What’s in my September 2026 Cart

Purple Star emoji 38 items
September is basically my favourite excuse to start fresh with my shopping cart. This month is a very intentional mix of fall fashion, cozy home finds and books I absolutely do not need but will probably convince myself I do. Think rich browns, sued...

Clothes

September is basically my favourite excuse to start buying sweaters again, and apparently my cart has already gotten the memo.

This feels like the perfect September sweater. I love the classic rollneck and the subtle stripe because it gives me that cozy New England fall feeling without being too heavy for early autumn.

I’m still very much in my short-sleeve cardigan era. This is such a good transitional piece for when it feels like fall in the morning and summer by lunchtime.

The fisherman sweater is basically a permanent resident on my fall wishlist. This one is definitely an investment, but it’s exactly the kind of classic knit I could see wearing for years.

I love a sweater that feels classic but has just enough detail to make an outfit interesting. The polo neckline makes this feel a little more polished than a standard crewneck.

At this point, we all know I have a barn jacket problem. This one has been on my radar for a while, and the flannel lining makes it especially appealing for those first properly chilly fall days.

A denim sweatshirt? How could I not put this in my cart? It feels like such a fun way to do casual fall dressing without reaching for another basic sweatshirt.
Pilcro Pullover Sweatshirt

The wardrobe basic I know I’d wear constantly. A good lightweight long-sleeve is one of those pieces that makes layering so much easier once the temperatures start bouncing around.

I’m always on the hunt for that perfect straight-leg jean, and this deep wash feels especially good for fall. These would work with basically every sweater and jacket already in my cart.
The ’90s Cheeky® Jean

This is giving cozy weekend uniform. I love a soft, easy top that can be thrown on with jeans and still feel a little more elevated than a sweatshirt.
Poppy Double Knit Crewneck

And naturally, I couldn’t make a September cart without another rugby polo. The preppy side of me remains undefeated.

Bags

The fall bags I’m currently dreaming about: rich brown leather, suede, woven textures and plenty of classic everyday shapes.
 
Felicity Phillips profile picture
This is probably my favourite bag in the whole section. The woven leather and suede combination feels so expensive, and that warm brown is basically made for fall.
Madewell Suede Leather Handwoven Tote

Felicity Phillips profile picture
A classic everyday tote with that slightly slouchy, lived-in look I love. I can already picture this with denim, a fisherman sweater and loafers.
Madewell The Lexington Tote in Leather

The perfect casual fall shoulder bag. The soft suede makes it feel cozy without being overly trendy, and I love the slightly undone shape.

A polished everyday option when I want something a little more structured. The classic leather shape makes this one feel like it could stay in my wardrobe for years.
Coach Natural Grain Leather Plaza Bag
placeholder
 
Felicity Phillips profile picture
A smaller option for days when I absolutely do not need to carry my entire life around with me. The woven texture gives it that little something extra.

Shoes

 
Felicity Phillips profile picture
These are the knee-high boots I want for fall. That deep chocolate brown is so much more interesting than black, and they would look incredible with dresses, denim and skirts.
Leather Knee-High City Boot
placeholder
 
Felicity Phillips profile picture
A classic ankle boot that I know I’d wear constantly. Simple, polished and exactly the kind of everyday fall shoe I never get tired of.
The Lexie Ankle Boot

I love a retro sneaker moment, and these feel like such an easy way to make jeans and a sweater look a little more styled.
Nike Cortez Sneakers

The perfect clean, understated sneaker for those early fall days when I’m not quite ready to fully commit to boots.
Veja Volley Canvas Sneakers

I KNOW some people are going to hate these, but I absolutely love them. The Mary Jane twist on the Samba is weirdly perfect to me, and I think they’ll be so cute with straight-leg denim.
adidas Samba Jane Shoes

Felicity Phillips profile picture
A loafer-clog hybrid in the most gorgeous mushroomy brown. These feel very “fall coffee run in a cute sweater” to me, and apparently they’re comfortable enough to wear right out of the box.
Women's Penny Clog in ReVelvet™ Portobello
placeholder
 
Felicity Phillips profile picture
Okay, these are such a fun addition. The russet brown is gorgeous for fall, and I love the slightly vintage feel of a square-toe Mary Jane.

Home Goods

September home finds for making the house feel cozy, seasonal and just a little bit spooky.
 
Felicity Phillips profile picture
The kind of Halloween decoration I’d actually want to pull out every year. Big, classic jack-o’-lanterns without feeling overly cheesy.
36in Outdoor Safe Three Stack Jack O Lanterns

Felicity Phillips profile picture
Okay, these are ridiculously cute. I love a Halloween detail that feels more charming than spooky, and the crochet texture makes them feel extra special.

A beautiful option for transitioning into fall without immediately going full pumpkin. The mix of leaves and berries feels very cozy and classic.
26" Fall Leaves & Blue Berries Wreath by Ashland

This colour combination is basically autumn in wreath form. I especially love the deeper burgundy because it makes it feel a little richer and more elevated.

A pumpkin-shaped serving piece that can actually be useful? Sold. I’d use this for everything from coffee-table styling to serving little fall treats.

These are such a good everyday fall table staple. The dark brown rattan adds warmth and texture without screaming “seasonal decor.”

You already know I’m going to love a cheeky pillow. This is the kind of little unexpected detail that makes a room feel like it actually has a personality.

Because September officially means I want a blanket within arm’s reach at all times. This is the kind of throw that makes curling up on the couch feel like an activity.

Tiny coffee cups are my weakness, and this one feels so cute for a slow September morning. Definitely giving cozy café-at-home vibes.

A simple, oversized mug that looks like it belongs beside a book and a blanket. Basically everything I want from my September mornings.

Ending with one of my favourite fall scents: warm, spiced and a little nostalgic. This is the candle I’d light when I want the house to immediately feel like autumn.

Books

My September reading wishlist: Canadian stories, complicated families, emotional mysteries and one VERY anticipated Jodi Picoult.
 
Felicity Phillips profile picture
A second-chance story with complicated friendships, old feelings and a gorgeous New York setting. It sounds like the perfect lighter read to balance out the heavier books on this list.
It's Different This Time

Felicity Phillips profile picture
I’ve heard such amazing things about this one, and the missing-child storyline immediately caught my attention. It feels like exactly the kind of layered, atmospheric story I love.
The Berry Pickers
placeholder
 
Felicity Phillips profile picture
A story about grief, friendship and the complicated relationships we leave behind. This sounds emotional, intriguing and a little bit messy in the best way.
Loved One
placeholder
 
Felicity Phillips profile picture
A Canadian story I’ve been meaning to read for ages. It follows five residential school survivors as they try to rebuild their lives, and I know this one will stay with me.
Five Little Indians
placeholder
 
Felicity Phillips profile picture
One of my most anticipated releases of the year. It’s Jodi Picoult, so obviously I’m expecting complicated relationships, big questions and something that completely wrecks me.
Hollow Bones
