1. Hoka Tor Ultra Hi Hiking Boots
I live in the UK where it rains all the time and it gets ultra-slippy and treacherous for pedestrians because of the frost and fallen leaves. A good pair of hiking boots/shoes can never go amiss and i like these because they’re super sturdy without hurting my feet. (i got my pair on eBay because they’re expensive to buy brand new)
2. Coffeenotes Layflat Notebooks
If you journal these are great because they come in fun designs and are made from recycled coffee cups. As a left-hander, i like how flat they lay when i write.
3. Valancourt Books Paperbacks from Hell
Valancourt Books are a small publisher who have a collection of paperback horror books with cool old-school covers. I’ve collected most of them and the best one is The Auctioneer by Joan Samson.
4. Good Will Hunting (1997)
I feel like I don’t even have to recommend this, it’s a classic and I watch it every September without fail.
5. The Sweater Shop
They’re an old brand that used to make really cool sweaters and you can still find a bunch of them secondhand on Etsy and eBay. (seriously considered gatekeeping these)
6. Twinings Apple, Cinnamon & Raisin Tea
I guess any spiced apple tea will do, this one is just my favourite and I drink so much of it because I can’t stand pumpkin spiced flavoured things but want to feel included.
7. The Shepherd’s Dog by Iron & Wine
Nothing is more autumnal than folk music and I consider Sam Beam the gold standard. This is my favourite album of his.
8. Michigan by Sufjan Stevens
This is also my favourite Sufjan album, there’s a theme running here.
9. The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors +HA
Not super autumnal outside of the fact that cold weather makes my skin dry and this is the only thing that works for me. Also it’s cruelty free!
10. Baggu Crew Socks
These socks are so cute and so soft and I definitely spend too much money on them considering they’re literally just socks.

I think most of my favourite things make the most sense in autumn: soup, tea, coffee, staring out of a window, scarves, hats, fungi etc. (ps. It’s mushroom season so now is the time to go on a walk and look at the floor)

i’m not sure whether this is a common feeling, but october is one of my favorite months for listening to/discovering music! i associate the season with feelings of reflection & renewal (and if you’re anything like me, maybe a little too much of the former 🥴), and even though some of these picks might not cleanly align with your criteria, they still feel distinctly autumnal to me:
ml buch: flames shards goo
alex g: in my arms
big thief: the only place
modest mouse: talking shit about a pretty sunset
weyes blood: picture me better
bon iver: michicant
beth orton: pass in time
grouper: the way her hair falls
mojave 3: love songs on the radio
elliott smith: everything reminds me of her
happy (or rather, melancholic?) listening!!

It's a season where I feel at my most comfortable. Autumnal music is kinda underrated, though. Plus, spooky season.

if you’re a wikipedia addict like me and you like going down internet rabbit-holes, this is a cool website that will take you to random old websites that haven’t been updated in a while.
mostly it‘s a lot of old personal websites and blogs which makes it a really nice time capsule from before the internet died.
