Introduction

October has been such a vibe, and I honestly can’t help but want to write it all down. From little cozy moments to random things that made me smile, I’ve been noticing a lot of stuff that’s been sparking joy. So, just like last month, I’m rounding up all the things I’ve been loving lately. Whether it’s a song, a snack, an app, or just a feeling that’s been making my days a little brighter.


Things I've been loving


Web page offering September wallpapers for download, featuring four desktop preview images with muted tones and the word "sept" visible.

I found this desktop wallpaper on Pinterest, and ever since, I have been coming back every month to download the new wallpaper. They are always so cute and so trendy. My favorites are the Snoopy-inspired ones. If you know me or read my "love for fall" post, you know how much I love Snoopy.

Cartoon dog with headphones enjoys music beside a tape player. Bookshelves in the background. "Sept" and calendar text visible.

Sade's music

I don't know if it's because fall is here or because Sade is a phenomenal singer (probably the latter), but I have been obsessed with her music. My current favorite song is Paradise. Everything about her music is chef's kiss 😙🤌.


Patchwork shirts

White tank top with two blue stars rests on a patterned, blue and white blanket. The stars feature stitching details. Cozy and serene setting.

Recently, I made a patchwork shirt, and it was one of the funnest projects I've done. I finished it in about 2 days. It was easy, and I didn't even have to watch a video to do it.

little mood board with it. On top of that, I already had all I needed, so I didn't have to buy anything!! It was such a great way to calm my mind that after I finished it, I was a little upset because I didn't get to do it again and calm my mind.

If you wanted to try this for yourself, I recommend going on Pinterest and searching up "patchwork shirt inspo" to get an idea of what you would like to do.


Quick side note: I HIGHLY discourage buying this type of shirt from any brand. The idea of this shirt is to use what you have and upcycle your clothes to reduce waste. I love Aeropostale, but I was disappointed when I saw these sweatpants. I love the brand, and I love the Demetra collab, but I just couldn't get behind this.


Aesthetic of the month

October is arguably the best month. But I won't get into too much detail because I already wrote all about it!


Wrap-Up

Altogether, these little things have made October feel cozy, creative, and just… a little brighter. I love noticing the small joys that make my days better, and this month definitely reminded me of that. I hope you found something new to love too, and I can’t wait to share more next month! Who knows what November will bring?
