Hello! Happy Friday.

It’s a beautiful, sunny day here in New England and the leaves are starting to change. What a treat! Now, it’s not quite as vibrant as it will be (or is already in VT), but the fall foliage is just about the best part of this time of year. That and finally being able to wear cooler-weather layers; October truly is one of the best months.

We’re only hours away from a long weekend so I’ve got a good Buffet ready to go for all of you. Fun articles, fall cookies, TV to view tonight, plus some shopping of course. Fall clothes are the best so I just couldn’t help myself…

Thank you for reading and have a great one!

READ

For better or (seemingly) worse, the espresso martini is the cocktail of 2021. I guess we were ahead of the trend serving them at our wedding back in 2016. ;)

Apparently I’m not the only one steering clear of fine dining these days. Honestly? I usually seek out “bar food” if we decide to venture out.

My phone fell out of my hand while walking recently and it was a humbling, horrible moment. I’ve since ordered a new case, but here’s an iPhone case roundup if you need better iPhone protection as well.

A useful piece about how to style ankle-height boots with pants.

I need this cookbook and these pancakes are on my weekend “to make for breakfast” list.

I’m thisclose to ordering an air fryer. Which one should I get? Have you used an air fryer?

COOK

Air-Fryer Spiced Potato Wedge Fries - yum.

Super Lemony Olive Oil Cake - time to bake a cake.

Salted Caramel Apple Cookies - while I don’t love apples, I do love cookies (and caramel). Wowza.

Simple Baked Cheesy Italian Chicken Meatballs - every word of this dish is appealing. Perfect for a crisp, fall night.

Pad See Ew - adding this to our “to make next week” list. Looks so good!

WATCH

Only Murders in the Building - only two more episodes! Who did it?!

Ted Lasso Season Two - just as charming, and even better, than season one. Season finale is on tonight!

The Morning Show Season Two - the best Friday night show.

SHOP

New Balance 996 sneakers - my other favorite style which is super comfy and I’ve been wearing all week.

Vuori Performance Jogger - incredibly comfy pants for watching TV or running errands (with the above sneakers).

J.Crew Cashmere Puff Sleeve Sweater - this looks so nice, but I think I’ll wait for a sale…

I’m a sucker for coats (read: I don’t need one) and this Windowpane Lynnford Coat at Madewell has caught my eye.

Love this charcoal sweater from Jenni Kayne. Looks so cozy!

Debating the “shacket” trend and considering this plaid one. Looks comfy, but might be unnecessary?

Have a great weekend and enjoy!
