Monthly Favorites

Is it just me or did October go by in a flash? One minute the weather was cooling down and the next Halloween was already over! As short as the month was, I was able to jot down a few of my favorite things to share with you. Keep reading to see my October favorites!

Stores

Old Navy- I will be the first to admit I used to stick up my nose at Old Navy. I felt like it was good for basics but nothing was ever trendy. Boy, has that changed! I went into an Old Navy the other day and found the CUTEST maroon suede-like jacket. So on trend and the best part? It was on sale! I have been wearing it almost everyday and I couldn't love it more. I've also been browsing their selection online and I must say I am impressed. I can't wait to buy more staple pieces for the upcoming months!

Books

When Life Gives You Lulu Lemons by Lauren Weisberger- I'm a huge Devil Wears Prada fan (both movie and book) so I was very excited to start reading this sequel. This time, the main character is Emily instead of Andy, as well as two new characters by the names of Miriam and Karolina. If you're all about the life and drama of the elite that we don't get to see behind the scenes, pick up this book. You won't regret it!

Music

Killer Queen by 5SOS- Oh. My. God. No one told me my favorite Aussies covered my favorite Queen song?? This is an amazing cover, and it's especially cool to watch the behind the scenes making of the song on YouTube. In honor of the new biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, a bunch of artists are covering Queen songs but this one is by far my favorite. Add to your Spotify playlist. Now.

Joan of Arc by Little Mix- Little Mix says it best, "I don't need a man, if I'm loving you it's cause I can." This is the power women ballad I really needed at this point in my life and I guarantee you need it to. Can we just talk about how bad ass Little Mix is?? We need to stop sleeping on them. Little Mix for President.

Food

Trader Joe's Garlic Dip- My best friend Emily introduced me to this dip and I'm OBSESSED! It's just garlic mixed with canola oil but I swear it's life changing. Dip it with veggies, crackers, bread -- whatever! It would even be good on a sandwich in sub for mayo. Check it out if you're a garlic lover like me!

Trader Joe's Cauliflower Gnocchi- This product is an enigma, isn't it? Everyone talks about it yet whenever you get to the store it's never in stock. Well, by some miracle I was able to snag a bag of this stuff and it definitely lived up to the hype. I would recommend pairing with pesto or a light sauce because I downed mine in vodka sauce which I think defeated the purpose...oops! If by some miracle this is in stock when you go to TJ's GRAB A BAG!
