Hi there! Well, October flew by! I can’t believe it’s time for the holidays already. This month I spent a lot of time on my full-time job hunt and found a great temporary role. I am still trying to figure out the best way to grow this space, but for now, you can count on these monthly posts and posts on Instagram. My October Top 10 has some very cute items, something comfy per usual, and another amazing recipe and book!
1. Bow Claw Clip –
Bows are back! I have always loved a girlie, classy, elegant bow and I am happy to see they are trending again. This claw clip is under $10 and has a gorgeous black bow on it to elevate your claw clip hairstyle.
2. BetterDays Greens with Caffeine –
Organic greens that you can actually understand when reading the ingredient list and all-natural caffeine from tea leaves make BetterDays Co one of my new favorite drinks. It comes as a powder in an individual stick packet that you add to water. They mix extremely well and taste delicious. They also have greens without caffeine and other products for hydration, hormones, and more.
3. HOliday Glassware –
The cutest of my Top 10 items. I purchased very similar glassware for Halloween and fall and loved them. Now they have these super cute options for Christmas in rocks glasses and shot glasses.
4. Red Shoulder Bag –
Red is the color of the season and I love it! I’ve always been a red-wearing girlie so I love seeing more of it. I didn’t buy this specific bag, but it’s super similar to the one I did buy. I love the gold details and true red color of this one.
5. Gold Sun Necklace –
This necklace is stunning and perfect for layering with shorter simple necklaces. It has a goregous pearl center and sun detail. Gold necklaces, like this one, are always my go to.
6. Tie Front Cardigan –
I have been loving cardigans and the ones that have ties in the front. They look cute with a bodysuit, bralette or even nothing underneath if you’re feeling spicy. Here are a few different options. This one is cropped. Love this cable knit. This one is simple.
7. Olive & June Glue On Nails –
If you have been following me on Instagram for a bit, you know I love glue on nails. I used to always get a gel manicure, but in trying to save some money I started using glue on nails. I also love that I can have longer nails without the process of getting acrylics at a salon. Olive & June is a brand I had never used before, but was so impressed with how longer lasted and the quality of the design. I can’t remember exactly, but it was close to two weeks.
8. Cropped Sweatshirt & Jogger Set –
Another great sweat set! This one is definitely one you can out and about. The material is a very soft sweat-wicking neoprene with a little stretch. The inside is smooth, more like an activewear material, instead of fuzzy. I wore it traveling and it was great! I got the joggers in a short so if you are 5’3 or shorter, I’d recommend the same.
9. Pad Thai Recipe –
I was shocked by how much I liked this recipe. It is definitely the most delicious of my Top 10. Honestly, I wasn’t sure about it until I sat down and started eating it. There is a reason it has so many great reviews. I added carrots and white onions to mine as well and didn’t add the peanuts. The lime, green onions, and sriracha on top definitely key.
10. Fourth Wing Book –
Another fantasy book that I absolutely loved! I didn’t think I was a fantasy book type, but maybe I am. This book has a lot of hype this summer and I can totally see why. The author is making it a five-book series and just came out with the second book.
Thank you for reading my October favorites! I hope you enjoyed them and are feeling good going into the cozy holiday season.
Cheers,
Tracy
