Fall is officially here and my little sister is back with her annual round up of what all the cool kids are into.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I am fall’s #1 fan. Is there a magical faraway land where it’s fall year-round? SIGN ME UP. I’m the quintessential “basic girl” when it comes to fall: plaid shirt, puffer vest, TGL (toasted graham latte – the new PSL) and finding any opportunity to get the perfect fall insta shot.

I could talk about fall and how much I love it all day but…on to the good stuff! Changing it up this year to a gift-giving philosophy (because sometimes you need to #treatyoself): something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read.

Something you want…
A new pair of glasses. Ever since I got prescription sunglasses this summer, I’ve been wearing my glasses almost exclusively during the week. While I own two pairs of well-loved Warby Parker frames, why not add a third?

Something you need…
According to my father, I never really need anything but for the sake of this blog post, I chose something that I think I “need”: a big ol’ pot (my sis loves this one) to make some delicious soup in.

Something to wear…
on your nails! I have an obsession with nail polishes and I think I’ve found my new favorite fall color.

Something to read…
I read multiple books at a time – usually something funny, something not so funny, short stories/poetry and a memoir. This month I’m reading:

Why Not Me? Mindy Kaling
Between the World and Me Ta-Nehisi Coates
Sick in the Head: Conversations About Life and Comedy Judd Apatow
Cherry Mary Karr

Now get out there and soak up every second of FALL! I’ll see you next year 🙂
