October 1, 2024
It’s true, in fact. Life seems to start all over again when it gets crisp in the fall. It has us craving creativity, a revisit to the best fall movies, and a new autumnal energy.
And as we welcome the first day of October, we can’t help but reflect on the moments from the past month that awakened a creative refresh inside of us. The turning of this particular season brings with it a feeling of rejuvenation, unlike any other time of year.
While January might be the start of the new year, fall is the start of a new life. Everything seems to change once autumn officially hits.
Maybe it’s the fact that Gilmore Girls Season has arrived. Maybe it’s the fact that back-to-school season is here, and suddenly has us wanting to buy a chic new planner. Or perhaps it’s the crisp mornings and sunny afternoons – those glorious afternoons when the golden hour light reflects through the changing leaves – that create an innate beauty all around us.
No matter the reason, fall is when we allow ourselves to dream big. But it’s so much more than just dreaming, it’s the season when we put our dreams into action. It’s the season in which everything changes in a way that we’ve been contemplating all year long.
It’s the reason why in fact you might have this gut instinct that has you ready to embrace change, too.
What you do in the next few months can completely change the course of your year – and the year to come.
So, want to know what we’d encourage?
Grab that ridiculously cozy sweater out of the closet. Trade in your Cruel Summer playlist and dust off the Evermore playlist instead. Light the fancy candle. Get yourself that chic new planner. Trade in that summer fragrance for a moody santal scent.
And embrace the beauty of the creativity and inspiration that is naturally flowing within you.
FROM THE STUDIO
WHAT WE’RE CREATING: SHOWIT WEBSITE TEMPLATES
Well, well, well if it isn’t us being the advocates of what we’ve preached so far in this months edition 😉 We’ve been so busy over the past few months getting everything buttoned up on a project that’s been a creative labor of love to bring to life.
ICYMI: We recently launched The Template Atelier; a semi-custom Showit Website Template Shop that’s truly been year(s) in the making. We’re so overjoyed to finally have this out in the world – and to see the magic you create from it. The core reason we created this was to make beautiful design more accessible for everyone. If you’ve wanted to work with us but haven’t had the budget (trust us, we absolutely get it) this might just be the thing you’ve been waiting for.
If your season of change has been calling for a major brand upgrade, your wishes have been answered.
Plus, as a massive thank you for being here – you can use code “FALLREFRESH” to get $100 off any template for a limited time.
THE HOXTON EDIT
WHAT WE’RE COVETING: THE FALL WARDROBE EDIT
Autumn absolutely oozes chicness. The layers. The fabrics. The colors. Oh don’t even get us started on the colors. It’s the one season that somehow seamlessly blends elegance with coziness in a way that we’ve been waiting, nay – craving, all year. Le sigh, autumn, we’re truly your biggest fans.
We’re excited to share The Hoxton Edit with you, a curation of some of our teams must have seasonal items, and those that we’re absolutely drooling over (give us all the suede, please and thank you). Check out a sneak peak below, or peruse the entire edit right here.
THE BEST FALL MOVIES TO WATCH IN 2024
WHAT WE’RE CONSUMING: THE BEST FALL MOVIES TO WATCH
While summer films might belong to Nancy Meyers, our autumnal queen Nora Efron absolutely rules over fall. We’re trading in our east coast summer vibes for brownstones, bouquets of freshly sharpened pencils, and the nostalgia of New York City in the 90’s.
While this season undoubtedly brings about a time of change, creative resurgences, and beginning anew, it’s also a time to take care of yourself. If you find yourself in need of a good evening film, we’ve got you covered.
And yes, we know Gilmore Girls technically isn’t a movie, but it is (not-so-technically) the official sponsor of fall. Consider this permission to begin your annual rewatch.
If you’re still reading thus far, hats off to you.
And, if after enjoying our little corner of the internet’s latest installment, you’ve found yourself inspired for a creative refresh of your own, don’t forget you can get $100 off any of our Showit website templates for a limited time, just use code “FALLREFRESH” at checkout through October 15, 2024.
Thank you for being here – and we’re wishing you a season of nothing but cozy goodness, and endless inspiration.
