Indulging in the Best of October
October is here and I could not be more excited to bask in everything that is autumn. From painting pumpkins and indulging in the best of fall fashion, to enjoying spiced beer and trips to upstate New York, this season will be packed with amazing memories!
As much as I love spending summer enjoying the warm weather at the Shore, I always welcome the transition to fall with open arms. This time is so representative of change, between new menu items popping up at my favorite city restaurants, to being able to finally break out beloved sweaters from the previous year, I’m all for autumn.
Painting pumpkins is one of my favorite things to do come October, that’s why we debuted our new Pumpkin Patch print this season! It’s always fun to get creative with your pumpkin paintings or carvings, something Printfresh themed (like our fabulous Bagheera pumpkin) makes for a fun challenge as well. I also always look forward to our annual family trip to Upstate New York. The changing leaves, beautiful mountain ranges and crisp fall air is my cup of tea, there’s nothing quite like this environment come fall.
As much as this trip means to me, I do love staying in the city during the season. The temperature dropping, pulling sweaters out of storage and all the fall foods is made extra special in Philadelphia. With plenty of autumn beer from local breweries, spiced foods and seeing fun new things pop up on the menus at my favorite restaurants, the city has so much to offer come October.
Settling in at our new home and enjoying the simple things like watching Halloween movies with plenty of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups is also something I’m looking forward to. I’m hoping my kids will watch Beetlejuice with me! I love seeing what they’ll dress up as every year. My youngest loves to dress up in scary costumes that I would have never picked as a kid - so that always cracks me up. Last year they were a swamp creature and I got a big kick out of that. I was a mushroom a few years back - and Christiane (our print designer) and I said we should just swap costumes this year since she was a snail!
One of my favorite parts of fall fashion is fall footwear. My No 6. Old school High Heel Clogs are the best and such a great easy transition from sandal season. My Isabel Marant Dicker Booties also go with everything so I’m eager to break them out this year. These animal-printed boots are also so fun!
