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.

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.
Madewell The Arden Crewneck Cotton Sweater
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.
Madewell Textured Stitch Short Sleeve Cardigan
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.
Women's Signature Cashmere Fisherman Sweater
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.
Women's Essential Merino Wool Sweater, Polo
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.
Women's Adirondack Barn Coat, Flannel-Lined
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.
Tissue Long-Sleeve Crew
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.
Dream Jersey Rugby Polo
Bags
The fall bags I’m currently dreaming about: rich brown leather, suede, woven textures and plenty of classic everyday shapes.
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
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.
Coach Suede Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 39
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
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.
Loeffler Randall Vinnie Mini Woven Crossbody Bag
Shoes
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
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
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
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.
The Max Square Mary Jane in ReVelvet™ Russet
Home Goods
September home finds for making the house feel cozy, seasonal and just a little bit spooky.
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
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.
Set Of 4 Crochet Embroidered Ghost Placemats
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.
24" Burnt Orange & Burgundy Peony Wreath by Ashland®
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.
16.5" x 13.5" Mango Wood Pumpkin Tray by Ashland®
These are such a good everyday fall table staple. The dark brown rattan adds warmth and texture without screaming “seasonal decor.”
Dark Brown Rattan Intertwined Placemat (Set of 4)
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.
Uncomfortable Life Needlepoint Pillow
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.
Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw
Tiny coffee cups are my weakness, and this one feels so cute for a slow September morning. Definitely giving cozy café-at-home vibes.
5 fl oz Espresso Cup and Saucer - Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia
A simple, oversized mug that looks like it belongs beside a book and a blanket. Basically everything I want from my September mornings.
16oz Moira Ceramic Mug Cream - Threshold™
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.
5 Wick XL Scalloped Glass Smoked Apple Cider Jar Candle 32oz - Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia
Books
My September reading wishlist: Canadian stories, complicated families, emotional mysteries and one VERY anticipated Jodi Picoult.
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
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
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
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
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
