The slow fade of of summer into autumn is a wonder to witness, steady and quietly magical in the way that nature often is.
In this quiet moment of transition, we find ourselves gravitating towards all things specifically autumn, welcoming the change in season however we can.
Here in the studio, we welcome autumn like an old friend, long missed.
September – the beginning of the “-ber” months… the most magical time of the year.
We like to use these first few days of the month, before the equinox, to readjust our mindset and make a small list of simple ways to step into autumn.
Keep reading for a handful of ways we start to welcome the new season
♡
✧ Listen ✧
Warm cozy tunes for cooler days.
I love playing Gregory Alan Isakov, Noah Kahan, Lord Huron or Fleet Foxes to set the perfect autumnal tone.
Light some candles, play your music and set the mood while cooking dinner with a glass of wine, wooly socks on, windows open.
Moody tunes focused on harmonizing vocals and lyrical mastery will pull you right into the vibes of the cooler, darker nights ahead.
✧ Read ✧
I like to break out a dark academia book for the start of the season.
With school beginning and the leaves changing, now is the perfect time for something that edges on dark and twisty, set in a moody, academic location.
A couple of my favourites:
• If We Were Villains by ML Rio
• The Secret History by Donna Tart
One that’s on my list for the season:
• In These Hallowed Halls: A Dark Academia Anthology by Marie O’Raegan
And of course, nothing hits quite like a classic tale.
A favourite for me:
• Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
✧ Breathe ✧
Whether it’s taking your coffee out to the patio, taking a neighbourhood walk, or sitting out with a blanket as the moon rises, nothing hits like 30 minutes of crisp fall air.
To take time and be present is one of the most grounding things you can do for yourself, and I truly hope that you find time to do this for you.
If a walk isn’t your thing, this might be a great chance to journal and reflect, meditation or diving into your next fall read.
Sometimes it’s hard to prioritize getting out, but for me I know I always feel better after I’ve actually carved out the time and space for myself.
✧ Become a Manifestation Girlie ✧
Now is the perfect time to realign with your goals and dream BIG.
New season = new intentions.
It’s time to manifest, friend.
If you’ve been thinking about a change, this may be the time to take the leap.
The start of fall is an ideal time to hit re-set, and take a look at where you’ve been over the last year, and dig deep to see where you can still go
We wholeheartedly believe in mindful, intentional adornment, and the power in deliberately choosing the pieces we wear in order to energetically manifest our wildest ambitions.
We want you to think clearly about what you want for yourself in the coming months.
Mentally walk through what that looks like.
Focus this time of year on taking charge of your actions, emotions, beliefs, and habits to achieve your best life.
A Talisman can act as the perfect visual reminder of what you’re working towards.
A few of our favourites for this time of year:
• The Head + The Heart
A fine balance: take time to focus on finding the balance between logic, love, reason and emotion.
• The Snake
a symbol of transformation, personal growth and renewal; a reminder that as painful as letting go can sometimes be, it is also what allows us to grow, thrive and transform.
• Vegvísir
“The Wayfinder” // an Icelandic stave intended to help the bearer find their way through rough weather.
A totem to help navigate the path of the unknown.
