It’s Libra season, so what better way to ring in the month than to tell you our favorite things we’ve been shopping for lately. We’ve rounded up our top five home, fashion, beauty, and entertainment products for the month of October to inspire you for the upcoming holidays.
An Oh-So-Stylish Coffee Table Book
Have we been living under a rock, or did everyone know that the Metropolitan Museum of Art, AKA The Met, has the chicest online store ever? Not only do they have incredible bespoke jewelry fit for the Met Gala itself, but they have museum-inspired home goods, sumptuous stationary, and tons of art and fashion coffee table books your guests will drool over. When we saw this Vogue & The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Met Gala Fashion book, we immediately added to our cart. It makes a gorgeous gift for the holidays for a loved one (or yourself – we won’t tell).
Chunky 90s Loafers
Dare we say it – the chunky 90s shoe is back! We were hesitant at first, but to be honest, these Franco Sarto Balin Platform Loafers from Nordstrom look comfy af and are so on-trend for fall. Buy them new, or you can easily thrift these on DePop or your local thrift shop. Pair with a long, floral skirt or a ditzy-print dress and a light denim jacket for major 90s vibes. We can hear the Dawson’s Creek theme song in our heads already…
Moisturizer That Quenches Thirsty Skin
Hey, quick question, why the heck is my skin SO DRY lately? I carry around my emotional support water bottle all day, I lather on creams at night, I avoid hot showers (ok that was a lie), but what gives? So, even though I have a ceramide cream that locks in moisture, and I love it, I tend to need a little extra plumping after the hot shower or in the A.M. after the A/C dries out my skin overnight. We found our thirsty-skin quenching moisturizer that doubles the impact of a night cream. The Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator penetrates deep into your skin and instantly plumps – it’s truly like magic. Our skin is now ready for the dry, cold weather – bring it on, fall!
A Spooky Read for Spooky Season
Ready for a heart-pumping, gonzo-style ride about a teen who must fight for her life? Spooky season brings us the latest horror novel, My Heart is a Chainsaw, by Stephen Graham Jones, a Blackfeet Native American indigenous author. Jade is a 17-year-old girl and orphan living in small-town Idaho. When brutally murdered bodies start piling up, she turns to her knowledge and love of horror movies to help solve the case of whodunit. This novel is action-packed, emotionally charged, and fit for horror, true-crime and thriller aficionados alike. Grab a copy online or at your local bookstore and enjoy with a PSL in hand.
A Marble Pastry Board for All Those Upcoming Holiday Bake-Fests
Okay, can we all agree this Marble Pastry Board from Williams Sonoma is stunning? It’s a classic piece that makes rolling any dough a breeze. The marble is praised by pastry chefs for its ability to retain a cooler than room temperature and keep your dough chilled, so it doesn’t get all sticky. The results? Perfect holiday cookies and pastries that are sure to impress and delight. Chef’s kiss!
