Weekend Musings | September 29, 2024
In my heart and in my cart. And other things.
In my heart -
It’s finally fall guys. For real Fall. Not Instagram or influencer fall. Actual equinox fall and I’m belaboring the point, but I’m also ready to welcome it. Now you may bring me your pumpkin things and flannel jackets. Everything in its time, you know?
All that said, it’s still pretty warm. Like, beach weather warm which is such an anomaly in northern Michigan. Usually September rolls around and boom! I’m in socks. I’m indulging in it - last night, I did my favorite lazy thing: grabbed some Subway sammies and headed to the lake to eat dinner. My kids think it’s this big deal, but I know the truth - I just got out of cooking and even Subway is a vibe when the atmosphere is right.
In other news, I’m embarking on my annual reread of a Harry Potter book. I’ve voraciously consumed the series a handful of times and now I micro dose, afraid that I could reread it so many times it loses its magic. So I read one single book out of the series every September and enjoy it very much. This year is Chamber of Secrets. Feel timely in particular given the news of Dame Maggie Smith.
Anyway, what are you up to lately? I read yesterday a line that caught me - September is a 30-day farewell to summer and it truly has been for me. Every weekend, thinking it’s the last beach weekend. The last time I’ll pull on shorts or wear flip flops. The last ice cream cone. So far, none of those have been true as the warm weather lingers, but in any case, I’ve been spending this month in a long goodbye.
In my cart -
+AERIE New Arrivals // Holy cow. What a great drop.
++This corduroy mini available in a few different shades, but I’m planning to break the classic “no white after Labor Day” bullshit rule for the lightest colorway.
++The quarter snap pullover is in my cart. I like the red but there are a TON of colors to choose from, and I could be talked into navy as well.
++Also really loving the green and white henley. Top tier layering piece.
++Rugby polos are so trendy right now. I like it in a classic red and white stripe.
++Honorable mentions // this cloud fleece mini skirt in black, which I’ve already pledged allegiance to in heather gray. This cream and black striped polo sweater. And finally, most seasonally, this subtle halloween tee.
Other Things -
+I didn’t realize I’d enjoy photos of birds so much, but what a fun peruse! Surfing penguin was my favorite.
+I’ve shared this before, but it’s still one of my favorite things on the internet: the literary clock.
