bunny certified and donates a portion of purchases to charities bringing clean water to developing nations.

 

9. Ed Sheeran’s Autumn Variations album

We recently saw Ed Sheeran in concert at SoFi Stadium and it was truly an amazing show! There are no pre-recorded tracks– he makes all beats and harmonies on the spot using a Loop Pedal. It was really impressive! He recently released a new album “Autumn Variations” which I’m excited to listen through! But he’s not my favorite ginger…(see number 10!).  

1o. Pumpkin Spice Golden Retriever

Bodhi is our Golden Retriever and he’s very much a red-golden, so we affectionately call him our Pumpkin Spice Golden. I’m enjoying walks with him in the cool Autumn air!
 

That’s all for now, I hope you’re enjoying the changing seasons wherever you’re located!

Now a few days into October, there’s no denying it: it’s Autumn. I’m excited for all my fall favorites: Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Fall sunsets, Spooky Season, and my birthday. Today on the blog, 10 Random Things I’m Loving: Fall Edition. Dive into pumpkin spice, apples, and all things cozy– with a sustainable edge, of course!

1. Purely Elizabeth pumpkin cinnamon Ancient grain granola


PSL fans, this is for you. This Pumpkin Cinnamon granola is seriously addicting, and packed with healthy ingredients! Purely Elizabeth is my favorite granola– I love every flavor! Unlike other seasonal treats, you won’t find any artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or other junk in this. Blueberry Hemp is another favorite I’m loving right now.
