As we trade in our bikinis and Birkenstocks for boots and beanies, we welcome the best time of year: autumn. Arguably, it's the coziest time of year (I don't want to hear anything about winter; it's too cold), and the fashion is unmatched. You're in that sweet spot when it's warm enough to still rock a skirt and a tank, but you can add a cool racer jacket and accessorize with a scarf. You can also experiment with layering without having to cover your entire outfit with a coat. Amazon has some great deals to welcome fall because summer is SO last season.

Amazon

Anne Klein Women's Amerie Ballet Flat

Please, let's not let the Mary Jane trend die out with summer. In the early fall, when it's still warm, these are the best everyday shoes to run around in. I especially think this ribbed design reminds me of a cozy sweater, so they would complement a fall fit perfectly. There is an AMAZING limited-time deal on these flats that you cannot pass up right now! Grab these flats in denim, navy, black, or red for $62 (was $79).

Amazon

Steve Madden Women's Sienna Denim Jacket

I am so mad at myself for getting rid of my denim jacket last year because, obviously, here I am wanting another one for the upcoming months. To me, a denim jacket is like your childhood friend: they are so loyal and will always be there for you, even if you may not be in constant contact. I love a loose-fitting, slouchy jacket like this one from Steve Madden that you can get on Amazon now for $65 (was $99).

Amazon

Vince Camuto Women's Reilly Sneaker

Don't pass up on these adorable Vince Camuto sneaks! I think the khaki and the ruffles make for a slightly dressier shoe than any normal sneaker. They have a bit of a platform to give you some height as well, if that's what you're looking for, and a cushy sole for extra comfort. They come in three different patterns and colors for $88 (was $79)!

Amazon

Levi's Women's Laydown Collar Racer Jacket

I absolutely need to have this sleek racer jacket for my fall collection. Jackets are my favorite clothing item because they can elevate any outfit to a whole other level. They are fashionable and functional at the same time. This Levi's jacket is like your basic leather jacket's mature older sister. It's so crisp and clean, and it's on sale at Amazon right now. Add this to your cart for $80 (was $98).

Amazon

The Drop Women's Bliss Two-Tone Ribbed Scarf

No fall fit can be complete without a scarf. Not only are they the best accessories, but they're also the most functional piece of clothing for keeping you warm, blocking the wind, and keeping you dry. It can do it all. Having a quality scarf is such a simple luxury that you can take with you everywhere. I love having different colored scarves to match every kind of outfit imaginable, just like this lavender two-toned scarf that you can get for $22 (was $30).

Amazon

LILLUSORY Wide Leg Dress Pants

Trousers are an absolute must in the fall! They elevate your look in an instant, taking a graphic tee to a new level. While a classic black pair are always necessary, these pants come in 16 total colors! Plus, this statement button is so cute — definitely adds a lot with just a little! You can grab these for $29 (was $36).

Amazon

Champion Women's Sweatpants

Nothing beats a good pair of sweatpants to slip into at the end of a chilly day. The temperature is cooling down, so we're ditching the shorts. Champion never does me wrong in the sweat pant department; the material is always soft and lasts for years. If you want a baggy, oversized look, be sure to size up a bit! Grab them now while they're on sale for only $38 (was $50).

Amazon

MEROKEETY Women's Fall Long Sleeve Cable Knit Sweater

Cardigans are total perfection in the fall, especially when it's cable knit! I mean, any good fall capsule wardrobe would have one, TBH. You have 20 color options with this classic cardi. Add it to your cart for $29 (was $58)!

Amazon

Joe's Jeans Women's The Milla Utility Wide Leg Cropped Denim Pant

We’re going to have to start slipping back into some pants soon enough... so let’s start with these super adorable wide-leg cargos! Earthy tones are perfect for the fall season, and I especially love how these are styled with the light brown Adidas Sambas. These are working pants that are also made to be high fashion. You can grab them at a great deal right now for $106 (was $198).

Amazon

Steve Madden Women's Regular Justine Blazer

Woohoo, wool! I can’t think of a better time to incorporate a classic blazer into your everyday looks than now. This piece from Steve Madden gives off the same energy as the classic Chanel blazers but at a fraction of the price. It’s classy and never going out of style. If you prefer an oversized look, don’t be afraid to size up! You can get one now for $73 (was $119).

Amazon

SaphiRose Women's Long Hooded Rain Jacket

While crisp fall days for wandering around the park and looking at the leaves are always the best, sometimes you can't help but get caught in the rain. This rain jacket is so sleek and so cute and so versatile — it'll definitely go with any outfit you wanna keep dry! You can grab this in six other colors — including a classic yellow option that's so fun — for $46 (was $60).

Amazon

Sam Edelman Women's Elfie Mid Calf Boot

Prioritize foot comfort always, especially when it gets chilly out. Fall footwear is the most diverse, in my opinion, giving you room to wear a wide range of shoe styles. I love a fuzzy boot, especially as we approach late November and early December. These Sam Edelman boots are the perfect synthetic fuzzy option to keep your feet warm this fall for $105 (was $200).

Amazon

Anne Klein Women's Bracelet Watch

When we think about fall fashion, we can't forget to add some fun new accessories. I rarely wear nice jewelry in the summer because I’m always in and out of the water, and I’m afraid of losing or ruining something. But once fall rolls around, I love getting back to a consistent jewelry stack and routine. I like to start with a good watch — having a nice, solid watch (that doesn’t have to be thousands of dollars or a family heirloom) can elevate any look. Just like this one from Anne Klein for $52 (was $65).

Amazon

isotoner Women's Fiona Clog Slipper

Ugh, I simply cannot wait for it to get colder so I can be all snuggled up in the comfort of my home. I wear slippers year-round because my feet are always cold, but I love treating myself to a new pair. There’s no better time than a new season to revamp your indoor footwear and treat yourself to some new slippers, especially while they’re on sale for $15 (was $40).

If there's anything Lorelai Gilmore loves in this world, it's coffee, coffee, coffee! The Gilmore Girls character literally always has a cup o' Joe in-hand, and even jokes at one time or another that she'd like to have the drink in an IV. (I wonder if that's what would finally cure my Monday morning slump?). Well, in honor of Gilmore Girls fall, one Starbucks location created their own drink to honor the Coffee Queen — but it didn't go exactly like they planned.

  • On September 26, an Odessa, Texas Starbucks advertised a "Lorelai Gilmore" recipe.
  • Gilmore Girls fans quickly pointed out Lorelai would be "a black dark roast girlie."
  • The location also offers an Emily Gilmore drink and a Rory Gilmore drink.

On September 26, the Instagram account for a Starbucks in Odessa, Texas advertised free samples of the drink they named The Lorelai Gilmore. The drink is made up of blonde roast coffee, oat milk, pumpkin sauce, cinnamon dolce cold foam, and cinnamon powder.

But despite how delicious the drink sounds (and the fact Lorelai would support any and every coffee lover snagging a cup), Gilmore Girls fans quickly took to the comments to point out one glaring detail: she definitely drinks her coffee black.

"Real ones know [Rory and Lorelai Gilmore] both drank coffee black no cream no sugar," one user says, while another agrees Lorelai would be "a black dark roast girlie."

A third suggests she'd order "a coffee with a whisper of peppermint," which totally has me thinking about her iconic "I smell snow" moments! And now I'm craving a peppermint mocha...

Starbucks

But if you're a PSL fan, don't worry. Latte lovers in the comments also pulled through, promising the drink tastes just as good as it sounds. "Kudos to whoever came up with this!!" one user adds. "Tried it yesterday and then again today, found the perfect pumpkin ratio for me✨✨✨ ready to embrace pumpkin szn like NEVER BEFORE 👀"

The Odessa Starbucks also featured a Rory Gilmore drink (iced chai with white mocha, pumpkin foam, caramel drizzle, and cinnamon dolce topping) and an Emily Gilmore drink (London fog with oat milk and honey).

BRB while I go whip up these drinks for myself!

Brie Larson takes wellness very seriously. And considering she's saved the universe as Captain Marvel and fought alongside King Kong in Kong: Skull Island, prioritizing her health only makes sense. I got up close and personal with the Oscar-winning actress at Thorne's Mocktail Club in New York City on October 8, where she told me that in the pursuit of wellness, she's "always" seeking to feel "happy and safe in my body."

  • Brie Larson tells Brit + Co that movement, breathing techniques, and temperature changes help her feel "happy and safe in my body."
  • When it comes to her work, she says she chooses stories with messages she'll "be able to live with for the rest of my life."
  • She also reveals the best piece of advice she's received, and says keeping it in mind "makes things easier."

But even Larson has days she feels off, saying she knows that feeling "very well," and whether it's seasonal blues or mental health days, she knows routine is where she thrives — and seasonal affective disorder lamps. "Light is a big game changer for me because I grew up in California," she says.

To engage her other senses, she relies on movement, breathing techniques, and temperature changes to keep in touch with her body. "A hot bath, a cold shower, both — anything that sort of wakes your brain up and kind of jolts it," she says. "I have a pretty demanding schedule and I truly don't have room to not feel like I'm present in my life. And so you come up with ways to figure out how to do that."

That includes everything from drinking plenty of water and prioritizing sleep to packing foam rollers and bands in her carry on. "It looks like a clown bag!" she says. "I always do [those exercises] every morning because even if I don't want to do it, which I always don't want to do it, I feel a lot better after I do it."

Thorne

Admittedly, that's exactly how I feel some days about making breakfast — but a powerhouse like Larson knows how important fueling our bodies is. "Pretty consistently I'm having an egg, like a breakfast sandwich, egg on toast first thing in the morning," she says. "I can't think beyond that for breakfast because I wake up so early. It's like there's no creativity happening in the morning. I'm sorry. No."

And while her mornings are all about wellness, her evenings are all about getting cozy, and she tells me her dream night in includes playing a new video game, wearing Gelato Pique sweatpants, and ordering Thai food. But when she's in the kitchen? "I've been making pasta and sausage quite a bit and I make tacos quite a bit. I mean, I kind of just do like protein and veggies and a little bit of a carb," she says.

Walt Disney Studios / Marvel Studios

Cozy nights in wouldn't be the same without a movie, and there's a very good chance you've seen Larson on your screen recently, whether you're rewatching Captain Marvel, 13 Going on 30, or Lessons in Chemistry. But how does the actress consistently choose such beautiful, inspiring pieces to work on? She equates the feeling to having a crush.

"When I feel like [a story] hits something that lives so truthfully in me that I just want to know if it's true to other people," she says. "I just know that we all have more that's the same than different...Film and television, it lives in a way that is beyond me physically. So I'm here talking to you, but anybody can be watching whatever they want. And so I try my best to think through what the pieces are saying so that they go out in the world and I don't get to be at the end of it and explain it or tell people what to feel or what to take from it. It lives a life outside of me. So I try and make sure that it has a complete message in it that I feel like I'll be able to live with for the rest of my life."

Apple TV+

Just like Carol Danvers and Elizabeth Zott empower so many viewers, Brie Larson says she feels empowered by her own Hollywood heroes. "Earlier in my career, like when I was trying to visualize what kind of career I wanted, it was Toni Colette and she's still a hero of mine, but she was truly the one that I was like, 'I want to disappear into characters the way she does.'"

"There's so many incredible [actors]," she continues. "Some of them are people that are more my age and some are older than me. But that's the fun part of my job is that there's so many good people and so many things that are getting made. And so it just feels like we're constantly kind of maneuvering, and when they take on certain roles and represent certain things, it frees up for other people to do other things. And so we kind of all work as a unit."

One movie on the horizon that I'm excited for is Mattel's new American Girl movie. Like many 80s and 90s kids, Brie Larson loved American Girl dolls — and borrowed her stage name from pioneer Kirsten Larson! And just like the rest of us AG kids, she tells me she can't wait for the movie. "I've also seen that there's going to be adult Halloween costumes, which I'm also very excited about," she says. Will she be grabbing a Kirsten one for herself? "I just might!"

Q+A With Brie Larson

Kevin Winter/Getty Images

What's the first thing you did after you won your Oscar?

I probably drank champagne...I drank champagne and I put sneakers on, and then I went to the airport.

What's the best piece of advice you've received?

"When I think I know, I miss so much." We all get stuck in these things — I think an easy one to think about is like, you're in a fight with your sibling or your partner, and you are just so right in how angry you are. And then maybe the next day you wake up and you're like, "Maybe there was another side to that." And so we miss things when we're in a space where we believe that we know. Having an openness to what something can be or that things can be different than what you think makes things easier.

Thorne

What's on your holiday bucket list?

I love the holidays. Because I'm in California, I really am looking forward to this year having a chilly winter. I love a cold winter, cozy winter. I love Christmas markets, so I'll definitely hit things like that. All the little holiday markets pop up around, yeah, it's just like a rare time when everybody is resting at the same time.

What are you watching, reading and listening to right now?

Okay. I am reading a book called Patricia Wants To Cuddle. I am watching Love is Blind season 7 because I am not silly. And listening to Chappell Roan, obviously.

The age-old Halloween dilemma (for some of us): Your funny sense of humor is dying to go with a Halloween costume that produces laughter, but another part of you wants to look sexy.
