FALL + HALLOWEEN TARGET FINDS

Beaded Claw Hair Clip // Glazed Pecans // Halloween Cat Earrings // Halloween Scrunchies // Cozy Pajama Pants // Skeleton Halloween Earrings 

The only thing better than shopping at Target is shopping at Target during the holidays. I live for the fall, Halloween and everything in between. I've also found some fun (and super rando) things lately that in a way also have their own little fall vibe going? Lol, you know how it is. My fellow Target people understand! 

If you like nuts/pecans, these Glazed Pecans are sooooo addicting. My new fave snack. Ya'll also know I couldn't resist these cat earrings or scrunchies either. Will I wear the scrunchies? Debatable, TBH. Did I have to have them? Obvioussssllllyyyyy. Tag me in your Target finds on IG-- I want to see! 

I love sharing my picks with you all! Should you click on or make a purchase through the links in this post, I'll earn some money to keep on shopping! Pretty cool, huh? :)

MY FAVORITE FALL BLOG POSTS FROM LAST YEAR

We've been calling it fall over here for weeks now so I've been brainstorming some fun blog posts + content to share with you. I was going back through some of last year's posts to get some inspo and let me tell you-- there are some gems here on TKD if I do say so myself! Lol. ;) I'm still working on the rest of my ideas for this year but until then, hopefully these faves will get you in the fall mood. PS-- also be sure to check out What I Want for Fall, Fall Sneakers I'm Loving Right Now + Fall Books I Want to Read. 

1. MY FALL BUCKET LIST - Every year I make a list with all of the fall activities I want to do. I love this time of the year but you blink and it's time for Christmas. It goes by WAY too fast so I like to map out my game plan. A few of my favorite things like watching movies + baking always end up on the list. What's on your list for this year?

2. TASTE TESTING TRADER JOE'S PUMPKIN BREAD + MUFFIN MIX - Can we agree that pumpkin bread is one of the best things about fall? I love trying out different mixes from the grocery store so last year I made the one from Trader Joe's... which ones should I try this year?

MY FALL BUCKET LIST

A few days ago someone brought it to my attention that we've almost made it to mid-September. I couldn't believe how fast the month is already going by. Of course I keep up with my dates, but something just didn't really click until they said it out loud?? I'm all too familiar with this-- every year when the fall season rolls around, work and life become a chaotic blur. Everything goes by so fast and I'm always left feeling like I missed out on the fun of autumn. I don't have a lot of free time to do all of the fall activities but I did round up a list of some fun "manageable" things I can hopefully squeeze in! *Disclaimer -- all things basic b*tch here! Comes with the territory, right??* 

+ CARAMEL APPLE MACCHIATO 

We'll start with the most basic and arguably easiest thing to do on the list. I don't buy into the PSL culture-- if I remember correctly, I tried it once back in college and wasn't a fan. I do, however, love an iced coffee and will try some of the non-pumpkin LTOs that come out at Starbucks. I'm very into the idea of the Caramel Apple Macchiato (iced, obvi) on this year's lineup. I loveeeee a Caramel Macchiato so a lil' apple twist could be nice?? I've been putting it off in an effort to avoid lines and that suga suga but it's SEPTEMBER 13TH. Ya'll know peppermint's on it's way as we speak!

+ TRADER JOE'S
I missed my window on this last year but my ultimate fall dream is to buy + try all of the pumpkin/fall items at Trader Joe's. The closest TJ to me is a little over an hour away (tragic, I know) which makes this one a little bit tricky. I went late September/early October last year and everything was pretty much gone so making this one happen is a wild card. Will I make it in time? Only time will tell! 

+ WARDROBE REFRESH
Don't you always feel like you need a wardrobe refresh? I think we can all agree now is the best time of the year when it comes to outfits + fashion which means lots of great pieces in stores. I'm always on the hunt for some great basics (jeans + tees) but also need some new seasonal sweatshirts, athleisure + shoes options.

+ FALL FOLIAGE
If you have changing leaves + trees, taking a drive is a must.

+ LET'S BAKE
Another must-do. What is it about fall and baking? Forever obsessed with any pumpkin or cinnamony goodness.

Realizing now that fall is just an excuse for me to feed my snack obsession... anyone else? 😋
