Goodbye late sunsets, firework shows, and bikini-clad poolside barbecues. Now’s the time to cozy up, and get ready to move through the fall season stylish and in alignment.
Richard Papen’s Fall in the Stacks
For the person who: reads on the subway, loves their commonplace notebook, “I’ll bring a book just in case,” Capricorn, Aquarius, Gemini
The smell of old books greet him happily. He spends hours among the shelves: writing, editing, reading. There’s a whole world hidden in these stacks for those who learn to speak its language. Chairs scrape along old wood floors and carts bustle between tables. Friends whisper to each other about syntax and symbolism. Deadlines leer in the distance, but tonight? They’ll wrap up the studying with a bottle of wine and good company.
Bella Swan’s Misty Autumn
For the person who: camps under the stars, feels better on rainy days, has a favorite booth at their local dive, Cancer, Taurus, Sagittarius
Bright blue skies fall into muted grays; the color of the sea, of that worn wool sweater, of home. Morning dew hangs heavy and night fogs cling into the earliest hours. Neighborhood diners and dives filled to the brim with locals, folks who know her and her dad and his dad, too. Escape down to the shore for long walks, picnics, and a beer on the edge of the world.
Elio Perlman’s Fading Summer
For the person who: uses all their PTO, is the designated host, spends all weekend on the town, Libra, Aries, Pisces
Fall may be around the corner, but he’s ready to get every last second out of summer before he concedes to the ’Ber months. One last vacation, biking as the sun sets and the wind catches his cap. There’s a hint of autumn’s colors slipping through the vineyards and orchards. Reading on the deck, dinner on the patio; there’s still enjoyment to be had as August starts its goodbyes.
Nancy Meyer’s Fall by the Sea
For the person who: never misses the wordle, schedules their vacation ‘off-season,’ gets mistaken for a local, Scorpio, Leo, Virgo
The summer’s crowds have packed up and abandoned the small seaside towns. They don’t mind. The sea stays glittering for them, the sand warm, and the horizon beautiful under autumn sunsets. Roaring bonfires sing against rumbling waves. S’mores and cocoa replace seafood boils. Cableknits hang over her shoulders as she takes morning walks with a coffee in hand. The waves hum quietly, ready to sink into deep winter blues.
