Happy October + Highlights

October is here! When I was kid and asked what my favorite time of year was, I would always say summer without faltering. Now, with my job as a teacher, I still love summer because I have time to travel and explore. However, as I’ve grown older, I more and more think that fall is my favorite season. I love the weather, the flavors, the fashion, the decorations, the holidays (and lead up to Christmas), and everything else! I can’t wait for it to start feeling a little more like fall in Los Angeles. Thank goodness I’m going to Colorado in a few weeks for some red, orange, and yellow leaves! Happy October + highlights of my favorite links this week are below! Hint: there are a couple can’t miss sales, cough *Tory Burch* cough.

Highlights:

With Love From R&R:

1. I broke down fall fashion this week and filled you in on the 8 pieces you’ll love all through fall and where to snag them.

3. Fall is here! These pumpkins prove it.

4. If you read one post this week, I hope it was this one. You need THE boot of the winter before it sells out (it’s already selling like crazy!)

5. Have you seen my Halloween and my Autumn Pinterest boards?

6. This week’s outfit post was shot at Fashion Week in New York. I LOVE the cardigan and booties I wore!

7. I’m mad for plaid! Here are the plaid pieces I can’t live without this season.
