Earlier this year, I made the cross-country move from NYC to L.A. One of the main selling points for me was the perfect temperate weather and warm sunshine—it feels like summer 24/7! On the other hand, my friends on the East Coast have braved a scorching hot and humid summer, and they've told me they're already craving the crisp fall weather—as well as spiced lattes, fall fashion, and weekends upstate. I'm never one to gatekeep my recommendations, so I thought I'd curate a list of items for them to shop to help them get into a cozy fall mood.
The first tab I opened was The North Face's new arrivals. This brand's high-quality pieces have broad appeal. They're beloved by everyone from NYC-based celebs and fashion girls to veteran hikers like my dad. I'm not even kidding—he still wears pieces from The North Face he bought in the 1980s, so you know they're built to last! They're also made to go everywhere: You can wear them on your work commute, to a workout class, or during a long weekend escape in nature. If you're also in a fall shopping mood, keep scrolling to shop my edit.
Bags
These bags are the definition of versatile. Take them with you on your commute to work or school during the week, and then use them on a picturesque hiking trail over the weekend.
Tops + Bottoms
I'm always shopping for new activewear, especially during the change in season. These long-line bras, high-waisted leggings, cozy sweatshirts, and versatile pants are the pieces I'm adding to my cart to stay active this fall.
Shoes
The sneakers provide ample support on and off the trail. If you're always running around the city like my friends are or exploring new trails, these shoes will be your best friend.
