  • “Obsessed with ALIGNE’s George Coat for fall styling; I think the navy will be my new essential this season. I also recently purchased these PUMA Speedcat OG Sneakers that are bringing a little fun to my outfits, without sacrificing comfort.” — Maddie Reed (Associate Manager, Fashion)

  • “It feels like it’s been a rain-heavy fall here in New York City, so I’m looking to get a new Patagonia Torrentshell 3L Rain Jacket in a brighter color, which is helpful in the rain, for safety, to be easily seen. Patagonia is my go-to for all my outerwear, as I love all they stand for as a company!” — Alice Dolton (Senior Director, Fashion)

  • “Need to get a wool trench coat pronto! I also have been looking into the Steve Madden Astor Black Leather Boots for the fall.” — Lili Shmaruk (PR Director, Food & Beverage)

  • “It’s puddle season in NYC! I’m loving these Hunter Micah Wellies for splashing through the streets on my commute. To add an extra cute touch, I’m pairing them with these Homecoming Knee-High Socks that peek out from above the boots.” — Stina Peterson (Associate Manager, Affiliate Marketing)

  • Monastery’s Universal Balm to keep dry hands at bay! I can’t get enough of this stuff. It’s hydrating, not oily and the earthy scent is incredibly comforting.” — Kaylee Richards (Senior Director, Food & Beverage)

  • “I was on the hunt for a new fall purse and really wanted to lean into the suede trend! I landed a super-cute chocolate brown bag at Marshall’s, and for high/low vibes added this adorable Coach Cherry Bag Charm.” — Lisa Guastella (Senior Director, Beauty)

  • “I’ve been obsessed with my new Seventy + Mochi Cropped Denim Jacket, which brings a fun pop of pink to fall layering. I’m eyeing a pair of Tecovas Annie Boots to pair with it. For my fall routine, I’ve been taking 4 p.m. walks every day to get some last-minute sunlight in before it gets darker earlier :(.” — Tyler Stephenson (Director, Fashion)

  • “I was looking for a bigger bag for work or weekend trips and fell in love with the Alex Mill Perfect Weekday Tote, and it really is just that!” — Caroline Canny (Manager, Impact)

A recent favorite have been these Steve Madden Dodge Espresso Sneakers…perfect for adding a chic, seasonal touch to my outfits.” — Ellie McGarvey (Director, Executive Speaking)

  • “I’ve been loving my White & Warren Cashmere Cardiganthis fall! It’s the coziest thing, whether throwing something on or getting dressed up. I also have been loving my Tatcha Moisturizer; it really is the best for dry skin.” — Judith Harrington (PR Coordinator, Fashion)

  • “As a pregnant mama, all I want these days is to be cozy! The White & Warren Travel Wrap is a staple for me in the colder months; it’s cozy cashmere and versatile. I’ve been eyeing the ‘Sangria’ color for the fall! — Charlotte LaSala (Senior Director, Fashion)

  • “My nuuly is my best friend during the season change. I love to rent heavy layers, play around with new trends, and find a Halloween costume, all while keeping my closet slim and wallet happy (although this month, I’m obsessed with everything in my box and might need to make some purchases).” — Madison Mursch (Associate Manager, Fashion)

  • ”I’ve been living in my red Samba Janes lately; they’re unbelievably comfortable and never fail to get compliments. As for skin care, I’m still obsessed with my POV Beauty Dew It Kit.

  • “I just bought this Staub Dutch Ovenand like Morgan, it’s basically my best friend. I made bread for the first time and it was incredible. My husband is the king of stews and meats, so I’m very excited to reap the benefits of this purchase. I’ve also been living in the Pistola Kyra Jeans — perfect shape, wash, and the price can’t be beat.” — Melissa Conner (Partner & Managing Director)

  • “As the days shorten and the seasons shift, I love bringing fresh flowers into my home. Whether from Trader Joe’s or UrbanStems, they instantly brighten the apartment, offering a lively and easily changeable decorative touch.
