October Finds and Favorites
I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. - Lucy Maud Montgomery
I'm back! I missed this in September, but the month absolutely flew by and before I knew it, it was gone.
Here's what I'm loving and what's on my wishlist lately!
1. Doen Elowen skirt: This espresso color has a chokehold on me lately and this lace trimmed skirt has me swooning. It also comes in dress form. Sadly, I haven't found a dupe, so neither of these will be part of my fall wardrobe, but a girl can dream!
2. Between the name and the packaging, I've been sold on Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask for years, and yet never tried it! Going deeper into fall, I'm already experiencing drier skin, so I might try this as an alternative to my go-to spot treatment.
3. I love these scalloped wall sconces with my whole being. A couple years ago, I splurged and bought a pink velvet lampshade from Pooky. This was back before they had US fulfillment so I paid dearly for international shipping. I'm delighted that they now offer shipping from within the US, meaning that their adorable lighting is now much more accessible to my budget.
4. It wouldn't be a finds and favorites without a coffee bean recommendation! I love Stumptown coffee and Holler Mountain may be my favorite of their roasts.
5. The coquette trend may have come and gone, but I've always loved bows and I always will. I tried on this bow ring at Thistle and Bess in Ann Arbor last weekend and now it's on my wishlist. They also carry matching earrings!
6. Continuing in the bow theme, I've held out on purchasing any of Anthropologie's icon juice glasses, but I really want one of these bow glasses!
7. I first came across Maison Familiale syrups at a coffee shop in Nice earlier this year, and I was delighted to see them for sale, this cardamom one particularly, at Roots coffee shop in Eagle River, Wisconsin on a trip up north in September. They made a delicious cardamom and maple latte with it and it was superb!
8. How cute are these tole candlesticks with pumpkin vines? I first learned about tole a few years ago and now I'm obsessed!
9. Finally, another stunning piece of fine jewelry from Thistle and Bess: these garnet cabochon earrings are so deliciously autumnal!
I hope everyone has a happy and cozy October!
