A cozy fall playlist for winding, leaf-filled drives and nights hunkered down under a big ass quilt
When I think of the big ol’ concept of nostalgia, what immediately comes to mind is those lazy weekend days when I was small — where I’d spend hours snuggled under the biggest puddle of blankets I could find, armed with a book so delicious I never wanted it to end (with Gilmore Girls playing gently in the background — those “la la las” were the soundtrack to my youth).
Nothing feels more inherently autumnal to me than these types of nights, where you have nothing to do and nowhere to be and you feel all the more grateful for it. I’m an indoor cat at heart. This playlist is for those exact evenings. Plus winding drives with a giant coffee, lazily meandering past swaths of richly tinted trees, where the whole world looks burnished and glowing. Damn, there’s nothing like this season.
As someone with more than a little boobage, a halter is my best friend. Just bought this for summer patio nights and it’s so good I could scream.
My obsession with this brand is infinite. Perfect marketing. Essential graphic design. Scents are over-the-top, audaciously delicious. 10/10/10.
This is the most comfortable sneaker I have ever worn, bar none. So easy to walk in. Stylish in that this-is-a-sneaker-a-dad-would-mow-grass-in kind of way.
Baies who?! This is my summer obsession scent. Perfectly clean and fresh while still being interesting.
