A few October discoveries that became instant favorites:
- Ruler Diary: 2013 is still going strong, but Present & Correct got me to commit to a 2014 planner with this brilliant specimen. Love the utilitarian ruler cover, plus the inside is laid out perfectly for my daily note jotting + memory saving.
- Le Labo/Gaiac 10: Le Labo’s city exclusives are available worldwide until the 15th, and then the vault closes for a spell. Gaiac 10, Tokyo’s city scent, is a subtle woody musk that rounds out my Musc 25 and Rose 31 Le Labo arsenal. (Le Labo is all I wear, fragrance-wise.)
- Chanel Rouge Coco Shine/”Rebelle”: I am powerless when I come across a good red lipstick and Rebelle is a subtle, sheer, and natural red with plenty of shine. Sold.**
- Organic by John Patrick long-sleeve shirttail/”putty”: simply put, the best tees. Lightweight, but with great shape and perfect-for-Jane colors. I wear them to death + should buy in bulk. (I hope they add pink or slate blue for spring.)
- Rococo Chocolates/Organic Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Wafers: sure, the box is gorgeous, but the chocolate inside is even better. Sweet + salty goodness, and the wafer size makes it an (almost) guilt-free daily treat.

** i realize that this is the second month in a row i’ve recommended a sheer, red lipstick. trust me, this one is worth the repetition.
