Autumn - season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, and as far as I'm concerned, sneakiness! Every year, no matter how aware of the date you may be, fall never fails to just creep up out of nowhere. And just like that, you're left scrambling to come up with a seasonal plan of attack, desperate to make the most of things before the big chill.
Well, this year, we think you should take a chill pill and a page out of our absolute favorite influencer Katie Sturino's book. The social media force is all about enjoying the little things this fall, and I've got to admit, she's on to something. As fun as making grand plans is, let's face it - if you (much like myself) haven't already made arrangements to go apple picking, there's like a 30% chance that's actually going to happen this year. So do yourself a favor - stop thinking big and start loving the small.
Check out the top four things Katie's looking forward to this fall!
1. Central Park With The Pooches
I'm all about taking the dogs to Central Park and watching them run in the leaves during off-leash hours.
[Editor's note: If you're not following Katie's dogs Muppet, Cheese and Crumb on Instagram, you have a lot of cuteness to catch up on.]
2. Street Style Spotting
I love looking at people's fall style on the street!
3. Hot Beverage Season
Switching to hot coffee in the morning is a big seasonal switch.
4. Gold Coast Strolls
Walking down lower Fifth Avenue when the light hits just right and the air is crisp and it's just a bit of magic.
