October always feels like a month made for slowing down just enough to notice the beauty around us. The air turns crisp, the days get shorter, and something quietly magical lingers in the evenings — a blend of candlelight, cozy sweaters, and maybe a whisper of mystery in the air. I loved this time of year in Seattle. I still have so many of those seasonal clothes packed up at my moms with the rest of our belongings. I just can’t seem to let them go!

This year, I’m saying goodbye to October from Mexico, where the shift into November feels less about the chill in the air and more about the warmth of tradition. The streets are coming alive with marigolds, candles, and papel picado dancing in the breeze. It’s a time when families build altars filled with photos, flowers, and favorite foods — offerings to honor and welcome back loved ones who’ve passed. Día de los Muertos (Day of The Dead) isn’t about sadness; it’s a beautiful celebration of memory, color, and connection.

As the sun sets, music drifts through the neighborhoods, and you can feel the reverence and joy in the air — it’s a kind of magic that’s both grounding and uplifting. While I may not need my Seattle scarves or heavy sweaters here, I still find comfort in soft fabrics, flowing silhouettes, and those pieces that feel like an embrace — the kind that carry warmth, wherever you are.

Back in Seattle, Meadow is wrapping itself in all the cozy layers October brings. Our racks are filled with soft knits, warm neutrals, and scarves that feel like small hugs — everything that makes fall in the Northwest so special. It’s sweater weather at its best, when a new coat or a textured vest can transform even the simplest day into something lovely.

So many brands this week that you will love! Like &MERCI, CIELO, RISEN, LOVE TREE J.O.A. and DREAMERS. See below for all the styles of the season that is upon us!

MY PICK THIS WEEK: There’s something timeless about simplicity done right — and this look is exactly that. The deep forest-green sweater by &MERCI brings a soft, feminine silhouette with its subtle puff sleeves and refined neckline, elevating a classic knit into something special. It feels cozy and elegant at the same time — the kind of top that makes you stand a little taller. Paired with rich, dark-wash straight-leg denim, by RISEN, the outfit strikes the perfect balance between polished and relaxed. The denim elongates the leg with a sleek, clean finish, while the structured sweater adds just the right touch of sophistication. Finish the look with metallic heels or a sleek boot and you have a ready-for-anything ensemble — brunch, browsing Fall boutiques (Meadow), or date-night strolling under twinkle lights. It’s understated, modern, and effortlessly chic — a nod to Autumn’s richness without ever trying too hard.

Classic. Warm. Unmistakably pulled-together. So here’s to the last glow of October — to sweaters that wrap us in comfort, to candles that light the way, and to the beautiful reminder that no matter where we are in the world, there’s always magic waiting to be found. I sure miss you guys and I really miss Meadow Boutique. It brought me so much joy and well, the fashion always was in my budget!

Goodbye October. Hello magic. Hello memories, color, and the wonder that comes when we pause to celebrate it all. We are right here with you celebrating you and the joy this season ahead will bring! xoxoxoxo
