Autumn is my favorite season, hands-down. So even though the temperature is still hovering around three digits and I’d rather puke than put on a sweater right now, I’m looking forward to it. Oh, yeah, I am. Here’s what I’m going to love.
- Pencil skirts in four-season wool with pretty capes. I’ve been on the verge of making my own version of this beauty since it started to get warm.
- Colorful tights peeking through open-toed shoes and laser-cut boots. I’m going to do a huge We Love Colors order, of course.
- Actually reopening my Etsy shop, because people won’t vomit at the thought of putting on wool hats. Sampling my own wares and throwing cute business cards at anyone who compliments me on them.
- Attaching faux collars to any number of my vintage coats. Mixing and matching. [And occasionally scrapping and yelling and mixing it up.]
- Finally growing my hair out. This actually has nothing to do with autumn, but I’ve grown it rather uncomfortably from my old asymmetrical cut into a choppy, weird bob, and it’s high time that I get it shaped up by a pro so it doesn’t look weirder as it grows out.
- Cashmere. So yummy. My favorite sweater is a cashmere DKNY wrap sweater I got for five bucks at a thrift store. I must find more this year.
- Easing into boot weather.
- Motorcycle jackets. I must have one. I’m searching secondhand. If I can’t find one, I might have to assemble one of these cuties thanks to BurdaStyle.
- Inadvertently always smelling like pumpkin pie spices. Because, I’m not sure if you know this, but in the fall, I make pie daily. And with it, I drink tons of cinnamon toffee cream-flavored coffee with heaps of spices. Yes, the autumn is when I’m allowed to be a girl about my coffee and my cooking, damn it.
Will you please join me in giving autumn a warm welcome so it’ll get here sooner? Please? With salsa on top?

Autumn is my fave season too! Do you know any country where it’s always autumn? I would very much like to live there. And wear my cashmere all the time… ;)
