How To Transition From Summer To Fall

WE DID IT, EVERYONE!! We made it. (Just barely.) The summer was so long and so hot. It simultaneously went by in a flash, but also crawled at a snail’s pace. I visited California, New Hampshire, and Vermont… but I also spent a lot of time inside of my living room drinking wine.

Forget all that because we’re moving forward. Nature is dying all around us, and it’s time for us to rise up and come alive.

Here’s how to SAFELY transition:

Trade your sandals for boots. It’s still hot and your ankles are sweaty but #FASHION. 

Fleece yourself. It’s like that movie, How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days, but instead of covering yourself in diamonds, cover yourself in various fleece garments. I like this one from Abercrombie and Fitch.

Swap your squash. Throw out the zucchini. It's silly and outdated! Now it’s time to incorporate the beautiful, vibrant butternut squash. Chop it into cubes (or buy it already chopped because you don’t have time for that noise) and sprinkle it with some olive oil and red pepper flakes. Maybe a little bit of MAPLE SYRUP? Wow. You are living. 

Autumn-ize your iced coffee. In New England, the iced coffee season is year-round. Throw in a squirt of caramel or pumpkin spice and live your best life. I actually don’t like sweetness, so I like to add some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice! It doesn’t mix well at all and kind of looks like there are bugs in my coffee but… OH WELL. 

SWEATER WEATHER. Do you remember the six sweaters you bought last year? THEY’RE SO LAST YEAR. Buy six new ones!!! 

Visit a sunflower field, pumpkin patch, or apple orchard. Don’t forget to post it on Instagram! 

Get the fuck to Trader Joe’s. My friend Cristina said, “I went to Trader Joe’s and it looks like fall through up and I’m living for it.” It’s time for the VP (Vanilla Pumpkin) candle and cinnamon brooms by your cat’s litter box!!!
