Here are three books for grown-ups and two for kids that are all frightfully good. Hope you enjoy! The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware Ruth Ware is a masterful storyteller in the thriller genre; I loved her book Dark, Dark Wood, so I knew I wanted to check out her fourth novel, which came out this past spring. This murder mystery-slash-family drama-slash mistaken identity centered around an inheritance is played out in the town of Cornwall, where the family home is called Trepassen House and the housekeeper’s signature dish is gristle stew. Even when it’s gorgeous outside, I feel like I’m reading this on a cold, stormy night. Social Creature by Tara Isabella Burton The New York Post called this novel “The Talented Mr. Ripley for the social media age,” and it couldn’t be more true: Set in the glittery socialite/literary circles of Manhattan, the story deftly pits a have vs. a have-not, with much of the focus on our reliance on and addiction to our iPhones.

I know, I know, it’s already mid-October and I’m a little late to the party, but it’s just now starting to cool off here in Austin and I can’t wait to finally indulge in a little fall fashion. It’s my favorite style season. The warm colors, luxe plaids, cozy knits, leather boots and structured coats—it’s everything I love. And in the spirit of mixing things up (hello, Gen Z yellow), I’m reaching for more prints and patterns to update my closet. These three caught my eye. They feel fresh, yet totally classic, and are entirely easy to add to your everyday wardrobe. Here are the prints I’m most looking forward to wearing this season. What would you add? POLKA DOTS This print sometimes feels too retro, but new fall collections feature bolder patterns and modern silhouettes that make them feel fresh. I like to pair them with slightly more masculine accessories (say, sneakers with a minidress or a chunky men’s watch with a cashmere sweater) to balance out their feminine sweetness.   Boden Cashmere Sweater, $190     19 Cooper Woven Romper, $84 Cynthia Rowley Shift Dress, $425     PLAID   I’ll blame it on my 90s […]
