Welcome to another edition of Links + Loves! Let’s jump right in…

Even if you aren’t a parent, there’s just something about that transition of school starting, right? A few of our editors are tackling home school and distance learning, and some of us are just stocking up on school supplies for the nostalgia of it all, but we’re all feeling that fall is around the corner and we’re excited for the new season. We’ve started brainstorming ideas for a different kind of Halloween and we’re looking ahead to the holiday season, too. Hopefully, we’ll be a helpful guide to you as we all navigate the 2020 holidays together!

And on another note, yesterday was one of our favorite days of the year — the new Rue de Seine collection launched! (Speaking of purple wedding dresses…!) Did you see it?

Just stop everything you’re doing and make this almond cranberry cake. I’m not kidding!

My new go-to housewarming gift that’s perfect for anyone.

Staying cozy indoors with this bralette that is both cute and comfortable. Yes, Aerie!
